#280 - Tesla Model S electric car's high-tech features!
However, the world is always a mix of joy and sorrow. While Geek Electric Vehicle consumers were overjoyed, other car companies felt quite uncomfortable.
Because they found that their cars suddenly became difficult to sell. The once-deserted car dealerships now experienced a sharp drop in customer traffic of over 70%.
Consumers in various countries were almost all in a state of wait-and-see, hesitating whether to buy electric vehicles or gasoline vehicles.

As a result, the 4S stores of various car companies found that their customer traffic plummeted. Even those who came only looked around and didn't actually buy on the spot.
This naturally infuriated the presidents of various car companies, who cursed the damned Geek Technology Company.
They then regretted why they didn't try harder to suppress Geek Technology Company in the first place.
If they had worked together to suppress Geek Technology Company, the situation they faced now wouldn't be so bad.
"President, what should we do? Now, not only the Chinese market, but also our island nation's domestic market is in a state of holding back," asked Masayuki Kawakami, the marketing director, to Akihisa Toyoda at the Toyota Motor Corporation headquarters.
"We can only lower prices drastically and launch a major marketing campaign," Akihisa Toyoda said after thinking for a while, unable to come up with any other solution but to resort to the major price reduction and promotion strategy.
"It seems that's the only way," Marketing Director Masayuki Kawakami said helplessly.
"Mr. Yamada, when can our Toyota electric car be released?" Akihisa Toyoda turned his attention to Takeshi Yamada, the head of the R\u0026D department at Tsuda Motor Corporation.
"President, our electric car R\u0026D is progressing rapidly.
After all, although our main research and development is on hydrogen-powered electric vehicles, it is not difficult to convert it into a pure electric vehicle."
Speaking of this, R\u0026D Director Takeshi Yamada pondered for a moment and then gave the specific time:
"As for when it can be launched, our pure electric vehicle can probably be launched in three months."
"Three months..."
Akihisa Toyoda frowned and said decisively:
"We can't wait three months to officially promote it. We need to make our voice heard in the market in advance and not let the market forget about us."
Speaking of this, Akihisa Toyoda turned his gaze to Marketing Director Masayuki Kawakami and said:
"The marketing department must first do a good job in publicity, first hype up the popularity, and let consumers know that we will soon release Tsuda Electric Vehicles.
Thereby not directly buying Geek Technology's Geek Electric Vehicles blindly, but instead waiting for our Tsuda Electric Vehicles to be released."
"Yes!" Marketing Director Masayuki Kawakami responded, indicating that he would do a good job in this matter.
In three months, I want Tsuda Electric Vehicles to be released and launched directly!"
"Yes!" R\u0026D Director Takeshi Yamada replied, feeling immense pressure, knowing that the R\u0026D department would have to eat and sleep at the company next.
However, there is no other way when working for someone. If you want to rush out R\u0026D results, you can only work hard and work overtime.
The only thing R\u0026D Director Takeshi Yamada feels fortunate about now is that Tsuda Motor Corporation has the technical foundation accumulated from hydrogen-powered electric vehicles.
Otherwise, without anything, starting from scratch to develop electric vehicles would simply be a disaster.
At the same time, in addition to Tsuda Motors, other car companies have also made decisions to rapidly enter the electric vehicle field one after another.
After all, Geek Technology Company has publicly stated that it will sell the second-generation three-dimensional graphene supercapacitor used in electric vehicles.
In this case, relying on the technical background of various car companies, it really doesn't take long to develop and manufacture an electric vehicle.
Among them, the fastest in producing results is not actually Tsuda Motors, nor General Motors and Volkswagen.
In fact, the fastest car company to produce results is Tesla Electric Vehicle Company. One week after Geek Technology Company released Geek Electric Vehicles.
Tesla Motors officially announced that the 2014 Model S electric vehicle will use the second-generation three-dimensional graphene supercapacitor.
The announcement of this news directly plunged countless people around the world into excitement.
Because compared to a new brand of Geek Electric Vehicles, Tesla Motors' Model S has already proven itself.
Moreover, the appearance of the Model S electric vehicle is not much worse than the Geek Han series of electric vehicles.
Of course, in addition to this, there is another important piece of news.
This news is that Tesla Motors announced that the high, medium, and low configurations of the Model S electric vehicle all support autonomous driving technology!
Speaking of which, Tesla Motors' autonomous driving technology is not specifically targeted at Geek Technology Company.
Because they were going to release autonomous driving technology in their previous life in 2014, and the model released was also the Tesla Model S electric vehicle.
So this time, Tesla Motors really caught a coincidence.
Not only can it use the second-generation three-dimensional graphene supercapacitor to replace lithium batteries, improve charging speed, and reduce battery costs, but it can also apply full-fledged autonomous driving technology, which is simply a double happiness.
Of course, this autonomous driving technology can actually only be used on highways, which is more than a notch worse than the autonomous driving technology in the previous life.
But it must be admitted that it does achieve autonomous driving, at least in terms of highways, it does achieve autonomous driving capabilities.
Therefore, in terms of hype, this Tesla Model S electric vehicle is directly maxed out.
People who were originally planning to buy Geek Electric Vehicles directly decided to wait another month to see how strong the Model S electric vehicle's autonomous driving technology is.
After all, the Geek Han series of electric vehicles does not support autonomous driving technology.
But Tesla Motors' Model S electric vehicle supports autonomous driving technology.
In this case, how could they not be curious and look forward to the Model S electric vehicle's autonomous driving technology,
And ultimately decide which car to buy?
However, these people's choices are not a good thing for Geek Technology Company.
After all, the Model S electric vehicle is positioned as a high-end electric vehicle, which will definitely impact the sales of the Geek Han series of electric vehicles.
Although the sales share of the Han series of electric vehicles is not high, averaging only about 20% of total sales.
But the profits contributed by this Han series of electric vehicles exceed 40% of the profits of other series of electric vehicles combined.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that this Han series of electric vehicles supports half of the profits.
But now consumers are choosing to wait and see and not immediately buy the Geek Han series of electric vehicles, which makes Geek Technology Company frown.
For this reason, a wave of reflection has emerged within Geek Technology Company, believing that it should stop selling the second-generation three-dimensional graphene supercapacitor to the outside world!
