Regarding the company's development, Zhang Fan now only listens to reports from time to time. There is no need for Zhang Fan to intervene in the specific direction of the company.
However, Zhang Fan is still very happy that Tesla can acquire Maserati. After all, where is the brand value of Maserati?
Although the price is a bit expensive, the Maserati brand is worth the money. Tesla is also confident that Maserati can turn a profit and make more money for Tesla.
Against Maserati, Tesla once again used its shameless entanglement and universal shell-changing technique, which Tesla has already mastered.
Tesla's shell-changing technology is so cool. This is the advantage of electric vehicles. The mechanism is much simpler than traditional fuel vehicles.
There is no engine or gearbox, so changing the shell is much simpler. Unlike a fuel vehicle, even if you change the shell, you have to consider many issues.
After all, the price of high-end cars and low-end cars cannot be the same, right? You can use a high-end engine for a high-end car, but if you use such a good engine for a low-end car, the cost will naturally be too high.
Therefore, even replacing the shell of a traditional fuel vehicle is not that easy. There are too many issues that need to be considered.
But electric cars are different, especially Tesla. Changing the shell doesn't need to be so troublesome at all. The chassis is figured out, and the battery, motor, etc. can also be replaced easily.
The difference between high-end cars and low-end cars is nothing more than better materials, better use of accessories, and more batteries.
Just like a person wearing clothes, if you change your clothes, you will look completely different. If you enter Tesla's R&D center, you will see how crazy Tesla engineers are.
These guys have nothing to do, and their favorite thing to do is to change the shell. And they change other brands, such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Lexus, Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Pagani, etc.
Use other people's design elements and incorporate your own design concepts. You also have the luxury of using a wind tunnel to blow it, as if you are working for someone else.
If these cars were driven out, people who didn't know better would have thought they were new models of certain brands. In fact, they were the work of these engineers who had nothing to do.
Especially those in the design institute, they really want Tesla to buy all the brands so that they can have fun with it.
Otherwise, it would be too simple to just design your own cars. Besides, Tesla has no plans to create a new brand in the short term.
When Tesla internally revealed that it was preparing to acquire Maserati, these crazy designers and engineers had already started working on their own.
The shell-changing mode is directly turned on, and it is used for the whole series of products. Not only cars, but also urban off-road vehicles, and even hard-core off-road vehicles are used.
There is also a sports car, which directly uses the current supercar's territory and incorporates Maserati's design elements to design an electric supercar belonging to Maserati.
"Chairman, look, they have all completed the replacement of their shells. And their performance is much better than Porsche's."
When Zhang Fan arrived at the R&D center, the person in charge said proudly. Looking at these shell-changing cars, Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel happy.
"You guys, Maserati's R&D team hasn't even arrived yet. You've already finished their work."
Zhang Fan's words made everyone laugh. These people looked down upon Maserati's R&D team at all.
After all, Maserati's R&D team mainly develops fuel vehicles. They are not even apprentices in the field of new energy.
As for the design team, they look down upon it. Looking at the appearance of Maserati's models over the years, they are basically fine-tuning improvements.
So for that R&D team, Tesla's opinion is to fire them if they can. Now those people are also worried. There are only two ways in front of them, either to be fired or to come to China.
After all, Maserati will not have an R&D center in Italy in the future. Judging from the current response, most people will choose to stay in Italy and find jobs again.
Looking at the several Maseratis with new skins in front of him, Zhang Fan also liked it very much. It is obvious that Tesla's design team has mastered the essence of Maserati.
The new car not only retains the iconic features of Maserati, but also incorporates new things into it.
This kind of integration makes the replaced Maserati full of elegance and modernity. In fact, the change in appearance is not earth-shaking, but the processing of many details makes these cars look more avant-garde.
Zhang Fan opened the President and sat in. The new President was built using the base model of MODEL 9.
Compared with the previous generation president, the new president is larger.
The space has become larger, and the interior is different from Tesla. In the design of the Quattroporte interior, some traditional concepts are retained.
It looks elegant but not eye-catching, and the materials used are very particular. It looks very high-end at first glance, the seats are very comfortable to sit on, and the atmosphere of the entire space is created to be very high-end.
The instrument panel has also been replaced with a full LCD instrument panel, and the human-computer exchange system is still Tesla's, which is very easy to use.
Zhang Fan started the car directly and drove it to the test track for a test drive. Compared with Tesla, the tuning of this car is more sporty.
After all, Maserati's concept is sports cars. The Quattroporte is even known as a four-door sports car, which is also the essence of Maserati.
Therefore, this car has been tuned to be very sporty, and the joystick is excellent. It has a clear road feel, and is very comfortable despite being such a big car.
Although this kind of adjustment will sacrifice the comfort of the rear seat, it is also the essence of Maserati.
Someone once said that Maserati buyers prefer driving rather than riding in cars. Loyal fans of this brand also like this sense of sportiness.
This sense of movement is also something Maserati must maintain, and now Tesla researchers have achieved it.
Although it is the same chassis, the same motor, and the same battery, the tuning is different, and the results obtained are completely different.
Tesla gives people a comfortable, sci-fi feeling. Although the driving experience is good, the driving feeling is very comfortable and comfortable.
Even if you drive vigorously, it will give you this feeling. But this Quattroporte is different. This Quattroporte feels like a fierce horse, with power at your fingertips.
In terms of power, the advantages of electric vehicles are fully demonstrated. Driven by the high-power electric motor, the President can accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers in 2.4 seconds.
This acceleration of 100 kilometers is very crazy. When driving the Quattroporte on the street, if you encounter a Ferrari, you won't be afraid.
