The incident of Tesla’s construction in China has been raging, and the masses are waiting for the final result and will not let go of any relevant news. According to the latest news, on October 16, 2017, Tesla released an unprecedented Model S/X for a country, and it is rare to provide the owner with a new national standard charging adapter for free. Tesla released China's customized version of the electric car, which should be stable in China.
Regardless of Model S or X, the charging port adopts 2 in 1 design, DC fast charge, AC slow charge and two are one, regardless of household charging pile, destination charging pile or super charging pile, it can be charged by plugging into one port.
Thanks to this design, Tesla cleverly integrates the charging port and the taillight. Charging type, press the charging interface, the charging port cover on the car will automatically pop open.
However, the new national standard separates the AC and DC charging ports, each of which is an independent interface. This means taking up more space.
Therefore, the charging port conforming to the new national standard can not continue the delicate combination of the front and the taillights, and has to move forward from the original position, and then cut an oval shape in the body to change into a design similar to the fuel tank cap of the gasoline vehicle.
Chinese and foreign charging port comparison
Below is a photo comparison of the Chinese customized version of Model X and the original. The Model S/X body is on the left rear side, leaving a deep Chinese brand – also called “perfect scar†by some Tesla owners.

International regular version of Model X
The Chinese Model S/X owners who booked the car in the future will get the "fuel tank cover" version of the electric car. This time Tesla official did not give the Model 3 of the "fuel tank cover" design. There is still a long way to go before the Model 3 is delivered to the Chinese market, so Tesla still has time to find a better Chinese version of the charging port design on Model 3.
In order to be compatible with China's charging port standards, Elon Musk will redesign the body of the three models, transform all of China's super-charged piles and destination charging piles.
Although the design changes are not big, but for a car company from design, development, production to sales, charging, after-sales, each joint must be completely controlled, it is not a trivial matter to change the existing mature design. .
Why is Tesla doing this? This is a very important issue, we will focus on the analysis later.
However, I am very worried that the Chinese version of Tesla, can not use automatic charging robots in the future...
Tesla also launched a new national standard charging adapter for the Chinese market
Tesla DC Charging Adapter
China's Tesla owners have been eagerly awaiting the DC charging adapter in the picture above. With its Model S/X, it can use the new national standard fast charging pile to enjoy more charging piles outside the Tesla charging network. This adapter is actually a conversion plug, Apple users should be familiar with such products.
There are also many stories behind Tesla's DC charging adapter. Product development has been around for a long time, and many Tesla owners are looking forward to it. At the Guangzhou Auto Show in November 2016, Tesla has released this product, and then there is no more.
Almost a year after the release, Tesla's new national standard DC charging adapter is hard to find. In some forums, a small number of Tesla owners were invited to try the beta adapter. The new travel report pointed out that in a WeChat advertisement, the price of the Tesla DC charging adapter is 6,000 yuan.
After a while, some new owners were told by the sales consultant that they can get a gift bag worth 3,000 yuan as soon as possible, and a two-year maintenance or DC charging adapter.
There are also some old-fashioned owners who also have the opportunity to get a DC charging adapter.
For a long time, DC charging adapters are gifts for a small number of special owners, you can't buy them or buy them.
During the period, many Tesla owners called Tesla's 400 customer service phone to inquire when the DC charging adapter was on the market. The customer service answer was September this year. But then I jumped the ticket again.
On October 16th, Tesla suddenly announced a free gift to the existing owner DC and AC charging adapters. The Tesla owners waited for a DC charging adapter for almost a year, and the price ranged from 6,000 to 3,000 to free. Many Tesla owners were bombed and the owners were very excited.
You see, this is the management of user satisfaction. The moment of surprise will leave a deep impression on the user, leaving a particularly satisfactory impression on the product or service, but not remembering the previous waiting.
Ok, now your Model S uses the new national standard DC charging adapter. He bought a Chinese customized version of Model X. Can you happily use the DC charging of the State Grid?
I am sorry to tell you that it will not be so pleasant.
First of all, charging is charged. A lot of Tesla owners have become accustomed to the free overcharge, charging has to pay, which may not be used to. Fortunately, it is not expensive compared with fueling.
The real problem is that the working conditions of the new GB charging pile are quite different. Even if the DC charging adapter is plugged in, the Model S/X is not sure that it will be successfully charged.
Not only may not be able to charge, and even some charging piles will trigger Tesla's system protection. So try not to use the new national standard charging pile to save the emergency when you have a very low battery, leave a redundant backup of the cruising range or go to find the overcharge.
After talking about Tesla's support for the new national standard, let's talk about the story behind the news.
Tesla's returnIn order to meet China's charging standards, what did Tesla pay?
- Tesla distributes an adapter that was originally planned to cost thousands of dollars to all Chinese car owners who have delivered the vehicle for free.
- Theoretically a problem that can be solved by a adapter, Tesla has specially modified the design of the model for China.
No car manufacturers are willing to do this unless they can get a good return.
What did the Chinese government get?Although Tesla has modified all of the domestic super-charged piles and destination charging piles, it is adapted to the new national standard charging interface standard. However, Tesla's huge charging network is still only open to Tesla owners, and other brands of electric vehicles cannot be recharged.
Tesla's charging network has not become part of the social charging infrastructure, maintaining independence.
I want to think about it. The Chinese government has received the recognition of China's first electric vehicle manufacturer for the Chinese charging interface standard. Tesla’s actions are sincere.
So, what will the Chinese government give back to Tesla’s efforts?
If this comprehensive support for the new national standard charging standard is Tesla's compromise on the Chinese market. Then the return that Tesla wants should be the Chinese government's concessions on some key terms of the construction of the factory in China.
Of course, the new national standard charging standard and the approval of a foreign-funded automobile company in China are not the same competent authority. However, the electric vehicle industry policy is a very important part of the future development plan of the Chinese economy. Tesla has been in constant contact with local and central government agencies.
