Xu Jiayin encourages employees to participate in Hengchi 5 sales: Hengda property personnel place orders out of their own pockets for car sales

  On August 1, Hengchi 5, the first model of Hengchi Automobile, officially opened Dading: that is, customers who have paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan in the pre-sale stage can be converted into "Dading" customers who pay 9,000 yuan. The first 10,000 "Dading" customers enjoy a car purchase discount of 10,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan.

  Hengda sells cars, how is the effect? According to Liu Yongzhuo, president of Hengchi Automobile, the market response of Hengchi 5 is very good, "better than expected, Hengchi’s big sale is a foregone conclusion".

  On July 29, China Evergrande announced that since the pre-sale began on July 6, as of the announcement date, the cumulative pre-sale orders of Hengchi 5 exceeded 37,000 units.

  Everything looks so beautiful, really?

  According to the Financial Union News Agency, on July 11, Evergrande Group organized a meeting of executives related to the property sector and the automotive sector. Hengda Chairperson Xu Jiayin encouraged employees to actively participate in Hengchi 5 sales at the meeting

  It is reported that on the same day, Hengda Property also issued a sales assessment task for Hengchi 5.

  After receiving the task, the property staff have turned into car sales, and the Times financial reporter found that many Hengda community property center doors are posted with Hengchi 5 advertisements. Some staff said that in order to complete the task, they booked an order for 1,000 yuan from their own pockets, and booked 2-4 orders at the same time

  So it seems that the official announcement of the 37,000 orders, there is indeed a lot of water.

  As the first product of Hengchi Automobile, Hengchi has opened pre-sale 5 days ago, the price is 179,000 yuan, and it was once called "the best pure electric SUV within 300,000" by the president of Hengchi.

  Due to the well-known situation, Hengchi sold cars and pioneered a "notarized" car purchase model , the pre-sale deposit, subscription funds and the balance are all paid to the special account established by Tianjin Jinbin Notary Office, and are subject to the supervision of the Notary Office.

  But now, ordinary consumers are still skeptical about this car. As for how many units of Hengchi 5 have been sold, I am afraid that only Hengchi will know.

Pick up the car and drive 1073 kilometers in three days: 34 questions to tell you what the Xiaomi SU7 is like

The Xiaomi Mi SU7 is the most talked-about car this year.

It just so happened that we also ordered a founding version of the MAX top model and picked an ice berry…

Ah no, the color of Xiaguang purple, and it has been picked up on April 4th, and it is also the first batch of car owners in Hangzhou.

Before picking up the car, we asked everyone what they wanted to know about it.

It can be seen that everyone really cares about this car, collecting nearly 100 questions in one night, and then we sifted through these questions and aggregated them into 34 key questions.

These days, we are on vacation, with several waves of people taking turns to test drive, shuttling through the streets and alleys of Hangzhou, and even going to Shanghai, working until 3 am to run out of power.

In such a high-intensity test drive, we conducted in-depth experience and evaluation of the SU7, and the car has run 1073 kilometers. We also discovered many details that we had not noticed before.

For example, its driving is even more enjoyable than we expected, but its car-machine interaction has not achieved the desired effect because many functions have not yet been implemented.

But overall, we feel that this car is still a good buy.

Therefore, in today’s article, we will not talk about anything else, but will answer the questions that everyone is most concerned about one by one.

Okay, the question-and-answer session begins with the three most asked questions:

1. How about the space in the back row? Will the 1.8-meter seat in the back row be turned up and pushed to the head?

The space in front of the rear legs is okay, but because the seats are too short and the platform is high, the thighs are not supported enough.

As for the head space, our colleague who is nearly 1.8 meters tall sat in it, and it was almost at the top.

We actually measured the flying slope, and the speed of 70 is good, and 80 becomes Super Mario.

2. Test the battery life to see how far it can go.

We started testing on the first night we got the car. From Hangzhou EFC to Shanghai B station headquarters, the air conditioner is 24 ° C, the refrigerator is 2 ° C, and the kinetic energy recovery is soft. The entire road section is about 80% high-speed, 20% urban area, and the high-speed stable speed is between 120-130. There are three people sitting in the car, plus a total of 240 kg of shooting equipment, the outdoor temperature is 11 ° C, and it is raining lightly.

For the SU7 MAX version, we chose 20-inch wheels, and the official CLTC battery life is 750 kilometers.

We went from a full charge to a zero charge, and really, we almost got out of the cart in the middle of the night,The final measured endurance was 462 kilometers.

Hey~ There may be rice noodles or rice black here.

It should be emphasized here,Our battery life test is not for the purpose of running a high battery life, but to fit our habit of often traveling to Shanghai. On the expressway, it is 130, so there is no need to compare with those who run 100 at high speed.

This data is also for your reference. If you are driving in the urban area, it will definitely be no problem to run 500 kilometers.

3. Is Carplay bigger than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class? How about support for Apple’s ecosystem?

Unexpectedly, this function turned out to be a cake.

Carplay is currently unavailable and will have to wait for the OTA.

But you have to ask about the size. The screen of Mercedes-Benz C is 11.9 inches, and Xiaomi’s is 16.1 inches. If the adaptation effect is what Lei Jun showed at the press conference, Xiaomi will definitely be larger.

In addition, the rear row of the SU7 can be controlled by an iPad, which is connected to the vehicle hotspot, and then enters the screen-projecting APP to adjust the air conditioner and seat. However, turning off the air conditioner can only turn off the rear row, and music can also be played at the same time.

However, the iPad does not support PIN point power supply, so it must be plugged in, while the Xiaomi pad can be charged with PIN point.

After finishing the TOP 3 questions, we will answer them in turn from the aspects of the vehicle’s appearance, interior, intelligence, and driving experience.

Let’s talk about the appearance first.

4. Driving into the street, how is the return rate?

No? This is a guaranteed time… Xiaomi SU7.

The return rate is very high. During our live broadcast that night, we were "stopped by the Americans" in Shanghai, and we were even beckoned by a few cars on the highway to see the cars.

Let’s put it this way, driving a big car now may not be more attractive than the SU7.

5. Is the vehicle workmanship good and how is the assembly effect?

Our car is smaller than the various seams on the assembly of the trial car, the rear wing is slightly uneven, and the overall workmanship of the vehicle is at a medium level, which is better than expected. As for the workmanship of the high-mounted brake lights at the back, our car is not so exaggerated…

6. I heard that car paint is not scratch-resistant, is that true?

It feels okay to use it these days, unless you want to scratch it.

By the way, I asked the after-sales service for you. One surface of SU7 refinish is 800, not counting labor costs. How much is your car?

7. Will the electric tailgate pinch your hands? Will bananas and cucumbers be pinch off?

The paper is clamped firmly.

The carrot and banana were both clipped and then bounced away, causing some injuries.

Hands are fine, but don’t try it lightly.

8. Are the front and trunk large?

The front tank is very large, although there is a slope, but in fact it does not affect the loading. The main problem is that the glass water filling hole is on the inside of the rubber strip, and the actual use may flow into the front tank, but there is no drain hole inside. If you are not careful, water will accumulate.

No wonder Ray always said that he could put the fish he caught in front. It turned out that he could raise fish.

There is enough space in the trunk, because it is relatively deep, and there is still room under the cover plate, so you can put some small pieces. However, because the bottom of the trunk is hollow, the load-bearing capacity is only 35kg, so you should be careful when using it.

9. Does the semi-hidden door handle have mechanical buttons? Can the door be opened when the vehicle is powered off?

We specially consulted Xiaomi’s people,As long as the vehicle is powered off, there is only a broken window to enter the car, and there is no mechanical switch on the outside.

And there is a mechanical door opening device inside, which is on the door panel.

Is it necessary to upgrade the 10.21-inch wheels?

The 21-inch wheel hub looks handsome or handsome, and the overall appearance is larger.

But because the vehicle itself uses a 20 Michelin PS EV, high-speed wind noise and tire noise are obvious, and a 21-inch Pirelli P ZERO tire with a tire width of 245/35 (rear tire 265mm) is also more expensive than a PS EV. Unless you are a pure driving enthusiast and are ready to brush the track, there is no need to go.

Let’s take a look at the interior issue again.

11. Does the car smell big, and how are the interior materials and workmanship?

The smell of SU 7 is the smallest among the new energy vehicles I have tried so far. Of course, it may also be because of the founder’s version that the current car has been in the sun for many days.

I think the interior materials are actually not as good as Krypton 001. For example, SU7 under the door panel is a hard plastic, and 001 is a soft coating.

The workmanship is okay, and I didn’t find any big problems. It is the OEM of the founding version on the steering wheel. When playing the direction at a large angle, there are rowers.

The picture above is SU7, and the picture below is 001.

12. A 1/4 threaded interface is reserved on the car. Is it convenient to shoot Vlogs?

There are three 1/4 ports in the front row, one for the left side of the main driver to take a close-up view of the face, one for the middle shot, and one for the rearview mirror in the middle to take a picture of the road conditions and the car. You can arrange any position you want.

If that’s not enough, you can also add a suction cup to the canopy glass, and the SU7 car ecosystem can be considered clear.

But do so many people (like me) really like to photograph their own cars?

13. How does the refrigerator work? Is the Coke cold?

It just so happens that we have a Taiwan M9 and a refrigerator, so let’s make a Horizontal comparison.

We filled two refrigerators with 22 ° C Coke at the same time, and the temperature of the refrigerators was adjusted to the lowest level. After an hour of temperature measurement, the Coke in the Xiaomi SU7 dropped to about 10 ° C, which was 2 ° C lower than the temperature of the refrigerator.

This semiconductor refrigerator is enough to ice a Coke, but we found that using Xiaomi refrigerator is really troublesome.There is no way to open the refrigerator by calling Xiao Ai, so you have to find the buttons in the car machine by yourself, and the temperature control of the refrigerator is also hidden deep.

14. How is the massage strength of the front seat?

Sorry, the SU7 series does not have seat massage.

But this price car, even with a seat massage, is almost interesting to use. If you cut this in exchange for a cheaper car price, then I don’t think it’s a problem.

15. What are the ways to play with various accessories?

Okay, let’s take a look at the intelligence of the car. Xiaomi, as a mobile phone factory, builds cars, and this part has the most problems.

16. How does Mijia ecology work?

In fact, the Mijia APP in the mobile phone got on the bus, and the functions that can be realized in the car are all on the mobile phone. The icon in the car machine is large, which is more convenient to click. Other than that, I didn’t feel too much freshness.

But there is a slot point that there is no "select all" button when importing. Milo’s Mi family in our hardware department has about 90 devices, so we really need to click one by one.

17. Is there a sentinel mode?

Yes, and the viewing angles are rich, and there is no blind spot monitoring for 6 viewing angles. It takes about 2 kWh to open overnight. But because it is parked in the park, there may be more people passing by, which may also affect the power consumption.

18. Is Xiao Ai smooth? Can you let her capture the violation of the car in front? If the mobile phone and the car are not the same Xiaomi account, will calling Xiao Ai respond?

Xiao Ai was very fluent, and his response was also very humanized. This was reflected in the fact that when you called him, it was not a stiff "Hello to the main driver, hello to the co-pilot", sometimes "Hey", and sometimes "What’s wrong".

One night, I felt cold and asked her to turn on the seat to heat it up. She actually said, "It’s open for you, and it will be warm soon." This kind of humanized feedback is an unexpected little surprise. You can also try to explore it. There will definitely be more application scenarios for large models in the future.

As for the violation of the front car, and the demonstration at the press conference can answer what model the front car is, we have to wait for the OTA.

If the mobile phone and the car are not the same account, call Xiao Ai, and both will answer. If it is the same account, our mobile phone will sometimes be lit up after we tried it, but there will be no response in the next step. It is still Xiao Ai of the car and the car that is talking to you.

19. Is intelligent driving far ahead of the world?

At present, Xiaomi has not yet opened urban NOA, only high-speed elevated NOA, the actual experience is much more radical than the world, but also because of the steering ratio or training reasons, the high-speed autonomous lane change is very fast and stable, and it does not follow the car at all. If there is a chance, it will exceed. Depending on personal preference, we think it is very good.

However, this would make people feel less at ease. In comparison, the wise driver of the world was more composed.

20. I want to take a look at the car’s running score.

We would also like to try it, but the current problem is that the Xiaomi car is closed, there is no developer mode, and there are only a few fixed applications in the app store.

After trying various methods, I have not successfully installed Antutu.

At the moment of writing the article, we are still figuring out how to install it. When we succeed, we will let you know immediately.

21. Can the car be connected to a Bluetooth headset?

Tried it, didn’t work.

22. When there is no network in the underground parking lot, can the car still be used?

No way.After being disconnected from the Internet, it is mentally retarded.

23. Is the black edge of the screen big? Can the car play 3A? Can you say "Yuan God, start!"?

The black edge is okay, but this car is not a complete game at present. There are strategies like "Return to the Future 1999" and "Kingdom Guard Army", as well as RPGs like "Crystal Nucleus", but why do you want to play games on the car? Don’t you have a mobile phone? (dog head)

24. The sound effect is good, how are you ok?

The sound is quite ordinary, the sound is rubbed together, and there is a lack of layering. I have tried several modes of the sound field, and I feel almost interesting.

For the "are you ok" that everyone was looking forward to, of course Xiaomi also hid an Easter egg. You said to Xiao Ai, "I want to hear Lei Jun’s voice", and it came.

25. Ask Xiao Ai to open the airbag, will it be successful?

Xiao Ai is ignoring you at all…?

After talking about so many static experiences, of course, there are also many friends who are very concerned about how the car drives. Let’s talk about the driving experience of the SU7 again.

26. Many professional drivers say that the driving experience is unique. Acceleration, drift, front and rear power distribution, and chassis tuning are very powerful. I want to see the actual measurement.

In terms of the texture of the chassis alone, it is unbeatable at this price. The whole is very sporty, and it has a strong floor absorption when opened. The filter shock is advanced enough, which is the kind of performance that always gives you feedback on the road, but all the excess rare vibrations are filtered out. Colleagues in the editorial department are full of praise for this chassis.

And under this chassis, the SU7’s brakes are not good enough, the front section is more sensitive, but it is not the kind of linear braking performance, you can feel the empty position when you step on it. Such a good chassis should be equipped with a better brake.

Then, the steering of the SU7 is very precise, the steering ratio is small, and there is almost no empty position. But I think the steering damping of the sports mode can be a little larger.

We also tried drifting. Although the front and rear power distribution of this car can be adjusted steplessly, it is difficult to find the critical point of drifting because the tire grip is too strong and the power is fierce.

27. How about NVH? Will the highway be noisy?

It was not particularly good. At 90 per hour, the highest noise in the car would reach 70 dB, but it was not at an unacceptable level. At this speed, the voice in the car could still be heard clearly.

28. Are there any restrictions on track mode? If a novice driver drives sports or track mode on the street, is there a risk of losing control?

The track mode is about this master mode. There are many adjustable items, not only can you adjust the front and rear power, but also the kinetic energy recovery of the front and rear motors can be adjusted separately, and the anti-skid can also be turned off completely.

We very much do not recommend that novices go to the street to try the master mode. SU7 steering ratio is small and the horsepower is large. If there is no anti-skid, it will be very easy to lose control if the operation is not good.

29. How does it feel to cross the pit and pass the speed bump? Will the chassis be scratched in the lower basement?

One word, cool. The chassis is very neat after a big pit, the body does not collapse, and it is very tough after a small pit, and the filter shock is just right.

Generally, it is not possible to scrape the chassis in the basement, but when you come up, don’t set the suspension to the lowest level, or you will be like me…

30. What is the level of suspension? Is it necessary to choose?

This problem is like buying a Xiaomi phone. Xiaomi has always been the most cost-effective. If you have the budget, you can choose it or not.

Our top version with max, it can be said that Xiaomi’s air suspension is very good. Although it is a single-cavity air suspension, it can still firmly support the body during intense driving. When crossing big ditches and major hurdles, the rebound is very fast, and the overall tuning will not feel stiff, but very resilient.

And, buddy, how can you lie low if you don’t buy an empty suspension? This is the Tayc Xiaomi SU7.

However, we have booked a test drive 215,900 low-end version, and the comparison will be clearer.

In addition to the car itself, there are also people who are curious about the issue of buying a car.

31. How much is vehicle insurance?

There are three insurance institutions in the delivery center in Hangzhou, and the prices are all between 8,000 and 9,400 yuan. The company is 8,200, and the individual is more than 9,000.

Among them, there is a new new energy insurance item that can be mentioned, such as the failure of the external power grid, 140 yuan. It mainly guarantees that spontaneous combustion caused by the problem of the external power grid can be compensated. There is also tire insurance, about 100 yuan. If four tires are damaged or blown, they can be replaced with tires of the same model, size and brand. Another is that medical insurance external drugs are insurance for drugs that are not covered by medical insurance after an accident among the three.

Everyone considered the tire suggestion carefully, and the other two suggestions were ticked, and there was not much money.

32. The family is choosing a car. When my parents hear about Xiaomi, they don’t consider it. They say that the quality of a mobile phone manufacturer’s car is definitely not as good as that of an old car company. How can I convince my family to choose Xiaomi SU7?

It’s very simple, whoever pays will listen to whom.

33. If there is no delivery center in the city where you are located, what about the maintenance at the back? When buying a used car, is there a difference in the warranty?

At present, if you don’t have a delivery center in your city, you can only go to a place with a delivery center for maintenance. For example, Jinhua doesn’t have it, so you can only come to Hangzhou for maintenance. Xiaomi’s official answer is that maintenance centers in multiple cities are being opened as soon as possible, and the coastal area should open faster.

Finally, let’s talk about a problem that my friends are very concerned about.

34. Why didn’t you choose 925 for your founding edition number?

The source of 9.25 was on that day, we pigeon friends, and there is no daily push. So if you choose No. 925, there will be no content in this issue…

Okay, here are the answers to our questions about this Xiaomi SU7.

Due to various reasons, there are still some questions raised by everyone that we have not had time to evaluate. For example, how is the sun protection ability of SU7? It is rainy in Hangzhou these days, and the temperature is not high, so conditions do not allow it.

In addition, there are some functions like city NOA that need to be updated by the manufacturer.

Editor in charge: Q above

Avita competes at SEV track in crossover fusion

On December 20, one year and one month after the launch of the Avita brand, the first batch of production cars of the Avita 11 and 011 were officially rolled off the production line at the Chongqing factory, and the delivery process will officially start at the end of this month.

At the same time, the "SEV" concept that the Avita brand has always emphasized, that is, the smart electric vehicle concept, is expected to further become a new subdivision track with stronger independence in 2023.

Avita CEO Tan Benhong believes that SEV should have three characteristics: new architecture, strong computing and high-voltage charging. For enterprises, the premise of realizing these three characteristics is the research and development and matching of software and hardware that consumes huge resources. At the same time, precise cost control and control of product development efficiency are required to achieve the core goal of fast and good. In addition, the construction of the marketing system is also crucial.

Adhering to the SEV concept, Avita 11 is equipped with an AVATRUST super-sensing system, which can precisely build a 4-layer independent sensing protection system, sense the surrounding environment in an all-round way, and escort the safe driving of the vehicle. At the same time, with the support of the AVATRUTH supercomputing system jointly developed by Avita and Huawei up to 400TOPS, Avita 11 can respond quickly even in the face of sudden scenarios such as "ghost probes".

In addition, under the support of Huawei DriveONE dual-motor four-wheel drive system, Avita 11 can accelerate at a fastest speed of 3.98 seconds, and is equipped with Ningde Times CTP ternary lithium battery pack, providing two battery life versions of 680km and 555km for users to choose from. With the assistance of 240kW high-power charging technology, Avita 11 can increase the effective battery life of 200km after charging for 10 minutes.

In terms of the construction of the marketing system, Avita has established a flexible offline marketing model of direct sales + partners, and has now exceeded the target of 200 stores. It has also successfully settled in the Huawei flagship store in Beijing Yintai Center and the flagship store in Shenzhen Bantian G District, narrowing the distance with consumers.

With the official launch of Avita 11 and 011, the first batch of Avita centers have also been fully opened in Chongqing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Huzhou and other cities, marking the important stage of Avita’s delivery sprint.

At the same time, Avita’s high-voltage fast charging and replenishment network is rapidly improving, and the first customized high-voltage fast charging station jointly built has been put into use in Shanghai. According to the scheduled plan, Avita will build more than 100 customized high-voltage fast charging stations in 19 cities across the country by the end of 2023, creating an extremely fast replenishment experience for users "charging for 10 minutes and replenishing energy for 200 kilometers".

Nowadays, the electric vehicle industry has formed a relatively stable development trend, and most of the existing brands that have entered the stable development stage have more significant personalized advantages, which also poses more difficult and more diverse challenges for newly entered brands such as Avita – how to ensure the comprehensive competitiveness and quality of products while expanding at a high speed? How can we quickly establish the reputation and recognition of the brand? Avita believes that horizontal integration and cross-border cooperation are wise choices.

From the very beginning of the brand’s establishment, Avita has brought together current players in the automotive manufacturing, ICT and energy fields, pioneered the CHN cooperation model, and jointly created a new generation of intelligent electric vehicle technology platform CHN. In the process of vehicle design and manufacturing assembly, Avita has received the support of Changan Group, opening a unique development path. In terms of intelligent technology and energy assembly, Avita has coordinated with Huawei and Ningde Times to achieve horizontal integration of resources in different fields.

Perhaps, horizontal integration and cross-border cooperation will be a trend in the automotive industry in the future stage. Avita will play a pioneering and innovative role for a long time by leveraging its first-mover advantage and leveraging the strength of three enterprises in Changan, Huawei and Ningde era. Continue to explore and move forward. "The automotive industry is destined to be a marathon without end. On this track, Avita will remain curious, explore the unknown and embrace change," said Tan Benhong, chairperson and CEO of Avita Technology.

While products such as the Avita 11 are currently positioned within the "premium electric vehicle" category, as the SEV segment continues to grow, more smart electric vehicles will target new tracks.

In this way, Avita will still face major challenges in the future. After the SEV track is formed, more and more smart electric vehicle companies will gradually launch a large number of models with similar categories and similar performance by virtue of their respective advantages in the capital markets or production and manufacturing fields, and establish an unprecedented market ecology in the new benign competition landscape. This is good news for consumers with more and more options, and also puts forward higher requirements for Avita and other brands.

It’s not a good idea.Conclusion:

The new energy of the automotive industry has become the future development trend. With the comprehensive intelligence and networking of travel modes, the new generation of passenger cars will also have the characteristics of platform, high computing power, and high-voltage charging. This will enable a rapid transition to SEV, or intelligent electric vehicles, providing consumers with a highly scalable, vehicle-wide upgrade, high intelligence, and strong battery life travel experience.

Xiaomi SU7 will launch more color matching in the second half of the year.

Blue Whale News learned from reliable sources that Xiaomi SU7 will launch more color matching in the second half of the year, but the specific color has not yet been determined.

Image source: Xiaomi Auto official website screenshot

On April 18th, according to Blue Whale News, it was learned from reliable sources that Xiaomi SU7 will launch more color schemes in the second half of the year, but the specific colors have not been determined. It is reported that Xiaomi SU7 currently has 9 colors, of which 3 colors are free, and the other 6 colors need to spend 7000 yuan more. It is also worth mentioning that Blue Whale News has previously reported exclusively that Xiaomi will launch SUV models at the end of the year. In this regard, in the first live broadcast on April 18, Lei Jun said that it was "inconvenient to disclose" whether Xiaomi Automobile would launch SUV models and the extremely cost-effective models of around 100,000, but he made it clear that off-road models were not within the consideration of Xiaomi Automobile.

Is it a strong car company or an industry trend to pay for unlocking new functions?

  Want the wheel steering angle to be larger, the seat to be heated automatically and the vehicle to be started remotely … … The functions that come with these cars don’t cost extra but can’t be used. Recently, the paid subscription function launched by several car companies has sparked heated discussions. Netizens spit out: Will the accelerator pedal and steering wheel also be paid for subscription in the future? I even questioned that this was arbitrary charges. What do car companies, industries and lawyers think about this?

  Mercedes-Benz remote start-up renewal fee is 898 yuan.

  "The validity period of your remote interconnection service is coming to an end. From now on, the highest discount for remote products is 400 yuan, and you can enjoy the three-year remote engine start with the original price of 1,298 yuan for only 898 yuan … …” Recently, some netizens broke the news that when his vehicle remote start function was about to expire, he received such a "preferential" message from Mercedes-Benz.

  The Beijing Youth Daily reporter noticed that this is not the first time that Mercedes-Benz has been exposed to the function of using vehicle configuration and needs to pay extra. Earlier, a Mercedes-Benz owner also received a short message reminding him that Mercedes-Benz’s brand-new high-tech customized navigation has been launched, and it can be upgraded in a 4S shop. It only takes "1998 yuan" in three years.

  In July, Mercedes-Benz launched the rear-wheel steering payment, and it is understood that the EQS 450++Pioneer version of Mercedes-Benz launched a "paid subscription" project. After paying 4,998 yuan, the owner can enjoy the rear-wheel steering function for one year. The active steering angle of the rear wheel of the vehicle will increase from 4.5 degrees to 10 degrees, and the turning radius will be reduced to 10.9 meters. For eligible models, a three-month free experience will be provided, and the functions that come with the vehicle will cost extra money to use. These operations have to make consumers suspect that they have been "cut with leeks".

  respond

  I will remind you before the three-year free period expires.

  Mercedes-Benz customer service said that the basic service will be free for three years after the remote interconnection service function is activated from the date of car purchase and invoice issuance, otherwise it will not be used, so the owner will receive the corresponding text message. The remote interconnection service has the functions of checking the vehicle status and remotely unlocking. This service is related to the model and configuration of the vehicle, some can be purchased separately, and some can’t.

  As for how to know in advance that you need to pay in order to use this function, the customer service said that in general, the owner is notified by SMS. "The Internet store will send a text message to remind that the service is about to expire. If this function is enabled, there will be a text message reminder when it is about to expire."

  The customer service also told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that it was not clear whether the subsequent charges for this service were stated in the car purchase contract. "This belongs to the sales process." Because you need real-name authentication to activate when you buy a car, it is through the system operation in the dealership, so there will be a reminder of payment when you activate it, which is usually informed by sales.

  She also suggested that car owners go to the store of Mercedes ME APP bound by real-name authentication to check the function and use of the corresponding paid products. In "My Garage", you can see the basic services that the vehicle has been activated, such as the remote start that can be used for three years for free, and you will receive SMS reminders when it is about to expire.

  industry

  A number of car companies test water and pay subscriptions.

  According to public reports, as early as 2016, Tesla proposed software subscription services such as fully automatic driving and seat heating. All ex-factory models have embedded automatic driving hardware, and users can choose whether to turn on this function according to their needs. In 2021, autonomous driving was officially launched with a monthly fee of $199 per month. By the end of the second quarter of 2022, more than 100,000 Tesla owners had used the fully automatic driving test version function in North America. It can be said that Tesla pioneered the mode of hardware embedded+paid activation software.

  According to its financial report, in 2021, Tesla’s services and other businesses, including autonomous driving software, achieved revenue of 3.802 billion US dollars, up 65% year-on-year, accounting for 7.06% of the total revenue. Software payment has gradually become an important part of Tesla’s revenue.

  Many car companies began to reproduce the business model of paid subscription system, and rose from software to hardware.

  BMW has pre-installed hardware in some vehicles when they leave the factory. Recently, it announced the launch of paid subscription services such as seat heating, steering wheel heating, CarPlay and safe assisted driving in countries such as South Korea, which also caused heated discussion. However, BMW’s paid projects currently only exist in overseas markets. It is understood that BMW once launched a project in China that cost money to choose CarPlay and had to subscribe again when it expired, but it ended up being cracked.

  In addition, domestic new car manufacturers Weilai and Tucki have also joined the ranks of offering paid subscriptions. However, at present, consumers generally hold a wait-and-see and even skeptical attitude towards the paid subscription services launched by car companies.

  Which is more cost-effective, paid subscription or single purchase?

  Regarding the problems behind car subscription payment, Chang Yan, who is certified as a well-known car blogger, said in a live broadcast entitled "Peeking into" Car Payment Subscription "that on the one hand, consumers are more accepting of software payment than hardware. For example, the rear wheel steering belongs to the hardware of the car, which is already in the car. If you have to spend money to use it, you will feel unreasonable. On the other hand, the services provided by paid subscriptions are relatively rudimentary and basic, and cannot be differentiated, and consumers will think that car companies are "cutting leeks".

  "In fact, consumers are willing to pay for autonomous driving, and they also bought hardware first. Then pay for the software. For example, Tesla, the self-driving chip actually paid the fee when buying a car. " He suggested that you can calculate an account for the paid function, and whether it is more economical to use it according to the subscription system than to buy it alone. For example, BMW recently launched a paid subscription package for seat heating, and the price is several hundred yuan per month. The buyout function needs 20 thousand yuan and can be used for about 100 months. In most parts of China, the use of the heated seat function means two or three months in winter, and even some areas are hot all the year round and do not need the heating function. If this is calculated, the subscription function may be more cost-effective.

  Chang Yan said that he personally prefers to pay for subscriptions, which can be stopped at any time. Try some functions before you decide whether you need to spend money to subscribe. If you don’t want to subscribe, you can turn it off.

  remind

  Crack hidden dangers of software for free.

  For paid subscriptions, many netizens are worried about whether the price will increase or whether members will have to spend money to become super VIP. Some people even said that in order to get free use, it is completely possible to crack the software.

  Cracking the car has long appeared, including Tesla. Chang Yan introduced that some were hacked and some were broken by some hardware. Although this may bring more playability and performance improvement, it will make the car worthless. Tesla officials will lock these up and no longer provide services and related warranties. Moreover, some cracks are irreversible, which may damage the battery and other hardware of the car, thus affecting the value of the car.

  Chang Yan also said that cars are related to our life safety. If they are cracked by unofficial institutions or third parties, there will be some security risks. If there is a problem and then go to the official repair, it will bring a lot of trouble, not worth the loss. For pricing, I believe the market will have a fair judgment, and with the development of the industry, it will gradually standardize.

  If clearly informed or agreed, it is difficult to identify infringement.

  Liu Bin, a lawyer of Beijing Zhongwen Law Firm, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that from the current industry situation, there are two main ways to consume vehicle hardware: one is optional configuration, and the hardware configuration that consumers want is selected through prior agreement between consumers and manufacturers, and consumers make a one-time payment; The other is to subscribe to services in the form of subscription packages. With the further development of vehicle electronic functions, many car companies have launched such subscription services, such as active rear wheel steering, car entertainment, acceleration package and remote temperature control. Because there are a large number of electronic auxiliary functions in vehicles now, some car owners will not even use these functions after purchasing the vehicles, which can effectively reduce the cost of car purchase for car owners who do not use these functions frequently; For car owners who pay attention to these functions, they can purchase them selectively according to their needs. This subscription method increases consumers’ choice space, but this choice should be based on consumers’ right to know.

  Liu Bin believes that the subscription payment method is an option for the payment method of vehicle hardware. It is difficult to identify the damage to consumers’ right to know on the premise that the dealer clearly informs consumers of this payment method and content or there is a clear agreement in the contract signed by both parties. If we only charge consumers by subscribing to the service, it just changes the way of charging. If there are no unfair price behaviors such as manipulating market prices and raising prices in disguise, it is hard to say that this kind of charging method is arbitrary.

  If the services provided by car companies obviously violate the principle of fairness, it may infringe on consumers’ right to choose independently and fair trade. For example, a car company’s car entertainment service package subscription agreement stipulates: "We can change these terms at any time, change, add or delete the service or the functions contained therein, and also change the charging price of the service." This agreement expands the rights of car companies, exempts major obligations, and is suspected of infringing consumers’ right to fair trade and independent choice. This group/reporter Song Xia

In 2018, the total number of passenger cars in Beijing will be reduced to 100,000, and the proportion will be tilted towards individuals.

  On December 15th, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Communications released the total number and allocation ratio of passenger cars in Beijing in 2018, and announced the revision of the 2017 edition of the Interim Provisions on the Regulation of the Number of Passenger Cars in Beijing. In 2018, the total number of passenger car indicators decreased from 150,000 to 100,000, of which the new energy indicators remained unchanged at 60,000, and the general indicators were reduced from 90,000 to 40,000. Although the index has been reduced, it will be greatly tilted towards individuals, and the number of individual ordinary car indexes will become 38 thousand. The number of new energy indicators will exceed that of ordinary vehicles for the first time. According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Transportation Commission, Beijing must control the total development of passenger cars due to environmental and road resource constraints. While controlling the number of passenger cars, Beijing will make great efforts to accelerate the construction and development of rail transit and continuously increase the supply of public transport infrastructure.

  Individual ordinary car index reduced to 38,000

  Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission that on December 15, 2017, the newly revised Interim Provisions on the Regulation of the Number of Passenger Cars in Beijing and the Notice on the Total Quantity and Allocation Ratio of Passenger Cars in 2018 were announced to the public on the website of Beijing Passenger Car Index Regulation Management Information System, and the Interim Provisions will be implemented on January 15, 2018.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Transportation Commission, in order to implement the goal of "the number of motor vehicles in the city should be controlled within 6.3 million by the end of 2020" in the Traffic Development and Construction Plan of Beijing during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan and the Work Plan for the Implementation of the Beijing Urban Master Plan (2017-2020), the Notice clarifies that the total number of passenger car allocation indicators will be reduced from 150,000 to 100,000 in 2018.

  In 2018, the quotas of general indicators and new energy indicators will be further tilted towards individuals, and the proportion of individual general indicators will increase from 92% in 2017 to 95%, which is 38,000.

  The index of new energy vehicles exceeds that of ordinary vehicles for the first time.

  In 2015, 2016 and 2017, the total number of new passenger cars in Beijing each year was 150,000. Among them, the number of new energy indicators increased from 30,000 in 2015 to 60,000 in 2016 and 2017. With the increase in the proportion of new energy vehicles, the number of indicators of ordinary vehicles has decreased, and the difficulty of winning the lottery has hit record highs.

  In 2018, the new energy indicators will remain unchanged at 60,000, the proportion of individual new energy indicators will increase from 85% to 90% (54,000), and the unit indicators and operating indicators will each account for 5% of the annual quota (3,000 each). This is also the first time that the personal new energy index has exceeded the personal ordinary car index.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that according to the detailed rules for the implementation of the Interim Provisions on the Regulation of the Number of Passenger Cars in Beijing (revised in 2013), the city has implemented a system of quantity regulation and quota management for passenger cars. The specific growth quantity and regulation ratio are determined by the demand situation of passenger cars, road traffic and environmental carrying capacity. In fact, according to the data of the Municipal Traffic Management Bureau, as of November 2017, the number of motor vehicles in the city has reached 5.9 million, which is close to the carrying capacity of traffic and environment.

  The allocation ratio is constantly tilting towards individuals.

  At present, the index applications of individuals and units in Beijing are all in the same pool, but in the past two years, the proportion is constantly tilting towards individuals.

  In 2015, the quota of passenger cars in Beijing was 150,000, including 120,000 ordinary indicators and 30,000 demonstration and application new energy indicators. Among them, the individual quota accounts for 88% of the annual quota, the unit quota accounts for 6% of the annual quota, and the operating passenger car quota accounts for 6% of the annual quota. In 2016, the quota of individual indicators accounted for 90% of the annual quota. In 2017, the quota of individual indicators accounted for 92% of the annual quota. In 2018, the data increased to 95%.

  The validity of indicators is automatically extended to one year.

  At present, the index is valid for 6 months. However, due to various reasons such as the purchase of new cars and the late signing of the index, many citizens report that the index is too short. In the future, the validity period of the index will be adjusted to one year to facilitate the citizens to go through the formalities. According to reports, the extension of the validity period is not only for the newly added configuration indicators, but also for the time limit for applying for updating indicators after the vehicle is transferred out or scrapped and the time limit for buying a car after obtaining the updated indicators. Citizens have a year to make a choice after they get the ordinary index or wait for the new energy index. Citizens who update their vehicles have two years to choose from eliminating the previous car to buying a new one. Indicators that have been held before the official implementation of the new interim provisions and are still within the validity period will be automatically extended.

  Four types of situations will not update the indicators.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that in this new policy, there are four situations in which the indicators are not updated: (1) Reaching the service life (among them, small and micro non-operating passenger cars have no service life limit. The service life of small, micro, medium and large rental passenger cars is 8 years, 10 years and 12 years respectively, and the rental passenger car is 15 years); (2) After repair and adjustment, it still does not meet the relevant requirements of the national standards for motor vehicle safety technology for in-use vehicles; (3) After being repaired and adjusted or adopting control technology, the pollutants or noise discharged into the atmosphere still do not meet the relevant requirements of the national standards for in-use vehicles; (4) Failing to obtain the motor vehicle inspection conformity mark within three consecutive motor vehicle inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period.

  For ordinary citizens, if they fail to obtain the motor vehicle inspection conformity mark within three consecutive motor vehicle inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period, the indicators will not be updated.

  Why is the index of ordinary cars reduced?

  Since Beijing implemented the policy of controlling the number of passenger cars in 2011, the number of passenger cars has increased reasonably and orderly. From January 2011 to the end of November 2017, the number of passenger cars in this city increased by 954,000, and the annual growth rate dropped from 24.3% in 2010 to 2.4%. In the same period, the resident population increased from 19.612 million in 2010 to 22 million in 2017, with an estimated increase of 2.38 million. The traffic index dropped from 6.1 in 2010 to about 5.6 in 2017, and the congestion situation not only did not deteriorate, but also improved.

  At the same time, the index control policy has also promoted the demonstration application of new energy vehicles and promoted the optimization of vehicle energy structure in this city. At present, the city has registered more than 137,800 pure electric passenger cars, ranking first in the country.

  Judging from the current development situation, although the disorderly and rapid growth of passenger cars has been effectively curbed, the continuous growth of motor vehicles still poses great pressure on air quality, traffic operation and urban space.

  On the atmospheric side, with the pollution control of industrial production, coal burning and dust in this city, the proportion of motor vehicle emission pollution in local pollution sources is prominent, becoming the biggest "contributor" of PM2.5

  In terms of traffic operation, from 2010 to 2016, the city’s total highway mileage increased by 0.66% and urban roads by 0.17% annually, while motor vehicles increased by 3.23% annually during the same period, which was much higher than the growth rate of road construction mileage. The carrying capacity of urban road network is still fragile.

  In terms of urban space, the contradiction between supply and demand between the number of motor vehicles and parking spaces is still outstanding. Judging from the distribution of passenger cars, the number of cars between the Second and Third Ring Roads is about 5,500/km2, which is obviously higher than that between the Fifth and Sixth Ring Roads, which is about 700/km2, showing a high-density gathering trend, while the parking contradiction between the old residential area in the central city and the bungalow hutong area is the most prominent, and it is the most difficult to tap the potential. Therefore, it is necessary to take the bearing capacity as a binding condition to further slow down the growth of motor vehicles.

  answer questions

  How to calculate the validity period of indicators?

  Q: Which indicators can be extended?

  A: In August, October and December, 2017, the passenger car configuration indicators obtained by lottery and waiting were extended for 6 months on the original basis.

  If you haven’t applied for updating the index after selling or scrapping the Beijing brand minibus from July 15, 2017 to January 14, 2018, the time limit for applying for updating the index will also be extended by six months on the original basis.

  After the vehicle was stolen and robbed, if the public security organ filed the case after July 15, 2016 (inclusive), and the case has not been recovered for 12 months, and the stolen and robbed state has been registered in the vehicle management system of the public security organ, you can apply for the passenger car index within the next 12 months.

  Q: How to calculate the annual inspection cycle of passenger cars?

  A: Article 16 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China stipulates the inspection period of various motor vehicles, among which the passenger cars are inspected once a year within 5 years; More than 5 years, once every 6 months. Small and micro non-operating passenger cars shall be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years; More than 6 years, the inspection once a year; More than 15 years, once every 6 months.

  Q: Is it impossible to apply for updating indicators as long as the time limit for compulsory scrapping is reached?

  Answer: For vehicles that have reached the national compulsory scrapping standards for motor vehicles, the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of this Municipality will regularly issue the Announcement on the Invalidation of the License Plate, Driving License and Registration Certificate of Motor Vehicles that have not been deregistered according to the national compulsory scrapping standards through official website. Any vehicle whose deregistration date is later than the announcement date will no longer accept the application for updating the indicators. Passenger cars whose motor vehicle license plates have been declared invalid before January 15, 2018 will no longer accept applications for updating indicators if they cancel their registration after January 15, 2018.

  Beijing opens next year.

  Three sections of subway line

  In recent years, while controlling the number of passenger cars, the city has made great efforts to speed up the construction and development of rail transit, constantly increasing the supply of public transport infrastructure, and new lines have been opened and put into operation every year.

  Three new lines will be opened at the end of this year, namely Yanfang Line, Xijiao Line and S1 Line. After the opening of the three new lines, there will be 22 subway lines in this city, and the operating mileage will increase from 574 kilometers to 608.2 kilometers.

  In 2018, the city plans to open three more lines, including the third phase of Line 8 (Zhushikou Station to Wufutang Station, Nanluoguxiang Station to National Art Museum of China Station), the fourth phase of Line 8, and the west extension of Line 6 (Haidian Wuluju Station to Pingguoyuan South Road Station). The operating mileage has increased to more than 630 kilometers.

  At the same time, Beijing will accelerate the construction of more than 300 kilometers of rail transit lines, such as the new airport line, pinggu line, the east extension of Line 7, Line 12, the remaining section of Line 14, Line 16, Line 17, Line 19, CBD line and Yanfang line branch. It is planned to realize 900 kilometers of rail transit by 2020, and the coverage rate of 750 meters in the central city subway station will reach 90%.

  In addition, we will continue to optimize the ground bus network, build a comprehensive and convenient transfer system, grasp the new changes in the rapid development of the subway network and share the economy, and make the green travel environment of "subway+ground bus, bike-sharing and walking" better and better.

  Regulation policy on the number of passenger cars

  Optimization for many times in six years.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned from the passenger car indicator office that since the implementation of the passenger car quantity control policy in 2011, the indicator office has actively listened to the opinions and suggestions of the Municipal People’s Congress, CPPCC members and the general public, and has revised, supplemented and improved the implementation rules several times.

  On December 27, 2011, the implementation rules were revised for the first time. The revised contents mainly include: First, it is clear that the expired unused personal passenger car indicators will be re-incorporated into the lottery pool configuration; The second is to stipulate the validity period of personal configuration index application and streamline the number of lottery pool codes; The third is to allow newly registered enterprises to participate in the lottery to facilitate the development of enterprises; The fourth is to clearly update the application time limit of indicators and strengthen the management of indicators.

  On November 27, 2013, the implementation rules were revised again. The revised contents mainly include: setting the winning rate of individual lottery ladder to alleviate the pressure of "long-term failure"; Increase the index configuration of new energy passenger cars; Solve the problem of applying for indicators after the passenger car is stolen; Cooperate with the municipal court to implement the judicial auction of Beijing brand passenger cars with index transfer, and solve the problem of difficult implementation.

  On January 22, 2016, the advanced rules for the winning rate of the lottery ladder of ordinary passenger cars were further adjusted, and the care for applicants who have been shaken for a long time was increased. Issued the "Notice on Demonstrating and Applying the Relevant Rules for Waiting for the Allocation of New Energy Passenger Cars", and cancelled the lottery of new energy passenger cars.

  This time, in combination with the revision of the Interim Provisions on the Regulation of the Number of Passenger Cars in Beijing, the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Interim Provisions on the Regulation of the Number of Passenger Cars in Beijing have been revised, which will also be announced in the near future and will be implemented simultaneously on January 15, 2018.

  The number of motor vehicles in megacities in the world has gradually increased by zero.

  Xu Kangming, a transportation expert, said in an interview with the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the number of motor vehicles in megacities in the world has gradually increased by zero or even negative growth. For example, the number of motor vehicles in some European cities and Singapore has been zero growth. It can be seen from the new index management method that Beijing has adopted a rational overall policy for motor vehicle development.

  Xu Kangming believes that the motor vehicle development policy may go through four stages, from the past control to the current reduction of the total increase, and will gradually develop to zero growth or even negative growth in the future.
