AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/03 Report--

Compared with the development of fuel vehicles, the development of new energy vehicles is not long-term, so new energy vehicles have been controversial. Recently, foreign media reported that a Tesla owner bought a Tesla car in 2014, which took five years to drive to 1 million kilometers, setting a Guinness World record.

It is understood that the owner, a die-hard fan of Tesla, bought a Tesla Model S P85 in 2014 with a mileage of about 502km. However, it was a test drive and the mileage on the dashboard had reached 30000 kilometers before he bought it.

It seems that in order to prove something, the owner of the car tries his best to brush the mileage of the Tesla every day. In the process of reaching the mileage target of 1 million kilometers, the owner has changed the battery three times, the motor four times, the 12V battery twice, the rear shock absorber once, the front axle once, the touch screen once, and so on. As the car is still under warranty, the actual maintenance cost is 13000 euros (about 100000 yuan).

Of these, the first battery ran 290000 km, the second battery ran 250000 km, and the third battery ran 460000 km so far, and now the battery available capacity is still 86%.

Although the mileage has set a world record, the owner's goal is to bring the Model S to 1 million miles, or about 1.61 million kilometers.

In this way, the owner is an electric car enthusiast and tries to prove that electric cars are the same as fuel vehicles, or even better than some fuel vehicles, some of which are scrapped before they reach this mileage.

However, the driving mileage of 1 million kilometers does not make much sense to some consumers. Even if it is used for daily transportation, many car owners drive less than 100000 kilometers from buying a car to changing cars. In such an operation, it can be said that Tesla or an electric car can travel up to 1 million kilometers, or even open a new milestone for an electric car.

For the development of electric vehicles today, we should pay more attention to the real needs of consumers, such as the cost of changing batteries, the level or higher of electric energy can not reach the level of fuel vehicles, and whether the charging time can be shorter and save more time. There are also "spontaneous combustion" and other problems, if these problems can not be solved, electric vehicles will never be accepted by consumers.

And the behavior of car owners is also praiseworthy, after all, any product will seek improvement through experiments and breaking through the limit, so that new energy vehicles become more and more mature.
