Weimar owner: It's like a joke that I drive it to get my car online.

The wave of new energy vehicles is roaring, and more and more people have a new identity: electric car owners. However, the new energy infrastructure still needs to be improved, and the opposition between oil tankers and trams has never stopped. We believe that the popularization of new energy vehicles is just around the corner, so the column "Owners' School" which focuses on the interview of electric vehicle owners came into being, aiming at showing you the real experience of tram use for reference.

"I am a network car driver, and I can't wait for the day when the car breaks down."

"Even if I completely lose confidence in this brand now, I still hope to get better, because I don't want to smash my hands."

This is the voice of many Weimar car owners. Since last year, Weimar has been caught in negative news such as layoffs, salary cuts and resignations. Weimar also admitted that he did encounter some problems.

For the current experience, Weimar has not saved itself, such as the establishment of Zhengweima Automotive Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., the new company's business scope includes auto parts wholesale and auto parts retail, which is regarded by many as an attempt to revive Weimar.

However, the recent news about Weimar has either been enforced or its shares have been frozen. Will Weimar, who wants to "live like an animal", get better?

In this chain, the owners can best understand the difficulties. Since the delivery in 20 18, Weimar has delivered a total of 654.38+million vehicles. If Weimar continues in this state, there may be tens of thousands of users facing the above tragic situation.

Forget the lifetime warranty and repair the motor at your own expense.

There are no accessories for maintenance, and the official after-sales service is almost stagnant. This is the biggest problem that Weimar car owners are currently encountering.

Among Weimar's 65,438+million users, there are both private cars and operating vehicles, and once they encounter maintenance problems, they will even affect the livelihood of the owners.

Liu Jie, the owner of Weimar E.5, bought a 500km passenger car, ran online and got a car in Guilin, Guangxi, and picked it up last July.

When he first picked up the car, the low configuration was his first impression. For example, only one car key was given, and there were no spare tires and any tire repair tools in the trunk, even no charging piles, or charging piles for zero sports cars bought on second-hand platforms.

In order to increase the configuration, he changed the stereo himself, because the B-pillar decorative board of this car didn't know how to remove it, and finally he managed to plug in the high notes. After adding dsp to sound insulation, the effect of power amplifier and subwoofer is much better, but there is no way to add columns to the speakers at the back.

He also wants to modify the rear air outlet and install the left and right rearview mirrors for heating, but he doesn't have this function when he sees the original cars that are on sale and stopped production. Afraid of causing more trouble for themselves, they gave up after thinking about it.

Since February this year, Liu Jie began to find problems, such as four doors cracked in the same position, showing signs of rust. At that time, he was constantly told that Weimar was going to fall, and some problems were fixed by himself. However, at that time, his 4S shop was operating normally and didn't think much.

On February 14, the power system of the vehicle began to fail and the vehicle could not be started. After a little fire, I reported a failure. After a long time, I reported the fault after driving for several kilometers.

After sale, it was said that the motor was broken and needed a new one.

But when the new motor can be replaced is an unsolved mystery. The store said it was out of stock and the manufacturer had no accessories.

What Liu Jie means is that he is prepared to repair and not replace it, but this does not meet the quality assurance requirements, because once repaired, it means giving up the quality assurance agreement.

After-sales are delayed, but for the network car driver, one day can't wait.

On March 4th, Liu Jie had to repair it himself. Even if he gave up the warranty agreement, he couldn't wait.

"To be honest, I have seen the current situation of Weimar on the Internet. The situation of the manufacturer is worrying, and there is something wrong with the car, which means that I can only be idle. " Finally, Liu Jie spent more than 3,000 yuan to repair the motor himself.

Three thousand at your own expense, not only for half a month, but also some illusory lifetime warranties.

Motor damage is a common problem in this car. Like Liu Jie, a cyclist in Yunnan said that his motor had been broken for three months, and it has not been repaired yet.

In addition, a car owner complained on the car quality network that his Weimar E.5 was unable to run due to power failure in June 2022 165438+ 10/0. After-sales inspection said that the driving motor was faulty and needed to be replaced.

From June last year 1 1 to March this year, his problem has not been solved for nearly four months. After sale, it was said that there were no accessories and the manufacturer was short of parts. There is no way, he can only wait indefinitely.

In addition, there are many other problems, such as headlight damage, steering wheel, dashboard and other abnormal sounds, ptc heater problems, battery charging failures and so on. However, these problems have reached the point where there is nowhere to complain, the telephone in official website can't get through, and the complaint telephone number 12345 can't be solved.

? You can still live a carefree life.

Before buying a car, Liu Jie paid attention to many new energy vehicles, such as BYD Qinjia DM-i, Changan Auchan X7 EV, Qichen D60 EV, Nezha U, and popular S50 EV.

The reason why he pays attention to new energy vehicles is simple, that is, he thinks trams are easy to drive. For Liu Jie who stays in the car most of the time, it is very important to drive quietly and comfortably. In addition, he bought a car to ride online. First, it should be cheap, second, it should be durable, and finally, it should be charged quickly and at low cost.

When Weimar E.5 is not set up, we often ask some basic questions about these cars in the circle of riders on various platforms, such as fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, actual battery life, battery warranty, price concessions and so on. But different regions and different car owners will always give different answers.

After the test drive, Liu Jie felt that Weimar E.5 was generally good. More importantly, Weimar E.5 has an interest-free loan, and the final landing price of the whole vehicle is 654.38+0.39 million.

In fact, before the accident, the car gave Liu Jie a fairly good feeling and a passable appearance. Besides, the car paint is very thick. Once he ran into a wall when reversing. He heard a bang and thought it was time to touch up the paint. Unexpectedly, it was only a slight scratch, and even when he wiped it, he couldn't see it.

In addition, in the process of driving, the chassis of Weimar E.5 is ok and the driving experience is quite good. Usually driving in the city. In Liu Wei's view, the experience in the urban area is similar to high-speed driving, and the overall quietness is more in line with the advantages of trams.

The most popular is the interior, which is simple and even a little shabby.

In terms of battery life, he just picked up the car for a month, and he also took a special look at the battery life. When he ran from 94 1km to 1335.9km, it was nearly 400km, with 40 battery life left, so he should be able to run for twenty or thirty kilometers. "After all, it is a bit impossible to run further at 58 degrees. If you really want to run 500km, then run 70 degrees. "

Regarding the charging problem, he is generally not anxious about the electricity consumption. There are charging piles in urban areas and expressways, so it is necessary to charge 35 yuan once.

Until now, in his view, it is still economical for trams to run around the net.

I just want to run for another two years.

Judging from the current situation in Weimar, a large number of car owners complained that the shops were closed and the maintenance was fruitless, and the trust value in the hearts of the public had already been reduced to a minimum.

Freeman Shen, the founder of Weimar, was also surrounded by abuse on the Weibo. Under the news that Weimar will guarantee to resume work and production, almost all comments are made by Weimar's bosses and employees, including those who want spare parts, wages and social security, all of which reveal disappointment and chilling.

A car owner called the manufacturer and got the news that there was a debt dispute between the supplier and Weimar headquarters and refused to deliver the goods.

After the resumption of work was announced in February, Weimar Automobile did not release any latest news, and the situation in Weimar was in jeopardy. In the circle of riders, it is more to persuade the potential owners of Weimar.

The final outcome of Weimar is still inconclusive at present, but what is certain is that for many car owners, especially car owners, frequent vehicle problems, coupled with the delay in replacing accessories, have caused a large number of car owners to get into trouble.

As we all know, building a car is a very expensive project with a very long payback period. There are too many places to spend money on production, research and development, technology, operation and procurement. Even Tesla has only started to make a profit in the last two years.

Freeman Shen, who was born in Geely, a traditional car company, founded Weimar, and chose an internet car-making model different from Wei Xiaoli and other new forces. We didn't choose OEM or acquisition, but insisted on independent production and self-built factory.

Under this asset-oriented model, if we can't land in the capital market and get a large amount of capital injection, Weimar's development will be limited.

But at present, Liu Jie doesn't expect Weimar to be resurrected immediately, as long as he can supply parts so that his car won't be completely scrapped.
