Recently, netizens posted a post on salted fish, a second-hand platform, to sell a Baitang test car. as soon as the post was published, it attracted a lot of views, with nearly 100 people saying they wanted the test car. According to the content of the post: the sale price of the vehicle is 52000 yuan, it is a test car, the electric car has 95 kilowatt-hour electricity, dual motors and hub tires are all new, but the vehicle cannot be on the road. In addition, another netizen on the salted fish also posted that a pure electric b Baiteng test car is sold at a price of 49900, cannot be licensed, is sold as a scrapped car, and the car has no keys.

With regard to the sale of Baiteng's test drive, some netizens commented: although Baiteng didn't make it to the end, many designs have been inherited by other families, such as Super Dalian screen and steering wheel with screen. If it hadn't been for the car's inability to hit the road, it would have been nice to buy a test car for 50,000 yuan. Another netizen said: which car company buys it back to disassemble and analyze, and the result of burning billions of units is not worth 50,000? Some netizens even said bluntly: "is this a failure?" Why can't you buy it on the road.

According to relevant data, Baiteng Automobile, established in September 2017, is a new energy vehicle brand of Nanjing Zhixing New Energy Technology Development Co., Ltd. According to statistics, since its establishment in 2017, Baiteng Automobile has conducted six rounds of financing, with a total financing amount of about 8.4 billion yuan, including Harmony Automobile, Foxconn, Tencent Investment and other giants, and FAW of China has participated in two rounds of financing. In addition, former CEO Bi Fukang served as vice president of BMW Group, COO Dai Lei served as general manager of Infiniti in China, and Baiteng is regarded by the outside world as one of the most promising new car-building forces.

From the pictures of the Baitang test drive, the vehicle looks like the first production model of the M-Byte. The biggest highlight of the new car is that the interior is equipped with a 48-inch comprehensive screen, the whole screen is divided into three display areas, the left area shows driving-related information, and the central and right areas show navigation and other services.

The car was unveiled at the US Consumer Electronics Show in 2019, and Dai Lei said the model would be officially put into mass production in mid-2020. However, in 2020, Baiteng has been exposed layoffs, arrears, office rent and other negative information, M-Byte mass production is also a long way off. In 2020, it was commented by CCTV that "if you burn up 8.4 billion yuan, you can't build a mass production car." In July last year, Baiteng Automobile affiliated company Nanjing Zhixing New Energy Automobile Technology Development Co., Ltd. added bankruptcy restructuring information. In November of the same year, the bankruptcy liquidation case of Nanjing Zhixing New Energy Automobile Technology Development Co., Ltd., an affiliated company of Baiteng Automobile, was formally heard. Once praised as the "four little dragons" of the new car-building forces juxtaposed with NIO, Xiaopeng and Weima, now this situation is regrettable.

For the sale of the Baiteng test car on the salted fish, some industry insiders said: under the condition that the company can still operate normally, the test car and its replacement parts and scrapped parts will be subject to quite strict control if they want to flow out. It would be almost impossible for the test car to flow out if it were not for a manufacturer who had lost its support, and maybe it was really impossible for Baiteng to come out. In addition, it also pointed out that the cost of a sample car per unit is more than one million is a very normal thing, from the depreciation half of the price, the current price is not expensive. It may be more appropriate for the test car to end up in the mainframe factory. After all, 50, 000 95kWh batteries can be bought by the mainframe factory, along with all the spare parts of a luxury electric car, which is relatively high in terms of performance-to-price ratio.
