News of cooperation negotiations between GM and Tesla was quickly reported by the media.
After this news came out, it caused a huge sensation in the entire automobile market.
General Motors is an American automobile giant, and Tesla is an emerging new energy giant. The impact of cooperation between these two car companies will be great.
The most direct effect is that General Motors' stock has risen. This has made shareholders extremely excited. You must know that General Motors' stock has been falling for a long, long time.
For shareholders, they were already in despair. But now a special plane arrived, and the news caused GM's stock to rise by 4%.
This shows that investors attach great importance to Tesla. This change suddenly stimulated other automobile groups.
Seeing such a reaction, GM Group paid more attention to cooperation.
The Ford Group, as one of the three giants in the United States, is also having a difficult time, even more difficult than General Motors.
Its brands are having a hard time, and the Ford brand's global market share has dropped significantly.
The high-end brand Lincoln is even more tragic. Its sales in the United States are pitiful. GM still has a Cadillac. Although Cadillac is not as good as the top three German brands, its sales are pretty good.
But the Lincoln in Ford's hands became a tragedy. Sales were extremely poor, so this also made Ford difficult.
Now Ford's focus has shifted to other industries. But as an automobile group, its main business is still the automobile business.
The cooperation between General Motors and Tesla has attracted Ford's attention. Ford has been in contact with Tesla's cooperation, but the current progress is not going well.
Tesla doesn’t just cooperate with anyone who wants to. Almost all car brands have applied for cooperation with Tesla.
Including powerful German and Japanese brands, but they were all rejected by Tesla. Tesla has a timely lead in the field of new energy vehicles.
And relying on China's huge market, it quickly completed its industrial layout. The huge sales volume promoted Tesla's technology to be updated and upgraded faster.
Especially after the emergence of all-solid-state batteries, Tesla directly confirmed its position as the king in the field of new energy vehicles.
Nowadays, major automobile manufacturers around the world are actually very depressed. Now these brands have also launched some new energy vehicles, but they are all lithium battery vehicles.
Moreover, all the lithium batteries they purchase are purchased from China. As for all-solid-state batteries, they have no news at all.
But Tesla’s cars have already used all-solid-state batteries. The advantages of all-solid-state batteries are clear to everyone.
Lithium battery electric vehicles have a cruising range of 5600 kilometers, which is considered impressive. But all-solid-state batteries can easily extend the cruising range to over 1,000 kilometers.
There is a clearly visible technological gap that cannot be filled in a short period of time by investing in research and development. This technological gap makes them feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
They can also guess Tesla's purpose. The reason why all-solid-state batteries are not popular is because Tesla's current lithium battery models are enough to beat all brands.
Powerful electronic control technology allows Tesla's lithium battery models to have a cruising range of up to 700 kilometers. Looking at models from other companies, most of them have a cruising range of less than 500 kilometers.
Only a very few models have a cruising range of more than 500 kilometers, but not 600 kilometers. As for 700 kilometers, it is still a huge technical problem for major car companies around the world.
Not to mention compared with all-solid-state battery models. Some all-solid-state models have a cruising range of 1,500 kilometers.
In the era of electric vehicles, the length of the cruising range represents the strength of the technology. Everyone has a phobia of battery life for pure electric vehicles.
In addition to battery electronic control technology, Tesla is also in a leading position in fast charging technology. According to their understanding, the new generation of fast charging technology currently being developed by Tesla has achieved a technological breakthrough.
This technology can more than triple the current charging technology. This technology can shorten the charging speed of an electric vehicle with a range of 500 kilometers from the current one hour to twenty minutes.
These technologies have made those auto giants feel desperate. They also want to overtake in corners, but unfortunately Tesla's investment in technology research and development is much more terrible than theirs.
Zhang Fan is an owner who is not short of money. He not only develops all-solid-state batteries, but also graphene batteries, high-voltage flash charging technology, etc.
And it is already at the forefront in these research and development. It is extremely difficult for other groups to compete with Tesla.
What depresses those car companies the most is that their new energy R&D teams have been pitifully poached by Tesla.
Longteng Group's headhunters have been frantically poaching people around the world since Tesla was founded.
The treatment given was very high, and all kinds of methods were used. Money was given to money, beauties were given to beauties, handsome boys were given to handsome boys.
For those who really can't be poached, the Longteng Group tries every means to destroy them. The headhunters of the Longteng Group have a great time using various means to kill people.
Anyway, Longteng Group has more special funds for this. This way of playing the game means that in the field of new energy, other companies cannot compete with Longteng Group at all, and even caused a big generation gap.
"Everyone, according to the latest news, the reason why GM can reach a cooperation with Tesla is because GM is preparing to sell the Hummer brand to Longteng Group for one dollar."
In Ford's conference room, a young man said seriously.
"Does this news have any effect on us? Can we stop GM?"
One shareholder couldn't help but ask.
"No, GM attaches great importance to this cooperation. We can't stop it, but we can see some things from this matter. Let's look at Tesla. It acquired Hongqi in China, Maserati at the same time, and now it has acquired Hummer.
, obviously, Tesla seems to have a great preference for brand acquisitions. We also have a piece of information here..."
The young man said with a smile, and then took out another piece of data.
"In the past two years, Tesla's acquisition team has submitted acquisition applications for many brands."
A piece of intelligence was brought out, and everyone was stunned when they saw it. Tesla had actually applied for acquisitions of so many brands.
There are many brands, and these brands are all familiar to everyone.
"And now we have something in our hands that Tesla might be very interested in."
Then the young man's words aroused everyone's interest. Ford owns several brands. Some brands are losing money now. If Tesla is really interested, then selling to Tesla doesn't matter.
