AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)02/19 Report--

A few days ago, a sharp bend ramp in Shimen County, Changde City, Hunan Province, has become an online celebrity punching point for many popular cars, and the ramp also has a domineering name-"Chengfopo". There is also a sharp turn close to 180 degrees on the slope, which will become slippery and difficult to walk if it rains. However, this has become a rare challenge venue in the eyes of cross-country enthusiasts. Since October last year, car owners have continued to drive their cars to "Chengfopo" to challenge their limits, especially during the Spring Festival, some car owners have driven thousands of miles to challenge here, which is even more lively than going to the market. Changan CS75, Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz Big G, Mitsubishi Pajero and other models have come, but the painting style has changed recently, from Model 3 to Lailai ES6, from Lantu FREE to ideal ONE. This has become a cross-country site for new energy vehicles. However, after all, new energy vehicles are no better than off-road vehicles, such as the ideal ONE, which has an accident when climbing a hill, which has caused a heated discussion on the Internet.

A few days ago, a video of the ideal ONE climbing the "Buddha slope" was posted on the Internet, saying that the ideal ONE did not go well when climbing the hill, and the wheel skidded crazily before reaching the turn and could not rush up. After a short break, the ideal ONE tried to climb again. With the owner's foot on the throttle, the rear axle of the vehicle made a "bared" metal gear crash, and then a large pool of brown liquid flowed out of the rear axle of the vehicle.

The video soon attracted attention, because before the ideal ONE, a Lantu FREE also challenged the limits of "Chengfopo". Although it was a tortuous process, it rushed up after several attempts, while the "end" of the ideal ONE was obviously very miserable by comparison.

On the evening of the 18th, ideal ONE owner @ Koo Hengwei clarified the online news on Weibo. The car owner said he was the ideal ONE in August 2020 and had already traveled 70, 000 kilometers by the time of the accident. The incident happened on February 11, when I was returning to work in Shenzhen from Chengdu with my brother. When I was passing through Hunan, I suddenly wanted to go to "Chengfopo" to have a look. Because my brother was adventurous, he was not driving in the scene of "Chengfopo".

The owner said that after the off-road rescue mode was turned on at that time, the ESP of the vehicle was turned off, which greatly reduced the skid restriction effect of the vehicle. As an electric vehicle, the skid restriction ability provided by ESP was the most important when getting out of difficulty, so the vehicle could not climb up the hill. In addition, the owner clarified that the damaged part was the reducer of the rear drive motor, and as to why it was broken, it needed to be analyzed by the manufacturer before it could be known. The owner said that he did not receive any official benefits, the ideal ONE has also driven more than 70, 000 kilometers, the overall experience is still good, after-sale is also very satisfied. He also said that he could not afford to buy luxury cars, and that his friends' cars were all million-class brands and had basically been driven. "if I had money, I would buy X01 (the ideal second production car), and I really don't like cars of other brands at present."
