TeslainproductThe quality problem is widely criticized.Recently, Tesla CEO Musk is working with the industryAnalystIn an interview with Sandy Munro, Tesla’s quality control problems were admitted for the first time.
Musk said in the interview: “We spent some time to really solve the production problem. During the previous increase in production, we found that the paint did not dry. If we find out earlier, we can solve it earlier. Speeding up the production line requires an extra one to two minutes. Let the vehicle paint dry, but there is actually not enough time to dry the paint. This is an example.”
“Yes, our production is like hell.”
Musk also admitted that the seat of the early version of Model S was terrible: “Probably the worst seat of all the cars I have ever taken”, which stimulated the Model 3 to design more comfortable seats.
“Persuade back” car buyers: wait and buy
Just sold 500,000 units in the past year
In the interview, Musk said: “A friend asked me when should I buy a Tesla? My answer is, either buy at the beginning or wait until production stabilizes. Because in the process of production acceleration, the output must be straightened. It is indeed very difficult to achieve perfection in all details while rising.”
The latest financial report data shows that in 2020, Tesla will deliver 499,600 vehicles throughout 2020, which is far from Tesla CEOElon MuskThe KPI for “delivering 500,000 vehicles” set at the beginning of the year is only one step away.
Tesla also said that the delivery statistics announced this time are slightly conservative, and the final delivery figures may vary by 0.5% or more.

The agency also stated that a faulty touch screen can cause serious safety issues, including the failure of the rearview mirror/reversing camera to display images, and the failure of the windshield defogging and defrosting systems, which “may reduce the visibility of drivers in bad weather.” .

Before trying to “throw the pot”, the State Grid directly “please check yourself”
Xinhua News Agency: Too arrogant
It is worth noting that Tesla has repeatedly been criticized by domestic consumers for quality problems and insufficient after-sales.And Tesla’sattitudeHas always been quite “arrogant”, mainly “throwing the pot”.
A few days before the “recall door”, Tesla again “threw the pot.”
On January 30, Jiangxi Metropolitan Channel reported that a consumer in Nanchang, Jiangxi had purchased a Tesla model 3 that was only 6 days old. It could not be started after charging at the Tesla charging pile. After inspection, it was found that the vehicle’s inverter was burned out. As for the cause of the burnout, the person in charge of the after-sales service stated that due to the excessive current of the national grid, the instantaneous current rushed into the car during charging was too large, and the inverter was burned out.
As for the compensation matters, it is even more speechless. The person in charge said that they can only replace the damaged parts for Mr. Tu free of charge. But Mr. Tu disagreed. He believed that Tesla should provide a return service for such a serious failure after only 5 days of purchase. However, the customer service told him to solve the problem of the car. Currently, he can only communicate with the Tesla Center.
Regarding Tesla’s after-sales personnel’s claim that the State Grid current is too large for the vehicle to be damaged, in the early morning of January 31, State Grid Nanchang Power Supply Company responded late at night: “It is recommended that Tesla ask professionals to carefully find the cause of vehicle charging failure.
State Grid Nanchang Power Supply Company clarified that Tesla’s own charging station has its own unique chargingTechnical standardStandards, Tesla electric vehicles are directly connected to and used with Tesla’s special charging device, rather than connected to the Tesla electric vehicle by the power line; in addition, the power line voltage is stable during use, and other surrounding electrical equipment is also All normalthe work, Meets the power quality requirements set by the country, and reserves the right to pursue relevant false statements.
Tesla, who is accustomed to dumping the pot, apologized for the first time on February 1, saying that the specific cause of the current overload was still under inspection. At present, the owner Mr. Tu hopes to return the vehicle, but Tesla is currently only willing to replace the damaged parts for free, and the two sides are still negotiating.
Subsequently, Xinhua News Agency commented: In response to consumers’ doubts, one cannot understate, let alone be arrogant.
Tesla on the run: profitable for six consecutive quarters
Every 100 Tesla models are accused of 250 problems
Tesla ushered in a year of “quantity change” in 2020. It sold nearly 500,000 sales in a year, and set new records for delivery and output, bringing huge benefits to Tesla.
The fourth-quarter financial report showed that Tesla’s revenue was US$10.744 billion, higher than the expected US$10.4 billion, an increase of 46% from the US$7.384 billion in the same period last year; earnings per share were US$0.8, lower than the market’s expected 1.03 US dollars, compared with 0.41 US dollars in the same period last year, an increase of 95%.
This is the sixth consecutive quarter of profitability for Tesla and the first “profitable year” since its establishment in 2003: Tesla’s revenue in 2020 will be $31.536 billion.Year-on-yearIncreased by 28% for the full yearNet profit721 million U.S. dollars, compared with the same period in 2019LossFor 862 million US dollars.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk on the phonemeetingShang said that the updated Model S will be delivered in February and will increase the production of Model 3 in China to more than 5,000 vehicles per week.
However, behind the rampant production and sales, Tesla’s quality has been repeatedly criticized.
According to the 2020 US Market New Car Quality Study (IQS) report released by JDPower, Tesla’s initial quality score is 250PP100, which means that every 100 Tesla models will have 250 problems, ranking bottom. In the 2020 US “Consumer Report” reliability ranking, Tesla ranked second from the bottom.
According to incomplete statistics, since 2020, there have been more than ten Tesla electric vehicle “out of control” accidents in China. In every “out of control” accident, the driver described the failure of the brakes and automatic acceleration of the Tesla car during the incident.
Prior to this, the domestic media Pinwan published an article “Tesla China Reveals Season 3” on December 25 that broke the news of Tesla’s China area, which pointed out Tesla’s quality problems.
For example, the article said that Tesla Shanghai SuperfactoryThe unqualified parts will disappear, and a person interviewed by Pinplay “speculates that these bad parts may have been loaded into the car”;
When the demand for output reaches a critical point, Tesla will reduce the quality and “put the defective parts, that is, defective products, directly online.” In addition, it also lowers the vehicle factory standard. “For example, it used to be 80 points to leave the factory, but now 60 points are enough,” Tesla insiders told.
With TeslaengineerExclaimed, “This (Shanghai factory) car is completely another car, and it is a defective product.”
“We can’t recall. After discovering that there is a problem with the owner’s car, we can secretly replace it,” he said at the meeting: “For example, when the car comes for maintenance or the owner requests a replacement, it can be replaced.”
It only values productivity.

As of the latest closing day, the stock price was US$852.23.Market valueIt was US$807.8 billion (over 5.2 trillion yuan), an increase of over 900% in more than a year, making it the fifth-highest company in the United States by market value.
