After the battery and autopilot test ended, the bullet screen of the entire live broadcast room had undergone an earth-shattering change.
'I'm convinced!'
Of course, while he was convinced, he wasn't completely convinced.
After all, autopilot was a brand new technology. It would take a long time and a lot of data to verify its safety.
If he wanted all drivers and ordinary people to accept this new technology, it was impossible to do it with just a live broadcast.
However, no matter what, the live broadcast of the Extreme Edge K1 was very confident and announced its technological breakthrough to everyone!
Lin Yu returned to the big screen and looked very confident.
"Before the pricing segment, there's one last side dish: crash test results!
"However, I have to clarify that this is not the result of the IIAS crash test. It's the result of our own crash test.
"As for why it's not the result of the IIAS, it's because the IIAS does not accept cars submitted by manufacturers for testing. They will only randomly purchase cars from the market after the car is officially released for testing.
"The IIAS's crash results will only be out after the Extreme Edge K1 is officially released. However, we have full confidence in this!
"Next, please take a look at the results of our own crash test. Although the test environment is not exactly the same, we believe that the results will not be too different from the IIAS's crash results in the future."
The big screen began to play the video of the collision between the Extreme Edge K1. There was nothing much to say about the results. Most of the results were naturally all excellent!
The reason why it was all excellent was that there was one aspect that was not all excellent: the economy of repairs after the collision.
The reason was simple. As an autopilot model, the Extreme Edge K1 was equipped with many cameras, sensors, and radars. The hardware of this autopilot system was also relatively expensive. After the collision, these components had to be replaced. Naturally, the economy of repairs would become worse.
This could not be helped. As long as it was an autopilot model, this problem could not be avoided.
If they wanted to save money on the autopilot hardware, they could only reduce the number of sensors and lidar. As much as possible, they could use a pure vision solution with cameras to complete autopilot.
However, the safety of a pure vision solution was really difficult to guarantee. The cameras could easily make mistakes, and every mistake could lead to irreversible results. In the end, they could only choose the lesser of two evils. In the end, they could only sacrifice the economy of repairs.
Of course, as the production of the model continued to decrease, the price of the sensors and lidar and other supporting equipment should gradually decrease.
As for the other aspects, of course, there was nothing much to say.
This was because Steifer's cars had always been good in terms of safety. Coupled with the new blade battery and the more advanced active braking technology in the autopilot system, this car was the safest model among Steifer's cars. There was no one else!
If other new energy brands were included, they would most likely be number one as well.
Finally, it was the price segment. This time, the price was divided into four different grades. The basic version of the Jifeng K1 was around 270,000 yuan, and the advanced version was around 350,000 yuan. The basic version with autopilot technology was around 390,000 yuan, and the advanced version was around 450,000 yuan!
As for the difference between the basic version and the advanced version, it was mainly in the selection and battery life.
The price of this highest level version was indeed consistent with the price in Safe and Civilized Driving.
The audience immediately burst into cheers.
Was it expensive?
Expensive!
But this price was completely in line with everyone's expectations!
The basic version without autopilot technology was around 270,000 yuan. It was basically the same as Steifer's previous flagship model. It was slightly more expensive, but considering the improvements in the blade battery and the various hardware standards, this price was completely acceptable.
The version with autopilot technology increased the price by 100,000 yuan. This was mainly due to the sensors and lidar of the entire car. As for whether this 100,000 yuan was worth it, it would depend on the consumer's personal choice.
Some people felt that the autopilot technology was flashy but not practical and was unwilling to spend 100,000 yuan. That was fine too. The basic version of the Jifeng K1 also had the regular upgrade of the blade battery and hardware. The onboard system also came with functions such as intelligent voice, but it could not be autopilot. If some people felt that they just wanted to experience the strongest autopilot on the market and did not care about the 100,000 yuan, then the top version could be a good choice.
Low EQ would be: Exquisite knife skills.
High EQ would be: The price range could perfectly cover the needs of different people.
Lin Yu smiled slightly. "I know. Many of you here are probably players of Safe and Civilized Driving, right?"
"This time, we are also working with the game Safe and Civilized Driving. That's why we are introducing a special discount for players.
"If you buy the Jifeng K1 from Safe and Civilized Driving, you can get a discount of 5,000 yuan for the two basic models and 10,000 yuan for the two advanced models! The first batch of car owners can get another 10,000 yuan discount!
"In other words, if you place an order now, you can get a discount of 255,000 yuan for the 270,000 yuan basic model without autopilot; 450,000 yuan for the advanced model with autopilot can get a discount of 430,000 yuan!"
The moment he finished speaking, the crowd burst into cheers again.
"Ten thousand yuan for players buying cars? Wow, we're making a killing! "
"We can get a discount in real life when we buy cars in the game? Awesome! "
"Boss Pei: Yes, yes, yes. You guys are making a profit again. I'm losing so much that I have to eat Fish-Catching Take-Out!"
"That's good. This price is very sincere. Everyone, don't always stare at the fuel economy. Alternative energy cars are not on the same track as those cars at all! This price, this technology … compared to other alternative energy cars, isn't it a kill? "
"When can we test drive it? I want to see this autopilot technology with my own eyes! "
…
The news conference ended successfully.
Zhang Yan watched the entire news conference and then did a simple search online. Indeed, discussions about the Jifeng K1 were already trending. Video clips of the news conference were also flooding the screens of major video websites!
Although there were still debates, they were no longer 'Is the Jifeng K1's technology bragging' or 'Can the autopilot technology reach the level that was boasted about in the game'. Instead, it had become 'Is it worth spending an extra hundred thousand yuan to buy an autopilot system'.
Indeed, many people thought that the price of the highest version was too high.
"450,000 yuan is still too high. You can buy a high-end version of the popular car models from brand-name car companies at this price! Wouldn't you look better driving it than Stevie? "What's more, tram technology is not mature yet. It's more convenient to drive a car without fuel. No matter how you think about it, you can't choose this."
Zhang Yan was speechless when she saw such arguments.
"Why are there people comparing alternative energy cars with fuel cars? They are not on the same track at all. "
"Fuel cars are indeed more mature, but not every city has an unlimited number. Many people in Beijing and Shanghai can't even get a number for fuel cars. What else can they do other than buy a tram?"
"What's more, trams have their own advantages. If there is a charging station at home, there is no need to worry about daily commuting in the city. In fact, the cost is far lower than fuel cars."
"The pricing of the Jifeng K1 is obviously very particular. Many alternative energy car companies in the country have already established themselves at the price of 250,000 yuan. Stevie is completely based on the previous flagship model's pricing. The 270,000 yuan model of the basic model is a more practical choice. "
"As for adding 100,000 yuan to the autopilot, it has already been shown in the game: even without autopilot, the lidar can allow the driver to better see the blind spots when driving. AEEIS's reminders can also give the driver some guidance to make driving safer."
"What's more, many car owners are not short of this 100,000 yuan. They just want to buy the most advanced and best alternative energy car. They might already have a million-yuan fuel car at home. They are buying this purely as a toy."
"The Jifeng K1 is a high-end autopilot model. Its direct competitor is not a fuel car of the same price, but a high-end alternative energy car of the same price from foreign brands. Compared to those foreign high-end brands with average safety and poor autopilot technology, the Jifeng K1 is obviously very competitive! "
"There should be a car review UP Master going to test drive and review it soon. I think everyone can wait and see, especially those who can't get a number can consider it. It's quite worth it. When I have money, I'll consider getting one for fun. I'll leave the original fuel car to my dad. "
"The key is that after buying the Jifeng K1 in Safe and Civilized Driving, I can buy a car for 10,000 yuan cheaper in real life. That's ridiculous!"
"Alright, this storm is over. I'll continue on my track!"
Zhang Yan had been a little worried about Safe and Civilized Driving at first, but from the looks of it, her worries were indeed unnecessary.
Obviously, Tengda knew what to do!
The marketing plan for the Jifeng K1 this time could be said to be extremely effective. First, the K1 model was released in the game, causing the discussion and popularity at night to accumulate a certain amount of popularity. Then, they held a news conference in real life to make the final decision!
If there was no game to pave the way and they held a news conference the moment they appeared, it would still have a good effect, but it would not be as sensational as it was now.
That was because most people could not imagine that autopilot could be achieved to such an extent. If it was released directly, they would be shocked at the time, but their minds would quickly be changed. Naturally, they would not have a deep impression of it.
The current situation was because there had been an intense debate for more than a week. Most people felt that such autopilot technology was completely impossible. However, Steffer Automobile and Shenhua Corporation proved it through a live-stream at the news conference. That was completely different!
Many people's previously strengthened views were forcefully reversed. Naturally, it would leave a deeper impression on people.
What's more, this news conference could also be seen as a strong promotion for Safe and Civilized Driving.
Not to mention those who really wanted to buy a car and went for the discount, even those who did not plan to buy a car right now would look at "Safe and Civilized Driving" in a different light because of this press conference and learn more about it.
Once they understood the game and knew how fun it was, they might buy it!
The strong combination of the three parties had an absolute three-win effect!
