He was so impatient that he actually managed to get the first AIWAYS U5 off the assembly line.

Located in Dalian, Liaoning Province, GK, a mysterious man, made at least 5-7 calls a week from the moment he made the decision, and took turns "harassing" him from the product department to the vice president. Finally, he got the first officially delivered car on the eve of its launch. Chi U5, to be honest, this is the first time I have encountered such a rush to buy a car... "Buying an electric car is for the convenience of life." According to GK's more down-to-earth statement, it is himself Cancer attacks from time to time.[ · 三个理由说服自己必须买辆电动车 · ]The fact that the three cold provinces of Northeast China are still so obsessed with electric vehicles is the main reason why I wanted to interview GK. But GK calmly listed three reasons for me to buy an electric car, which made me think: Well... a straight steel engineer, buying a car is to serve your life anyway, and your own convenience is the most important. ● Primary reason: Because I work in the manufacturing industry and like cars very much. “Because of my work, I often come into contact with knowledge and information related to machinery and technology. After removing complex and cumbersome mechanical structures such as engines and gearboxes, electric vehicles will be relatively simple. "GK, who has a manufacturing background, pays more attention and research to electric vehicles, and has the idea of ​​​​experience it personally. “I have experienced Weilai, driven a Model S, and almost bought a Model Strengthen this car enthusiast's decision to buy. ● Advanced experience: I bought a plug-in hybrid car, but I have a soft spot for pure electric driving. After the initial experience, GK actually bought a car, although it was a plug-in hybrid car (Volvo XC90E Hybrid T8) , but during driving, you can experience the pleasure of "static braking" in pure electric mode. "Every time I drive pure electric, I feel beautiful because it is really quiet. When caught in a traffic jam or driving in the suburbs, autonomous driving can indeed temporarily free your hands. Pure electric technology combined with technology can really change and make life more convenient." Because of this car. After plugging into a hybrid car, GK became more and more aware that he needed an electric car, because the current pure electric range of this car is only 50km (actual driving has never exceeded 38km). For him, the comfortable driving experience is too short-lived. . ● Make the decision to buy a car: The outbreak of lazy cancer reaches its peak. Can you imagine what it feels like to queue up for gas, queue up to pay, and queue up to issue tickets in the cold three northeastern provinces? When GK's laziness cancer reached its peak, he began to feel uncontrollably. What made him wonder was, in this era of increasingly advanced technology, why do we still waste time in these places? Then simply buy an electric car to save time, effort and lower subsequent costs. "Because I have a private car, it is more cost-effective to buy an electric car in terms of cost and convenience." Although GK described the reasons for buying an electric car so briefly, during the chat, I found that this The big boy's interests still seem to be inseparable from his professional background and love for cars, because the topic often returns to mechanical structure and three-electric technology again and again...[ · 车友们发问：为什么上赶着买爱驰？ · ]Returning to the new car in front of you, why did you choose a new car-making force? And why do you have to choose AIWAYS? In fact, this is the first question many car enthusiasts have about GK. As far as buying electric vehicles is concerned, it is really unpredictable to buy a product from a new car company. It is still so proactive. Firstly, in the field of new energy vehicles, the products of independent brands are more mature and stable; secondly, even among the new car-making forces, NIO, Weimar and Xiaopeng have already emerged, not to mention the impact of Tesla’s strength, so when I asked When asked whether GK was an "impulsive purchase", he gave me an unexpected answer. ● Believe in the traditional automobile industry team, and even more believe in the master’s blessing. During a business trip, GK happened to encounter the AIWAYS U5 that was unveiled at the auto show (it was still in the concept car stage at the time). At that time, it was still ridiculing the popularity of PPT car building. Because he came into contact with cars earlier and has great interest in them, GK has a different view on the automotive industry, especially traditional car companies. “Traditional car companies always rely on market and capital advantages, and innovation means squeezing out toothpaste without sparing any effort. , in contrast, new power manufacturers are more willing to make breakthroughs and innovations for consumers, but in the era when PPT car manufacturing is popular, who dares to make a choice easily?" What GK himself did not expect was that after a conversation, He really thought about it, and even gave up the Tesla he wanted to buy, and decided to become an angel car owner of AIWAYS U5. But in the end, it was the power from industry masters that made GK determined. "Roland Gumpert! Kiyuki Okuyama! Do you know these two people? They are already top figures in the automotive industry. I don’t think they will damage their reputation in the industry because of their own interests. Staying at AIWAYS will definitely give them more opportunities. Good freedom and decision-making power." After learning that the father of quattro and the legendary designer had joined, GK also repeatedly paid attention to some reports about the AIWAYS factory and production progress to ensure that his choice was correct. As for how to persuade family members, GK was relatively calm, "After my long-term brainwashing, everyone is ready to make a move. In fact, the problem with buying a car is not whether they will accept it or not, but whether it is good or not, they will not buy it." , it’s up to whoever buys and uses it.”[ · 一周后，驾驶感受新鲜出炉 · ]Finally, let’s talk about the experience of using the car. Although it didn’t take long to pick up the car, the attentive GK still summarized some advantages and disadvantages of the AIWAYS U5. Not only did he present them to interested car owners for reference, but he also repeatedly communicated with customer service to discuss them. Feedback the problem to the manufacturer, hoping that the vehicle can be improved and users can have a better experience. "Because I have been paying attention to this car and new energy vehicles for so long, I have no big surprises or disappointments." After getting the car and driving it for a week, GK believed that the performance of the AIWAYS U5 was within his expectations. Because of its background as a traditional car company and the participation of industry masters, GK's standards for vehicle experience have become more stringent. After a week of driving, I still discovered some small details that can move people's hearts about the U5: The interior design is thoughtful, combining Nordic style and practicality, and just feels right. The chassis is very solid, and the driving feel, directionality, and suspension adjustment are beyond my expectations. Car-machine interconnection and voice recognition are accurate and practical, not a gimmick. AIWAYS customer service is really the fastest I have ever seen with the fastest response and the most return calls, especially for a night owl like me. Taking into account the many problems currently faced by new energy vehicles, GK is already prepared to experience new things in advance, but so far, the performance of AIWAYS U5 is very stable, and it has not experienced any unexpected events. situation. What makes him more satisfied is that AIWAYS's car-machine system finally doesn't feel useless. From the Ford pickup truck that he came into contact with at work in the early days, to the various cars and machines that he gradually started playing with because of his hobby, GK even used the word "desperate" to describe the process. It was imprecise, unclear, and not smooth. It was so laborious and difficult. It's better to just take out your phone. In addition, GK continues to praise AIWAYS’s customer service. “AIWAYS’ customer service is really the fastest I’ve ever seen with the fastest response times and the most return visits. Generally, they can still deal with you before 12 o’clock at night.” From APP updates and voice assistants From use to installation of charging piles, high-speed data usage, etc., facing GK, a night owl with many problems, customer service quickly solved them one by one. Don't ask me why I know so much about it, because while we were chatting, we encountered an information point that we couldn't determine, and the elder brother started bombarding the customer service again... After all the praise, GK also complained to me about an issue, which is the creation of accessories that allow car owners to DIY independently. If the products of Zhongchuang Interface cannot be provided in the short term, can it be equipped with some detachable accessories as standard to facilitate use and avoid wasting space? Regarding the overall usage of the vehicle, GK said that it can only provide these at present. From the perspective of commuting alone, the current performance of AIWAYS U5 is quite satisfactory to him. As for the long-distance performance that many car owners in the car enthusiast group are concerned about, GK said that it currently has no plans to drive long-distance self-driving electric vehicles. For longer-distance travel, the principle of flying > high-speed rail > driving is the main priority. In the process of chatting with GK, I can always feel that he maintains a very optimistic attitude towards new things such as electric vehicles and new car companies. He is not only good at accepting them, but also uses his professional knowledge to constantly ask questions and hopes that cars Enterprises can listen to the voices of users and improve product quality. Admittedly, this also coincides with the concept of new energy companies focusing on the user field, creating a virtuous circle and jointly promoting the healthy development of the new energy automobile industry.
