I remember in 2018 in their first public test drive ES8 Shanghai, and Li Bin to share with the media at the dinner table, our opponent is fuel vehicles. Product strength is sufficient for standard luxury brands, but the price is approachable. In 2018 NIO Day, a five smart electric SUV ES6 debut immediately, before the prices from 35.8 ~ 448,000 yuan price subsidies, as well as the founding edition of 498,000 yuan, 100,000 use of a battery rental scheme, and apply 2018 government subsidy calculation, Wei to start with ES6 threshold will be lower than 200,000 ….
this year, an article entitled “Wei to Li Bin, in 2019 the most miserable people,” the article fire circle of friends, but in fact, for the latest sales data that, in November, Wei to deliver the amount of 2528, which ES6 deliveries to 2067, ES8 deliveries to 461. 1 to 11 months, Wei to deliver a total of about 17,400. Since the start of deliveries in June 2018, Wei to deliver a total brand car full of about 28,700.
In fact, it did so badly.
However, the product still is the core brand value, brand for the Chinese joint venture opponents, the most lacking is still the test of time and user reputation on the market, so that when readers come from “scrap Square “dominant, dismantling a mileage of 100,000 kilometers of Wei to ES8, as a result, I believe can do for Wei to the core brand, has a critical interpretation.
to start the vehicle itself states cut, the car is a founding Wei to ES8 version, but also the first production car from a year and a half open the 100,000 km to determine, first, the average mileage car approaching 220 kilometers per day, it can be inferred that a large part of the possible use for high-speed sections, and the second, long-term use for electric car, battery replacement over a hundred times, it Third, due to the severe tire wear, so the hundred mph measured results from the original 4.4 seconds, ran out due to tire slippage measured only 5.08 seconds.
but from the outside, the car really is not like running 100,000 km of car, a large part of the purchase from the owners worry-free service package, a year and a half using only suffered a rear-end, and to the factory for repair.
First of all, lift your machine set up a body, you can see the first half of the chassis, because the body platform for the electric car platform, so the chassis is very smooth, all-aluminum body structure also did not appear severe knock damage , but there is still install the front fender, and the next disassembly can be seen in the sub-frame is very clean, the motor / reducer part of the layout on a sub-frame, so even suffered a serious underpinning, that does not suffer direct injury .
At this time, from the side suspension before being disassembled on the rubber material, which can be found also retain some flexibility, perhaps, for its after 100,000 km are high-quality performance, but in addition to the use of rubber wear, long-term use will have certain sclerosis, the body will affect the shock effect, it may appear in a hardening murmur, only a year and a half in the car it is also less wear and tear on the judgment of time.
As ES8 Department standard air suspension, in fact belongs to a wearing parts, are standard on luxury cars, but high cost can improve the quality of a great degree of comfort. Meanwhile, horse brand offers gas suspension can also be adjusted according to the height of the road, but its ES8 vehicle weight up to 2.5 tons, can easily lead to leakage.
used in suspension ES8 we are all ATE brand, mostly German premium brands to use, perhaps with the same level of contrast, the failure rate is low, but compared with our traditional shock absorbers, life is still short, but the state of the car for , it can still be used normally.
In the braking part, the standard ES8 Brembo braking, but due to the configuration of the kinetic energy recovery function, can greatly reduce the consumption of the brake, the brake disc or so from the point of view brakes and no significant loss or deformation, but also the member can be replaced during routine maintenance.
As for the most in the industry questioned the changeElectrical function, will result in damage to the chassis, and a battery interface part of the damage and scratches damage, we also learned that the car has been removed from the state of the battery, you can eliminate doubt in this respect, in addition to the vehicle 10 mounting screws no slippery silk left over from the car using mileage of 100,000 kilometers, and Wei to the lifetime warranty warranty, under normal use, the average user, I believe it does not produce related issues. Meanwhile, in the future replace the use of a larger battery capacity, the battery also eliminate the problem of the recession, compared to other brands of electric cars run, Wei to the advantage of no other competitor can match.
on the vehicle body design, the vehicle body ES8 small portion of high strength steel, aluminum alloy and the rest are crafted. Of course, the purpose of Wei to do so is to lose weight, to compensate for the weight of the battery pack brought in line. You can clearly see that die-cast aluminum alloy 3 vacuum pressure, high strength, high dimensional accuracy, can be shaped complex structure, designed to promote weight reduction. The sheet 6 based mainly in the roof, the floor and the front cabin, etc., to ensure occupant safety; ES8 stringers before and after the main portion, the front crash box security applications No. 7003 (7 lines) aluminum, a total of six items . No. 7003 aluminum high strength, excellent toughness and impact energy absorption performance, used for military equipment, missiles and armor plate means.
Sometimes aluminum alloy material to achieve the same strength, may also heavier than the number of ultra-high strength steel. Therefore, the international body designed with more steel and aluminum hybrid material. Of course, this does not mean there is anything wrong ES8 aluminum body, the body Wei to aluminum ratio ES8 95.8 percent is already a breakthrough. But then 44140Nm / deg ES8 this single parameter does not reveal anything special place, but to know the Audi R8 cash torsional stiffness of the body as 40000Nm / deg, the previous generation Audi A8 is 38230Nm / deg, Cadillac CT6 is 36600Nm / deg, Volvo XC90 is 27392Nm / deg …
the more noteworthy that,ES8 the main driver and co-pilot also below the more than two longitudinal reinforcement structure, this design is not common in traditional fuel vehicles, in order to strengthen the structure is under the collision.
behind the rear-end part has encountered, and the rear beam led back panel damage after Wei to using replaceable impact beam design, in addition to you can reduce maintenance costs, but the back panel replacement to take place in artificial coating, and painting nature of the production line, or have gaps in construction accuracy.
As for the three-endurance electric cars, it was not involved in the conduct of the day, but the electric vehicle drive motor fuel compared to cars, simple structure also no complicated parts water, like our homes the fan-like, long-term use and will not generate a recession, but also can occur mileage Tesla owners of more than one million, three-respect, more need to pay attention, or computer software which lead to the probability of failure is also higher.
written later:
Wei to represent a new brand of energy on behalf of China, and other high-grade aluminum body with materials it has become the most expensive Chinese brand models ES8. The time will eventually become the most favorable referees, whether Wei to new energy in the next fight, in 2020, resisted large-scale joint-venture brands to commit its body mass and user reputation is critical, so this 100,000 km body dismantling attracted attention of all parties.
This is not a cut and thrust of the game, but a war like a marathon endurance, or an old one: to Wei, power!
