They also directly dispatched taxi drivers from Takumi Travel, with a total of 30 taxis and 30 carefully selected taxi drivers. They didn't even need to look at the Beidou map navigation and could find it by reporting the location.
These days, memorizing a map is almost a must-have quality for a taxi driver. Even in the era when online ride-hailing was rampant, taxis from all over the country only needed to report the approximate location, and the driver did not need to read the navigation.
Not to mention online ride-hailing drivers, they can take orders directly online, the route navigation is planned, and the order is a fixed price, so there is no problem of detours.
In other words, some online ride-hailing drivers who are too "enthusiastic" will take a shortcut when they see the unreasonable route planning of the navigation. On the one hand, they can send passengers to the designated location early, and on the other hand, they can take more orders.
However, the problem caused by this is that some passengers will feel panic, which will lead to various unnecessary arguments. Therefore, under normal circumstances, online car-hailing drivers will follow the designated route to avoid all kinds of trouble.
After receiving the call from Polestar Motors, the 30 drivers became more excited each one and said quickly:
"Hey, are you coming there tomorrow?"
"Okay, okay! I'm free! It's very convenient!"
"Don't worry! I promise to complete the mission! What? Eight hours a day? Only such a short amount of time?"
"Ahem, it turns out I'm afraid of running out of battery... Don't worry, I know the time. I've been driving a Haicheng taxi for six years! When I'm tired from running, I'll definitely go back and rest. It's okay. There are charging stations! I can just go and charge it! "
"Can I pick up the car today? No, I'm not running tonight. I'm thinking that I should familiarize myself with the car in advance so that I can keep up with most of it tomorrow. After all, I've never driven a tram before, so I don't know how to drive it."
"Okay! I'll be there later!"
"..."
How could a seasoned and experienced taxi driver not drive a tram that is easier to use? It was said that it would start tomorrow morning. I was ready to pick up the car as soon as I answered the phone. I had no choice but to be impatient!
Polestar X is now so famous, and they also want to experience what this car feels like.
Yang Zhirong sent someone to make a call around six o'clock in the afternoon. All 30 taxi drivers arrived before seven o'clock. Each of them drove his own car, either a purchased taxi or a private car.
Unlike Takumi Travel's new taxi system, which only allows the use of company cars, the previous taxis can be purchased privately, but the appearance is still the appearance of a taxi. It depends on personal preference whether to use the meter or run a black taxi.
The taxi version of Polestar
Originally, "not using a meter", "carpooling to solicit passengers", and "black cars" were not allowed in Takumi Travel's company. As for other vehicles...someone uses their own private car to earn some tolls, that is not their business.
Ordinary people only need to look for the Polestar
In Chen Zifan's impression, his father was annoyed by the taxi drivers standing guard at the entrance of the train station. He was always pestered for a long time. He still didn't understand this. Black taxi drivers were also human beings and it was normal to support their families.
Besides, wouldn’t it be more convenient to follow people and take a bus directly from the station than to find a bus outside the station? Spend the same money and save time, so why not sit?
Later, he found an opportunity to experience it specifically, and then he discovered that the so-called saving of time was completely wrong, and money may not be saved, because some black taxi drivers charge very high prices, which are no cheaper than taxis.
After he was alone, the car had to gather three or even more people before it could start. If it was not enough, it would not leave. The actual riding experience was not that good, and time was wasted in the waiting process.
Therefore, Chen Zifan's attitude towards the illegal car drivers is alienated and sympathetic. Alienated because he will never ride again if he has other choices, and sympathetic because they are running around trying to make money...
But in real life, you don’t need to really sympathize with anyone. In student days, etiquette
Giving in to others is a sign of politeness, and as soon as you dare to give in, someone will immediately step in and take everything for granted.
You can not fight, but you can’t give in!
The 30 taxi drivers working for Takumi Travel are obviously deeply aware of this. Each of them drove directly out of the Polestar Automobile Factory with one car. Their inability to drive and adaptability to the car were all fake. They just wanted to drive a new car.
At the same time, I started working early to earn some money, but after driving for a while, some drivers began to feel uncomfortable:
"Oh, this car..."
"It's really uncomfortable to drive it. My right hand always wants to put it on the gear lever, and the oil...the switch is too sensitive. It jumps forward as soon as I put my foot down."
"It's the same as the automatic! It's just that the gear shifting without the automatic is a bit cumbersome, but it's quite comfortable."
"But... there is no accelerator sound, no pause, how do you know you are driving a car?"
"I'm really not used to it, but this car is indeed much more comfortable than before. The seats are really big sofas! And there's this central control screen that plays music? By the way, it has car-mounted f! It feels great now. Let's play it for a while Song!"
"Grandma's! You don't have to use it for free! Let me see what software there is? Yes, it's you!"
So, the veteran driver directly played a recently popular song: "...My heart is beating and my love is burning. I really don't want to look for it. My heart is beating and my love is burning..."
After a few kilometers, they had basically adapted to the driving rhythm of the Polestar X. Except for being unable to change gears, everything else was more comfortable than the taxi they originally drove, and they could not feel that it was a car made by a new car company.
Sure, although Xinghan Zhixing and Polestar Automobile were established not long ago, Stardust Technology provides technology behind them. The workers in the automobile factory are also elites, and the machinery and equipment have been specially upgraded.
So even though the Polestar X is only the first car made by the Xinghan Zhixing sub-brand, it is already very sophisticated and mature in all aspects, and the driving experience is not bad.
Overall, it is as good as a standard 80,000-yuan electric car. It is not like some car companies, which clearly build electric cars but insist on having the front face of a gas car, and they also boast about their experience in driving a gas car.
What do you advertise?
How much effort does it take for the engine to achieve the natural smoothness of the motor? The motor of Polestar X is two grades worse than that of Xinghan 001, but its starting speed still shocked many veteran taxi drivers.
Experienced drivers who are accustomed to starting with a big foot on the accelerator can even feel a vague push on the back as soon as they step on the pedal, and the acceleration process is also very smooth. The only drawback is that the acceleration after 80 is relatively weak.
After all, the main purpose is urban transportation. The maximum speed of Polestar X is only about 130/k. It is okay to run on the highway occasionally, but not very often. This is one of the few shortcomings of the Polestar X. .
Unless you add more money to exchange for Xinghan 001...
Once the 30 taxis leave, it will definitely be impossible to go home. If I don’t take this opportunity to go for a walk, I’d be sorry if I came to pick up the car early tonight!
As night falls, the light plate and empty sign on the taxi are particularly conspicuous, and the narrow front and rear lighting design gives it a slightly "combat feel".
When these drivers were about to turn on the lights in the car, they found a light button next to them:
"What's this?"
After opening it with curiosity, they discovered that there is an ambient light strip inside the Polestar X, and they can also DIY colors on the central control screen. There are sixteen basic colors that can be freely matched.
If we put it in more than ten years, the ambient lighting of Polestar .
"???"
"Why do you feel so good for no reason?"
"Damn it! This is called driving!"
"This sense of technology... is amazing!"
Obviously, the drivers don't know what words to use to describe the current situation. After much deliberation, they can only come up with the word "technology". Although these things are not high in technology, they can make people feel happy.

Talking about how high-end the configuration of Polestar
These drivers are different from Chen Zifan. As long as someone stops them, they will stop to solicit customers.
Thanks to the publicity of the Stardust community, major media and brochures, many Haicheng citizens also recognized that several green taxis running on the road were Polestar .
There are also some citizens who took out their mobile phones and took pictures and uploaded them directly to the Stardust community, attracting countless netizens and Haicheng locals to watch:
"Damn it! You've already started running?"
"Isn't it a road test car? You can actually ride in it? How to pay? Pay by mobile phone? Ahhh! Why do I feel like I don't know anything? Is there anyone who can go with me in a group? Let's see how it works together!"
"Brother, add me and add me!"
"Damn it! I woke up after a long sleep and found that the world has become a strange place! Can I still pay for my mobile phone?"
"According to my guess, it is possible that the payment method used for online shopping has been transplanted, but there are purchase links online that directly go to the backend for payment. How does it work in reality? I can't figure it out..."
"The four major banks have issued an announcement! Online banking is available for free! Anyone with a card can activate it!"
"After you activate online banking, you can pay directly with your mobile phone. It is more convenient than using a PO machine. In the future, your mobile phone may be able to replace cash. You can just take your mobile phone with you when you go out. The only problem is that you cannot lose your mobile phone..."
"Two apps, Tuohai Travel and Haicheng Bus, are now available. Download them first! Then study them slowly!"
Stardust Network is also very awesome. After receiving the notification from Chen Zifan, they directly put the two apps on the shelves. There is no need to worry about promotion or anything, because there will be a list of newly launched apps in the Stardust app.
Since Polestar Auto became popular, many people have been paying attention to the newly launched Stardust Apps every day, hoping to find something in them. Their wish has also come true, as each issue has apps with different features on the shelves.
In addition to the apps of Stardust Technology and its subsidiaries, there are also excellent apps from other Internet companies, including games, life, learning and other fields, which continue to deepen the time people use smartphones.
Some experts also took the opportunity to criticize, and there were also speeches about "learning better without playing games". Some parents were cynical and believed that smartphones ruined their children's future, but this is not actually the case.
Even they themselves lie on the sofa or bed looking at their mobile phones and smiling like flowers after work every day, let alone their children. In fact, the quality of children's academic performance has little to do with games or TV.
In the Stardust community, some users who had just taken a Polestar X taxi started talking about the ride experience:
"I just finished my ride. The back seat is very comfortable and the car is quite high-end. The rear windows are also powered by electric lift. The Stardust 3 I used can automatically connect to f, but after getting out of the car, f disconnected after two meters. Already."
"I'm telling you, when the taxi driver put the passenger down, I rushed forward and successfully grabbed an opportunity to experience it..."
