AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/03 Report--

At the same time as the Shanghai super factory was officially capped, Tesla announced the price of its first model, the model3, which went into production in China, priced at 328000 yuan, and many people have mixed opinions about the domestic model3. For the current Tesla to expand its product line is its top priority, Tesla ceo and founder Elon Musk said on a social occasion yesterday that he will launch his first electric pickup truck product.

Earlier, Elon Musk revealed the details of the electric pickup, such as a 400-500-mile range, a dual-motor all-wheel drive system with dynamic suspension and a towing capacity of 300000 pounds.

In a media talk show last week, he revealed that the price of an electric pickup is about $50, 000 (345000 yuan). He believes that as an economical multi-function model, he hopes it will not be too expensive.

"I don't want it to be too expensive. I think the starting price should be less than $50, 000-$49000 at the most. Ideally, it should be even less. It can't be unaffordable, but it should be an affordable model. There will be some more expensive models, but you can buy a really good pickup for $49000 or less. "

Musk also revealed that the new car has a sci-fi shape, unlike the traditional design style of existing pickup models for 30 years, and the design of the sci-fi movie Blade Runner. When it comes to the performance of the vehicle, he said it will be more practical than the Ford F150 and on a par with 911 in terms of drivability.

Many netizens talked about: "born for fever", "do you need to spray nuclear passengers in China", Musk wants to make enough money in the car, and continue to work on his "plan to send 1 million people to Mars" and so on.

For the netizens' statement, we are more looking forward to the performance of the model after its launch. As the rival of the model will be facing the traditional fuel pickup truck, it is believed that it may be more popular in China except in North America. The domestic pickup truck market is divided into truck categories and has a 15-year compulsory scrapping date. As a result, many customers who have potential needs for pickups are deterred. With the implementation of the lifting of the ban on pickups in some areas, it is believed that pickups will be gradually accepted. However, we are more concerned about the price of Tesla's electric pickup truck entering China, and whether the domestic price will become high-end because of the identity of imported cars. if it becomes an outing tool for the rich rather than the general public, then it runs counter to what Musk said.
