　　 EV has become a dazzling new star in the new energy market, with its sales volume reaching an astonishing 33,094 vehicles in November, which explains the product slogan — — People’s scooter. It is worth mentioning that the sales of individual users accounted for more than 96% of the sales of Hongguang EV in November, which means that about 1,100 individual users become owners of Hongguang MINI EV every day.

　　Tesla Model 3 reached the Accord with a score of 21,604 vehicles, ranking 11th in the domestic car sales list in November, up 78% from the previous month, and breaking through the 20,000 mark in the domestic market for the first time. From January to November this year, Model 3 surpassed Scorpio with a cumulative sales volume of 111,645 vehicles, closely following Passat, ranking ninth in the domestic car sales list this year.

　　In terms of new forces, Weilai Automobile delivered a total of 5,291 new cars in November, exceeding 5,000 for the second consecutive month; In November, a total of 4,224 new cars were delivered, up 342% year-on-year, of which 2,732 were delivered in a single month, setting a record for the fastest delivery of a single model of the new power brand. LI, which has only one model of Li ONE, delivered a total of 4,646 new cars in November, an increase of 25.8% from October, and set a new record for monthly delivery. Bicycle sales ranked first among the new forces in China. A total of 3,018 new cars were delivered in November, and the cumulative sales volume has exceeded 40,000 since listing.

　　With the popularity of Wuling Hongguang MINI EV, the popularity of Tesla Model 3 and the efforts of new car-making forces, the sales volume of new energy vehicles in the domestic passenger car market is getting higher and higher, which has become an important force that cannot be ignored.

　　Event review:Recently, the media noticed that the name of the 2021 Frankfurt Motor Show, which was previously announced to be moved from Frankfurt to Munich, was also changed to IAA Mobility. At the same time, software, IT and other technology companies other than automobile manufacturers are also welcome to join us. In addition to displaying new cars, we also welcome various automobile solutions to be displayed here.

　　Details decoding:

　　The official of IAA said in July this year that Munich will replace Frankfurt as the host city of IAA in 2021. The new auto show will be held from September 7 to 12, 2021 in Germany for six days, which is shorter than the 13-day exhibition time of the previous Frankfurt Motor Show.

　　Among the recently revealed information, IAA not only announced the new exhibition name — — IAA Mobility also announced that the 2021 Munich Motor Show will be divided into three parts, including summit meeting, blue path and open space. Exhibitors will not only be limited to car companies, but also welcome technology companies such as software and IT to show their car solutions at the summit.

　　With the development of electrification, intelligence and networking in the automobile industry in recent years, automobiles are not limited to a single means of travel. The brand-new Frankfurt Motor Show changed its name to IAA Mobility, which is also a manifestation of adapting to the changes of future travel scenes. The new auto show will also present the possibility of future traffic through more diversified displays.

　　Previously, in the column "Engineers at Eight o’clock", we also discussed the topic of car companies participating in CES International Consumer Electronics Show and whether auto shows are needed in the future. Interested friends are welcome to click on the link below to watch.

　　Event review:According to Reuters news, Baidu plans to contract or form a joint venture with a traditional automobile manufacturer to produce its own electric vehicles. At present, it has discussed the possibility with FAW Group and has not reached any agreement.

　　Details decoding:

　　Although it has not been officially confirmed, the news that Baidu plans to develop car-making business immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the capital market. On the day of news exposure, Baidu’s share price soared by nearly 14%, and its market value returned to 60 billion US dollars in the past year and a half.

　　In response to this news, Baidu said: "No comment on market rumors". On the other side of the scandal, GAC said that it has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Baidu, and news of further cooperation will be disclosed to the market; Geely said that it did not know the details; FAW did not respond.

　　Just as people were speculating about one of the three choices, Freeman Shen, chairman and CEO of Weimar Automobile, praised Baidu’s blog post about making cars, which aroused everyone’s association. However, neither Baidu nor Weimar responded to the incident since then.

　　In fact, FAW, Geely, GAC and Weimar have all reached strategic cooperation with Baidu, and cooperated in Baidu Apollo autopilot platform and Baidu car networking system. Among them, the cooperation between FAW and Baidu started as early as 2017 and played an important role in the Apollo project. Weimar brought the third production model of Weimar, which was jointly developed with Baidu Apollo platform, at the "2020 Apollo Ecological Conference" held on December 8, and said that the new car will be officially launched in 2021.

　　Up to now, there is no news that Baidu will carry out the car-making project in what form, but recently Alibaba and SAIC jointly launched a brand-new smart high-end brand Lantu, and Huawei, together with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, plans to build a brand-new high-end smart car brand under Changan. In this context, it is logical for Baidu to join hands with car companies to build smart high-end car brands, relying on its own achievements in autonomous driving and car networking for many years.

　　Event review:Recently, some foreign media photographed more than 40 aerial videos of Model Y parked in Tesla’s Shanghai factory. Foreign media speculated that the domestic version of Tesla Model Y had been mass-produced in the Shanghai factory. However, previous news showed that the domestic Model Y is expected to go offline at the Shanghai factory in early 2021.

　　At the same time, a screenshot of the Model Y rear-drive long battery life version was madly transmitted on social media, claiming that the price of the domestic Model Y four-wheel drive long battery life version will be the same as that of the domestic Model 3. At the same time, I also wrote "See you in three weeks", that is, in early January 2021.

　　Details decoding:

　　On foreign social media, Tesla CEO elon musk replied "I am hoping to be back next month! (I hope to go back next month), which confirms the news that the domestic Model Y will be officially released in January, and also implies that Musk will release the scene in Shanghai.

　　At present, Tesla Model Y has been opened for selection, and Model Y will be the first to launch two models, namely the long-life all-wheel drive version and the Performance high-performance version, with a pre-sale price of 48.80-535,000 yuan. The new car is expected to start mass delivery in the first quarter of 2021.

　　Model Y is the first medium-sized pure electric SUV launched by Tesla, and it is also another model that has been given high hopes after Model 3.

　　According to the application information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the length, width and height of the domestic version of Tesla Model Y are 4750/1921/1624mm and the wheelbase is 2890mm respectively. Equipped with ternary lithium-ion battery, its battery pack capacity is 77kWh, energy density is 161Wh/kg, and NEDC cruising range can reach 594km.

　　As for the information about the suspected selling price of 298,800 yuan circulating on the Internet, it is somewhat different from the pre-sale price of the previous open selection. However, at present, the subsidy for pure electric vehicles in China is limited to the selling price of 300,000 yuan. Judging from the previous strategy of continuous price reduction of Model 3, it is not impossible for the future selling price of Model Y to be less than 300,000 yuan.

　　　　　　　　Event review:Recently, the Management Committee of Lingang New Area of Shanghai Free Trade Zone issued a special plan for intelligent networked automobile industry (2020— 2025), it is mentioned in the plan: promote the first demonstration of highly autonomous driving (above L3 level), promote the conditional opening of highly autonomous vehicles on high-speed and elevated roads for testing and demonstration application, and take the lead in piloting the commercial application of self-driving manned and loaded goods without safety personnel in specific areas.

　　　　　　　　Details decoding:

　　The plan proposes to give full play to the institutional innovation advantages of Lingang New Area, win the support of relevant departments of the state and Shanghai, and declare the national-level vehicle networking pilot zone, national-level quality inspection center, transportation industry R&D center and smart transportation demonstration project; Apply to the relevant departments of the city to study and promote the decentralization of relevant powers, authorize the management committee of Lingang New Area to issue management measures, be responsible for the acceptance, organization and supervision of testing and demonstration applications within its jurisdiction, and guide industrial innovation and development in the fields of industrial development, traffic management, road testing, standards and specifications, and application demonstration; Promote the pilot demonstration of highly autonomous driving (above L3 level), promote the conditional opening of highly autonomous vehicles on high-speed and elevated roads for testing and demonstration application, and take the lead in piloting the commercial application of self-driving manned and loaded goods without safety personnel in specific areas.

    On the same day, the "Open Test Road for the Second Batch of Self-driving Cars in Lingang New Area" was launched. At present, the cumulative total mileage of open test roads in the new area has reached 118.2 kilometers.

　　At present, China has started pilot and open tests related to intelligent traffic-level autopilot in some areas of several cities, and more than 200 autopilot test licenses have been issued in various places. As a special economic functional zone formally established in August 2019, Shanghai Lingang New Area has the first advantage in promoting the development policy of high-tech industries. It will be helpful for the development of our autonomous driving and other industries to take the lead in opening up autonomous driving above L3 level to high-speed and elevated test.

　　At present, the high-speed pilot function launched by brands such as Weilai, Tucki and Tesla can theoretically reach the L3 level of autonomous driving (drivers are still required to be vigilant by holding the steering wheel under the current regulations), and the L4 level autonomous vehicles developed by domestic autonomous driving companies such as Baidu and Wen Yuan Zhixing have also completed considerable tests. Opening high-speed and elevated tests will play a positive role in the development of autonomous driving industry, and it is expected that more cities and regions will follow this policy in the future.

　　　　　　　　Event review:On November 17th, Zhiji Automobile, a high-end intelligent pure electric vehicle project jointly built by SAIC, Pudong New Area and Alibaba Group, released some technical information about its products in the future. At the same time, it is announced that its two new cars will be officially released on January 13 next year. The official said that it will join hands with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited in depth. The new car will be the world’s first lithium-doped battery technology, with an energy density of 30-40% and a cruising range of 1000km. At the same time, the new car will adopt a redundancy scheme of software and hardware architecture compatible with the upgraded lidar system. Click on the picture below to learn more.

　　　　　　　　Details decoding:

　　In the past, BAIC had ARCFOX and FAW Hongqi, and later, Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an, Changan, Huawei and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited jointly planned to build a new brand, and Great Wall planned to launch a brand-new high-end intelligent electric brand. After the birth of a large number of new car companies, traditional car companies have also created a number of brand-new car brands in the era of smart cars.

　　SAIC, which is rooted in the Magic Capital, is no exception. Recently, it launched a billion-dollar Big Mac project — — "Zhiji", the first round of financing reached 10 billion yuan.

　　What kind of car does Zhiji want to build? On November 17th, Zhiji held the first media sharing meeting more than half a month after the official announcement of the brand. In the artistic center, the official announced the cooperation between Heatherwick Studio, the brand partner of Zhiji automobile, and teamLab, the artistic partner. The former will participate in the design of the appearance, interior and charging pile of Zhiji automobile, and the latter will participate in the design of human-computer interaction and digital cockpit.

　　Of course, Ji Ji announced more than that. The official said that it will join hands with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited to launch the world’s first battery technology of "silicon-doped lithium battery". The energy density will reach 240Wh/kg, which is 30-40% higher than the industry average. The cruising range will reach 1000km, with 0 attenuation for 200,000 km, which can realize "never spontaneous combustion".

　　At the same time, with the country’s further liberalization of high-precision maps, by 2022, a full-scene continuous "zero-takeover" autopilot experience can be realized in some roads in first-tier cities. Within the scope permitted by policies and regulations, in 2021, some Shanghai core supermarkets will realize the "automatic parking service" function of high-frequency scenes. It can be expanded to more first-tier and new first-tier cities in 2022.

　　Zhiji’s new car can realize the flexible configuration of perception systems such as vision, millimeter-wave radar and lidar, and the first production car can realize the redundancy of software and hardware architecture of lidar system. The new car will adopt a new central computer integrated electronic and electrical architecture, which can realize OTA push update. Through the set of multiple bottom controllers, the chassis suspension can be adjusted in time according to the driving scene. For example, before driving to Panshan Highway in Moganshan, the system can switch to mountain mode in advance.

　　Zhiji officially said that Zhiji Auto A and B products will be released globally in Shanghai Center on January 13th, 2021, among which the first production car is a car. At the Shanghai Auto Show in April, Zhiji Auto will bring three new cars, among which Car A will be pre-sold and delivered at the end of the year. (Text: Pacific Auto Network Micco)

At the beginning of this year, I went to Times Town in Songjiang to test drive the BYD Tang 100 bought by my friend, and later wrote a blog titled "After such a long time, I finally tested the BYD Tang 100". A few days ago, he told me that a new generation of 2018 BYD Tang DM (hybrid version) prototype cars have arrived at various 4S stores. He has been to see it several times and feels very excited. He suggested that I also go and see it. I contacted the BYD direct store near the company (it is said to be the only one in Shanghai), and the clerk replied that although there is no test drive yet, there is a prototype car in the store that can be electrified and ignited. Welcome to see it at any time. So, taking advantage of the relatively empty work this afternoon, I immediately rushed to take a look in the heavy rain.

This is a red BYD 2018 brand new generation Tang DM (hereinafter referred to as’ brand new generation Tang DM’). My first impression is that the color is very bright, and the whole car feels a little "shorter" than the Tang 100 I have experienced before? In fact, the parameters are compared: the length, width and height of this new Tang DM are 4870*1950*1725, while the old one is 4815*1875*1725, so the two are actually the same height. The visual change of "becoming shorter" is actually caused by the new car becoming longer and wider. By the way, among the new energy vehicles I have been paying attention to recently, Weilai ES8(5022*1962*1753mm) is the largest, followed by Tang DM, while Baiteng M-Byte(4850*1940*1650) is the third and Roewe Marvel X(4678*1919*1616) is the third. In addition, Tesla’s Model X is 5037 * 2070 * 1684-so it is longer, wider and flatter than other new cars. …

Before, my family leader was not very satisfied with the shape of my friend’s old Tang 100, and felt that it was too much like Lexus, but she had a good evaluation of the shape of this new generation Tang DM. Personally, I don’t really care about the "dragon face" design or the suspended roof or the currently popular penetrating taillights, as long as the new car looks smooth and doesn’t look too similar to other brands (it’s really not easy for domestic cars to do this). Obviously, the new generation of Tang DM is completely acceptable to us in terms of modeling. On the internet, everyone basically has a positive evaluation of the shape of this new car. Well, it is really necessary to get rid of the "Build Your Dreams”logo on the rear of the car that looks like a" secondary two "!

Because it is a hybrid version, the left rear side of the new generation Tang DM body is the fuel filler and the opposite position is the national standard charging socket. At present, the new generation of Tang DM can still get the Shanghai card for free in Shanghai, but it takes about a month to apply for the green card, such as reviewing the charging position and doing personal credit information. Considering that the subsidy for new energy vehicles in Shanghai may change next year, I also asked about the pure electric drive of Tang EV. However, the clerk said that it is not clear about Tang EV except that it will be launched at the end of the year. He also said that if you only drive in the urban area, or if the radius of activities does not exceed 150 kilometers, it is actually more worry-free to choose the pure electric version-but the car price may be higher.

At present, this brand-new generation of Tang DM in the store is the second top model with a price of 279,900 yuan. The clerk pointed to its 22-inch feet and told me that this car should have only 20-inch wheels as standard, but if it is decided before September, it can be upgraded to this 22-inch wheel and Brembo professional brakes for free. In fact, the upgraded configuration is basically consistent with the flagship (329,900 yuan) whose 0-100 acceleration is only 4.3 seconds, which is quite cost-effective! However, because I am still in the wait-and-see stage for the new car, I still want to wait for Tang EV, although this offer is not small.

The previous Tang 100 car interiors always gave me a little "local" flavor, but this has been obviously improved in the new generation of Tang DM. In the words of my friend in Songjiang, it is "the overall texture has reached a higher level". Although I think there is still a gap between the details (such as material collocation, curve and straight line application) and my XTS, at least it is not easy to pick out the thorns at once: at least the soft parts are soft and the hard parts are hard, and even the red stitching on the leather is true! Moreover, because the central control part uses a large flat plate to solve everything, the "sense of technology" in the carriage is much higher than before. I noticed that there is no seat memory on the door at present, but the clerk immediately told me that because this is a test car, the officially sold sub-top version has three sets of memory linkage (seat, steering wheel and exterior rearview mirror). Well, this function is very important for my family where two people drive alternately.

The steering wheel is good in workmanship and feel, and the big "Tang" logo is more pleasing to the eye than BYD. After sitting in the front seat and adjusting the seat to a lower position, there is still a punch on my head, so the head space is still relatively rich. However, this should also be related to the fact that the sunshade of the panoramic sunroof of this car is a thin sunshade fabric similar to Mercedes-Benz GLC, rather than a whole sunshade.

As early as the first generation of Tang was listed, many media praised BYD for being willing to pile up all kinds of "high-tech" equipment in the car, but on this new car, there are all functions such as keyless entry/one-button start, ambient light, 360-degree panoramic view, ACC adaptive cruise, lane assist, full LCD instrument panel, seat ventilation/heating, internal and external driving recorder and so on. However, to my regret, the HUD head-up display that has been used on XTS has not appeared in any version of the new generation of Tang DM-this is a special configuration that doesn’t matter if it is used, but once it is used, it can never be returned.

The DiLink intelligent networking system of this car is also a big selling point. Of course, in my opinion, it is a large Android tablet (12.8 inches and 14.6 inches) that can be rotated electrically (by operating on the screen or pressing keys on the steering wheel). Two days ago, some media compared it with three mainstream in-vehicle intelligent systems, Zebra and GKUI, and the evaluation was that the other two were not as open and playable as DiLink. In fact, since DiLink is really an Android tablet, theoretically you can install all kinds of third-party apps on it and do whatever you want while driving (co-pilot operation). The operation fluency and response speed (including voice control) of this tablet have indeed improved greatly compared with the previous generation of central control, but to be honest, it has not achieved the experience like iPad.

Many third-party apps have been installed on this new generation of Tang DM that I have experienced (only three or four kinds of music are played), and it feels smooth to open, apply and switch various operations. But the problem is that many apps are displayed vertically by default, so when the screen was originally displayed horizontally, as soon as you click an app (such as Baidu map), it will automatically rotate the screen to an upright position-sometimes you have to press the button again to turn it back. I hope that in the future, the DiLink system will enable all kinds of apps to start on the horizontal screen by default through OTA, otherwise it is inconvenient and unsafe to control the big screen while driving.

Of course, I also listened to the car audio system of the new generation of Tang DM. It is said that the new generation of Tang DM, which is equipped with top and sub-top, adopts a 12-speaker system (no brand name), but to be honest, it sounds far from my XTS. The low frequency is full of sense, but the middle frequency is tight and the high frequency is not very transparent. Perhaps this kind of sound is enough for users who like to "move and hit" when driving, but for me, I may still try to modify it.

This brand-new Tang DM in the store can be electrified and ignited, but it can’t be driven out for a test drive. From the appearance point of view, the new generation of Tang DM is similar to Tang 100 in the layout of gear buttons and has the same function. After pressing the start button, the car driven by pure electricity is silent and completely unaware that the car has started; After the HEV mode is enabled, the engine intervenes, and the noise inside the car is not obvious at this time. According to the clerk, on the one hand, this is because the front window of the new car uses double glass, and there is also a newly designed sound insulation cotton under the engine cover, so the noise introduced into the compartment will be much reduced; On the other hand, the whole power system has also undergone major changes, so the noise of the gasoline engine itself has also decreased. Of course, if you want to enjoy pure quiet driving all the time, it is more suitable to choose EV version.

Finally, there are a few things I want to say:

First of all, I personally don’t need this 7-seat version of the new generation of Tang DM: there are two people at home, plus occasionally taking my colleagues out, five seats are enough. Even if I bought seven seats, I guess I have put the last two positions flat all the year round to increase the luggage storage space. In addition, I heard that 7-seater cars are slightly more troublesome than 5-seater cars in terms of annual inspection, travel tax, etc., so although it is not difficult to get in and out of the third row of this car, I still think it is more accounting to buy the 5-seater version;

Secondly, in my eyes, the new generation of Tang DM has beautiful shape, large space, rich technology configuration, 4.5s acceleration, pure electric drive of 100 kilometers, and mixed fuel consumption of 7-8 words … these are the advantages that make me feel excited; The BYD brand, no HUD, and the need for audio transformation are not intolerable shortcomings. As for the sub-top with less than 300,000 yuan, the pricing of the Shanghai brand is even more "conscience". However, Tang DM actually has a "shortcoming" that I can’t make up my mind: it doesn’t have automatic driving assistance like Tesla or Weilai.

Ok, I admit that L4/L5 is unrealistic for the current domestic traffic situation, but can the L2-level autopilot that can make Li Xiang, a "car and home", endure many shortcomings of Tesla Model X and remain infatuated with it? Besides enabling ACC adaptive cruise and lane keeping at high speed, can I also enjoy the worry-free functions such as automatic lane change overtaking and automatic car following on urban expressways? Yes, even if BYD really has this function, it is not enough for me to trust it like Tesla AP2.0 (in fact, my hand has to be held all the time), but since it is a masterpiece of domestic new energy vehicles, can BYD take a step closer in this respect?

Now it seems unrealistic to expect a new generation of Tang DM to realize this function, so is it possible to surprise me in this respect on the Tang EV to be released at the end of the year?
