Since I completed a 48-hour trip to Guangzhou and Shantou with Model
Well, after I learned that Tesla launched the domestic “special edition” Model S/X at the beginning of the year and made a major update to Autopilot in mid-March, I couldn’t help but feel agitated...
After 4 months, I found this cute fat guy again.
On the day I picked up the car, when I learned that a white Model .
is also a white Model
Let’s first talk about this fresh interior.
Since the car is relatively new, the mileage has not exceeded 1,000 kilometers when I got it, and the interior is basically the same as a new car. So without being too "polluted", I have to say: this white interior of
is really amazing! ! !
Completely white seats, plus white trim panels on the left and right door panels, the lower part of the center console and the armrest box. When you open the car door, you will see a pure white world like a snowfield, with visual effects exploding!
But! This is also the most annoying part.
Let’s put it this way, this flawless white interior is simply an artifact that tortures patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. You must know that my pants are either jeans or dark-colored casual pants. Every time I get in the car, I will have an unspeakable feeling of guilt...
Hong Kong True, dark pants are not a big deal, after all, they are short No impact is visible within the time frame.
But in order to keep its beauty from being damaged, I must always beware of all kinds of snacks, ice cream, drinks, etc. that may appear in the car.
Everything that will have a devastating impact on this interior can make your heart skip a beat just by appearing in the car. That feeling, not to mention the irritation
...
would also like to remind all prospective car owners. If you are not prepared to wipe your car 7 times a week, I think... it is better not to choose white interior...
In addition to the interior color, as mentioned earlier, the special thing about this car is that it is an improved new national standard model.
In mid-October 2017, Tesla announced a major update for the Chinese market: Tesla has developed Model S/X models specifically for the Chinese market that are compatible with the "new national standard" and equipped with dual charging interfaces .
Specifically, the new model has both DC and AC (DC/AC) dual charging interfaces. In addition to using Tesla’s own charging network, Tesla owners can also use third-party charging that meets the “new national standard” charging standards. Pile for charging. The location of the corresponding charging port has also been slightly changed. This change has also been jokingly called the "perfect scar" by some old Tesla owners.
Old models
New models
The difference is here
In fact, the charging port that was changed to look like a fuel tank cap really has no impact on the appearance of the entire vehicle. Maybe I'm used to seeing fuel vehicles, so I basically don't notice its existence when I use it normally.
Moreover, after most Tesla supercharging piles were transformed into the new national standard interface, the new models directly provide charging ports compatible with the new national standard, which saves the tedious steps of plugging and unplugging the national standard adapter back and forth for charging on the old models. .
Old car owners get the new national standard adapter for free
Another point is that in the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety" released on January 1 this year, new energy vehicles are required to "with speeds below 20 kilometers per hour. Sound a warning to remind everyone that the vehicle is moving."
The "Technical Conditions for Safety of Motor Vehicle Operations" clearly stipulates
So starting from New Year's Day, all Tesla models produced for China have added a new "Pedestrian Alert" function.
Naturally, there is also a new national standard version of Model X.
When this function is turned on, the vehicle will emit a specific sound when the speed is lower than 20 km/h to warn pedestrians ahead.
And if you don’t like this feature, Tesla also provides you with the option to actively turn it off and on again in the central control menu.
It is worth noting that this new "pedestrian warning" function is not just a simple software update, but also involves subtle hardware changes - Tesla has added an additional external speaker to the new model.
In other words, old car owners cannot obtain this function through a simple software upgrade.
Push updates received during the test drive
However, this impact is minimal, because this "Pedestrian Warning" function has been actually experienced...
It seems to have no effect
.
Believe me, if the pedestrian in front really didn't notice the sound of tires and ground friction coming from behind, then you can't expect him to concentrate on catching the "pedestrian beep" that is not much louder...
The following is Let’s talk about the update of Autopilot, which received rave reviews some time ago.
When I last took a long-distance test drive of Model
I found the test drive photos at the end of last year.
Especially when it comes to automatically changing lanes: the action seems simple and crude, and not friendly enough to the passengers in the car.
It’s just the flaws that don’t cover up the flaws. This does not prevent Autopilot from becoming a powerful tool to distinguish Tesla and other brands’ models.
I still remember a "soul torture" issued by a certain media veteran not long ago:
"Is there an essential difference between Tesla Model 3 and Chevrolet Bolt?"
Emmmmm...
You said that Autopilot will evolve, count it as one What?
Pictures from the Internet
After this upgrade, all 8 cameras in models equipped with Autopilot 2.0 hardware have been enabled. Under the premise of ensuring safety, after actual testing and software upgrade, Autopilot, the obvious improvement is mainly concentrated in the following three aspects:
· The automatic lane changing action has been greatly improved to (the action is softer)
· The lane keeping ability has been enhanced (frequent small corrections of the steering wheel have been significantly reduced)
· Lane The recognition ability is enhanced (Autopilot can be turned on on a deserted greenway)
Especially the first point.
In the past, when Autopilot was used to automatically change lanes, the vehicle would usually swerve in the direction the moment it was triggered, often accompanied by a sharp acceleration of the speed (when the current speed did not reach the preset value), and switch to the next lane. The rear direction suddenly returned to straightness.

Such an operation can easily cause the passengers in the car to be shaken back and forth so dizzy that the scene outside the car becomes boring for a while.
To put it bluntly, it means motion sickness. The updated Autopilot of
does not have this problem, and the lane changing action is now much softer. To put it simply, is more "experienced".
Mom no longer has to worry about getting dizzy while driving after buying a Tesla~
Now she only has to worry about money.
In fact, after testing by car owners at home and abroad, it is said that this Autopilot improvement has a key point - vehicles can recognize ice cream cones!
But judging from the results, this improvement seems not yet mature and stable. According to the results of test owners, there are good and bad results.For security reasons, we did not perform verification testing on it.
In addition, although the experience has indeed improved to a higher level after the upgrade, Autopilot problems still exist, such as:
·Sudden braking and deceleration while driving on urban expressways for unknown reasons (presumably caused by strong light reflection)
·Some road restrictions Speed reading error
·Automatically change lanes to complete the return action and there is still room for optimization
·The recognition of vehicles in adjacent lanes is average, and the response to behaviors such as traffic jams and crossing lanes is still slow.
After all, even Boss Ma himself, who has always been very optimistic about the timetable, said that in order to achieve fully autonomous driving with long delays, It may have to wait until the end of next year.
So...
Autopilot at this stage is at best a leading driving assistance tool, but it really does not mean that it can achieve fully autonomous driving functions.
It is always a stupid thing to risk your own life to challenge the bottom line of the machine.
