澎湃湃 car weekly talk ｜ extremely smashed the peers, Li Xiang deceived netizens.

This week, the action of upgrading the 8155 chip for free made Wei Lai look silent, and Lan Tu looked in tears. Backed by the big brother, this time "broke the industry rules." The same is Geely. While doing things with extreme krypton, it releases radar brands through two-line operation. Geely’s ambition for the future can be seen. Then, Li Xiang, who has a bad temper, still loves people so much. This time, he has to open wheat for aluminum alloy or steel.

Krypton 001 upgrades 8155 chip for free.

Event overview: On July 11th, ZEEKR OS 3.0 was released, and a new ME version with long battery life was added, starting at RMB349,000. Among them, as part of the upgrade of ZEEKR OS 3.0, Krypton’s free upgrade of 8155 chip for users in the cockpit domain has caused a lot of applause in the industry. Some bloggers from the media have experienced the extremely krypton 001 car after replacing the 8155 chip, which greatly improves the smoothness and the voice interaction response is also very fast.

comment: There are many points criticized by users in the early delivery of Krypton 001. First of all, the price involves the new year’s node of state compensation and slope retreat, and the rights and interests of users in different periods are not properly handled; Then the configuration during the publicity was not carried on the real car, and the color of the canopy was not right; Car chips are 820A low-end chips and so on. In a word, as a new power brand supported by Geely, the first model of Krypton has a bad start.

At the same time, the industry will upgrade the 8155 chip from Weilai and collect 10,000 pieces from users for comparison, but the delivery volume of Krypton 001 is only 20,000 units, while the volume of friends is already more than 100,000 units. This wave of extreme krypton is to lose small money and earn big money. The full screen of "Congcong YYDS" is fascinating, but if the 8155 chip was loaded in time at the beginning of the birth of Krypton 001, would it be better than the free upgrade now?

After all, the reason why I made up my mind to replace the 8155 chip for free is to solve the problem that car owners complain a lot about the car being stuck. However, there are still some problems on the online complaint platform, such as motor reduction, abnormal door noise, audio-visual system failure, and electric trunk failure. After the free "big meal", I need to continue to polish the technical level of vehicle manufacturing for users who like it.

The brand of Geely RADAR was released, and the pure electric pickup RD6 appeared.

Event overviewOn July 12th, another new brand, RADAR, created by Geely Automobile was officially released, with the Chinese name "Radar". Ling Shiquan, CEO of Radar Auto, described the radar as follows: the brand value of radar is carefree lifestyle, unbounded exploration spirit and seamless environmental protection concept, and the brand positioning is mobile multi-charged space. Radar is not only a brand that pays attention to science and technology, but also a brand that advocates nature and humanity and emphasizes multiple outdoor lifestyles.

At the same time, its first pickup RD6 based on the vast architecture of SEA made its debut. The new car accelerates for 6 seconds, and the pure electric cruising range reaches 600km.

commentAs another new business of Geely in the electric field, the electric pickup truck of radar is more like a forward-looking "ambush" layout. Because there is no particularly suitable debut position for "electric pickup truck", no matter from the restrictions on pickup trucks in various places or the usage scenarios corresponding to pickup trucks. In the eyes of Chinese people, pickup truck is still the attribute of tool car. To turn it into a "diversified lifestyle" promoted by radar, it is necessary to further cultivate consumer concepts.

On the other hand, perhaps inspired by Tesla’s Cybertruck pickup truck, Geely hopes to occupy users’ minds before this catfish enters China.

In view of the material problem of the ideal L9 suspension, Li Xiang angered netizens.

Event overviewSome netizens left a message under Li Xiang’s Weibo, saying that they found that the suspension of L9 was made of iron, but the manufacturer painted it like aluminum alloy, which made them feel puzzled. Then Li Xiang made a real name statement, and responded that "the cast iron didn’t stipulate that it must be coated with black paint, and the ideal L9 rear five-link big transverse swing arm adopted a much more expensive anti-corrosion coating, with a better anti-corrosion effect of more than 200% and higher cost. The color of the anticorrosive coating is silver, and we have never said that it is aluminum, and aluminum is not a high-end thing. "

Later, Li Xiang added, it is suggested that netizens who think that aluminum is better than steel and iron should tear down the reinforced column structure of their houses and replace them with aluminum, so as to truly integrate knowledge with practice.

He also said: under the structure of the rear big five-bar linkage, the stamped structural steel plate of the transverse swing arm can achieve better strength and weight than cast aluminum. You can experience all full-size SUVs and see which of the models with the best suspension uses aluminum in this position of the rear transverse swing arm.

commentThe topic of who is high-grade and who is low-grade about iron and aluminum has never stopped in the automobile industry. The author has seen the media teacher suck the parts of the car with a magnet at more than one event to judge whether the parts of the car are made of iron or aluminum. But this argument is actually meaningless. The vehicle structure is very complicated, and each part has its most suitable material application.

Because of its light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance, aluminum alloy is indeed preferred by more high-end cars, but it also brings another problem. Once a bump occurs, it can’t be restored by sheet metal repair, and parts must be replaced, which is an extra expense for the owner. Some users, on the one hand, prefer aluminum alloy, on the other hand, it is too expensive for maintenance. Car companies also need to take these comprehensive factors into account.

In addition, steel technology is also improving, and thinner and higher strength steel is not worse or even better than aluminum alloy in various properties.

More importantly, Ideal L9 has never advertised that its suspension is made of aluminum alloy, but the color of anti-corrosion coating looks like the outer layer of aluminum alloy.
