Hello everyone, this is a story about the owner of the ideal L8. After the birth of his child, he sold his Audi S4 and BMW 330i at home and bought a daddy car with large space and comfort - Ideal L8 pro. It has been purchased for nearly two years. This article shares his experience in using a car, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

01 Reason for buying a car
As the saying goes, buy seven, buy nine, and don’t buy eight. The 2023 ideal L8 PRO is here to show off.
I picked up the car on July 16, 2023. At that time, there was no delivery center in Zhuhai, so I had to go to the delivery center in Zhongshan South District to pick up the car. Now that Zhuhai has opened a delivery center, it is really convenient.
At that time, the price of the PRO version was 359,800 yuan, and it was given a service package for 2 years, with a government subsidy of 10,000 yuan, and an insurance of 354,800 yuan. The reason for buying a car is actually very simple. Dabao was born at that time. The Audi S4 and BMW 330i at home could not meet the large space and comfort of raising children.

The reason for buying a car is actually very simple. Dabao was born at that time. The Audi S4 and BMW 330i at home could not meet the large space and comfort of raising children.
And in terms of cost control, the cost reduction and efficiency brought by trams or extended-range vehicles are obvious to all. In addition, there are home replenishment piles, which greatly saves costs. In the end, all the fuel trucks in the home were sold and enters new energy.
After picking up the car, I regretted not getting on MAX. In 23 years, when the lidar penetration rate was not so high, I felt that the difference was not big. Now I see the ideal of smart driving with a little blue light on the road, and I am a little envious. When the new model in 26 years comes out, it should be replaced.
02 Car experience
1. Energy consumption and battery life: pick up the car for 706 days, driving a total of 52,716 kilometers, the power consumption is about 16-18 when you turn on it yourself, and the power consumption is about 13-15 when you turn on it. The road conditions are basically driving in cities, elevated roads, and cross-city highways without going off-road.
This Ideal has accompanied me back to Wuhan for 4 trips, going back and forth, and adding various tours. It is almost 3,000 kilometers, and I work hard. The high-speed driving comfort is indeed very good. Unfortunately, because of the large chassis structure and body in the city, it is now a comfortable magic carpet + sports + the lightest steering wheel + the maximum kinetic energy recovery.
Among family cars, especially when it comes to dad cars, ideals are definitely one of the best.
2. Configuration experience: Because I am an old car owner. Now the new version of the entire series is equipped with standard lidar. But without the support of lidar and 8295 chips, the overall performance of my 23 PRO is still smooth and does not get stuck.
I just really hope to upgrade the lidar at your own expense, and the NOA of the old PRO is mentally retarded. It basically does not change lanes automatically, and it depends entirely on turning on the turn signal. It is very inconvenient. This is definitely a serious backwardness.
As mentioned at the press conference in the first quarter of 2024, you can pay to upgrade to 8295, but it was ruined in the end, without any further information.
The co-pilot watched the movie. When he was tired, he lay down in the car. The trunk loading capacity was very strong. In addition, if you plan to travel remotely during holidays, a suitcase would be added to the roof.
3. Control experience: As a purely family car with children, the ideal of the old model is not very control. Such a large car does not require control, but the comfort is still very good.
I have tested the new new version of the ideal L8 with a double chamber single valve, which is indeed much better than the 23 models. Unfortunately, it is not a double chamber with a double valve. If it is a double valve, it will be more perfect. I hope that this can be upgraded when it is a minor facelift in 26 years.
4. Wisdom driving experience: After picking up the car in July 23, around the end of 24, the overall OTA has improved significantly, and I was impressed by the upgrades such as increasing range, Magic Carpet 2.0, GTP, etc. The upgrade in the past six months has become nonsense, and the old 23 models owners basically cannot feel it.
However, the overall 23 cars are not only behind smart driving, but the rest are still good. The 23 model's intelligent driving is very bad. It basically needs to change lanes manually at high speeds. NOA is useless, and the computing power of Horizon 5 can no longer keep up.
5. Here we need to mention ideal after-sales service. The ideal after-sales service is direct sales, non-cooperatives or franchisees. I have also driven a car for 15 years, and I am half an old driver. After experiencing Mazda, Audi, BMW, and Hyundai, the ideal after-sales service is really super powerful. During the warranty period, I can basically solve it for 48 hours.
Although I saw the abuse of ideals flying all over the Internet, it was a minority after all. The car is not very good, and the emotional value of after-sales service is still very full.
