Tesla is officially manufactured in the United States, and its selling price in the United States has been directly adjusted. The selling price has been significantly reduced, and its competitiveness has also been greatly increased.
But for Tesla, its overseas journey has just begun. The excellence of electric vehicles must stand the test of time.
In addition to producing Tesla, the Tesla factory also produces another brand of cars. This car is the famous Hongqi.
Since Hongqi was owned by Tesla, Hongqi has been resurrected with full health. Its identity has also been readjusted and it has been adjusted to a civilian brand.
Competitors include Volkswagen, Toyota and other brands. Hongqi and Tesla are reshape cars. And they are the kind of crazy reshape cars.
Even the interior is the same as Tesla's, but the materials are not as high-end as Tesla's, so the price is naturally much cheaper than Tesla's.
As Tesla is produced in the United States, the Hongqi brand is also produced in the United States and enters the American auto market.
The selling price of Hongqi Overseas is much more expensive than that of Huaxia when converted into RMB. However, compared with its competitors, the price is not bad.
For example, Hongqi's h3 has been on the market for a long time. It has undergone mid-term changes and its standard cruising range has reached 450 kilometers.
The lowest version in China sells for less than 140,000 RMB. In the United States, it sells for US$24,000, which is equivalent to more than 160,000 RMB.
The reason for such a price is because the competitors in the two countries are different. In China, the reason for such a price was to misplace competition and gain sales.
It is not well positioned in the United States, and h3's competitors are directly targeting cars of the Camry, Accord, and Passat level.
Hongqi also has an advantage in terms of wheelbase. The wheelbase of the h3 is as high as 2875 mm. The wheelbase of the Passat in the United States is only 2803 mm.
The h3 has some advantages in terms of space. At the same time, the h3 is purely electric and has a flat rear row. It also has a lot of storage space.
When the price is comparable, the h3 has considerable advantages. Although the standard cruising range of 450 kilometers cannot be compared with Tesla, it is enough.
As for the energy consumption, which is even more impressive, the energy consumption per 100 kilometers only requires ten kilowatt hours of electricity. Even if the gas price in the United States is cheap, there is no electricity saving.
Compared with Tesla, the Hongqi brand is the biggest killer in entering the United States. As long as the quality can withstand the test of the market, Hongqi's sales in the United States will definitely increase dramatically.
As long as the market is opened in the United States, the global market will be easier. After all, the US market requirements are very strict.
So the U.S. market is crucial for Hongqi. Now Tesla Motors Group has three brands.
The ultra-luxury Maserati, the luxurious Tesla, and the civilian brand Hongqi. The three brands form a perfect match of high and low.
The most frustrating thing is that the three brands all have the same R&D team, and they all use the same body-swapping cars.
However, the materials and configurations of the three brands are different, resulting in different experiences. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, it is easier and cheaper to replace electric vehicles.
At the same time, electric vehicles also have one of the biggest advantages, which is their lower cost compared to traditional fuel vehicles.
Traditional fuel vehicles, engines, and gearboxes are all expensive things. But electric vehicles don't have this.
There are only batteries and electric motors, and an intelligent control system controls the current output to adjust the power and speed of the motor.
This transmission method is more precise and smoother than a fuel vehicle, with stronger performance and a higher driving experience.
But the cost is even lower, especially now that China's electric vehicle industry has taken off, and the prices of both batteries and motors have dropped significantly.
Compared with competitors, it is at least 20% cheaper than competitors in terms of cost alone, so even if there is a price war, it is still safe.
Tesla is officially launched in the United States, and Hongqi is also officially launched in the United States. In the American media, especially on the Internet, various publicity has been fully launched.
Longteng Group's power on the Internet is very powerful. In this Internet era, online publicity has more advantages than traditional media.
"Hi, everyone, I am Big Mouth George. The new car we are going to test drive today is a very special brand. This is a brand from China. Yes, from China. It is from the same family as the famous Tesla
, he is the red flag of China..."
Big Mouth George is the car editor of a car website. He is very famous in the United States. The most important thing is that Big Mouth George's car reviews are very objective.
"What we are going to test drive today is the beautiful SUV behind me, Hongqi LS, the biggest guy in the Hongqi family. To be honest, when I first saw him, I already liked this big guy, just by his appearance.
Isn’t it very beautiful…”
A black car body was parked next to Big Mouth George. The black car body looked very domineering.
The angular body makes the whole car full of masculinity. At first glance, the whole car is full of the roughness of American cars.
But if you look carefully at the workmanship of the car, it is very exquisite. The perfect use of various lines makes this car very handsome in appearance.
"When I saw it for the first time, I couldn't believe it was a car from China. But now it's in front of us. The most important thing is that this car is a pure electric car. Yes,
You heard it right, this big guy is a pure electric vehicle. The comprehensive cruising range is as high as 700 kilometers..."
Big Mouth George began to introduce this car. It is very large in size, a little bigger than Chevrolet's Suburban.
Big Mouth George's car is an eight-seater version. This car can also be selected as a seven-seater or nine-seater model, which is enough for a large family to travel.
"Now, let's drive this big thing out and try it."
Big Mouth George got into the car directly, opened the door and the smart pedal stretched out, and when he got in the car, the pedal automatically retracted.
"The seats are very comfortable, and the wrapping is also very comfortable. Look at the interior, wow, it's so beautiful."
Big Mouth George likes the interior of Hongqi very much. It inherits the interior of Tesla and has that luxurious feel.
When comparing it to its competitors, the interior is not on the same level at all.
The long one-piece LCD screen is full of technology and makes the whole car look very luxurious.
"Compared with Hongqi's interior, the Chevrolet Suburban's interior is just a bunch of shit. Why doesn't Chevrolet learn from Hongqi and make such a beautiful interior?"
Big Mouth George couldn't help but complain that the Saber is the best-selling full-size SUV in the United States and is also a direct competitor of the Hongqi LS.
Now comparing the driving, Hongqi's interior is completely superior. When Big Mouth George started the car, the car was very quiet and there was no sound at all.
