AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/28 Report--

In the past, consumers paid attention to engines, interiors, space, control, fuel consumption, etc., but now consumers buying a car is more like buying another digital product. The fluency of software in the car, the upgrade of the car machine system, and what "cool techs" is matched on the car have become the focus of buying a car, and Xiao Guo is such a person.

In August last year, Xiaoguo bought a zero-running S01 for more than 130000. Xiao Guo bought this car because he valued some of the "cool techs" of the car, such as the low-speed follow in the publicity poster (in the low-speed state, keep the distance from the car according to the set distance and follow the car in front. Match the driving state of the car in front), lane keeping (if the lane deviates from the line when no human steering is involved, the system can press the line to alarm and automatically adjust the steering of the vehicle. Keep driving in the lane) and other functions.

Guo said that these functions are needed for urban transportation and can be seen during publicity, but these functions (circling the red line) have not been experienced yet. Guo asked the relevant staff, who said that these functions are still being tested and the exact time of launch is uncertain.

Guo said that cars are consumables, these functions have not been online and they can not wait forever. Now I want to know when these functions will be launched.

The reporter followed Guo to the 4S store where he bought the car at that time. The promotional videos in the store still introduced these "cool techs". Guo could not find the salesperson at the time in the store, and the manager could not get through. Subsequently, the reporter also contacted zero-running car customer service, customer service staff said that these functions will be achieved through OTA upgrades in the later stage, but now for security and stability considerations, these functions are still in the testing process. As for when it will be online, the customer service staff is also unable to give the exact time.

Why are these features not yet online, but can be recommended to customers as a bright spot for new cars? Customer service staff said that these functions can be achieved in the later stage, mainly because there is no accurate time to launch.

Guo said that if this is the case, I hope the car can be returned. Customer service staff said that on the question of whether the car can be returned, the relevant staff can be arranged to consult with the customer, and the launch time of these functions will also be suggested to the superior to give the customer a satisfactory answer as soon as possible. Guo said that he is willing to consult first and then make plans.

Zero running car is a member of the new power of car building. Data show that Zero Automobile, founded in December 2015, is a new energy vehicle company focusing on the research, design, production and sales of new energy vehicles and auto parts and accessories. In January 2019, Zero S01, the first production model of Zero Motor, was officially put on the market. It launched four models with a subsidized guidance price of 10.99-149900 yuan and positioned as a small pure electric sedan. The car is equipped with permanent magnet engine, the maximum power is 125kw, the maximum torque is 250N ·m, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 6.9s. Two mileage versions are available for the vehicle, 300km and 380km.

Buying a zero-running car values the "cool techs", but after buying the car, I found that these features have not yet been launched, and the specific launch time is still unknown. Netizens commented that "I am doing it, progress 0%" and "my car can go to Mars." it's completely achievable, that is, you don't know the time, "as long as you have time, etc.", and some netizens said, "will false propaganda be involved? return one for three?"

At present, the new car-building forces are indeed more advanced than traditional car companies in the appearance of new cars, car-machine systems, and so-called "high-tech", which has also become the selling point for the new car-building forces to promote new cars. However, these features look fresh, but they are actually quite chick, such as the transparent A-pillar of Nezha U, the intelligent summoning of Model 3 and the face / vein unlocking of zero run S01, which are all subject to certain restrictions, and some accidents are likely to occur if they are not used properly. In other words, will you choose a car because of cool techs?
