Chapter 2770 Surprise
The press conference is still in progress, but because of smartphones, many posts have quickly appeared on the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, and NEXTDOOR.
The theme of these posts is the same as the arrangement of today’s press conference, surprise!
The appearance is very beautiful, the interior is very sci-fi, and the acceleration is comparable to that of a first-class sports car... Regarding the battery life issue that many people are generally worried about, a huge surprise broke out at the press conference.
According to the data originally circulated by the outside world, Tesla's first car has a cruising range of either 200 miles or 220 miles. In short, it will not exceed 250 miles.
But it turns out, 200 miles, that’s the cruising range of their entry-level model, and the one with the most power, 220? 250? No, that's a whopping 350 miles (nearly 600 kilometers).
And this is not the European Union's rigid and very unrealistic NEDC standard, but the value obtained under the most stringent North American EPA standard.
“…As engineers, we understand everyone’s anxiety about cruising range, so our team is continuing to improve the energy density of the battery… When the day comes for mass delivery, we will be able to smoothly start the journey without charging midway. San Francisco is a direct drive to Los Angeles,”
"Oh!" Some people at the scene couldn't help shouting, waving their fists.
"Of course, there is no need to worry about the low-power version of the model. We have first-class fast charging technology... and on the road from San Francisco to New York, our super charging station network is about to be completed..."
The scene was filled with deafening cheers again.
When some media practitioners were working seriously, they couldn't help but complain about Tesla in their hearts. Routine, it's all a routine!
As media practitioners, they are very clear about the source of the Model S data previously circulated on the Internet.
That actually comes from Tesla.
It turned out that Tesla told them that the acceleration time from zero to 100 kilometers and 60 miles was 6.7 seconds, but now, it is only 4.3 seconds, instantly killing many supercars.
As for the cruising range, it's the same. The 200-mile cruising range they said turned out to be the lowest-configuration version.
When you have accepted such expectations, only to find out at the final unveiling that the relevant data is much higher than the previous revelations, how could you not be excited?
Tesla’s tricks are so deep!
Feng Yiping quietly left the press conference in the middle of the press conference. In the car, he browsed the hottest topics at present, which were not the presidential campaign, the US$700 billion rescue plan, and the game between the White House and Capitol Hill...
The hottest topic is "Tesla launch conference like a rock concert."
In other words, if after having Facebook, Twitter, and NEXTDOOR, he still can't make this conference a headline, then he really has to hold the public relations team accountable.
All in all, it's a good start.
…………
But the real dazzling stars are actually in the Tesla factory at this time.
The two Google brothers have already got the keys to their sexy red Model S, and they can't wait to kiss each other.
Brin held the steering wheel and said, "Haha, I really want to try it on the track. In the silence, the sudden pushing feeling on my back makes me miss it when I think about it."
Page is studying vehicle systems, which Feng Yiping feels is somewhat lacking.
Of course, it's not the system that's lacking, but the display.
Although the three-display setup is impressive enough at this time, in any case, it is not as impressive as the original 17-inch large screen.
But at this time, Apple has not developed an iPad. The cost of such a large display that supports touch screen operation is too high. More importantly, mass production is currently very difficult.
"Is there really an interface reserved for future driving assistance systems?" Page asked.
Judging from his appearance, he wanted to take out a computer and connect it to see what happened.
"Yes," Feng Yiping sat in the passenger seat. "Not only are there interfaces reserved in the system, but there are also locations on the car body where sensors can be installed in the future."
The first batch of people to get cars are precisely people with status, and it is hard for their cars to become outdated soon.
"Unmanned driving," Page looked into the distance. "Thinking about such a future makes people look forward to it."
Feng Yiping remembered that this guy was very concerned about the transportation system when he was in college, and now he has enough strength to try to turn some of his original ideas into reality.
"Feng, we plan to change Google's architecture," Page said suddenly.
"Really?" Feng Yiping knew that Google had adjusted its structure, but it probably wasn't now.
"We want to increase the priority of some projects, including those we jointly develop, artificial intelligence and autonomous driving, as well as those projects related to the financial field that you raised a few days ago,"
Feng Yiping nodded, "I fully support such adjustments,"
But he immediately frowned. Regarding the structural adjustment of his company, he has not yet been able to come up with a final plan.
This is one of the difficulties of diversified groups.
"Brin and I currently have a general plan. Of course, we especially need your help in this regard,"
"No problem," compared to his own company, Google's structural adjustment is really much easier, "Oh, Laurenna is here,"
Mrs. Jobs got out of a Mercedes, smiled and waved to them.
Brin got out of his car, "I thought Steve Jobs might come,"
Feng Yiping shook his head. In the short term, there is no possibility that he and Steve Jobs will share the same screen publicly. These days, HTC's G1 has continued to gain momentum.
Behind this, there are more Android smartphones waiting to be launched.
Although Apple's iPhone sales are also rising at the same time, no Apple person would ever regard Android as a good friend.
"Von, Steve asked me to pass on his congratulations to you," Laurenna said during the hug.
"Thank you, is he okay? I haven't had a chance to meet him since I came back,"
"He's not bad. I happen to miss Huang and Amanda too. How about we make an appointment?"
Feng Yiping agreed wholeheartedly, "Okay!"
This Steve Jobs is being arrogant again. Otherwise, there is no need to ask his wife to convey blessings. Although it is difficult to do it in person, at this time, wouldn't it be difficult to make a phone call to say so?
Feng Yiping estimated that as soon as he saw his mobile phone, he immediately thought of G1, and then Android. Then he was so angry that he didn't even bother to call.
When Huang Jingping and Amanda are around, no matter how bad his temper is, he should know how to restrain himself, which is good.
"This is your car," Feng Yiping personally led her to a silver-gray Model S.
"Although it's not the first time I've seen her, I still have to say, she's so beautiful!" Laurenna sat in, "Feng, you guys are awesome!"
That is, the iPhone has redefined smartphones, and ours is a product that redefines pure electric vehicles.
At this time, someone next to him shouted, "Feng,"
Feng Yiping turned around and saw Governor Shi's beautiful eldest daughter, Catherine, walking over in a very ladylike blue dress with her long hair swaying.
Amanda was wrong. There was no beautiful aunt interviewing Dad today, but there was a beautiful sister who came to interview Dad.
…………
At this time, on Wall Street, in the Lehman building that had changed hands, the British bank Barclays, although they did not acquire Lehman in the end, they were very quick to acquire Lehman's high-quality assets.
The current owner of the Lehman Building has become Barclays.
Dick Fuld, the former Wall Street tycoon and head of Lehman, was stepping out of the elevator.
Although the lingering loneliness could not be concealed on his face, he still looked as arrogant as ever.
At this time, he also heard someone shout, "Fulder,"
He turned around and saw a fist getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision. Relying on a veteran's instinct, he subconsciously dodged it and the fist passed by the corner of his eye. "What are you doing?" He glared at the attacker.
It looks like this person is a former Lehman employee.
"What am I doing?" The young man, who didn't look strong, suddenly had a look of surprise in his eyes. Fuld once again felt something was wrong, but it was already too late.
A person who was passing by him kicked him hard without warning.
Fuld staggered and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the young man who had failed in the previous attack stepped forward to make up for it without hesitation, "What should I do?"
"I made you so arrogant and hateful, and made you so shameless,"
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Someone came running over again.
Fuld, who regretted not bringing his bodyguard with him as usual, thought someone was coming to dissuade him. As a result, when the person saw that it was him, he was also surprised, and then, without hesitation, he kicked a few...
At the same time, the secretary knocked on the door of Blackstone Su Shiming's office, "Goldman Sachs said they are waiting for a reply,"
