Driving a Tesla Model 3 and then a BMW 320 completely changed my perception of electric cars

With a budget of more than 200,000 yuan, I test-drove BMW 320, Tesla Model3, BYD Han and other models, and my friends around persuaded me to choose BMW, but I didn't expect that after driving the tram, it completely changed my mind.

First test drive model3, at that time was more impressive at the traffic light intersection, the green light was on, lightly stepped on the electric door, the feeling of pushing the back followed, almost the girlfriend sitting in the back row got motion sickness, the whole road, other cars were left behind, he became the "most beautiful boy" on the road, I have to sigh, the same are two or three hundred thousand cars, the gap between oil cars and trams in terms of power is really too obvious.

The test driver also deliberately opened the assisted driving mode, automatically following the car, turning on the lights to change lanes, overtaking, and other traffic lights, these basic operations are all completed automatically by the vehicle, and the driving level is completely comparable to the old driver, and I have seen a lot of similar ** before, but when you experience it in person, I am still amazed by the current technology.

After the test drive model3 and test drive the BMW 320i, to be honest, the feeling of entering the car is obviously different, I always feel a little "old-fashioned", decent, the central control screen, mechanical buttons, even the frustration of shifting is the same, or this is the common feature of oil cars, so I don't think there is anything special with other oil cars.

After the test drive, I decided to give up the oil car and choose a new energy vehicle, but my friends around me persuaded me to choose a BMW car, after all, the brand is there and the new energy vehicle is not mature, saving money is not worrying, but I still insist on my own idea. Think about every time you go to the gas station and pay for it, you are reluctant, 20t displacement, 1 kilometer is almost 1 yuan, and the cost of 1 kilometer of the tram is sometimes less than 1 cent, so I am tempted by this.

Not to mention the advantages of other aspects, spend more than 200,000 to enjoy the power of more than 400,000 fuel vehicles, 6 seconds of 000 acceleration, intelligent, full of sense of science and technology, oil cars to trams, more just want to experience the technology to bring a different car experience.

However, many times the imagination is beautiful, after driving a new car for 3 months, after experiencing various car use scenes, and being poured cold water again and again, it is only then that I suddenly woke up and understood many things.

Before buying a car, the sales said that you can install a home charging pile, after buying a car, I ran a few trips to the property and the street, that is, it doesn't make sense, because I don't have the right to the parking space, and the owner is not willing to sign a "liability exemption agreement", so I can only choose to give up the home charging pile.

There are more than two kilometers of charging piles closest to the community, usually as long as there is time, see that the power is less than 40%, sometimes even if there is more than 60% of the power, as long as you pass through the charging station, you want to go in to fully charge, and the power is more than a sense of security.

There is no time during the day, generally charging after work at night, but this time period is also the peak period, the electricity price is slightly expensive, some charging piles electricity, service fees, parking fees are calculated, one kilowatt-hour of electricity is almost close to 2 pieces, and some charging piles, the power is lower, the place is a little bit, and one degree of electricity is calculated as long as 1$5.

No way, in order to save a few cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity, I would rather queue up, wait in the car for an hour or two, or run a little farther to charge, think about it carefully, when I used to drive a fuel car, I would not think about finding a cheap gas station in order to save a few cents, but now it is very economical to save a kilowatt-hour of electricity, and I want to find a cheaper one. It's really like netizens ridiculed: "Since driving the tram, I feel that I have changed and become more able to settle accounts."

In the process of daily car use, I slowly found that some functional designs look really atmospheric, but the practicality is not strong, for example,Bezel-less doors, concealed door handlesIn winter, ice and freezing rain, many car owners have encountered the scene where the door handle is frozen and cannot be opened, although it is not a big problem, but it affects the car experience.

Besides, a family is bigger than a familyPanoramic canopyIt looks very atmospheric and cool, especially when you hold hands with your girlfriend and look at the starry sky, not to mention how warm it is, but in summer, many cars do not have sunshades, and the air conditioner can't be rescued under the sun.

The functions of the whole car are on the large central control screen, sometimes it is inconvenient for voice, or the voice cannot accurately describe the demand, at this time, you have to click on the large screen many times to find the function, not only worry-free but also affect driving.

A car friend complained: he borrowed a friend's Tesla, because the technology is not very good, after a period of bad road, the speed of the car is fast, the chassis knocked on the stone, and later after after-sales testing, it was confirmed that the battery pack module needs to be replaced, the cost is as high as 140,000, although there was insurance at the time, but there is no free battery warranty service after maintenance.

When I bought car insurance in the second year, I found that some car insurance companies did not underwrite the insurance directly after obtaining the vehicle information, and some car insurance platforms had very high premiums and were not cost-effective.

I often hear people say that after you get used to driving a train, you won't get used to driving a petrol car. I believe that most new energy vehicle owners do not deny this, but it still depends on the actual situation of the individual and the scene of using the car.

For example, it is inconvenient to install charging piles at home, and there are relatively few public charging piles around, and the annual mileage is less than 10,000 kilometers, which is a simple commute, and there are not too many requirements for all aspects of vehicle performance.

In short, at this stage, pure electric vehicles still have a lot of deficiencies in charging, battery life, stability, etc., spend a few more hours queuing up for charging on holidays, battery life anxiety when the power is insufficient at high speed, etc., if you can accept these shortcomings, then the new energy vehicle is indeed a good choice, on the contrary, it is more worry-free and trouble-free for oil vehicles!
