Generally speaking, for the Tesla Model S, the media has already learned enough. Because it has received unprecedented attention, the media treats it very specially. It is difficult to see which test drive or The evaluation will disassemble the car body, which is usually a practice of technical geeks, but this thorough research from Tesla to the outside has never been interrupted, because people always have a great attitude towards such an innovative model. Great enthusiasm.
However, when I visited Tesla China’s service center in Yizhuang, Beijing, I was informed of two details that I had not paid attention to before. It is precisely about the details of smart cars, which may be very very for geeks. If you want to know, even if it is an ordinary car owner or potential consumer, these two details will affect your daily use. For the car companies that hang the smart word all day long, it seems that some future development directions can be seen.
Smart air suspension
One is the chassis of Tesla. Usually we can see the Tesla streamlined body, and even in many exhibition halls and service centers, there are vehicles that have been dismantled with only the chassis left, but it is really the first time to hang the car underneath to see Tesla.
Many car owners may have seen their car chassis, which is basically a mess. At the very least, there must be a drive shaft and a three-way catalytic package. These things are bare underneath, but the bottom of Tesla is very neat, almost a piece of steel can be used to describe Of course, this aspect is due to the fact that it uses motors to replace the structure of traditional vehicles, and on the other hand is the result of continuous evolution.
It is well known that there is no such protective plate at the bottom of the Model S when it was first launched, and a steel plate with a thickness of 7 mm was added for protection after several accidents. This is a story that everyone who cares about this car knows, and I learned more details after talking to their engineers in detail.
In fact, there are three materials at the bottom of the vehicle, not a piece of steel. The model X's front is empty (in fact, there are ECUs and brake pumps and air-conditioning compressors, etc.), so the bottom does not require special protection, but Tesla designed a soft material similar to plastic and rubber, making When the chassis is bumped, it can be shunted to both sides, reducing the chance of foreign matter falling directly into the battery. And after it, before the front axle, there is a very hard steel plate placed horizontally in front of the battery, its role is to resist the direct impact of hard objects, it is clear that the battery is the object of Tesla's key protection, and A similar accident has not occurred since the installation of a whole piece of steel covering the bottom of the battery.
So for the Model S chassis, it is both simple and simple, or it takes some thoughts. In the upcoming Model X, we have reason to believe that Tesla will further strengthen the chassis protection. After all, the road conditions encountered by SUV models will be much more complicated than the super-running.
Speaking of this, many people may ask, is this related to intelligence? In fact, when you drive Tesla, you will feel that its chassis is still very smart, and definitely you have never heard of it before.
The Model S chassis has a height of 4 levels that can be lifted by air suspension. It can be adjusted manually or by setting a speed value. When this speed is exceeded, the Model S will automatically lower the height of the car for better stability and smaller. Wind resistance.
This is actually nothing. Many luxury cars have this function, and the air suspension is a standard for luxury cars. The next thing I want to say is the cow.
