A few days ago, a question about the braking performance of the ideal L8 model sparked a rather comic debate. A car owner with rich driving experience staged a realistic version when driving this mid-to-high-end ideal L8 priced at up to 360,000 yuan"Fast & Furious", but instead of speeding on the track, the protagonist performs a unique "brake adventure" on a seemingly calm summer evening slope.
According to the woman, her husband was driving around a bend at a speed of about 25-26 yards on his way home from work when he pressed the brake pedal four times, but the car did not slow down like a naughty child. Faced with such a strange situation, the battle-hardened veteran driver did not panic, but calmly chose an open area, and successfully used the wall to successfully stop the vehicle "voluntarily", which is comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster.
However, when they reported the matter to the ideal staff the next day and sent the vehicle for inspection, the reply they received was a ridiculous statement. The staff insisted that the test data showed no obvious braking action, and believed that the accident was due to the excessive speed of the vehicle (about 40 yards) and the decline in braking efficiency caused by a small area of water on the road, and not the quality of the vehicle itself.
For this explanation, the owner's family obviously can't buy it, after all, this new car has only been in the hands for a few months, and the previous braking performance has been stable and reliable, how can it suddenly "make a mood" after entering the underground garage? In order to seek the truth, the owner's wife enlisted the help of reporters, hoping to uncover the mystery with the help of ** power. Unexpectedly, when the reporter came to the 4S store, the staff in the store actually played "**No one is willing to respond positively."
In desperation, the reporter had to contact the headquarters of Li Auto. The technicians at the headquarters patiently explained that through the data recorded by the vehicle, they found that when they analyzed the situation at the scene of the accident, the owner only made a braking response at the critical moment when he was about to hit the wall, but due to the influence of factors such as vehicle speed, water accumulation and braking distance at that time, the collision occurred. At the same time, the technical staff also sold a pass, saying that for privacy protection, the specific data is inconvenient to disclose, but they are willing to face to face with the owner to interpret in detail.
Although the current incident is still confusing, Li Auto has shown the demeanor of a large manufacturer and offered to bear more than 10,000 yuan in car repair costs, which can be regarded as a temporary end to this brake doubt. However, do the majority of readers and friends feel a little unsatisfied with this ending like the author?
Let's take a look together, is it the footwork of the "old driver" that has deviated, or the "ideal L8" really dropped the chain at a critical moment? Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, the safety of smart cars is undoubtedly worthy of our in-depth attention and discussion. In the next issue, we will continue to dig up more such cases and take a look at those interesting stories and lessons that happened on the road, so stay tuned!
