Some time ago, Tesla's "chip door" burst into a uproar, and this incident happened just before "315". At that time, many car owners wanted to send Tesla to "315 party" in pursuit of a fairer solution
Therefore, this time Tesla's "chip gate" not only hurt consumers' feelings, but also involved illegal behaviors to a certain extent. Relevant departments also interviewed Tesla to ask for rectification. In fact, it can be seen from this incident that the reason why Tesla will mix hw2.5 chips with hw3.0 chips is largely because there are strong requirements in Tesla's internal delivery plan, which puts great pressure on commercialization. It will take several months to re apply for a batch of models equipped with hw2.5 to enter the catalog at the earliest, and Tesla can't afford to waiton the other hand, Tesla's thinking on Chinese localization and understanding of laws and regulations still have a lot of room for improvement. I'm afraid it's not easy to play the same game in the United States and directly it to the Chinese market. I'm afraid that Tesla's "chip gate" is not over now, whether it's trying to "make things small, make things small" or something else

Tesla's every move has always been the focus of attention of the masses. On the one hand, it is the best-selling new energy vehicle company in the world. On the other hand, Tesla has been doing a lot of things recently. For example, Tesla has been using the power battery provided by Panasonic before, and will use the battery of LG Chemical and Ningde times after it is made in China. Some car owners said that the model 3 they bought is equipped with the power battery provided by Nanjing LG Chemical, which leads to the difference between the enrance and the official announcement
what is the impact of hw3.0 and hw2.5 chips? Tesla's automatic driving function needs to be optional. The price of FSD fully automatic driving is 56000 yuan. At present, most of the models with this function are equipped with hw3.0 chips, while the models without FSD are equipped with two kinds of chips. In fact, they have little impact, which can fully meet the use of existing functions
at the end:
What's interesting is that some foreign Netizens found this problem earlier, but they seem to tolerate Tesla's practice. When it comes to the Chinese market, Tesla has encountered a hard nail, which also shows that China's consumers' awareness of safeguarding their rights is graally increasing. It's worth mentioning that 315 is coming soon. Will Tesla be affected by this "chip gate"

Weilai is going to make chips
According to people familiar with the matter, Weilai is planning to develop its own automatic driving computing chip. Although the project is still in its early stage and has not been approved by the board of directors, Li Bin is very interested in it. According to Li Bin's current prestige in Weilai, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the project is completed On the other hand, self-developed chips have a great demand for talentsfor example, one of the key factors for Tesla's self-development success is that they have recruited two top chip designers, namely, Jim Keller and Peter Bannon (those who are interested in the Internet, these two are true gods), as well as a number of chip talents in the instry. It's just that there are only so many talents. It's not enough for so many car companies
so I'm very excited to see the successful self-developed chip of Zero run. After all, it's really not easy to overcome so many difficulties. Although the Zero run chip is not so top-notch, with its beginning, there will surely be car companies following (such as Weilai). In this case, we will work together. Maybe one day, we will no longer need to be subject to foreign companies and have our own voice

Recently, it has been reported that Tesla has lost a great general, and it is not uncommon for senior executives to leave. This time, however, Tesla's dream of making its own chips has also been taken away
The departure of
chip R & D director may force Tesla to rely on NVIDIA for a long time in chip R & D. Embarrassingly, Tesla doesn't seem to be good at "getting along well" with its chip suppliers. In 2016, when Tesla's fatal accident occurred, autopilot used mobieye's chip. After the accident, Tesla and mobieye accused each other of being responsible for the accident. When the contract period is full, Mobieye announces that it will no longer provide technical support for Tesla's Autopilot autopilot system. p>
after that, musk turned to cooperate with NVIDIA, and later he had plans to develop his own chips. I don't know if it's just a coincidence. Musk said that on the day of his research and development, NVIDIA also released "Titan V" PC GPU on nips. This is seen by the outside world as a "break-up" signal
After Tesla's super factory in China was put into operation, Tesla not only achieved a huge increase in profits, but also won the sales champion of new energy vehicles in the world, which is a rare moment for many years. However, it seems that Tesla's magic spell has not left, and it has not been happy for a long time that it has been exposed many problems, such as "distribution rection", "wrong proct version" and so on
it is worth noting that because the online car booking agreements signed by car owners are all Tesla automobile sales service Beijing Co., Ltd., the car mainly protects its rights through legal means, so it needs to go to Beijing to fight a lawsuit, which increases the difficulty of protecting the rights of car owners
In the final analysis, why Tesla is so willful is still used to by consumers. Especially in the domestic market, the idea of foreign monks chanting scriptures is deeply rooted in the minds of consumers. Many brands make mistakes in principle, and consumers still choose to forgive. However, this time Tesla seems to be playing the iron plate. Some car owners have taken advantage of the consumer protection law to file a class action against Tesla for the problem of distribution rection. I believe that with the enhancement of domestic consumers' awareness of safeguarding their rights, there are few opportunities left for Tesla to be willfulthis article comes from the author of car home, which does not represent the standpoint of car home
However, according to the official response of Tesla China today, there is no intention of compensation. It is just a very official apology. It also indicates that it will replace the hw3.0 service for domestic Model3 users free of charge, but in fact, this is the right that car owners should enjoy. And to be honest, because of the epidemic, Chinese consumers are still willing to support model 3 even if it can't be delivered on time. Tesla's move is a great disrespect to Chinese consumers

Cai Cai's classmates not only like singing and dancing rap, but also like playing basketball, but they can't play basketball without the ball, so he went to the store to buy basketball
the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic. He said: you are a teenager who loves basketball. I'll show you the best basketball in our shop
after paying, Cai Cai rushes home with the ball and uncovers the package, only to find that the owner gives him a Huapi ball, which is the one on the seal's head in Ocean Park
Cai Cai was very angry. He went back to the store and asked the owner for a perfect explanation
"I think you're making trouble out of no reason," the owner said, "you're not an NBA player. You just play wild ball. You don't need such a good basketball."
if you are a vegetable, can you accept this explanation
at the beginning of 2020, Tesla, which has been enjoying a favorable situation in the Chinese market, has been caught in a storm of public opinion because of this kind of civet cat for Prince type distribution rection incident
Tesla Hardware: steal a beam and change a pillar
before and after the incident in China, a serious domestic Tesla Model 3 owner carefully read the list of electric vehicle environmental protection information with his car after picking up the car, and remembered that the automatic driving hardware fsdcomputer (fully automatic driving computer) reported model is hardwar3.0 chip (hw3.0)
in the process of using the domestic Tesla Model3, however, the owner found that the car could not recognize the ice cream cone and set up roadblocks when using the autopilot automatic driving assistance system of his car, so he suspected that there was something wrong with the hardware carried by his car. He later released this conjecture in the circle
this incident quickly exploded in the circle of Tesla car owners. In order to confirm the actual hardware version of his car, he and several more serious car owners dismantled his car for inspection. The result is astonishing: the hw2.5 chip with worse performance is actually assembled on the vehicle, which is not consistent with the "hardwar3.0 chip" in the vehicle list. In the circle, some owners of the imported model 3 Tesla purchased last year also found that their cars had the same rection
in other words, Tesla has reced and replaced the autopilot hardware of Model3 without explicitly informing consumers
what is the difference between 3.0 and 2.5
judging from the figures, hw3.0 and hw2.5 are only behind the decimal point. When it comes to the technology instry in Tesla's propaganda, it can only be regarded as a "resource update", not even a version iteration. However, the reality is that hw.0 chip is considered as the core of traffic light recognition function in Tesla's fully automatic driving process, and hw2.5 can't be compared with it
according to Tesla data, hw2.5 is equipped with a computing platform composed of NVIDIA drive chip, with an image processing capacity of 110fps; Hw3.0 is a new computing platform developed by Tesla and specially built for FSD. It has a single-chip computing power of 72tops and an image processing capacity of 2300fps. Compared with hw2.5, hwr3.0 has 7 times more computing power and 21 times more performance
but for this matter, the difference between hw2.5 and hw3.0 has long been unimportant to the experience. Tesla's failure to deliver according to the specifications reported in the EIA list is the focus of the incident: a brand that just created the first offline time miracle in automobile history recently is actually deceiving consumers, and musk, the spiritual pillar of "special boast" and big eyed, is also beginning to lie< On March 3, Tesla's official micro blog of China made an explanation on the HW chip issue
Tesla explained that since the resumption of proction in Tesla's Shanghai plant on February 10, based on the capacity and supply chain conditions, some models have been installed with hw2.5, and when the capacity and supply chain are restored, hw3.0 will be replaced for domestic model 3 of hw2.5 free of charge as planned. However, there is no difference in driving experience and safety between hw2.5 and hw3.0 for car owners without FSD at this stage; FSD vehicles are equipped with hw3.0 hardware
however, Tesla did not explain why it did not inform consumers before they picked up the car. Obviously, this covert solution has failed to calm the anger of consumers who have been cheated. Some domestic model 3 owners have said that they are collecting evidence and are ready to sue Tesla together
to add fuel to the fire, Tesla helmsman Musk's next response was even more surprising
in response to the incident on twitter on March 5, Tesla founder musk said, "it's strange that the owners who complained didn't actually order FSD. Maybe they don't know that if they order FSD after the vehicle is delivered, the on-board computer can also be upgraded for free. "
this response only explained the adjustment of sales policy, but avoided talking about "why not inform Chinese consumers in advance", which is very similar to his attitude towards Tesla's Spontaneous Combustion Accident in the past. In Musk's view, all the responsibility lies with the car owners, who are making trouble without reason
apology? No way< However, on March 7, Tesla's official website also released plans to upgrade hw3.0 chips for old car owners around the world. According to the plan, Tesla will inform the car owners to upgrade the hardware in the service center in batches according to the location and hardware configuration of the vehicle, and graally open the self-service online booking function. At present, reservation has been opened in North America, and will be opened in Europe and Asia Pacific in early March and early April
Tesla, this is China
it is difficult to calm the storm with a simple statement. According to the provisions of China's consumer rights law, enterprises should provide Chinese consumers with quality and quantity guaranteed things. Tesla uses high-tech to publicize. When it sells it, it stealthily exchanges it with low-cost goods. After being torn down, it also tells you that you don't need high-tech. this is actually infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers< On March 10, according to the official website of the Ministry of instry and information technology, the first equipment instry department of the Ministry of instry and information technology interviewed Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. for the illegal assembly of hw2.5 components on some Tesla Model 3 vehicles. Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is ordered to rectify immediately in accordance with the relevant provisions of the administrative measures for the access of road motor vehicle manufacturers and procts, earnestly fulfill the main responsibility of the enterprise, and ensure the consistency of proction and proct quality and safety
how important is the Chinese market to Tesla
from project approval to construction, the Shanghai Super factory miracle, which was built and put into operation in 10 months, the model 3 went offline that year, the model y trial proction, and the domestic model 3 realized 100% localization by the end of this year... Tesla is developing vigorously in China: China is Tesla's most important market in the world, musk said on more than one public occasion
Tesla Shanghai factory
the Chinese market also responded to Tesla with practical actions. In 2019, Tesla will have 45372 new insurance vehicles in China in 2019, of which Model3 will account for 33903, leading most domestic new energy vehicle enterprises; In the global delivery of Tesla in 2019, the sales volume of the Chinese market accounted for 13%. With its strong performance in the Chinese market, Tesla's financial situation can turn losses into profits
how popular is Tesla in China
in February, affected by the epidemic, China's overall car market sales fell 78.5% year-on-year, showing a knee jerk drop. However, even in this context, Tesla still bucked the trend. According to the latest sales data released by the passenger Federation, Tesla's single model 3 delivered 3958 vehicles in the Chinese market in February, accounting for about 30% of the total sales of electric vehicles in China
it is undeniable that musk, who danced vigorously at the delivery ceremony, may be out of his heartfelt antipathy to the domestic new energy companies, or his worship of musk, the "real iron man" who likes to dance impromptu at the delivery ceremony, or that Tesla electric car is so perfect and even irreplaceable, China does have a large number of Tesla fans who regard Tesla as a deity, and many "special boasters" contribute to Tesla's traffic reputation all the time
but can Musk's attitude of not taking China and Chinese consumers seriously make him feel at ease in the Chinese market in the future
I don't think Tesla has the confidence to treat Chinese consumers differently, and I don't think Chinese consumers are too blind in their pursuit of Tesla. But it is illogical that Tesla treats Chinese consumers with "simple match". After the incident, Tesla officials shirked responsibility, and musk, the leader of Tesla, called Chinese car owners "unreasonable", which made it difficult for Chinese car owners and Tesla fans to accept
it doesn't matter whether musk apologizes for his arrogant remarks, whether some car owners' demands of "one refund for three" can be realized, or whether Tesla will appear at the 315 party
there are two questions worth thinking about:
why does Tesla dare to earn money from Chinese consumers while reporting to Chinese consumers for "simple distribution"
Why do car companies that regard consumers as God abroad play word games in China
Orange turns into trifoliate orange, which is worth thinking about
