Li Xiang, the founder of Li, sent two Weibo in succession to express his views. Interestingly, Li wanted to mention in the first Weibo that "the 300,000 threshold is to limit Tesla", and later this Weibo said that "the 300,000 subsidy threshold is to accurately assist Tesla to destroy domestic pure electric brands".
In short, whether it is "restricting Tesla" or "assisting Tesla", it is facing a result, that is, Tesla's price reduction, and domestic new energy brands are either dead or injured.
According to this statement, consumers should feel sorry for their own brands and shout the slogan of "supporting domestic products", but the fact is just the opposite.
Some netizens bluntly said that Li Xiang is blx. Independent brands have to rely on their own skills in the market, and there will be no progress only by policy protection.
So what is the reason why these domestic pure electric brands don't hurt uncles, and even everyone shouts?
1. Only quantity, not quality, no core technology, living on state subsidies.
Pure electric vehicles, such as BAIC New Energy, Zotye, Zhi Dou and Lifan, don't have their own core technologies at all, and only demand quantity but not quality. The models produced are unsafe and have various problems, so they can only survive by state subsidies.
2. Opportunistic, change car oil into electricity
In order to reduce the cost of R&D and get the state subsidy as soon as possible, many new energy vehicle companies have adopted the production mode of replacing oil with electricity, that is, the original fuel vehicle models are reformed and the engine and gearbox are replaced by electric drive modules. However, there is no special space for the batteries of fuel vehicles, so almost all the batteries are changed in shape and then stuffed in, which may lead to uneven weight distribution of vehicles or affect the driving space. In extreme cases such as vehicle collision and rolling, the batteries are more likely to be damaged and caught fire.
3. Virtual standard of durability
Almost all pure electric vehicles will face this problem, because the endurance test standard is different from the usual use scenarios, so the comprehensive cruising range announced by car companies is generally high, and in the actual use process, the cruising range of vehicles will be almost 20% off, and the actual cruising range of individual models will even be shorter, which will inevitably make consumers feel cheated.
No wonder Zheng Qiang, a network celebrity professor, lamented, "Comrades, patriotism is not easy". I hope that some independent brands will stop being flowers in the greenhouse, dare to face challenges and spur their better growth, and speak with product strength instead of relying on state subsidies to survive.
