As soon as the Thunderbolt car landed at the airport, it was transported to Tesla's headquarters by a large truck.
Martin, who was already in his fifties, personally welcomed the arrival of the Thunderbolt car in the underground parking lot of the headquarters.
Even before this, Martin had watched many videos related to the Thunderbolt car, as well as many high-definition photos of the interior details from Hua Xia.
When he saw the Thunderbolt car, even though he was an engineer, Martin, who was accustomed to the advanced industrial technology of the world, was amazed. It was so perfect that it did not look like an assembly line industrial product, but like a work of art carefully carved out of metal.
The gap between the shell of the Thunderbolt car in front of him was enough to make the group of engineers next to Martin ashamed. Compared to this, the gap between their products was bigger than the gap between the teeth of a broken tooth.
The appearance of Tesla cars was not amazing. The team led by Martin had positioned their products more towards the practical functions of the family.
Practicality and beauty did not seem to coexist.
In the pursuit of practicality, they had to compromise on the comfortable space structure. In the pursuit of beauty, they had to refer to the design of the supercar and lower the member's space.
However, the moment the door of the sci-fi car in front of them opened, the group of foreigners who focused on the automotive industry suddenly widened their eyes. It was a dazzling car that would definitely attract 100% of the attention on the street.
What a spacious space!
The height of the car was obviously the same as an ordinary family car, but when the door opened, it gave people the feeling of sitting in an SUV, which was particularly comfortable and spacious.
After a detailed inspection for a long time, Martin and the others found that the chassis of the Thunderbolt car was unusually simple. It did not have the messy pipelines and transmission mechanism of a fuel car, nor did it have the battery chassis of an electric car that was as bulky as a bank vault.
Its chassis did not seem to be equipped with a battery at all. Even the tire steering mechanism and shock absorber suspension were unusually simple.
At the same time, the seats in the Thunderbolt car were much slimmer than traditional cars, which saved a lot of space, but it was more comfortable to sit in than any car seat.
"It doesn't make sense. The thickness of the chassis of this car is only one-third of ours. How can it accommodate the battery?"
"Maybe part of the battery is placed in the front hatch." Someone opened the front hatch of Swift Thunder and found a storage box with a large space inside. When they opened the trunk, the result was the same.
Traditional cars required a bulky engine at the front of the car, but electric cars did not. Therefore, there was a storage box at the front of the car.
"Then the battery can only be in the chassis. We, Tesla, spent five years to develop the battery management technology that we are proud of in the world. We used 7,000 18650 milliampere lithium batteries in series to form Tesla's energy pack. "
"It doesn't make sense that this car can do better than ours."
CEO Martin was unconvinced. After five years of hard work and the efforts of dozens of engineers, they had become the world's number one company. They had become the brightest star in the automotive industry. There was no reason that a technology company that started by manufacturing industrial equipment would take away their glory.
Starting from the age of thirty, he had built Tesla into a behemoth, an innovator in the automobile market. Only he knew how much effort and effort he had put in during this period. Martin definitely did not believe that the Thunderbolt car could do better than him.
Of course, it was acceptable for Martin to surpass Tesla in some aspects. A car was a very complicated industrial product. Even a company as strong as Tesla could not do everything.
For example, the smart assistant. Martin admitted that it was very interesting and that he could not compete with it.
As for whether the invisible details were better, he could only disassemble it and test it bit by bit.
Ten minutes later, the Thunderbolt car was transferred to the testing laboratory. Martin was there personally. He wanted to see what was in the Thunderbolt car.
The laboratory was about 2,000 square meters. It had a speed testing platform, a crash test track, and three warehouses in the south. They could simulate the high and low temperature working environment of the car and do wading tests there.
"Prepare the image recording. At the same time, measure and label all the disassembled parts." Martin snapped his fingers at the busy engineers and then got into the Thunderbolt car's driver's seat.
CEO Martin followed the instructions and started the Thunderbolt car with the key. When the central control screen in the car was switched, the translucent assistant jumped out.
"Oh no, Master. I can't detect the GPS positioning module. Without the positioning module, our navigation function can't be used. It seems that we have to go to the after-sales center. "
Martin set the language to English and then bound the car owner to himself. After figuring out what the assistant said, he smiled faintly. They were the ones who tampered with the GPS module.
"Compared to Tesla, who is better?" Martin held his chin and looked at the assistant with a strange look.
"Master, of course I am better. Compared to Tesla, I have …"
"Wait, Master. I detected that someone is dismantling my tires. Master, is this your order? " The smart assistant immediately changed into a Thunderbolt car model. The front left tire of the model kept flashing red circles.
"Yes, I think you are not as good as Tesla, so I want to dismantle you," Martin said with some bad humor.
As soon as he finished speaking, the assistant anxiously reminded him that someone was dismantling the rear wheel.
Martin was indifferent and watched the engineers outside dismantle the Thunderbolt car piece by piece with tools. In the end, only the bare chassis of the Thunderbolt car was left. Even the suspension suspension was gone.
Martin and a group of engineers stood in front of the chassis of the Thunderbolt car for a long time without saying a word.
Their guess was right. The Thunderbolt car had been completely dismantled. However, the engineers did not find any battery in the pile of parts. This meant that its battery could only be in the chassis. However, Martin was the first to not believe that there was a battery hidden in the chassis that was less than five centimeters thick.
"Boss, the weight measurement shows that this chassis is only 400 kilograms. It is twice as light as our Tesla. This is against scientific common sense."
"Dismantle the chassis." Martin, who also did not believe in superstition, waved his hand.
After receiving the order, an engineer immediately walked forward with a precision starting tool. After a few "tuk tuk ~" sounds, the protective shell above the chassis was dismantled, revealing eight silver-white metal objects lying flat inside.
Was this a battery?
Martin felt that someone had poked a wooden stick in his head and stirred it around. Their Tesla battery was made up of more than 7,000 small batteries connected in series. These batteries were grouped into sixteen battery modules, which were sealed with fireproof materials. Each battery was separated by a metal beam. Each battery was welded with overload fusing protection wires using ultrasonic welding technology. There were also complex battery management units, battery liquid cooling circuits, battery heating circuits, and so on.
In winter, the battery was first heated, and in summer, the battery was cooled down.
Their battery packs alone had dozens of technical patents, especially the battery management technology known as the world's first.
Now the Thunderbolt battery only had eight metal plates?
"Boss, the silver-white metal shell on the battery seems to be a protective layer. There are no screws that can be removed."
"Then cut it with a cold cutting method. I want to see what the plasma battery looks like."
“ok。” The engineers immediately replaced the cold cutting equipment, sharpened the knife, and lifted the plasma battery sealed in the nickel-titanium memory alloy protective shell to the workbench.
