AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/05 Report--

On the evening of July 4, an ideal ONE owner posted a video on the ideal car APP saying that he had found mercury seeping out of the ideal ONE seat. According to the uploaded video, there are a lot of silver beads rolling in the gap in the seat of its ideal ONE. As long as you press the seat hard, the bead will come out. After the owner removed the seat, he found that traces were found in the seat support gap, plate, and seat leather seats. Then, after the owner collected the silver beads and put them on the ground, he said, "the amount of mercury is actually more than that in 10 thermometers."

Netizens also have different views on this incident. Some netizens said, "if it is really mercury, we should call the police, the problem may not be so simple." some netizens think that "the mercury of the mercury thermometer can be volatilized in eight hours, there are so many in the video, and the vehicle has been used for so long. If it is the mercury in the car when it left the factory, the owner of the car will have been poisoned to death" and "it will not be evaporated (evaporated)." What can still be collected is not just put? ".

The incident also seemed to infuriate senior executives. Ideal car CEO Li wanted to say on Weibo: "people and media who spread rumors that we use mercury, wish you have mercury in your blood and fill your brains with mercury!"

As for Li Xiang's remarks on this event, some netizens thought, "if there is a problem in the enterprise, it should be solved by legal means." When a big boss is cursing here, it's really you. "Li wants to have character, but it's not right to scold like this directly as a public figure."... Then Li wanted to delete the Weibo quickly.

After deleting it, Li wanted to post Weibo again: "even a video of planting mercury poisoned can be filmed and spread on a large scale. It's really amazing. Who's doing it?" In addition, Li Xiang also retweeted the report that "tourist founder Lynch died of multiple toxins." Li wanted to point out, "the emergence of such a large amount of mercury (mercury) is likely to be an act of poisoning. Mercury is not milk and beverages. It is not something to play with casually, let alone buy it casually."

In response to this incident, ideal Automobile officials responded at noon today: "recently, we attach great importance to the discovery of suspected mercury in a user's vehicle seat and have launched a comprehensive investigation as soon as possible. Ideal ONE does not use mercury (commonly known as mercury) in product design, raw material selection, manufacturing, transportation and delivery, and meets the requirements of harmful substances such as Automotive prohibited substances (GB/T 30512-2014) and EU ELV. Please rest assured to use. "

In the evening, the ideal car official Weibo said: "ideal ONE in product design, raw material selection, manufacturing, transportation and delivery, will not and do not need to use mercury." The suspected "mercury" substance entered the car for external reasons, and we will cooperate with the police and the car owner to investigate and collect evidence. "

However, the Weibo was deleted and reposted shortly after its release: "all the parts, production, manufacturing and other aspects of the ideal car, the use and purchase of mercury (mercury) is zero. To build a smart electric car, the ideal car will not be used, and there is no need to use mercury. If mercury is found in the car, it must be caused by external behavior. Mercury is volatile, and users can see that liquid mercury must be left over in a relatively short period of time. At the same time, it is also highly toxic, either the use of external items containing mercury is damaged or spilled, or there is a criminal suspicion of external poisoning. If the possibility of poisoning cannot be ruled out, car owners are advised to report to the police for handling. "

According to Baidu, mercury, also known as mercury, is a chemical heavy metal. At room temperature and pressure, it usually maintains a liquid state, because of its silver-white shiny appearance, it is praised as "silver bead". Mercury is chemically stable and does not react with acids and bases, but it is easy to evaporate and release chronic highly toxic gases during evaporation. If people are exposed to mercury vapor for a long time, or are exposed to mercury, it can easily lead to mercury poisoning.

The national compulsory standard of Automotive prohibited substances (GBT 30512-2014) stipulates that the content of mercury must not exceed 0.1% of the mass percentage. According to professionals, mercury is generally found in interior decoration in the form of a mixture, especially in seats, grips, dashboards and enamelled materials. Mercury in the car is often seen when the thermometer is broken, but the mercury in the video is oozing from the inside of the seat and needs to be carefully checked.

In view of this incident, the ideal car said that the use and purchase of mercury (mercury) was zero in the production and delivery of the vehicle, and suspected of external poisoning, so the car owner was advised to report it to the police. According to netizens, the car owner picked up the car in April, and mercury is so volatile that it is impossible to stay in a liquid state for so long. In addition, with regard to Li Xiang's remarks, some netizens think that even if it has nothing to do with the brand, as the leader of a car company, he should not say those words so bluntly before the matter is clear.

This incident has had a big impact on the ideal reputation, and Li's relatively radical remarks are actually understandable. As for where the mercury in the car comes from, we will continue to pay attention to it.
