Although buying a second-hand car is the most affordable option for consumers, it will always cause people to worry about choosing accidental cars, submerged cars, overhaul cars and other problem vehicles. In fact, compared to physical devaluation (tangible loss), the "original car manufacturing quality" factor mentioned in the comprehensive analysis of second-hand cars is often overlooked. In addition, the source of used cars, price trends, and recall are also important factors in judging whether a used car is worth buying. As a leading domestic platform for collecting information on defective automobile products, will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of second-hand models of various brands based on massive big data analysis, so as to provide you with direct and effective reference information. The evaluation objects in this issue are Tesla China Model 3 (hereinafter referred to as Tesla Model 3) some models of the year. For detailed analysis, see the following.
1. Model year analysis: 2019-2021 models are all available
In China, when it comes to which pure electric vehicle is the most popular, I think many people will think of Tesla Model 3. That's right, in just two years after Tesla's Shanghai plant was put into production, the Model 3 sold in China was already unmatched by other competing models. In 2020, the domestic sales of Tesla Model 3 were 137,000, and the huge sales volume also prompted the rise of the second-hand car market. At present, Tesla Model 3 has accumulated a certain amount of car sources in the used car market. Today we will take a look at how this car performs in the used car market.
The domestic Tesla Model 3 began to accept reservations on the online official website in May 2019. Only one model of the car was launched in the early stage. It uses a single-motor rear-drive structure with a maximum power of 202kW. The battery pack uses a ternary lithium battery, NEDC The maximum cruising range under working conditions is 445km. In terms of appearance, the new car almost completely continues the design of the imported version, except for the three Chinese characters "Tesla" at the tail, the other design is exactly the same as the imported version. The new car is extremely simple in appearance and interior, and the whole car has a very obvious family style.The streamlined body can ensure that the vehicle has a lower drag coefficient. All the functions of the interior are integrated in a large central control LCD screen. In addition, there are no other bright spots in the cabin.
Starting in April 2020, Tesla has successively launched a variety of battery life versions, which can be simply divided into standard battery life, long battery life and high-performance versions. Among them, the two models with standard endurance are equipped with ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries, both of which use a single-motor rear drive structure. The maximum motor power is 202kW, and the maximum cruising range is 445km and 468km, respectively. The long-range versions of the two models are equipped with higher energy density ternary lithium batteries, with a maximum battery life of 668km. The two models have slightly different configurations in terms of individual configurations. The later versions also have corresponding discounts in terms of price. . The high-performance version uses a dual-motor four-wheel drive structure with a maximum motor power of 339kW and a cruising range of 600km. The official 0-100km/acceleration only takes 3.4 seconds.
Among the 2021 models launched this year, Tesla Model 3 has cancelled the long-range version, while the standard version of the three models has a maximum range of 468km. All batteries are replaced with lithium iron phosphate battery packs, which are divided into 202kW and 220kW Two kinds of power. The high-performance version is also divided into three models. The battery uses a ternary lithium battery. The dual-motor four-wheel drive system is equipped with two powers of 339kW and 357kW, and the maximum cruising range is 605km. In addition, the 2021 model has been adjusted for some configurations. The chrome trim of the new car adopts a black design and is equipped with a new model of rim. In terms of configuration, the heat pump air conditioner is added, and the steering wheel heating, glove box USB interface, electric tailgate and other configurations are provided.
At present, in the domestic second-hand car market, Tesla Model 3 has just completed domestic production and only two years ago, but the market sales are performing very well, and there is not much difference in the configuration of the 2019-2021 models. The main difference is reflected in the battery life and The price of the new car. On the whole, the 2019-2021 models are in the range of options.
2. Market price analysis: 2019 and 2020 models are relatively more cost-effective
Normally,At the time of the iteration of automobile products, the sale of old models has a large discount due to inventory clearance, and sometimes even the price of second-hand cars is "upside down". So, what is the current second-hand car market for Tesla Model 3? The car quality network integrated used car home, Guazi second-hand car and other second-hand car platforms quotations, and comprehensively get the market's selling car source price range for consumption者 Reference.
Judging from the above-mentioned used car prices, due to the short listing cycle of Tesla Model 3, the price of the used car market is on the high side. Among them, the price of second-hand cars for the 2019 and 2020 models was about 65% of the new car guide price that year, and the price-performance advantage is relatively obvious. The second-hand car prices of the 2021 model are still strong, and the price/performance ratio is relatively low. Therefore, considering the factors such as the difference in appearance of iterative products, the price of second-hand cars, and the later use tax of vehicles and ships, both the 2019 and 2020 Tesla Model 3 second-hand cars are in the range of options.
3. Second-hand car source analysis: The car source in the first and second-tier cities accounted for the highest proportion of 2020 models
When selecting second-hand cars, whether the market car source is sufficient is also one of the key considerations for consumers one. If the car supply is sufficient, on the one hand, consumers have more choices, on the other hand, it also increases the opportunities for further bargaining. And if the car source is relatively insufficient or very few, it may have a greater impact on whether consumers continue to buy the car. The car quality network refers to the data from the Guazi Second-hand Car and Second-hand Car Home platform, and the statistics show that the current national second-hand car sources for the 2019-2021 Tesla Model 3 are: Guazi second-hand car releases 43 car sources, second-hand cars之家 released 333 cars. From the perspective of the proportion, the 2020 models occupy the absolute main force in the market, and there are also a certain proportion of the 2019 and 2021 models.
Judging from the regional distribution of used car sources, the sum of the proportions of Tesla Model 3 used car sources in the six provinces/municipalities of Zhejiang, Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Fujian is close to the national total. 70%.Among them, the proportions of vehicles within one year and one year old are relatively high.
IV. Quality word-of-mouth analysis: There are a few complaints about the 2020 and 2021 models
Consumers tend to ignore the "original car manufacturing quality" factor when choosing a second-hand car, but in fact they are choosing a second-hand car It is a very important indicator. To this end, the car quality network based on a large number of real car owners complaints, through professional data analysis, to evaluate the quality of Tesla Model 3 products, from which to find possible batch quality defects, to provide consumers with a more direct and effective reference information.
According to the statistics of the car quality network, from January to June 2021, the car quality network accepted a total of 23 complaints about Tesla Model 3 models. The complaints mainly came from the 2020 and 2021 models. From the perspective of typical complaints, "charging failure" complaints are relatively large, but only in single digits, while other failures are distributed more scattered, and the number of complaints is also in single digits. On the whole, the complaints of Tesla Model 3 models of each model year are kept at a low level, and there are no common defects, and the short-term quality reputation is relatively stable.
V. Analysis of the recall situation: There is a total of 1 recall record in China. The design problem is mainly because the active cruise control system is prone to accidental collisions when the driver is driving the vehicle, leading to a sudden increase in vehicle speed and prone to collisions, rear-end collisions and other accidents. The vehicles involved are models produced from December 19, 2019 to June 7, 2021. Here, the car quality network should remind consumers that when buying a second-hand car, you need to call the manufacturer’s customer service or go to the 4S store to check whether the vehicle has been processed according to the recall plan before, so as to prevent the vehicle from still being "ill" on the road. Security risks.
Summary:
Through the above analysis, it is not difficult to see that when buying a second-hand Tesla Model 3,Although there are complaints about some of the 2020 and 2021 models, the number of complaints is at a relatively low level, but you still need to pay more attention when buying. Considering all factors, the 2019 and 2020 models have outstanding performance in terms of cost-effectiveness, market retention, and quality reputation. It is recommended that they should be given priority when buying.
