Chapter 2355 Unprecedented Welcome

On the other side of the ocean, traditional car manufacturers who heard the news about Tesla's road tests in various places didn't know what to think, but domestically, it was once again boiling.

After completing all the formalities at the port, Gao Zhiyi's motorcade was about to leave with several road test cars when it was stopped by a large group of media and car enthusiasts.

"Mr. Gao, can you let us take photos?" - This is the most requested question.

"Mr. Gao, where will Tesla's domestic road tests start?" - Obviously, this means that he is prepared to wait in the pit in advance.

"Mr. Gao, how do you charge these cars during domestic road tests?" - This question is at least professional.

"Mr. Gao, does Tesla really intend to build factories in three places in China?"

"Is its acceleration performance really as amazing as what foreign media disclosed?"

"What is the selling price in China in the future?"

“When will it be launched in China at the earliest?”…

When an issue is related to Feng Yiping, Silicon Valley, and pure electric vehicles, it is difficult not to attract people's attention.

In particular, Tesla's Silicon Valley attributes have made the big guys in the domestic Internet circle agitated.

In any case, Silicon Valley in the U.S. stock market is still the leader in the world's high-tech trends. As peers, they pay attention to Tesla, which has been a hot topic in Silicon Valley recently, which can greatly demonstrate their identity.

Taking advantage of the popularity, really everyone can do it now.

When the big guys get agitated, how can these media have any reason to be reserved? It would be dereliction of duty not to follow up on such hot topics!

What's more, Tesla can indeed be called a major event in the high-tech circle recently, because it is a company that subverts the traditional automobile industry. It is the iPhone of the automobile industry.

Think about the half-year period from the release to the launch of the iPhone, the domestic desire for it, and the various high-profile reports about it...

Many times, our media is indeed more enthusiastic about and pays more attention to some popular foreign products. This is true for iPhone and Tesla.

This may be related to our current lack of innovation in the high-tech field, or it may also be related to the public's willingness to consume... In short, Tesla has replaced Apple's iPhone and has become the high-tech hot spot that everyone is willing to focus on reporting on.

In the eyes of most people, a car is always more complicated than a mobile phone. Big bosses in the technology industry can say that they long for Tesla, but it is difficult to say that they long for iPhone. After all, the latter is just a thing worth a few thousand yuan equivalent to RMB. If you want it, you will seem a bit petty and lack of structure.

Of course, with so many media and so many enthusiasts paying so much attention to Tesla, it must be said that Apple’s iPhone has given a solid assist.

Everyone has been talking about it and looking forward to it for half a year. As a result, the iPhone will not be launched in China at all. This result is really sad and makes many people feel like they are rubbing their hot cheeks against others' cold butts.

In particular, many media have previously disclosed that the iPhone is still produced in our country. Not only is it not available on a first-come-first-served basis, but even some small countries can buy it, but we cannot buy it. This makes How can one be so unfavorable?

But if you look at Tesla, as soon as the first batch of vehicles came out, some of them were immediately sent to domestic road tests. This is attention, and everyone likes this kind of attention.

Gao Zhiyi naturally knew this, so he did not respond specifically to everyone's questions. He just smiled and said what he had prepared, "Tesla and Mr. Feng attach great importance to the domestic market. Our country is already the world's largest." The largest and most important auto market in the world will also be Tesla’s most important market,”

"Tesla and Mr. Feng also highly praise the efficiency of domestic manufacturing..."

As soon as he said these two words, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely high. These two words of his just hit everyone's itch.

Our market size and our manufacturing industry are two things that make everyone proud.

"Domestically, Tesla will at least be launched simultaneously with the rest of the world,"

"Moreover, we can guarantee that it will be launched in China at the same basic price as abroad. Specifically, Tesla's price in the United States, plus shipping costs and tariffs,"

"When domestic products are produced in the future, the price will definitely be lower than the price abroad,"

These three sentences, especially the last two, completely ignited everyone's enthusiasm. Suddenly, "Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao," screams could be heard at the top of their lungs.

If his first two sentences poked everyone's itch, then these few sentences poked everyone's pain points.

In fact, for consumers, we are really frustrated in the automotive industry. Although we are already the largest single market for many brands, we never get the respect we deserve.

For those important models, there are very few opportunities for them to be launched in China at the same time as the world - let alone make their domestic debut.

And the selling price is even more painful that no one can describe.

As far as imported cars are concerned, even if the relevant freight and taxes are excluded, the price is still so ridiculously high compared to foreign cars that you will regret making the comparison.

The selling prices of those domestically produced popular models will also make you angry, because their domestic selling prices will make you feel that the low cost of domestic manufacturing that we have repeatedly emphasized seems to be a lie. At least this is not reflected in the pricing.

These three guarantees from Tesla can definitely be regarded as the conscience of the industry.

But it's not over yet. "After the final launch time is determined, Tesla will open the online reservation system and confirm the order of delivery based on the time when everyone pays the deposit," Gao Zhiyi said.

This is another exciting news for everyone.

When buying a car in China, in addition to high car prices, if you want to take delivery of some popular models, you can, but you will have to pay more...

Previously, based on Tesla's popularity and its possible selling price, some media have already made speculations that when it is launched in China, the price increase will have to start at 100,000.

But booking online will obviously put an end to this bad habit that makes you angry and afraid to speak out.

A conscientious enterprise, a conscientious enterprise, this is the voice of everyone present at this time.

Some people even lamented that this Tesla is worthy of being a company founded by Feng Yiping, worthy of being a company in Silicon Valley, and worthy of being a company that says it will subvert the traditional automobile industry... Based on what they heard today, this Tesla is worthy of being a company founded by Feng Yiping. Alas, it’s still different.

"As for news about domestic road tests and subsequent related news, please pay attention to the special topic on Automobile.com in a timely manner,"

"Thank you everyone! Thank you!" With the help of the driver, Gao Zhiyi got into the car and led the convoy straight to the prepared parking lot.

Some media and most enthusiasts have also followed suit, and the remaining media are already eagerly preparing manuscripts to share the exciting news they just heard with more people.

When Jin Ling also brought some people to the warehouse, where many media and enthusiasts were still watching, the news first spread online. The titles of some reports were as eye-catching as ever, "Tesla's Special".

Jin Ling, a supercar enthusiast and car enthusiast, bent over and looked at the unloaded cars, her eyes shining. "These disguises really ruined the original curves," she said.

When she got into the car, she couldn't help shouting, "Oh!"

Gao Zhiyi stood next to the car, "This interior looks very Silicon Valley and high-tech at first glance."

"Although I've seen the pictures, I still have to say, it's really cool!" Jin Ling's hand touched the center console and the screens, "Is there anything I can try now?"

"Those engineers are checking it, and some cars should be able to charge soon," Gao Zhiyi said.

At this moment, he was feeling itchy.

"Our road test must start on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway?" Jin Ling asked.

"Yes, their opinion is that the Qinghai-Tibet Highway is somewhat similar to Death Valley. The Kunlun Mountains it passes through are not only high in altitude, but the climate also changes at any time. According to the terrain, it is divided into three sections: west, middle and east. The temperature span is very large, making it the most ideal road test site," Gao Zhiyi said.

Jin Ling didn't know what to say. How confident do you have to be to choose the most challenging area to start a road test?

He felt that Feng Yiping's personality seemed to have changed a bit these days. In some things, he was not as gentle and sharp as before.

…………

While they were waiting anxiously, some of the big guys in the domestic automobile industry were unable to sit still.

Originally, they felt that Tesla was still far away from them. At present, that should be a headache for those guys in Detroit, but they did not expect that it would actually arrive in China so quickly.

The wolf is already here.

And the points Gao Zhiyi said at the port before, especially those about the selling price, made them uneasy. Will this become the pricing model in the future?

Their impressions of Feng Yiping and Tesla are not even good at this time.

Originally, some of them thought that the cooperation with Tesla would fall on them, but who would have expected that Feng Yiping would be so good at keeping the money from outsiders, and Tesla planned to establish a joint venture in China. , the Chinese partner is Jiasheng Group, and they have nothing to do with it at all.

Isn’t this the left hand holding the right hand?

But the strength revealed by Jiasheng couldn't help but impress them. As we all know, the relevant approvals are not generally complicated, but Jiasheng got it in a short period of time.

Originally it didn't matter, everyone just went their separate ways. Anyway, it's easy to make money now, but I didn't expect that we didn't set up obstacles for you, but you created obstacles for us?

There is no such truth, okay!

The sad thing is that Jiaqiang also has its own car website, and it is the only professional website in China that will participate in all famous auto shows in the world. If they disclose the foreign selling prices of relevant models on the website, then at least they have to give everyone Damn it!

But at this time, it was a completely different scene on the Jiasheng Auto website. In the Tesla topic on the Internet, there were all kinds of complimentary comments, which can be said to be overwhelming.

Tesla, which has not yet been mass-produced, should be the first car to be so widely praised.

This made many of those guys who were already angry couldn't help but drop their keyboards. What kind of world is this? You don't even know what it looks like and you're so popular?
