In recent years, new energy and intelligence have been the two major trends in automobile development. In order to differentiate from fuel vehicles in terms of product image, new energy vehicles often emphasize "sense of technology". However, although is innovative in some of the "technology" configurations derived from this, it often cannot stand the test of practicality. What are the car designs that make people want to complain about? Today, let’s take a look together.
. Panoramic Sky Curtain
Reason for complaint: no sunshade, summer high temperature
In recent years, a number of new energy vehicle models have raised the "futuristic sense" to a new level in terms of styling. Among them, the panoramic sky curtain seems to have become an indispensable configuration. For example, models of new forces such as Tesla , NIO , Xiaopeng all adopt this design called the panoramic sky curtain.
Why do automobile brands that advocate a sense of technology love integrated roof glass? First of all, the panoramic skylight can make the overall vehicle look cooler, and at the same time bring better lighting performance to the car, which will make people feel full of style. Moreover, current manufacturers have also arranged "color-changing" skills for the sky curtain, which can quickly change colors through the vehicle control to achieve adjustments to isolate ultraviolet rays and light transmittance. Such design and the "technology" it brings help enhance consumers' "desire" to buy cars.
However, many car owners said that the panoramic sky curtain is more of a "skinned goods". Although the manufacturer has always promoted the panoramic sky curtain to protect against ultraviolet rays, it does not mean complete heat insulation (infrared). In summer, the panoramic skylight seems to be an "electric blanket", with heat waves continuously entering overhead. Moreover, for the sake of beauty, after the panoramic sky curtain is added, the electric sunshade is often nowhere to be placed, so it cannot be blocked. In addition, the characteristics of inability to turn on, difficult to clean, and easy to get dirty have also made many netizens hate it.
2. Cancel the physical key
Reason for complaint: inconvenient operation and low recognition rate
Like the development of mobile phones, physical keys are indeed tending to be replaced by on-board screens. For car companies, building on-board screens in a larger and larger direction can also maximize the vehicle's sense of technology and intelligence. However, the practice of some car companies canceling all physical buttons and integrating functions into the central control screen has made many consumers sneer.
Here comes the experience that was once bad. Some car-mounted screens are not only fingerprint collectors, but also have low resolution and are highly reflective.
In addition, the logic of the on-board system is unclear, the matching voice system does not respond in time, the recognition rate is low, the touch screen is not sensitive, and even stuttering or crashing, which makes people call to keep the physical buttons. After all, the built-in function buttons on the car screen are not suitable for blind operation, and sometimes even affect driving safety.
3. Hidden door handle
Reason for complaint: It is not very practical and reliable
Tesla Model S was one of the earliest mass-produced cars to use hidden door handles, which also made the hidden door handles, which were used by fewer models at that time, a high-end car equipment.
Of course, hidden door handles also have many advantages, such as integrating them with the car body through telescopic means, effectively reducing the wind resistance caused by the exposed door handle; when the key is approached by the vehicle, the hidden door handle will automatically extend out to welcome the guests, waiting for the owner to enter and retract after driving, which also caters to the sense of ritual and technological required by electric vehicles.
However, although it is full of gimmicks, many consumers do not pay. In terms of practicality and stability, hidden door handles are indeed inferior to those of proven traditional door handles. In actual use, there will be no-brain moments when is used. For example, in the case of freezing in winter, the hidden door handle may be frozen and cannot pop out normally.
Summary
For the above three "technology" configurations, it can indeed give consumers a "light" feeling. However, with a limited budget, the subsequent use and maintenance problems of this type of configuration will increase. Once there is a problem, it is easy to make people get angry and collapse. Of course, some people think that being handsome is enough, and appearance is justice, and this can overcome all shortcomings. What do you think about this?
