AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/12 Report--
Ideal car, a new car-building enterprise founded by Li Xiang, officially produced ideal ONE in Changzhou base on November 20 after four years, and completed the delivery of the first car on December 4. The first car owner is race car driver Han Han. As of December 12, ideal cars have been delivered one after another in various places, but there have been a number of incidents during the period, including the bank's cessation of lending to ideal ONE loan users and the vehicle instrument panel failure alarm.
In response to users reporting vehicle instrument panel fault alarms, ideal Automobile officially issued a statement on December 12, saying that individual vehicles will have emission system failures, parking system failures, body stability system failures and other faults, which are false positives in vehicle diagnosis and will be solved in subsequent software upgrades, and such problems will not affect the driving and safety of vehicles.
One of the users' vehicle instrument screen showed an alarm of "emission system failure". The ideal car said that the after-sales service personnel arrived at the user's location to help the user solve the vehicle alarm and passed the parts inspection on the spot. it is finally confirmed as the false alarm caused by the self-diagnosis mechanism of the three-way valve in the air-conditioning system.
Ideal Motors apologized for the problems with similar software systems and said it would upgrade its software through OTA next week to solve the problem of false alarms.
In addition, during the period when the car was just opened for delivery to users, Citic Bank decided to stop lending to ideal ONE loan users, resulting in some car owners unable to apply for loans and unable to pick up their cars.
At present, ideal car offers two solutions. Among them, for the Citic Bank loan owners who have paid the down payment, ideal Automobile will provide its own financial channel-Jiangsu Zhihang Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. to handle loans for the car owners, the car owners only need to go to the delivery center to sign a new financial lease agreement to pick up the car. In addition, ideal car can help car owners modify other cooperative financial channels or change it to full-model car purchase. If the changed financial channel can not meet the needs of users, you can choose to return the car free of charge.
Officials did not give a reason why Citic Bank stopped lending to ideal ONE loan users. Ideal car CEO Li wants to say, "Sorry to the car owners." Or our own strength is not strong enough, so that users are also bullied by the bank. Sorry, sorry, sorry. We are still very weak and there will be a lot of problems, but we have only one goal: to help users solve problems unconditionally and solve problems as quickly as possible. It took a day to settle this matter. I'm really sorry. "

Ideal Automobile obtains the production qualification through the acquisition of Lifan passenger cars, and the self-built factory is located in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. In August 2019, ideal Motor announced the completion of $530 million in round C financing, with nearly $300m invested by Wang Xing, founder of Meituan, and nearly $100m invested by Li Xiang, which valued the ideal car at about $2.93 billion. So far, the cumulative financing amount of ideal car has reached 1.575 billion US dollars.
Ideal ONE positioning in large SUV, only one configuration model is launched, and the price is 328000 yuan after subsidy. Ideal car claims "urban electricity, long-distance fuel, pure electric drive", intelligent electric car without mileage anxiety. The ideal ONE uses incremental hybrid technology, which can recharge and burn gasoline. the new car is equipped with a 1.2T three-cylinder extended range engine provided by Dongan Power. The engine does not directly drive the vehicle, but the fuel consumed is only used for power generation to replenish the battery. The car is also equipped with 40.5kWh ternary lithium battery pack, which has a battery life of up to 180km. Pure electric drive with 45L fuel tank, ideal ONE comprehensive mileage is 800km. In terms of power, the car uses dual-motor four-wheel drive, the maximum output of the system is 326 horsepower, the maximum torque is 530 Nm, and the acceleration of 0-100 km / h is about 6.5 seconds.

At present, ideal car has opened retail centers and delivery and maintenance centers in 13 cities.
Earlier, Li wanted to respond to the ideal impact of the negative news, saying that the ideal target market is this class of fuel vehicles. From the technical route and market choice, we do not think there is any competitive relationship with Xilai. It is worth noting that Li Xiang is one of the shareholders of Xilai Motor.
When the new power of car building first started mass production and delivery, what worried consumers most was the possibility of immature technology and products. For example, the power system failure and spontaneous combustion problems occurred in the initial delivery of Ulai, which were gradually solved through upgrade and recall. Just a few days after delivery, the ideal ONE appeared a fault alarm, although the official said that it does not affect the use, but it has been explained that there is bug in the vehicle system, which will be a big test for the vehicle quality stability and system stability.
