Chapter 648

ADAS system + solid-state battery, this is the biggest selling point of Tesla's two new cars.

The assembly and production of the ADAS system have been arranged. The key now is whether the solid-state battery development project team led by Tian Hong can deliver the results as scheduled, and whether the existing battery factory can directly go online for production?

"Before I came this time, I had a special chat with Lao Tian. The development of solid-state batteries has basically been completed. Now Lao Tian is mainly doing various tests on the battery, with the purpose of further improving the comprehensive performance and safety performance of the battery." Ma Huafu replied immediately.

"Before the release of the new car next year, can the production problem be solved, and can the production keep up with the demand?" Zhou Fei continued to ask.

"It should be no problem. Old Tian said that the production of solid-state batteries does not need to rebuild the production line. It is enough to carry out technical transformation on the original lithium battery production line. The battery factory has already made preliminary preparations according to his requirements. It’s working, judging from the current market capacity of electric vehicles, the output will definitely be no problem.” Ma Huafu replied.

"Then I don't worry, solid-state batteries are as indispensable as ADAS systems." Zhou Fei smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "By the way, the two cars jointly developed by Nikola and Baixun, your side Is there any news about it?"

"Their confidentiality work has been done very well, but I heard that it will be released next year. I don't know the specific information. So far, no spy photos or anything has been released."

The EV1 and ES2 developed by Nikola this time have always been very mysterious, except that they appeared once at the Shanghai Auto Show, there is no other information.

"Okay, then I get it. All right, let's talk about the rest later, let's go eat first, I guess Jiang Yang and the others are waiting impatiently." Zhou Fei nodded, and did not continue to ask.

I ate lunch at the restaurant that Zhou Fei and the others used to go to. The business is still booming, but the boss has kept a special box for Zhou Fei and others for so many years. They ordered a large table of hometown dishes. Although it is not as exquisite as a five-star hotel, it tastes very good.

After lunch, Li Jianneng and others took a short rest, and then left the headquarters one after another. The company in charge still had a lot to do and couldn't stop for a moment.

Before Jiang Yang left, he made a special trip to Zhou Fei's house to visit Zhou Fei's parents, so he was the latest to leave.

"I won't say much about other things. Although the two major businesses of Mercedes-Benz Travel have stabilized, there are still many things to worry about. The most important thing is how to turn losses into profits. You and the old horse are two big holes. , we have to find a way to block it earlier." After sending Jiang Yang to the car, Zhou Fei said this.

At present, only Tesla and Mercedes-Benz in the entire group have net losses every year, and Mercedes-Benz is the largest. Now that the promotion of the online car-hailing business is coming to an end, the issue of revenue needs to be placed at the top of the company's management.

"I see. After I go back, I will come up with a revenue plan for you as soon as possible." Jiang Yang nodded with a smile. He didn't dare to relax for a day without making a profit for the speeding trip.

After chatting for a few more words, Zhou Fei watched Jiang Yang leave the community.

With the conclusion of the board of directors, the work of Feichi Group in the second half of the year also started in an orderly manner.

During this period of time, Zhou Fei came to Shanghai five times successively to learn about the release and production of Tesla's new cars. This is also his most important job in the second half of the year and even next year. It has also begun intensive preparations in Shanghai.

The time soon came to December, and Shencheng also entered winter. Although the temperature also plummeted, compared with his hometown, Shencheng can be said to be the beginning of spring. Zhou Fei even felt that he didn’t need long johns wore.

"I think the preparatory work here will be over soon." Zhou Fei looked at the well-arranged scenes in the exhibition hall, and said to Ma Huafu beside him.

This time, Tesla's new car launch event was placed in the Mercedes-Benz Auto Culture Center, and all new car launch events of the group will be held here in the future.

Although Tesla's first new car launch event was held at the racetrack, and the response was very good, it was a huge project after all, and it was troublesome to prepare, and now Tesla's reputation has been spread , No need to go through as much trouble as last time.

"We have been preparing for it since October. In addition, there has been an auto show here before, and many places do not need to be redecorated, so the preparation is much easier." Ma Huafu replied with a smile.

Accompanied by Ma Huafu, Zhou Fei watched the entire press conference, and then walked out of the cultural center.

"Let's go to the factory. I want to know more about the production situation." As soon as Zhou Fei arrived in Shencheng, he informed Ma Huafu that he was here, and he had never been anywhere else.

Soon, a group of people came to Tesla's production workshop again. The two new cars had been secretly put into production at the beginning of the month. After completing the expansion of the third phase of the project, the annual output of the entire Tesla factory in Shanghai has reached 50 vehicles, fully able to meet the current market demand.

The production of solid-state batteries, also under the leadership of Tian Hong, has overcome many difficulties and has been produced as early as last month. After more than half a month of production ramp-up, the current supply of solid-state batteries, It has been able to keep up with Tesla's vehicle assembly.

Watching new cars coming off the production line one after another, Zhou Fei also had a smile on his face.

"What is the current production ratio of the workshop?" Zhou Fei asked after coming out of the workshop.

"New and old models are allocated on a three-to-two basis. The annual output of the two newly developed models is 30, and the old model is 20. However, since the X and Model 2 are about to be released, the early sales There will definitely be a lot, so in the first three months, we plan to distribute 40 production capacity to them to ensure that there will be no more out-of-stock situations." Ma Huafu replied.

Ma Huafu still vividly remembers the booming sales of Tesla’s first batch of models, Model 1 and Model Y. The date for customers to pick up the cars may even be three months later. With the lessons learned last time, this Nothing like this can happen again.

"Very good, let's allocate production capacity according to this ratio." Zhou Fei nodded in satisfaction, and then continued, "The time and location of the new car launch will be announced next Monday. This wave of enthusiasm can be raised in advance."

There are still two weeks left before the release of the new car, and it is indeed time to promote it.

"In addition, in the promotional slogans of these two new cars, there is such a sentence as, 'Wang Zang Combination, Leading a New Era of Electric Vehicles'!" Zhou Fei then added.
