Mo Shaokun wanted to take out a note from his pocket and write down the experience of the co-pilot's ride, but his arm hurt when he moved it, so he had no choice but to give up. But he also quickly noticed some problems with Xinghanni.
Driving on flat ground is fine, but once you hit such potholed roads, you will obviously feel that the car's chassis is a little loose, and there are obvious problems with the suspension adjustment. It is inconsistent and has a bouncing feeling when driving.
Chen Zifan thought it was normal, because the front and rear suspensions were originally different, and the rear space of the Xinghan ni was average, but in terms of comfort, his Dandan car was much worse than the Xinghan ni.
If you have never driven a good car, the chassis of Xinghanni is not bad. After all, the cost of about 45,000 these days can already use a lot of good materials.
In terms of configuration, it is no worse than the new energy vehicles of the same level fifteen years later, and is even stronger in some aspects, such as the materials used and the workmanship of the details.
But since there are still problems, do your best if you can. As for whether consumers will recognize it when the time comes...that is another matter. There are many people who stubbornly love fuel vehicles, and there are also many problems with new energy vehicles.
It’s just a few problems: discounted battery life, troublesome charging, low value retention, battery damage…
The first three problems are easy to solve. If there is a discount on battery life, then increase the battery capacity and avoid making false claims about the cruising range. If charging is troublesome, then build charging piles. The value retention rate is low... Why buy a car and only focus on the value retention rate?
Besides, new energy vehicles haven’t come out yet, so who can be sure about the value retention rate? As for battery damage, Chen Zifan has his own solution: insert a few anti-counterfeiting chips into Stardust Technology’s lithium batteries.
The kind that is directly soaked in the battery solution. Forcible disassembly will definitely cause battery damage, which prevents some unscrupulous workshops from cheating. The reason for this is: after Xinghanni is mass-produced and launched, he will implement an after-sales policy:
The brand charging pile built by Stardust Technology provides free charging, and the battery can be directly replaced after 8 years or 120,000 kilometers.
Generally, new energy vehicle brands dare not do this. Branded charging stations are also free, but at most they provide a battery warranty of 8 years and 120,000 kilometers. But Chen Zifan dared to do this because the Stardust factory has battery recycling equipment.
Just recycle the damaged batteries to produce new batteries, and this policy can also stimulate people to travel on Xinghanni. First, there is free electricity, and second, 8 years is too long, and 120,000 kilometers is easier.
Chen Zifan is not afraid of them driving, but he is afraid that they will not drive. The longer he drives and the wider the range, the better. These cars are equivalent to mobile billboards and will definitely attract a lot of people's attention in the streets and alleys.
The first-generation Xinghan ni did not have fast charging, but a fast-charging interface was reserved. When the second-generation Xinghan ni is launched, first-generation car owners can also upgrade it.
However, cars are different from mobile phones. The service life of a car is too long. Even if it is updated, it will not be as big an upgrade as a mobile phone.
Chen Zifan and others staggered along the way and finally arrived at Haitian Driving School after more than half an hour.
If there was a direct highway, it would only be a little over 5 kilometers from Stardust Technology to Haitian Driving School. Now we can only take a detour. The distance is more than twice as long as the direct highway. Since it is a test vehicle, we dare not drive too fast. ….
There were people and cars watching from the front and back of their small convoy. Some taxi drivers even followed behind to see where they were going.
What if one of the cars had a problem and broke down halfway while driving too fast in front of everyone... Chen Zifan couldn't accept it anyway. Fortunately, the Xinghan Ni was very powerful. Don't mention the problem along the way, and there was no abnormal noise.
It is not ruled out that this is due to the new car. Many cars do not make any abnormal noise at first, but problems develop after being used for a long time.
The Haitian Driving School at this time is completely different from when Chen Zifan first came here. From the outside, it looks like it is wrapped in a layer of construction isolation iron. Once inside, the first thing you see is rows of coaching vehicles and a brand new training venue.
The difference between the C2 automatic driving license and the C1 is that there is no clutch, there is no fixed parking and starting on the slope, and there is no need to frequently step on the clutch and change gears during driving, making the driving operation more difficult.
However, the registration fee for C2 driver’s license is compared to C1
It's higher. The registration fee for Haitian Driving School is higher than that of ordinary driving schools... Fortunately, this high just looks high, because there are no hidden charges.
When you sign up, you say how much it will cost. If you don’t want to learn at the moment, you will be refunded according to the proportion. What about giving the coach tobacco and alcohol, benefits fees, customs clearance fees... This is to learn a driver’s license, not to build relationships.
The instructors of Haitian Driving School are also employees of Stardust Technology, and naturally they must accept the regulations of Stardust Technology. Work is work, and it should not be related to personal behavior. It is more important for students to get their licenses as soon as possible.
Of course, the number of applicants for the C2 driver's license is bound to not be too many these days. This is also a convenient transformation. The real focus is behind the C2 training venue, which has a venue specially designed for D and E driver's licenses.
The name of Haitian Driving School always reminds Chen Zifan of a certain brand of soy sauce... He is trying to wipe away this inherent impression. Mo Shaokun beside him has already returned to his own home. He started to say without caring about his injuries:
"This is something that didn't exist before! I consulted friends in the capital and planned a specially designed venue. It has a daily riding training venue and an exam training venue. The division of labor between the two venues is very clear.
The daily cycling training venue is very large. It not only has complete programs, but also provides professional protective gear and a medical team to ensure that there will be no problems during training. At the same time, I also came up with a good idea!
Didn’t you say that we should popularize the knowledge of safe driving and improve safety awareness? It's very simple. We don't charge any extra fees to come to the venue. You just need to take a safety test once a week. If you pass it, you can enter the venue for free training.
If you can't pass it...you have to pay a fee or wait for the next week. Regarding profits...did you see that? Cycling equipment stores, clothing stores, modification shops, restaurants...are all reserved, so you don't have to worry about not making any profits when the time comes! "
Chen Zifan thought differently. Although there were official reimbursement resources, it didn't matter whether he made money or not. He just had to give an explanation. But now that it was determined, he must work hard, and the passenger flow was the problem:
"Based on the current situation on the Bund in Haicheng, are you sure the passenger flow is large enough? It's best not to use the test method, just pass the safe driving test. Keep it simple, not too complicated, and update the questions regularly. …
Not many people like taking exams, and the exams should sound more formal, with just three or five questions, but don’t make it the 100 questions of Section 1. Safety awareness also depends on self-consciousness, don’t you think? "
Just give a few safety reminders and put some slogans in conspicuous places. What's the use of tying up an unconscious person for exams? Are there still too many safety questions in the course? Some people forget all about it as soon as they hit the road.
What about slowing down when crossing a traffic light, slowing down when crossing a crosswalk, turning and giving way to go straight... When answering questions, each one is better than the other, but in reality, each one is more anxious than the other, as if they have to catch a plane, so what is the meaning of giving way?
Rules and regulations are not dead. For safety-conscious experienced drivers, they can not only adapt to changes, but also rarely have accidents while driving.
Mo Shaokun thought for a while and said: "In terms of passenger flow...if it is a motorcycle, there is no need to worry about the passenger flow. There are too many motorcycle enthusiasts in the country, but if it is an electric vehicle...do you think so?"
What he meant was very clear. The D and E driver's license exams were originally intended for riding motorcycles. As a result, Haicheng continued to increase the ban and restrictions on motorcycles. No one was interested in signing up, and there were no suitable substitutes for electric vehicles...
Even if the passenger flow is high, it won't be much higher. Chen Zifan naturally understands this truth: "Okay, I will prepare for electric vehicles as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if Haitian Driving School is not profitable in the early stage, as long as it is maintained well!"
After all, it is something that the official requested, and it will be reimbursed, and it is extremely beneficial to the development of Xinghan Zhixing. After the construction is completed, it will be enough to maintain the operating status. Chen Zifan will use the Stardust Marketing Department for publicity in the future.
He also did not forget that the main task of coming to Haitian Driving School this time was to conduct various tests on Xinghanni, including acceleration and braking. There are testers to do this, and they only need to look at the data.
The remaining more extreme tests, such as collisions, drops, squeezes, hits... will be placed in more professional experimental sites, where there will be more complete test strips.
software, the measured data is more convincing.
Just as Chen Zifan expected, in the straight-line test at Haitian Driving School, the Xinghanni's 0-50 acceleration test score fluctuated around 5.6 seconds, and 0-100 was already over 14 seconds, so the results were not good.
What's even worse is the braking distance. The braking distance during sudden braking at 80k per hour is more than 40 meters. This result is simply terrible. It's also a serious nod in the front section, and it can't stop in the second half after stepping on the ABS.
I have tested five Xinghan Nis in succession, and the measured results are almost the same. It can only be said that there is a problem with the brake configuration used by Xinghan Ni. It has nothing to do with whether it is adjusted or not. The hardware configuration has not laid a good foundation.
"I immediately changed suppliers when I got back. Also, the timing of ABS intervention was too bad. It couldn't exert its maximum effect at all. It couldn't even reach the average level. The suspension and chassis also had to be readjusted..."
This has not yet been truly tested on the road. When the actual road test is conducted, there will be more problems, such as passability, waterproofness, collision resistance, headlight brightness, extreme weather safety... A single car is not enough, quality control must be improved. .
After all these are completed, the product is adjusted, and Xinghanni is mass-produced and launched, I am afraid it will be June next year. Chen Zifan's requirements are not high, as long as he can catch up with the press conference, and it does not necessarily have to be launched. ….
Xinghan ni is different from Stardust 3. It can extend the time to market, release it first and then put it on the market, and put some test cars in Xinghan directly-operated stores. After ordering the car, it only needs to be delivered on time, and the shipment volume will not necessarily be large.
It takes a certain process for people to accept new energy vehicles. The price of more than 50,000 yuan is also a huge expense for many families. They will be more careful when buying a car, and practicality comes first.
Ordinary people won't choose it, and rich people don't like it. The only ones left are the middle class. But in this era, the middle class usually wants to climb up, and they will also lean higher when choosing a car. Use Car charger facade.
So Xinghanni is destined to have an embarrassing period, but it doesn't matter. All Chen Zifan wants is to attract young people and leave a deep enough impression on them.
Young people are the future, and their potential is very great. If you can’t afford it now, doesn’t it mean you won’t be able to afford it in the future? As long as Xinghan Zhixing develops fast enough, the infrastructure is complete enough, and the product strength is strong enough, there will be no problem.
Coupled with the drive of Stardust Technology and official support...the combination of various conditions still makes Xinghan Zhixing fail...I am afraid that the crooked star people will not be able to do this even if they come.
At the same time, outside the Haitian Driving School, many people and cars followed here. They were blocked by the big metal plate and could not see what was going on inside. But they looked up at the sign and confirmed one thing:
"Holy crap! Is this really a new energy vehicle from Xinghan Zhixing? I'm so familiar with this logo! I drive their car every day in Mirage! Have you taken the photo?"
"I filmed it! I even recorded it!"
"Publish it online quickly!"
"Is this... going to be a problem? I heard that Xinghan Zhixing's legal department is very angry! If they directly give me a court summons, I can't afford it..."
"Are you stupid? Xinghan dares to drive out his car openly, and is he afraid that you will take photos and post them online? As long as you are not like Zhang Yue, who will target you?"
"Zhang Yue? Damn! Fortunately, I used to like watching his show, but now I feel sick just thinking about it!"
"So there won't be any problems! And...what do you think is going on at this Haitian Driving School? The outside is so tightly blocked that you can't even see inside!"
"Hey, don't you understand this? Come with me, I know there is a hole two fingers wide..."
Two people first edited the pictures they had just taken in the taxi into posts and uploaded them to the Stardust community. However, due to the 2G network, the speed was really slow.
While uploading, the two of them found a small slope along the periphery of the Haitian Driving School. They dug up the soil and found a hole in the iron sheet inside, allowing them to see directly into the Haitian Driving School.
"How do you watch this? Lie down and watch it?"
"Can't you just point your cell phone camera inside? Record it first, then take it out and take a look!"
"Okay, I'll record it!"
One of the elder brothers squatted on the slope and pointed the camera of his mobile phone at the hole. It was indeed much clearer on the screen of the mobile phone, but because the angle was fixed and could not be moved left and right, he could not see much of the picture.
He only saw one of the cars covered with mosaic stickers speeding past the scene at a pretty fast speed, and then a group of people in uniforms appeared, gathering around as if they were recording something.
At the same time, he also noticed that the venue of Haitian Driving School was obviously different from before. After recording for more than ten seconds, he picked up his mobile phone and started playing:
"This... Sure enough, once Stardust Technology took over, Haitian Driving School will be different! Look at this place... I want to go in and drive two cars, but why do you think they bought Haitian Driving School? Just to test one car?"
"There are so many testing venues, why is it here? Why go all the way here? It looks like the driving school is going to be rebuilt. There seems to be something next to it. It's a bit unclear... Why don't you make the hole bigger?" .
