On October 18 last year, the day of the birthday of Foxconn boss Termine Gou , Foxconn officially released its pure electric car brand Foxtron and brought three new cars, namely Model C, Model E and Model T. The names of these three cars are obviously a simultaneous to Tesla .
At that time, some people said that before Foxconn's mass-produced car was built, the plagiarized new car name was lost. Some people also say that this is Terry Gou's anger, because Musk once laughed at him for not being able to create an electric car , which is far more complicated than a mobile phone. He wanted to repay the person with his own way.
However, how to speculate on the public opinion side, Foxconn has been on the right track on the road to car manufacturing.
Almost a year later, the official picture of Foxconn Model B was officially released recently. The actual car is expected to be officially unveiled on the annual Technology Day on October 18, and may also bring the first pickup model.
is different from the Model C, which was estimated to be a pure electric mid-size SUV at the time, which will become Foxconn's first model. This Model B is a hatchback, similar to the Volkswagen ID.3.
In the view of some industry insiders, perhaps Foxconn has two considerations. First, the manufacturing and research and development of hatchback cars should be less difficult than medium-sized SUVs, which can speed up the launch and launch of new cars; second, the price of hatchback cars is lower than that of medium-sized SUVs, which can open up the market better.
Although I have not seen the arrival of Foxconn Model C, which can "kill" Tesla Model Y, to be honest, being able to achieve such progress in just one year shows that Foxconn's manufacturing capabilities are not blown out.
At the same time, the parent company of Nazhijie Automobile, which is Yulong Automobile , has also contributed to the acceleration of Model B. Although Nazhijie has been exposed online, there is still a car foundation accumulated over the years.
However, facing this Foxconn Model B that broke out halfway, netizens fell into deep thought after seeing the official picture, and many sharp-eyed melon-eating people also found many interesting places.
For example, from the side, the appearance of this car is very similar to BYD Dolphin or Volkswagen ID.3, especially Volkswagen ID.3. It cannot be said that it was carved out of the same mold, but the overall feeling is difficult to get rid of the suspicion of "counterfeiting". The picture below
is the side of Volkswagen ID.3. You can compare this similarity, especially the part of the C-pillar drawing red circle, giving people the feeling of imitating others.
For example, the front face design of Model B, if the front face light group is not lit, it really makes people unable to distinguish the front and back. It feels a bit heavy and light, and it seems to be electrified for electrification.
However, not all Foxconn Model B is "borrowed by" its predecessors. For example, its rearview mirror is much more innovative and looks very technological. I guess it will talk about how to use it at that time. Of course, good-looking is good-looking, and as for whether it is easy to use or not, it is another matter.
In this way, just like the title of the article says, is it Dong Shixi Xiaopin? Or do netizens don’t understand aesthetics? This is the controversy caused by Foxconn's new car.
Overall, this time Foxconn Model B plays the role of a barbarian, making the already lively new energy vehicle market more gunpowder-flavored. Of course, although electric vehicles and OEM mobile phones have some similarities, they are generally two completely unfamiliar fields. Whether Foxconn can replicate its miracle in the mobile phone OEM field in the new energy vehicle market will take time to verify the final verification.
