There is no eternal winner in the world, just like knowing everything about the king, you will lose to an Alzheimer's patient. Buying your own car is far worse than running for president of the United States, but if you narrow your perspective to a family, the correctness of such an expenditure of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands is much more important than the dispute between donkeys and elephants.
So, how much does it cost to buy the wrong car? Let me give you some examples.
Three-cylinder car owners who enjoy shaking like an earthquake every day.
Everyone likes green mountains and green waters, but no one likes National Six.
Three cylinders means the same thing. Everyone likes low fuel consumption, but they don't like three cylinders. If you ask a "professional" about the three cylinders, they will habitually blurt out the following views:
"Every family's engine is modular. Taking one cylinder out of four cylinders is as simple as reaching out and typing on the keyboard. It is also logical to lose a cylinder for the cost. "
"shake! How can the three cylinders not sway? Don't trust the reverse balance shaft and hydraulic mount. Shaking this thing is naturally determined by the structure. "
"Don't shake now doesn't mean don't shake in the future, rubber parts aging in the future, shook your life. At that time, you will regret it! "
I'm afraid these remarks have scared many wealthy buyers. For an ordinary user who doesn't want to study automobile technology deeply, those technical terms are as profound as the formulas of quantum mechanics, and he doesn't want to understand what these things mean at all. At this time, some "professionals" are needed to "translate" this, but unfortunately, these "professionals" will not say everything like software translation of foreign languages, and always bring their own subjective opinions.
So what price did those who bought three cylinders really pay for their "youth and ignorance" in those years? For example, the three-cylinder Focus has low torsional strength and fast dynamic response. They even thought that one day the three cylinders would eventually start a prairie fire like turbocharging, thinking that turbocharging was not a white injection.
Compared with 1 system
Fox is not bad without tanks.
But three years later, people still don't recognize the three cylinders. It is not because time makes all false things clear and distinguishable, but because time has changed the world. In the early days of turbocharging, the first car that most people came into contact with was a turbine, and the network did not have today's influence. Not everyone can make a statement by tapping the keyboard. A modem, a computer connected to a telephone line, and even a traffic fee calculated in KB are all thresholds. Today is different from the past. The current network environment makes more people realize what is "awesome".
Today's media don't need any press cards, theoretical training or even "harmony". Those who can't use it will also be affectionately called "media teachers". In the era when traffic is king and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, just put the renderings of the three cylinders and then scold them, and you will get a big wave of traffic. Who would object to readers? Think about it before, there were so many people watching the excitement on the roadside, and now they can make money by raising seedlings together.
In the end, it's not just the owner who bought a three-cylinder car who is depressed. Car companies that insisted on developing three cylinders in those years were even more uncomfortable.
The fourth generation Fit unexpectedly continues the current 1.5L four-cylinder version, and GM can only put the 1.5L four-cylinder engine that has been used for many years back on the job. Geely also returned the old 1.4T four-cylinder engine to Yue Bin, and BMW is also developing a 1.6T four-cylinder engine named B48B 16 to replace the current 65438. People seem to prefer the old brothers 10 years ago to the new brothers.
Four cylinders are the last bottom line for most people.
If there is any loss for the owners of the three-cylinder car, there seems to be no loss on the material level, mainly because the pressure on the spiritual level will be greater.
Now you tell an "old driver" that you bought a three-cylinder car, and he will hold back that "stupid X" and show you the most tactful dissuasion a middle-aged man can do. However, you can always feel that you have suffered 60 mental injuries from his embarrassed expression.
This three-cylinder engine carries the first memories of cars in China.
It has also hurt the people of China too deeply.
China is full of wild leeks.
If the three cylinders are completely victims of online public opinion, then the new forces in the new energy clearly know that the sword has a special double-edged blade, which can not only cut people but also self-defeating.
"Do traditional car companies dare to drive up the purchase price of spare parts? Can you put an end to inflated car prices? Can I keep upgrading online? Can you show your intellectual advantage? "
"The car has been built for more than one hundred years, and it will be ruined without a breakthrough! What do we need? Internet thinking! "
The new forces subvert the tradition and develop cars with Internet thinking. To be honest, I don't understand this kind of internet thinking for so many years. Apart from subverting the world hundreds of times in speeches, killing a group of street vendors and hollowing out a group of men's private money and women's online loans in life, what else?
But as long as you want a talent, meeting new forces is as hard to refuse as an old smoker who smokes white towers for ten years and sees a pack of China people.
Completely different sales model, NFC key, transparent A-pillar, window projection, etc. Never mind whether these things are used or not, it is most important to feel the thrill of being wrapped in future gray technology.
Newcomers who have just entered the business have harvested a batch of wild leeks with the sharp edge of the Internet and gained a wave of experience. Isn't it cool? But when collecting the sword, the new forces also cut off their fingers. It is not only car companies that can bring rhythm, but also media that are short of money on their accounts. Never mind whether there is a seam or not, let's talk about it first. Coupled with the anti-elite sentiment cultivated by contemporary people, it has given this kind of behavior great communication energy.
What really bothers car owners about endurance problems and product defects is not the actual losses caused by these problems, but the passive shaking of "knowledgeable and intelligent" people. It doesn't matter if they fold wallets, and folding faces is even more disgusting. I didn't buy BBA at that time not only because I couldn't shake the number, but BYD was also good.
In order to save the sense of superiority that users should have bought with money, Li Ge stated: "It is difficult for new forces to be in these old-school keyboard men, but I know how fragrant my car is, regardless of what others do."
However, for some Tesla owners, the loss of their wallets has reached an unacceptable level, and wild leeks suddenly feel pain.
Although the continuous price reduction only happened to Tesla, it also hurt other new power brands. Maybe when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Tesla, who has entered China, has joined this involuted "power game", and it is either winning or dying.
There are other "chestnuts" that are not sweet at all.
The above two examples are more extreme. Besides them, I can give more examples: Peugeot cars are pleasant to drive, but unpleasant to sell; DS is a good car, but the store is gone; Modern is cheap and easy to drive, but some people always say that you are a taxi. These all belong to the car itself, not bad, but dead. Apart from losing some money, buying them is harmless. Also: if you want a Porsche, buy a Zotye; Off-road vehicles choose cheetahs; I bought Na Zhijie and found that I couldn't afford to feed oil. This is not only a loss, but also a bad heart.
Write at the end:
Looking at the auto market, anything that can be sold has some truth, except those pigs dancing on the tuyere. What is lacking most in today's society is the ability to think. There are very few people who can be unaffected by public opinion, and some have gone to the rhythm or taught very successfully.
In this way, it is too difficult for people who don't want to bother to learn to buy a car, but as long as the car is a high-priced consumer product, it is inevitable that it is true and false.
So let's relax. Just a car. Economically speaking, buying the wrong roof will cost tens of thousands of dollars more. Psychologically speaking, the main harm comes from this. It is always unpleasant to be treated as a fool by others, especially when you are wronged. Therefore, you can always see many car owners complaining about their cars. The more rampant the keyboard is, the more fierce the resistance will be, although it is often futile in the end.
Actually, why bother Truth is always in the hands of a few people. Instead of casting pearls before swine, learn from my teacher.
