Chapter 743 Strike While the Iron is Hot: Second and Third Models
After paying the down payment, applying for a loan, and completing the formalities, it only took more than an hour for Li Haoyu to drive away in his new car.
As for the old car, I traded it in directly at the dealership. Xingchen's estimated price was not low, and there was a 10,000 yuan replacement subsidy.
Driving the new car onto the road, at a traffic light intersection, when the green light came on, Li Haoyu stepped on the accelerator.
The whole car shot out like a rocket, and the powerful push on his back pressed Li Haoyu directly against the seat.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds, this is the acceleration only achieved by top supercars.
Li Haoyu had never experienced this before, but he finally got to experience it today.
Fortunately, there were not many cars on this road. After only two or three seconds of experience, Li Haoyu released the accelerator, his heart pounding.
It’s great, so great, this tram is really fun to use.
My irritable heart calmed down, I turned on the music, and the top-notch speakers presented a top-notch audio-visual experience.
Coupled with the unique quietness of the tram, Li Haoyu felt that its luxury was even higher than his own Mercedes-Benz, whether it was the riding experience, the driving experience, the atmosphere created by the interior, or the quality of the audio system.
Comparing it with my own Mercedes-Benz, it seems that apart from the Trident, Mercedes-Benz really cannot compare with this car.
Li Haoyu was just one of the people who picked up their car today. Early this morning, countless car owners who placed orders yesterday received calls to pick up their cars.
Because Xingchen Yaoguang had already started mass production before the press conference, there are now more than 20,000 cars available in direct stores across the country. In addition to the exhibition cars and test drive cars, at least 20,000 cars will be delivered quickly.
At the same time, Yaoguang's production capacity is also sufficient, with the current monthly production capacity being around 33,000 vehicles.
"Wow, I didn't expect to receive the car today after placing the order yesterday. It's so cool! I can only say that the driving experience is perfect, much better than my previous BMW 5 Series. I'm in love with electric cars..."
"I've already picked up the car. I didn't expect its speed. I drove it for a day and it was perfect. I drove a friend's Tesla for a while before, and this Tesla felt like a bare-bones house in comparison..."
"I've already picked up the 200D four-wheel drive version. Wow, the acceleration is so fierce, it feels like a supercar. It really outperforms everyone I see..."
"I picked up the 200D long-range version. I don't like aggressive driving, just regular family use. But the acceleration is incredible! It's way better than my previous A6. I've driven over 130 kilometers since picking it up today, and the range has only dropped by 110 kilometers. That's ridiculous! My daily commute is about 40 kilometers. I think I can go a month without charging..."
"I picked up the 100D long-range version without any optional extras. I usually use it for family use, commuting more than ten kilometers to and from get off work, and I think this range is enough. I thought the lowest configuration would be very low, but I didn't expect it to have almost all the configurations I could think of..."
On this day, many car pick-up reports appeared on the Internet.
These are reports from real car owners, a large portion of whom previously owned luxury brands. Around 40% are BBA owners, and after picking up their cars, they have given Xingchen a very high evaluation.
There are also some customers from Tesla who knew a lot about Tesla before, had test-driven it, and were very satisfied.
Now that I have driven the Xingchen, I know what a good car is. Its various configurations directly beat Tesla.
Even the sporty design that Tesla is so proud of is completely absent on this coupe.
The Xingchen brand is a high-end brand that BYD has planned for a long time. Coupled with various advanced technologies and tuning by various masters, this car is really tuned to perfection.
In just one day, deliveries reached over 16,000 units. This volume and reputation have once again boosted Yaoguang's order intake, with total orders now exceeding 80,000 units, all from customers who paid a 5,000 yuan deposit.
At the same time, a data banner appeared on the official website, showing the number of undelivered orders, which currently stands at over 60,000 units.
That is to say, customers who place orders now may have to wait up to two months.
Owners of the Genesis Edition will have to wait even longer, as it's more difficult to manufacture. Like a supercar, it has to be custom-made, as many owners add custom options.
Genesis Edition owners typically wait two months or even longer for their cars, but these owners don't need them on a regular basis.
Yaoguang sold out quickly, and there was a cheer at the Xingchen headquarters.
Xingchen is a luxury brand with a relatively high price point. Although Yaoguang has a high configuration, the cost is relatively high.
However, the profit of a bicycle is still very high. According to the current production capacity, the net profit of a bicycle has reached about 20,000 yuan.
This is already very good. You should know that the profit of BYT's cars is only 8,000 to 10,000 yuan per vehicle.
Of course, this profit is still not as high as Tesla's, but Xingchen is not in a hurry. What they are pursuing now is not net profit, but market share and building their own brand.
Once the brand is built and the production order volume increases, costs will be further reduced and profits will be further increased.
"Mr. Su, these two cars are the ones we're going to launch next. This one is the travel version of Yaoguang, named Zhuyue. This one is an off-road vehicle, named Kaiyang."
Xingchen's R&D center, Su Yang and Liu Fengyu came to the R&D center again.
Here Su Yang saw two cars again, Zhuyue and Yaoguang's station wagons. They looked the same except for the butt.
However, station wagons have their own advantages, the biggest of which is their large space.
"The Moon Chaser is the travel version. Not only can the rear seats fold flat, but the front seats can also be folded down. Add the inflatable cushions that come with the car, and the interior space becomes a huge double bed. At the same time, the chassis is higher, and the off-road performance is even better..."
Zhuyue is the travel version, and the travel version is designed for travel.
There is a luggage rack on the roof, the interior space is larger, and the off-road performance is stronger after the chassis is raised.
"Kaiyang, our first off-road vehicle, is comparable to the Maodou Y. Ninety-five point five percent of the parts used by Zhuyue, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang are universal."
The technician introduced this, which made Su Yang laugh.
This gameplay is now being used by all major car companies, and Xingchen is now also playing it very smoothly. It looks like three cars, but strictly speaking, it is just one car.
The benefit of this approach is that production costs are significantly reduced because 95% of the parts are the same, including the chassis, suspension, interior, and so on. The cost of producing 100,000 units of the same part is different from producing 1 million units. This is one of the reasons why Tesla's profits are so high. Now Xingchen has also learned this method and is doing it even better.
