At the booth of the Tesla New Car Delivery Conference.
The president of China, John, stood in front of three TSL-A4 electric cars.
With a confident smile, he spoke to dozens of media reporters and more than a thousand spectators.
"We have made a lot of changes to the exterior design and interior of the TSL-A4, making the entire car more sci-fi and more comfortable to ride.”
" Most importantly, the TSL-A4 is equipped with a new intelligent voice interaction system. It can perfectly recognize eight languages, including Chinese, and make relevant actions according to the owner's instructions.
Our TSL-A4 and intelligent voice interaction system have clearly gained the trust of consumers and the recognition of the market. This can be seen from the fact that we sold a total of nearly 7,000 TSL-A4s in seven days of pre-sales…"
Before John could finish, a beautiful reporter interrupted and asked,""Mr. John, I don't know if you've watched the Tianhe International Cross-Border Challenge. What do you think of the Veyron A4 overtaking the Tesla sports car despite being one lap behind?”
The reporter's question was so sharp that it directly hit Tesla's pain point.
John did not go to watch the game in person.
However, his secretary had given him a detailed report on the process and results of the competition.
Including the live launch and pre-sale of the Veyron electric car.
He was naturally very clear about the performance and black technology of the Veyron electric car.
Not to mention the high-end version of the Veyron A4, even the basic version of the Veyron A2.
Be it in terms of performance or artificial intelligence software.
It completely crushed the Tesla TSL-A4.
But this was at the new car delivery meeting of Tesla.
Naturally, he couldn't rely on others 'ambitions to diminish his own prestige.
John pretended to be unhappy at first, then said frankly,""Beautiful lady, it's very rude to interrupt others. Of course, I'm still willing to answer your question.
I personally feel that the future development direction of the car should not only be in terms of power performance, but also in all aspects, such as more comfortable and more intelligent driving.
Especially in the field of electric vehicles, the market tells us that only by continuously improving the power, performance, driving and riding experience of the model, as well as working hard on future technology, is our goal.
As for the performance of the race, we don't really care, because we know that just a fast chassis assembly can't completely affect the future development of the car.
Therefore, in the past year, we at Tesla have focused on developing and perfecting the intelligent voice interaction software. We have not invested much in the motor and battery technology to meet the needs of existing and next-generation models…"
John's answer was simple.
He answered the beautiful reporter's question.
He also cleverly avoided the gap with the Veyron.
The subtext was:
Tesla didn't lose to the Veyron in terms of technology.
Instead, he changed the direction of research and development.
He just wanted to destroy the Veyron.
We have plenty of methods.
However, the reporters and fans at the scene did not give John the chance to continue posturing.
The news of the Heavenly River Cross-Border Challenge was too explosive and spread too quickly.
It was a domestic car that challenged all foreign car companies.
Let's not talk about the process and the result first.
Just this feeling.
Countless people would be proud of it.
Not to mention that the result was a complete victory for domestic cars.
It was an electric car that was full of power and cross-border challenges.
Therefore, John's clever evasion and invisible posturing were all very effective.
The Chinese reporters and the car fans at the scene mercilessly exposed and ridiculed him.
"If you can't win, then you can't win.”
"The Veyron car overtook us even though it was one lap behind. What do you think?”
"I heard that the participating Tesla sports car crashed into the guardrail because it couldn't stop.”
"The battery capacity of a Veyron is three to five times that of an ordinary battery.”
"You said that your car's performance is not good because you didn't pay attention to research and development, but the smart voice software is not as good as others.”
"The driving assistant of the Veyron car can recognize all languages and dialect, and it can even achieve true autonomous driving.”
The disdain and ridicule of the reporters and fans made John blush and unable to refute.
His smile quickly stiffened, and his face was burning hot, as if he had been slapped twice.
He felt that there was no way to continue this new car delivery meeting. He was standing on the stage like a clown.
"Secretary Li, I need to go to the toilet first.”
John could only find an excuse and leave the venue.
The delivery of the new car could be avoided, but the impact of the Veyron car was unavoidable.
John returned to the president's office and had to report the situation to the headquarters of the Star Strip Nation.
He could almost predict it.
Not only would the sales of the new car, TSL-A4, drop,
Other models on sale would also face an unprecedented setback.
Even Tesla's position as the leader in China's new energy vehicles would not be guaranteed.
John had to make it clear to the headquarters that if Tesla collapsed in the near future.
It wasn't because he was incompetent, nor was it because Tesla was too weak, but because the opponent was too strong.
The current him had no way to deal with the rise of Veyron. It had already exceeded the scope of his ability as the CEO.
