　　Combined with previous information, Ledao L60 locates medium-sized pure electricity, and its size will be larger than Model Y.. For reference, the length, width and height of Tesla Model Y are 4750/1921/1624mm and 2890mm respectively. The appearance will be coupe-style, and the overall style will be simple and sporty. The front face will be designed with split headlights, equipped with hidden door handles and slender taillights.

　　For the interior, the new car adopts a horizontal central control panel similar to ET9, and is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip. In terms of intelligent driving, it adopts a purely visual route, only equipped with an NVIDIA OrinX (which can be upgraded to Shenji NX9031 chip later), and will not be equipped with a laser radar. It will have the city navigation assistance function at the time of delivery.

　　In terms of power, Ledao L60 will be built entirely on the 900V silicon carbide platform (NT3), and it is expected that it will only provide a single motor drive, which is different from Weilai and creates a brand image that is close to the people. The chassis adopts the form of front+rear five-link independent suspension.

　　In terms of battery life, lithium iron phosphate batteries with a capacity of 60 kWh and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited lithium batteries with a capacity of 90 kWh will be provided to support DC fast charging and AC slow charging, as well as to support power exchange. Only the third-generation or above power exchange stations can be used for power exchange, and the first-generation and second-generation power exchange stations are not supported, in order to distinguish them from Weilai brand.

　　Comments:As for the price, Li Bin, CEO of Weilai, said that the price of Ledao L60 is definitely cheaper, and it is suggested that those who buy Model Y can wait. However, netizens guess that the price will start at 229,900 yuan, which is in line with its mainstream family car market positioning of 200,000-300,000 yuan, and supports the battery rental scheme. The price may be reduced by 50,000-60,000 yuan, and the threshold will be lowered to 170,000 yuan.

　　A few days ago, the official of Wenjie Automobile released the latest technical instructions on the accident and fire of an M7 Plus in Shanxi Province on April 26th, mainly including the accident cause, speed, fire cause, state and door unlocking, as follows.

　　Explanation on Technical Problems Related to the New M7 Plus in Traffic Accidents on Houping Expressway in Shanxi Province

　　On April 26th, 2024, a traffic accident occurred in Houping Expressway, Shanxi Province. A new M7 Plus collided with road maintenance vehicle in the inner lane.

　　We are deeply saddened by this traffic accident. After the accident, we actively cooperated with the traffic police department to carry out accident investigation and provided all necessary data to restore the cause of the accident. The specific investigation results shall be subject to the notification confirmed by the traffic police department.

　　This incident has been widely concerned on the Internet recently. Now, the technical problems related to the new M7 Plus vehicle (hereinafter referred to as the "accident vehicle") in the accident are explained:

　　Question 1: Why didn’t the automatic emergency braking (AEB) function successfully avoid collision?

　　The accident vehicle was normal before the collision. According to the background data analysis, there were two braking actions within 5 minutes before the accident, and the vehicles were able to slow down normally.

　　The new M7 Plus is equipped with L2-class assisted driving system (not Huawei A 2.0 intelligent driving system), and its automatic emergency braking (AEB) working range is 4 ~ 85 km/h.. When the accident vehicle collided, its speed was 115km/h, which exceeded the working range of automatic emergency braking (AEB).

　　Question 2: What is the cause of the vehicle fire? Did the battery spontaneously ignite?

　　When the accident vehicle collided with road maintenance vehicle at a high speed of 115km/h, the beam-like hard structure protruding from the rear of the accident vehicle suddenly invaded the front engine room and passenger compartment on the left side of the accident vehicle, resulting in serious damage to the front engine room and passenger compartment, and the harness was cut off instantly. The front engine room was ignited by short-circuit sparks of high-temperature components or harness, and the left side of the front engine room caught fire first, then the fire spread to the whole vehicle, and the power battery pack did not spontaneously ignite.

　　Question 3: Does the airbag open normally?　

　　According to the background data analysis, before the collision, there was a lock signal in the main driver’s seat, but there was no lock signal in the co-pilot seat and the three seats in the back row, and the airbag status was monitored normally. When a collision occurs, the vehicle airbag opens normally.

　　Question 4: Can the door be opened after the collision?

　　The new M7 Plus has the function of automatic collision unlocking, and is equipped with a mechanical door handle. In case of special emergency, the door can be unlocked by pulling the mechanical door handle. When the accident vehicle collided with the front road maintenance vehicle at a high speed of 115km/h, the beam-like hard structure protruding from the rear of the front vehicle suddenly invaded the front engine room and passenger compartment on the left side of the accident vehicle, which caused the power and signal wires in the front engine room and passenger compartment to be cut off instantly, and the door handle controller could not receive the pop-up signal. Rescuers broke the window and pulled the inner handle of the mechanical door to open the door for rescue.

　　Comments:Judging from this official reply, the more important information is that there is no seat belt lock signal in the co-pilot seat and the three seats in the back row, which means that passengers are not wearing seat belts, which is one of the important reasons for personal injury; Secondly, the front engine room and the passenger compartment were seriously damaged, and the wiring harness was cut off instantly, which led to the ignition of the front engine room by high-temperature components or short-circuit sparks of the wiring harness. At the same time, the door handle controller could not receive the ejection signal, so that the door could not be opened in time, which brought certain difficulties to external rescue.

　　I hereby appeal to everyone to fasten their seat belts when driving, especially in the front and rear rows. This is one of the most basic measures to ensure the safety of passengers. In addition, car companies should not exaggerate the function to mislead consumers, and should clearly mark and explain the functional differences of different configuration models to avoid the risks caused by misunderstanding.

　　Recently, Chen Zhuo revealed the spy photos of Aouita’s third product on social software, saying that the new car will meet with you as scheduled in the second half of this year. Judging from the spy photos, this new car should be the previously exposed Aouita 15 (internal code E15), because before this, Vice Yong Jun of Aouita revealed that two brand-new products, Aouita 15 and Aouita 16, will be released in the second half of the year. Aouita 15 is a model, and Aouita 16 is a medium-sized coupe. The spy photos are a new SUV, so the probability of Aouita 15 is higher.

　　Judging from the preview map published at present, Aouita 15 uses a similar design style, which has a rounded front line and a closed grille, and is equipped with a black enclosure below. There are C-shaped LED strip on both sides of the front of the car, and the sharp corner shape adds a sense of sci-fi futurity to the front of the car.

　　The D-pillar on the side has an approximate slip-back design, which will be more rounded than Aouita 11. Secondly, the new car will be equipped with a hidden door handle design and a streaming media exterior rearview mirror. It is expected that the taillights will also adopt the through design, and the tail design style will be consistent with other models of Aouita family. Finally, the roof is equipped with a luggage rack and a trailer hook.

　　Finally, in terms of power, the new car will be equipped with extended-range power, and it is expected that there will also be pure electric versions to choose from. According to the information disclosed before, Aouita will add four extended-range power products to its product line in 2024.

　　CEO elon musk recently said on social media platform X: "There are still plans to expand the super charging network, but the expansion speed of new locations will slow down, and more attention will be paid to 100% uptime and the expansion of existing locations." Although the expansion of Tesla’s overcharged network is still in progress, at this time, it has been reported that Tesla’s charging team has been abolished by hundreds of people.

　　Some foreign media reported that according to Tesla’s internal mail, Musk had fired Rebecca Tinucci, senior director of Tesla’s charging infrastructure, and as many as 500 employees in her team before making the above remarks. In addition, Musk also fired Daniel Ho, the head of the automotive project.

　　The consumer survey results of J.D. Power and other institutions show that Tesla’s super charging network is not only the largest in the United States, but also the most reliable charging network. Tesla is currently opening its charging network to more than a dozen competitors, which will help promote electric vehicles in the North American market.

　　However, the recent news that Tesla has laid off its employees who are responsible for expanding and maintaining the super charging network makes people worry about the improvement and maintenance prospects of the charging infrastructure in the North American market.

　　The results of market analysis show that the sales of pure electric vehicles in the United States are already under pressure due to high prices and concerns about cruising range and charging infrastructure, and the slowdown in the expansion of super charging networks is also a big blow; Even some insiders believe that if Tesla can no longer maintain its leading position in the field of public charging, it may damage the entire electric vehicle industry.
