One Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty-Eight Anxiety Attack Attacks
Brothers, I have opened a new book again: Restarting Life: I can call myself ten years ago. Brothers, help me collect it and give some recommendations!
******************
Not all overseas consumers are as insensitive to gasoline prices as American consumers.
It can be said that among the world's powerful countries, except for the United States and Mao Xiong, other developed countries actually do not have cheap oil prices.
Because none of us are oil-producing countries!
Take Kangaroo Country for example, although they are rich in various metal mines and natural gas.
But if you want to talk about gasoline, then they can't.
Kangaroo Country is also a serious oil importer.
Therefore, their people are actually very sensitive to oil price fluctuations.
So after Tesla became popular in recent years, it’s not a bad idea to buy one here in Kangaroo.
After all, it is rechargeable, does not burn much fuel, and the cost of using the car is very low.
Moreover, the environment of Kangaroo Country is relatively unique. It is not cold in winter and not hot in summer.
This environment is very friendly to the use of electric vehicles, so Tesla's sales here have always been good.
However, Tesla is not cheap to buy from them, and for many people who need long-distance travel, Tesla is not so suitable.
After all, Tesla's cruising range is always more than 100 kilometers less than their own calibrated limit.
Moreover, it takes more than an hour to charge, and this is when high-voltage fast charging is used, which is not something everyone can afford.
And if it is a hybrid model, it will undoubtedly be much more cost-effective.
Unfortunately, in the car market of Kangaroo Country, there are not many cost-effective hybrid models.
Previously, Toyota's Prius was also sold on their market.
However, with the rise of Tesla, the Prius has gradually been eliminated, and even Toyota itself no longer produces this car.
The reason why this car failed to continue its popularity was due to Toyota's own technological development.
For example, the concept of the hybrid system of this car is indeed very good.
But the problem is that they use nickel-metal hydride batteries to save costs, which have limited energy density.
At best, it can support the car to travel more than 70 kilometers on pure electricity, and after about ten years of use, the battery will continue to have problems, requiring car owners to replace the battery.
The price of replacing the battery is about 10,000 Australian dollars.
You must know that the price of a new car at that time was only more than 30,000 Australian dollars. After you drove it for a period of time, hot consumers spent 10,000 Australian dollars to replace the battery.
How many consumers do you think are willing to switch?
And if you don't change it, then you will drive it as a pure fuel vehicle, and that will be the end of it.
The 1.8L engine has mediocre power, and it also carries a large battery. When driving, it feels like a machine that stretches your hips.
So used cars,
No one wants to buy it.
But Great Wall's Tank 300 is different. It's the same hybrid model, but it uses a fully intelligent vehicle management system.
The most important thing is that it uses lithium batteries, and the longest pure electric cruising range can be felt at 120 kilometers.
And the battery has a lifetime warranty. Anyway, even if you drive the car until it is scrapped, they can guarantee that the battery capacity of the car will be 80%.
It supports fast charging and is also a hard-core off-road vehicle.
If you want to talk about off-road capabilities, consumers in the country have already verified the previous pure fuel vehicles.
Go up mountains, go down rivers, walk across plateaus, and wade through grasslands.
Anyway, people have experienced the road conditions you think of and the road conditions you have never encountered before.
Finally, let me tell you that this car can be used in the city and off-road, and its fuel consumption per 100 kilometers in the city is more than 4.
If you go off-roading, don't worry about fuel consumption.
What do consumers think?
This is so damn cute, not only the consumers in the rabbit country like it, but the consumers in the kangaroo country also like it!
You must know that Australia also has a lot of non-paved road conditions to face, which is why many people in Australia like pickup trucks.
On the one hand, it is because it can be loaded with cargo, and on the other hand, it can be walked in the wild.
Of course, most owners of pickup trucks have farms or need to work on farms.
In fact, not everyone likes pickup trucks. After all, pickup trucks also consume fuel.
With this Tank 300, everyone has one more choice.
After all, this is the world's first model that claims to be able to switch between urban and off-road situations!
It has a hardcore off-road style body, but has the fuel consumption of an urban car.
When you need it, you can directly transform into an off-road tough guy.
What more could you ask for from a car like this?
So Great Wall didn’t even take it upon itself to advertise in Kangaroo Country.
Just the car reviews broadcast by overseas car reviews made this car an immediate hit overseas.
Especially Australia, one of the few countries with Great Wall agents.
Therefore, after the Chengdu Auto Show began to open orders, it was not only domestic orders that exploded.
Consumers here in Kangaroo Country are also very enthusiastic about ordering!
It turns out that Great Wall's sales volume in a month was only more than 1,000, and it mainly sold pickup trucks.
But this time, the order for the Tank 300 hybrid model alone exceeded 5,000.
Moreover, there is a continuous growth trend. Seeing this situation, the factory is extremely happy.
Because the profit of overseas orders is much higher than that of domestic orders.
After all, there are too many competitors to face in China.
And although your car is a hit, your competitors won't sit still and wait. They will lower the price to compete with you.
But overseas, this is much more standardized.
Moreover, there are mature used car markets overseas, so many car dealers dare not engage in price wars at will.
With the popularity of the Tank 300 hybrid version, Great Wall's engineering team began to think about it.
Should we install this hybrid system into their pickup trucks?
You must know that although pickup trucks have many restrictions in China, they are a very popular main model overseas.
Especially in kangaroo country, South America, and North America.
In many countries with many modern farms, their demand for tool vehicles such as pickup trucks is quite strong.
Their pickup trucks are already good to buy. If they revamp a few hybrid versions and release them, will they become a hit in the market again?
So the Great Wall Design Department first started market research to study the market potential of hybrid pickup trucks...
Just when the two dozen domestic car companies are rejoicing because of their hot models.
vw is having a hard time right now.
Now these two Chinese rabbit cars are popular overseas, which makes them even more worried.
You must know that VW cannot be compared with their big brother BBA. After all, they themselves are models aimed at civilians.
But after arriving in the Rabbit Country, special historical opportunities made them put on airs.
Positioning itself as a mid-to-high-end model.
But in other parts of the world, except for their hometown in Germany, in virtually any other region, they can't compete with Japanese cars.
In addition to the rabbit country market, in recent years, as the older group of consumers who have feelings for the public have aged, they have gradually withdrawn from the mainstream consumer market.
In addition, in recent years, they have successively launched several models that have damaged their reputation.
Their status in the hearts of consumers in Rabbit Country has been in decline.
For example, South Volkswagen's sales plummeted due to two popular models.
Although the model was secretly revised later, it is a pity that winning back consumers cannot be achieved in a day or two.
And North Volkswagen's reputation plummeted due to problems with its particle catchers, which led to increased vehicle fuel consumption.
So now they are all experiencing crises individually.
If it were before, they could just pretend to be dead and wait for consumers to forget their mistakes.
On the other hand, they are waiting for their own R&D team to seize the opportunity to come up with a new model and avenge their shame.
Anyway, they have understood the mentality of consumers in the rabbit country. As long as you come up with a product with no major shortcomings, the price will be reasonable.
Consumers are still easy to fool.
But the problem is that their new generation products haven't been released yet, but Renjia Tuguo's two brands have released two hit models one after another.
Let’s not talk about Chery. Their Tiger 8 sales have exploded.
Although it has not yet killed Great Wall's best-selling SUV, its monthly sales have exceeded 20,000.
Not only did it seize a large number of other brands' markets, it also seized a large number of small A-class car markets.
You must know that this section used to be dominated by Corolla, Sylphy and Lavida.
But now many consumers in Rabbit Country would rather spend some money and choose Tiger 8 than these cars.
Because although these cars are cheap, their fuel consumption is not high.
But consumers also know that these cars have their own problems.
For example, the Corolla's basic configuration is too serious. Although it is fuel-efficient, the car has poor power.
Not to mention the simple configuration of Sylphy, with extremely low safety and large cans.
Lavida's dual-clutch transmission has always been the most criticized transmission by many people. Because of its low price, everyone really has to choose it.
Well now, except for Chery's new Tiger 8, the package price is a bit expensive, at 180,000 yuan.
But the problem is that the price of the new Tiger 8 has gone up, but the price of the old model has gone down!
The 2.0t Tiger 8 that originally cost 150,000 yuan can now be bought for only 120,000 to 30,000 yuan.
The price difference between this price and your three A-class cars is only 20,000 to 30,000. How do you choose?
It has more space than you and more power than you. Although the fuel consumption is a bit higher, it is still acceptable.
After all, spending money can really buy you enjoyment!
It is precisely because so many consumers have begun to gradually defect that it has also put huge pressure on the public.
The original best-selling A-class car suddenly began to fail to sell.
As for high-end cars priced between RMB 20,000 and RMB 300,000, such as Tourang and Tiguan L, they have encountered strong challenges from the hybrid version of the Great Wall Tank 300.
In the past, they could still rely on their car logos and power to achieve good prices and sales.
But now the car logo is no longer easy to use. Your safety is not as good as others, and your fuel consumption is not as good as others. What do you have left?
Your underwear has been completely pulled out, so what else do you have to compare yourself with?
So seeing the popularity of other people's new cars at home and abroad, vw managers' anxiety attacks immediately broke out.
