20 14 is called the first year of internet cross-border car making. The state has liberalized subsidies for new energy vehicles to the whole country. In order to expand the new energy vehicle market, Musk announced the opening of all Tesla technology patents. In this context, a group of people on the Internet began to build cars, which made these enterprises known as "new forces to build cars".
These Internet people can never get rid of "Internet thinking". For car companies, products are always fundamental, especially the new category of "Internet plus pure electric" created by the new forces of car making. The new forces of making cars need to make products in a down-to-earth manner and do them in quantity in order to survive better, not just by the innovation of business models.
At present, the new domestic car-making forces have been gradually shuffled, but at present, only Weilai, Tucki, Ideality, Aichi and Weimar have achieved batch delivery. In 2020, which is considered as a watershed of new forces in car making, it will be even more difficult to survive if the market is still not opened through high-quality products and differentiated from other brands.
Weilai Automobile was established in October 2011April1October, and now it has delivered three models in mass production. In June this year, Weilai Automobile delivered 3,740 vehicles, which reached a new monthly high after breaking the record in May. Since March this year, Weilai Automobile has achieved month-on-month growth for four consecutive months, and the delivery volume in June increased by 179% year-on-year. At the same time, Weilai delivered 65,438+003,365,438+0 vehicles in the second quarter, and the first single-season delivery exceeded 10,000 vehicles.
At the same time, Weilai has opened 130 experience stores all over the country, including 22 Weilai Center and 0/08 Weilai Space. The sales network has covered the whole country? 84 cities. Moreover, since April 5 this year, one power station has been completed every week on average, totaling 135 power stations, covering 59 cities. Weilai official said that more than 50 power stations will be built in 2020.
In fact, as early as last year, Tesla also obtained a credit line of 654.38+0 billion yuan from Chinese banks, and used this line to establish Tesla's Shanghai factory, which improved the operation of Tesla's business in China. Weilai China will get a lot of bank loans at lower interest rates in the future, which will help its new product research and development and enterprise operation. From then on, it will also have the confidence of hard Tesla.
Red dot observation
In 2020, affected by the epidemic situation in COVID-19, the macroeconomic downturn and the entry of foreign car companies, the new domestic car-making forces spent the most difficult half year. In the end, only 3-5 new forces can run out of the battlefield, so it is necessary to land on the beach. While other new car-making forces are still struggling on the beach, Weilai Automobile has landed.
