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

A few days ago, Tesla's chip replacement situation was pushed to the forefront of public opinion, one wave after another, a car owner also exposed that the imported Model 3 body nameplate information does not match the real car.

The owner said he bought an imported Model 3 long-range all-wheel drive model E3D5 in June last year. After picking up the car, I found that the information marked on the Model 3 body nameplate is E3DP5, which represents the imported Model 3 Performance high-performance all-wheel drive version, not the car purchased by myself.

According to Tesla's official website, the price of the imported Model 3 long-range all-wheel drive version is 439900 yuan, while the imported Model 3 Performance high-performance all-wheel drive version costs 509900 yuan, and the price difference between the two cars is 70000 yuan.

Do you think the owner took advantage and bought a better performance model at a lower price? in fact, the owner spent the money on the four-wheel drive version of Model 3 to buy only the four-wheel drive version of Model 3. Some information on the car, including the vehicle consistency certificate, body nameplate, motor model, etc., all indicate that this is an all-wheel drive version, but the tire specifications and maximum speed are all four-wheel drive version Model 3 (the four-wheel drive version is 233km/h. All-wheel drive version is 261km/h).

Anyway, I spent the money on the four-wheel drive version of Model 3 to buy a four-wheel drive car, so let's make do with it. But in fact, there will be a lot of trouble in the later use, because the car model and rear motor model show the information of P version Model 3, so the invoice, purchase tax, insurance and so on are all in accordance with the price of the all-drive version, so the car owner has to spend a lot of money. In addition, there will be trouble if it is sold as a second-hand car in the future. the car is a four-wheel-drive version, but the nameplate is a long-drive version, which makes people suspect.

In addition to the above car owner, some car owners also found a similar situation in the imported Model 3 they bought. These car owners also reflected to Tesla that Tesla said he was willing to refund the extra money to the car owner and received the following reply:

In short, the official reply is that there is absolutely no problem with the car produced. The reason for the difference between models and parameters is the performance of advanced production technology, whether the motor of the four-wheel drive version or the long-drive version is the same. There is no direct response to why there are differences in model parameters, which is quite similar to Tesla's response to the chip change incident.

Dissatisfied with Tesla's handling, a number of car owners chose to sue Tesla, accusing Tesla of deception and demanding a return of one to three.

Tesla's situation in the domestic market is very good, and walking well in the Chinese market is Tesla's first step into the global market. However, in 2020, Tesla has been exposed many times to deceive consumers, and car quality problems are also frequently exposed. From Tesla's response, we can also see the pride and prejudice against the Chinese market. If Tesla cannot correctly examine the problems in his own development, even if he has a special halo, it will fade one day.
