Officials stressed that the tank APP is the only pre-sale channel, the price is completely transparent, all the products of the tank will be ordered on the APP, there will be no price increase by the dealer, and the brand has strict control over the dealer.

According to the official release, the order for the tank has exceeded 13000 after only 20 minutes of pre-sale, and more than 26000 valid orders have been paid so far. In response, the chief marketing officer of the tank brand said in an interview at the auto show that the 3.0T twin-turbine V6 engine carried by the tank 500 is the ceiling work of Chinese fuel vehicles.

Generally speaking, the pre-sale is hot for car companies, which is undoubtedly worth publicizing, reflecting consumers' pursuit of products to some extent, but the tank brand officially issued an unusual order announcement last night. In the announcement, the tank brand official said: some screenshots of issuing orders have been used to resell orders on the Internet. Through investigation, it is found that there are more than 200 suspected cases of multiple orders in the order system. In this regard, we will focus on follow-up visits and investigations to ensure the interests of normal car buyers. At the same time, upgrade the delivery confirmation process, starting from November 28, for new orders, orders that do not match with the actual consignee and cannot prove the relationship between immediate family members or restricted city license leases will be deemed invalid.

Tank brand official reminder: tank APP is the only channel to place orders, providing official 5-year or 150000 km vehicle warranty, engine gearbox lifetime free warranty and a series of exclusive treatment policies, if you transfer the order or buy from unofficial channels, you will not be able to enjoy the above exclusive treatment. Consumers are asked to make a decision through the official channel of tank APP to avoid losses caused by buying in third-party channels.

According to previous media reports, on a second-hand trading platform, there was a lot of transaction information about the transfer of tank 500. the transfer order will charge an extra fee, and a "transfer fee" ranging from 1000 to 10000 will be charged according to the serial number of the vehicle. Among them, the most popular version is the Black Samurai version, whose price is basically more than 5000 yuan, even reaching the level of 10,000 yuan, mainly because the Black Samurai version belongs to a limited edition. The whole country is limited to 500 units.

In fact, not only the tank 500, but also the tank 300, the first model of the tank brand, has long been rescheduled on a second-hand trading platform. From the point of view of business opportunities, this situation seems to be understandable. After all, why not earn some extra revenue within the scope of the law? However, the situation of scalpers' preemptive booking and rebooking more or less affects car companies, and for consumers, it also increases the chances of safeguarding their rights, and consumers' rights and interests may also be affected.

Of course, looking at the problem from another perspective, the emergence of scalpers in Tank 500 also shows that independent brand products have indeed made a certain development. after all, as a 300000-yuan model, it is not affordable. It is understood that as the second mass production model of the tank brand, the tank 500 is equipped with the 3.0T V6 turbocharged engine + 9AT gearbox independently developed by the Great Wall, with a maximum power of 354hp and a peak torque of 500N ·m, which is the first model under the Great Wall to adopt 3.0T+9AT. Based on the tank platform, the new car uses a non-load-bearing body and is equipped with a TOD time-sharing all-wheel drive system, which ensures the driving safety of the whole vehicle and stronger off-road performance.
