Nowadays, the automotive industry, especially new energy models, has many so-called innovative designs, and the news of hidden door handles causing rescue hazards has been attracting attention. In this issue, the shell blowing has been discussed, and the live broadcast room is constantly hot, and the opinions collide with sparks-
Event PlaybackIn an accident on a highway section, a woman was suspected of being trapped in the car due to the design of the hidden door handle and could not be rescued in time. The scene ** shows that the family car that the lady was riding in was squeezed under a truck, the front of the car was seriously damaged, the hidden door handle could not be bounced open, and the bystanders tried to rescue but had no way to do it for a while, and the girl's cry for help through the car glass was heart-wrenching!
In addition to not being able to bounce off normally in a car accident, many Northeast car owners with hidden door handles have taken the lead in learning the dilemma that the door handle is frozen and cannot be opened in the ice and snow, and slowly pouring it down with hot water has become a necessary ...... for car owners
In the past, I felt that so many car designers should fully consider the safety of the car, and fully demonstrated the scientificity, functionality and fashion of the hidden door handle, which must be far beyond the traditional design to be widely used, and it should be natural to consider it for our consumers, but the car accidents I have seen in the last few times make people feel cold.
When the design of hidden door handles is becoming more and more fashionable, there is no way to reach out in time to rescue, this hidden door handle problem is indeed worth discussing.
In fact, the hidden door handle is not only available today, it has appeared on Mercedes-Benz cars decades ago, but Mercedes-Benz did not continue to insist on it, did not continue to do it, and did not blow this "demon wind"!Mercedes-Benz's car may not have been seen by everyone, but since the appearance of Tesla's hidden door handles, all kinds of models are swarming to do this, and people can't help but be deeply worried, always feel that sooner or later there will be problems in this link!
1. Hidden door handles reduce wind resistance and improve battery life Is it valuable?
Tesla brought hidden door handles into the Chinese market, which was carried forward by Chinese brands, and now has become the standard configuration of almost all new energy vehicles, as if it would not be in the mainstream without this design. When I asked my friends from the manufacturer why they wanted to engage in this thing, most of them replied that it reflected fashion, technology and reduced wind resistance, which can improve the endurance of 5 to 10 kilometers.
We all know that the range of electric cars has shrunk severely, so is there any value in this design that may be risky?Is this a false proposition?In the early years, when SUVs first became popular, there were different voices, saying that it was big, high wind resistance, and high fuel consumption, but when everyone actually bought an SUV, in all fairness, who cares about that wind resistance?
The same hidden doorknob, there are mechanical and completely electronic, we now discuss and find that the electronic hidden doorknob is indeed a very big safety hazard!Nowadays, many users think that hidden doorknobs are a high-tech gadget, and there is actually a key cover with a physical link to open, but most people don't know how to open it!In an emergency, it is indeed not like a traditional fuel vehicle that can be directly pulled out or pried open in time with a tool!
According to Tesla's official website.
2. It is difficult for the whole industry to follow Tesla
Back to Tesla, it has become the object of emulation by everyone in the industry, to put it to the extreme, Tesla's fart is fragrant!Tesla has a half-spoke steering wheel, and everyone follows closely;Tesla doesn't have physical doorknobs anymore, everyone removes them;Tesla said to get rid of all the physical buttons, and everyone followed ......This kind of industry-wide blind following is simply incomprehensible!
It's like adding a little Moutai to ice cream and it sells well, and adding a few drops to coffee also sells out, and then Moutai appears on all kinds of things, some of which you can't imagine!The variety of sauce flavors is really "drunk"!
From hidden door handles to half-spoke steering wheels, from sauce-flavored lattes to sauce-flavored sleeves......Epidemic is sometimes a disease, such as COVID, influenza A, ......
I believe that the senior management of the manufacturer is much smarter and more rational than us, and how to resist the "**" in the market environment of following the design trend and intensifying involutionIs life supreme, or is the trend supreme?
3. What other strange design makes you helpless?
We often talk about brain-dead design, first, there is no underlying logic, first.
Second, there are indeed potential safety hazards, and the third is some ***, as if it is dragging you out of your Xi comfort zone!In fact, in addition to the doorknob, there are many designs that make people laugh and cry
For example, the BMW sports car i8, the three-cylinder engine and the motor make the driving quieter, and the result is directly added a sound sound, which makes you feel more like driving!It is said that other cars have similar designs, and the designers believe that even though they are trams, the sound of the engine is needed to stimulate the hormones in the car, which makes people excited!
In fact, in addition to sound simulation, hidden door handles, semi-circular or square steering wheels, and panoramic sunroofs that allow many ladies to wear umbrellas and hoods in the car for sun protection, there are also so-called lifting large screens that increase the sense of ceremony are also full of doubts - now almost all the physical buttons in the car have been killed, what if this large screen fails and can't rise?What if you can't see any parameters, do you let people open blindly?
We are not antiques, we support innovative design, but the premise is based on the perspective of safety, all designs that are not based on the premise of safety are brain-dead behavior!No matter how innovative the car is, safety is always the most important!Safety should always be above fashion trends or design styles!
