(Original title: Tesla is breaking the ‘Made-in-China’ stereotype with the GF3-made Model 3)
From the news on December 12, according to foreign media reports, the Chinese team of electric car maker Tesla is striving to break the stereotype of the West, that is, using the domestic Model 3 to refute the nonsense of “bad quality made in China”.
Gang (Kevin) Han, associate professor at the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication, Iowa State University, pointed out that before the word “made in China” was considered to mean low-cost, low-quality goods in the United States, people made The view is actually quite positive.
He said: “People really like Chinese products. They think that products such as tea, furniture or tableware are unique. These are high-quality products and have cultural value. When countless brands make so many products, people change their minds.
Gang (Kevin) Han added that the media ’s prominent coverage of problems with Chinese-made products has also increased the impression of “poor quality in China” and “we have seen a lot of framed information in these reports and received them subconsciously. these messages”.
After Tesla announced plans to build a factory in China, these traditional claims were immediately revealed by critics. During the construction of the Shanghai plant, many Tesla critics still ridiculed the so-called quality problems, saying that these problems may eventually become a problem for the domestic Model 3.
Tesla’s China team has taken these doubts seriously. They want to break this traditional impression, and they do. The evaluation of the domestic Model 3 is very positive. The manufacturing process of these vehicles is as precise as surgery.
The gaps in the panels of these vehicles are carefully arranged, and the decorations on them are well matched. In the United States, former GM executive Bob Lutz finally praised TeslaManufacturing quality of Model 3 made in China. It is worth noting that the Tesla China team achieved the above achievements in just over a year. The Model 3 is the first Tesla car produced in China. Over time, they will only get better.
Tesla shot a lot of close-ups of the domestic Model 3, many of which showed the car’s smooth paint and flawless panel lines, which are difficult to achieve even for Tesla’s American company. In a way, the pictures of the domestic Model 3 seem to be a direct response to “poor quality made in China”, proving that any car made in the Shanghai plant meets quality standards.
Perhaps the most telling question is the personal experience of local car reporters. They were the first to try the domestic Model 3. To their surprise, the domestic Model 3 actually produced better quality cars than those imported from the United States. In view of this, these reporters believe that the domestic Model 3 is likely to be a great success in the Chinese market, because they provide good quality and functionality, and the price is reasonable.
The domestic Model 3 is about to make waves in the Chinese electric vehicle market. Tesla’s Shanghai plant is now mass-producing this all-electric car. The latest video taken by the drone showed that hundreds of domestic Model 3s were parked in the factory’s parking lot, and transport trucks carrying Model 3 were also photographed leaving the plant. All this indicates that the delivery of the domestic Model 3 is about to begin.
