At the Tesla headquarters, the staff are busy. Each order makes the staff extremely happy. In the past few days, the number of Tesla MODEL 3 orders has increased significantly.
In the past, the order volume could not increase when it reached more than 2,000 units. However, in the past few days, affected by a series of news, the order volume has increased significantly.
In just two days, the order volume exceeded 20,000 units. This order volume is not a small amount. After all, it will take another year for this car to be mass-produced.
In addition, each car also requires a deposit of 50,000 yuan. Twenty thousand units, that’s one billion. The car will not be launched for a year, but it has received such orders, which is indeed a good result.
These orders also make every Tesla employee very motivated, especially the R&D team, who are even more excited.
Thanks to Zhang Fan's technical information, MODEL 3 is progressing very quickly. Several verification vehicles have now been built, and the verification vehicles are now tested on different projects at professional testing sites every day.
This speed is faster than expected, and this speed makes them very confident in mass production on time.
"Okay, we're all here. Let's have a meeting now."
In the conference room, Zhang Fan called Tesla's top executives and some technical staff into the conference room.
"The first content is the new model of MODEL 3, including the station wagon version and the crossover station wagon..."
Zhang Fan's words made the technicians nod. One car model has multiple styles, which is what all major car companies are doing. In fact, station wagons are also liked by many people in China, but station wagons are too expensive, so many people only
You can choose to give up.
A crossover station wagon is actually a station wagon with a higher ground surface to give the car a stronger passing ability. The crossover station wagon version is similar to an SUV.
Station wagons and crossover station wagons are actually the same car model, and one more model means one more choice.
"In addition to travel models, we also need to develop multiple models to complete our model system. These include medium and large sedans, which compete with models such as the BMW 5 Series. Large flagship models compete with the BMW 7 Series."
"In addition to cars, we also want to establish SUV models, small, medium, large and full-size SUVs..."
Zhang Fan's words inspired everyone to improve all model systems, which is very important for Tesla. After all, if it wants to grow, it must have more models.
"At the same time, we will also increase research on battery technology and fast charging technology. Especially for the research and development of graphene batteries, I will find a way to solve the funding. In the future, more people will join our family. I hope that by then
It’s a pleasure to work with everyone…”
Zhang Fan's words made everyone nod. Now Tesla is actually very powerful. After all, the funds are already quite large, but Zhang Fan invested a large amount of funds in the construction of charging piles and 4S stores, which made Tesla
La's research funding is not too sufficient.
"At the same time, Tesla will set up a special department for commercial vehicles. It will be used to research electric commercial vehicles and establish special logistics vehicles..."
Zhang Fan's words made everyone's eyes widen. The car hadn't even been used yet. The logistics car project had already started. This was too fast.
"As for commercial vehicles, we don't need telecommunications. We have a large domestic sales market. Just the logistics vehicles used by our Longteng Group are a huge volume."
Zhang Fan said with a smile that there is no need to worry about the sales volume of logistics vehicles at the moment. You must know that Longteng Logistics alone requires a large number of logistics vehicles. If this vehicle is successfully developed, the sales volume will definitely be huge in the future.
The first logistics vehicle is positioned as a light truck with a driving range of about 500 kilometers. This vehicle is used for transporting goods between logistics bases and logistics warehouses.
That is to say, short-distance transportation, the transportation mileage generally does not exceed 500 kilometers. In this way, as long as super charging piles are built in each logistics warehouse, the battery life needs of electric trucks can be met.
During the time it takes to load and unload goods, the truck's electricity can be fully charged. In this way, Longteng Logistics can reduce the transportation cost a lot. After all, fuel is much more expensive than gasoline.
Compared with sedans, the market for commercial vehicles is larger. What Tesla has to do now is to occupy the forefront of the industry in the shortest possible time and lead the trend of new energy vehicles.
Cars, trucks, buses, and various special vehicles. Zhang Fan's layout for Tesla is a comprehensive group. His target is not car companies such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi, but large groups such as Daimler and Volvo.
"The second thing is to cancel the research and development of hybrid models. Although hybrids are more easily accepted by the market now, I think there is no need to waste energy."
Zhang Fan announced the second thing, canceling hybrid power. Hybrid power may be more in line with the hearts of current consumers, but it will also waste Tesla's energy and financial resources.
"Chairman, isn't our technology wasted?"
A technician couldn't help but said: You must know that the hybrid technology provided by Zhang Fan is very powerful.
"Who said that? We don't do research and development, but we can jointly develop with other automobile groups."
Zhang Fan's words made everyone look curious.
"I have planned this matter for a long time. You don't have to worry too much. The technology will be developed when it needs to be developed. The team is still here. I will make arrangements for later matters when the time comes."
Zhang Fan's words made everyone nod. Hybrid technology cannot be wasted. Zhang Fan spent a lot of money to redeem such technology, so how could it be wasted.
Just because Tesla cannot use these technologies does not mean that other groups cannot use them. If we use this technology to cooperate with some companies, many companies will offer reasonable prices.
After the meeting dispersed, Tesla was officially on the right track and entering into rapid development. However, this was also the beginning of burning money. The research and development of so many models requires a lot of money to burn.
Fortunately, Longteng Group's current profitability is relatively good, and coupled with cooperation with so many companies, the funds are still relatively abundant.
"You must be tired..."
In the villa, Leng Yuefei came to Zhang Fan and asked with concern. Zhang Fan was also very busy during this period. A Tesla needs to worry about many things. He originally wanted to take a rest, but unexpectedly he became busy again.
"Hey, I have to worry about my life in this life. Fortunately, I don't need to be too busy with Tesla in the future."
Zhang Fan smiled slightly, rested his head on Leng Yuefei's belly, and gently hugged Leng Yuefei's waist.
Leng Yuefei's belly has slowly appeared, and her reaction was quite severe some time ago. Fortunately, Zhang Fan's careful care allowed Leng Yuefei to slowly get over it.
Looking at Zhang Fan's slightly bulging belly, Zhang Fan's face was filled with smiles. Looking at Zhang Fan like this, Leng Yuefei also had a sweet look on her face.
