Chapter 2340 Test Drive

September 20, Tesla.

As soon as the car drove into the company gate, Feng Yiping was stunned. So many people?

And they all looked at him eagerly. Feng Yiping was a little dazed. This situation was very similar to the scene of some domestic companies waiting for the boss to give red envelopes before starting work after the Spring Festival.

"Feng," Eberhard and his friends squeezed out of the crowd.

One by one, as long as they put on a suit and pinned a big red flower on their chest, they would be the silly groom waiting to marry the goddess of their dreams.

"You are finally back," Eberhard held Feng Yiping's hand, "Look,"

Feng Yiping greeted the employees around him. What are you looking at? I can't see it.

At this time, the employees who gathered together smiled and spread out around, revealing three cars parked in the field.

"Feng, look," Eberhard repeated.

Feng Yiping's eyes lit up. Unlike the previous prototypes, these three cars were parked there quietly, but they exuded a unique nobleness.

In the square and in front of the windows of the surrounding buildings, most of the Tesla employees looked at the three cars in the field, and then looked at Feng Yiping who was walking towards the three cars.

Feng Yiping walked to the first car with excitement and touched it. On the shiny hood, his face and his body looked a little deformed.

This was a rare exciting moment for him in the past two years.

Even more exciting than when Facebook and YouTube were launched.

Men are often materialistic animals, and they are always more interested in such real equipment.

The people around, including Eberhard and others, were equally excited at this time. They worked hard for so many days and nights, and burned so much money. Now, they finally got results.

On their faces and in their eyes, they were excited and expectant at this time.

Feng Yiping squatted beside the coupe-style red Model S, looking at its silver carp-shaped grille, its sharp lines, and its headlights that looked a bit sharp... Yes, this was the car he had seen at the auto show and on the road.

Under everyone's gaze, he opened the door and entered the car. On the other side, Straus also flashed in. "Now your request has been met. The ignition button has been cancelled. When the door is opened or someone sits in the driver's seat, the vehicle will automatically power on," he said, pointing to the screen that lit up in the car.

At this time, all the parts that can light up in the car have lit up. For a moment, it really feels like being in a space capsule.

What is very different from other luxury cars at this time is that it has a total of three LCD screens, a full LCD instrument panel, a central control LCD screen, and the LCD screen below it.

These three LCD screens are all 10 inches in size. Although they are not as eye-catching and attractive as the 17-inch large screen on the Tesla car later, at this time, these three LCD screens will also attract the attention of people entering the car at the first time, giving people a full sense of technology, and making people sigh involuntarily that this is really a car made in Silicon Valley.

Feng Yiping's hand touched the carbon fiber center console panel and clicked on the center control screen. The response was still a little delayed. Considering that these three large screens are equivalent to having some functions of the iPad, and it is estimated that Apple has not yet overcome many technical difficulties of the iPad, Feng Yiping feels that such an effect is not unacceptable.

Eberhard and Pentanen, one standing by Feng Yiping's door and the other standing by Straus's door, both looked at everything in the car with some pride and intoxication. Noticing Feng Yiping's actions, Eberhard explained, "We are still optimizing in various aspects. When it is officially launched, the response will definitely be very sensitive."

This is still somewhat convincing from him. After all, his previous entrepreneurial project was similar to Apple's iPad. Although it was a relatively bulky and simple version, he had a very solid and good foundation in this regard.

Combined with the current technology and the company's strength in software, including sufficient funds, it is not a big problem for him to make these LCD panels with simple functions run smoothly.

Feng Yiping tilted his head and looked at the fingerprints left on the LCD screen. No one said anything about this.

Just like Apple's engineers, under the high pressure of Jobs, tried their best to make the mobile phone thinner by 0.1 mm and 0.1 mm, but most people would buy a mobile phone case, which made them lose all their previous efforts. Sometimes, some things are unsolvable.

For example, the fingerprints on it can be greatly reduced by applying a suitable film. However, the relevant engineers may vomit blood after seeing it. We have spent so much effort and such a high cost to improve the clarity a little bit, but in the end, you can easily wipe it all out with a film!

"I will let the optical laboratory continue to publicize this issue," Feng Yiping said.

He then held the steering wheel with both hands. The steering wheel does not look too cool, but the thick spokes and the flat bottom design still create a good sense of sportiness.

Of course, there are also features. The T-shaped layout in the middle coincides with the car logo.

Feng Yiping stroked the car logo in the middle, "After starting, the car logo here will also light up. Will it be better?"

"Or, we can put a small LCD screen in the middle, for example, can we use this LCD screen to quickly select songs or adjust the temperature of the air conditioner?"

The reason why Tesla was unforgettable after its launch was that the 17-inch large LCD screen in the car created a sense of technology and coolness.

And those who are interested in pure electric vehicles are just those who are more avant-garde and like high technology.

And such an unforgettable sense of high technology can naturally create a different sense of luxury...

In short, Feng Yiping thinks that for Tesla now, coolness will make people unforgettable, and such efforts can be made more.

Eberhard only thought about it for a while, "I think it's okay, I'll ask the people below to get the plan right away,"

Feng Yiping leaned over to look at the second row. Because the car is nearly 5 meters long, and because there is no drive shaft, the rear floor is completely flat, the three seats in the back row are enough to accommodate three passengers, and should provide a good riding experience.

He fastened his seat belt, "Okay, let me try our car."

His eyes swept across the upper and lower screens of the central control. To be honest, these two screens are not as shocking as the 17-inch large screen on Tesla later, but, constrained by the current conditions, it can only be like this for now.

Moreover, in terms of horizontal ratio, just like the 17-inch large screen installed in the car later by Tesla, the three LCD screens in the car are also unique at this time.

Eberhard and Pentanen closed the door at the same time, smiled and waved, and the people around them immediately dispersed, leaving an open space.

While fastening his seat belt, Straus made a choice on the central control screen, "Our steering mode can be adjusted, and the effect is also quite significant,"

"The steering wheel is very easy in comfort mode, while the sports mode will make you feel sufficient weight, and the directionality is also quite good,"

Feng Yiping nodded. After all, it is a car nearly 5 meters long, and efforts in this regard are indeed necessary.

Straus was about to say something, but Feng Yiping had already stepped on the accelerator. "Be careful," he shouted, and Feng Yiping also said "Oh".

This push back feeling! It made him, an old driver who doesn't like intense driving, feel a little uncomfortable.

He loosened his grip, and the speed of the car dropped immediately. Oh, it was much more comfortable.

"We often encountered such problems before," Straus said, "I forgot that this is a pure electric car. The electric motor can reach the maximum torque instantly, and the power is available on demand. There is no problem of insufficient power reserve or slow throttle response."

"Yes, I'm used to it," Feng Yiping laughed, slowing down and speeding up, and circling around this office building of Tesla.

Objectively speaking, because of the energy recovery system, the car still has a more obvious sense of frustration at some times, and the chassis's shock absorption performance is at least quite different from that of Mercedes-Benz, which affects the ride quality...

However, he is very satisfied with the current result!

After all, they only spent a few years, and how long did Mercedes-Benz take to achieve the current level?

Under everyone's gaze, the car finally stopped steadily at a place close to the original place. Feng Yiping, who got out of the car, didn't say anything, but just raised two thumbs to the people around him.

Instantly, cheers broke out.

Feng Yiping hugged the people who rushed up and shouted hoarsely, "Now, right now, open the champagne and have a party..."
