Happily “rush to launch” the first lidar model Xiaopeng P5, butXiaopeng MotorsInvestors did not buy it.
At the close of trading on April 14 EST, the share prices of the new forces in the U.S. stock market have all fallen, butXiaopeng MotorsThe decline was significantly higher thanWei Laicar,Ideal carwithTesla. As of the close of the day,Xiaopeng MotorsThe stock price fell 7.3% to 32.89 US dollars, and the total market value was 25.98 billion US dollars.
The sharp drop in stock prices may have been affected by two major events that happened yesterday in Xiaopeng Motors. Yesterday afternoon, there was a video on the Internet that suspected the spontaneous combustion of the Xiaopeng G3; and that night, Xiaopeng Motors officially released the third production car Xiaopeng P5.Xiaopeng P5, as the world’s first lidar model plus the selling point of the “23-hour smart third space”, was originally used by Xiaopeng Motors to compete withTesla“Squad” is a proud work, but shortly after the press conference, the design of Xiaopeng P5 caused widespread controversy.
“It is useless to be dismissed by the appearance, even if it is equipped with a laser cannon.” A netizen commented.
carAnalystZhang Xiang told the “International Finance News” reporter that on the one hand, Xiaopeng P5 is indeed equipped with the latest technologies and services such as lidar, full-scene on-board system, front seat reclining, and optional theater mode; on the other hand, the appearance design is indeed also Affected by these new features, the final sales volume may depend on whether the price is close enough to the people.
Xiaopeng is spontaneous again?
Yesterday afternoon, some netizens broke the news that a Xiaopeng G3 near the Metropolitan Plaza in Tianhe District, Guangzhou had spontaneous combustion. According to the circulated video, Xiaopeng G3 first emitted a large amount of white smoke from the chassis, and then an open flame appeared. When the firefighters arrived at the scene, the vehicle had ignited a raging fire. Then firefighters put out the fire and the fire was under control. There were no casualties at the scene.
A reporter from “International Finance News” asked Xiaopeng Motors for verification, but as of press time, Xiaopeng Motors did not respond.
However, according to relevant media reports, Xiaopeng Motors has confirmed that the “Internet transmission of a Xiaopeng G3 on fire in the parking lot of a building in Guangzhou” is true, and responded that the company team has rushed to the scene to help users deal with it immediately after the incident. At present, the vehicles and personnel on site are safe. The Xiaopeng Motors team is investigating the cause of the accident, and the matter is being further processed.
It can be seen from the video that the spontaneous Xiaopeng G3 is in front of a charging pile. It is reported that the charging station belongs to Xiaopeng Automobile’s cooperative charging station, with a total of 8 fast charging and 6 slow charging charging stations. Many people in the industry speculated that the fire was caused by charging problems.
This is not the first time that Xiaopeng Automobile has spontaneously ignited.
In February of this year, it was reported that a Xiaopeng P7 caught fire on the streets of Zhaoqing, Guangdong. This was also the first spontaneous combustion accident publicly reported since the small-scale delivery of the Xiaopeng P7 in July 2020. From the video, white smoke came out from the tail of a white Xiaopeng P7 parked on the side of the street. Then the left rear wheel of the vehicle burst into flames, and finally the Xiaopeng P7 burned to the skeleton.
According to the official staff of Xiaopeng Motors, officials have been involved in the investigation and there were no casualties in the accident. However, the specific cause of spontaneous combustion has not been officially announced by Xiaopeng Motors.
In August last year, a Xiaopeng G3 in the Pazhou Science and Technology Building in Haizhu District, Guangzhou also had a smoke and fire accident. Xiaopeng Motors said that it was initially judged that the cause of the accident was that there were obvious and serious bumps on the bottom of the battery box of the vehicle that caused serious damage to the battery.
At the end of January this year, Xiaopeng Motors carried out a large-scale recall, recalling some of the Xiaopeng G3 cars produced from March 29, 2019 to September 27, 2020, a total of 13,399 units. The total delivery of Xiaopeng Motors in 2020 is 27,000, which means that the recall volume reached nearly half of last year’s sales.
It is reported that the reason for this recall is that the inverter may cause no high-voltage power supply. When this happens, if the vehicle is parked, it may not be able to start again; if the vehicle is in a driving state, it may cause the vehicle to lose power. Security risks.
The new car’s exterior design stretches?
Immediately after the spontaneous combustion incident, on the evening of April 14, Xiaopeng Motors released its third mass-produced model, the Xiaopeng P5, but the current online reviews of this car are mixed.
Before the Xiaopeng P5 went on the market, Xiaopeng Motors had carried out a longer period of warm-up on it. One of the biggest highlights of Xiaopeng P5 is that it is equipped with two car-grade lidars, which is the world’s first lidar model.
At the Guangzhou Auto Show in November last year, Xiaopeng Motors made it clear that starting from 2021, the models produced by Xiaopeng Motors will upgrade their self-driving software and hardware systems and use lidar technology to improve performance. Lidar can effectively improve the high-precision recognition performance of vehicles, cover more and more detailed usage scenarios, and can effectively support the realization of low-speed NGP functions in future cities.
It is reported that the Xiaopeng P5 released this time is equipped with 13 high-definition cameras, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic sensors, 2 car-grade lidars, a total of 32 sensors and a set of high-precision positioning units (GNSS+IMU) , 360° dual fusion perception of vision + radar of the environment can achieve higher-level XPILOT 3.5 autopilot assistance capabilities.
This is also the relationship between Xiaopeng Motors andTeslaThere is a significant difference in the specific technical route of autonomous driving. Tesla clearly opposes lidar and uses a neural network model.
Tesla had an old grievance with Xiaopeng Motors over the “Cao Guangzhi stealing trade secrets” case. Perhaps in this context, Musk reposted the above news and “ridiculed” Xiaopeng Motors in the air, and Xiaopeng Motors CEO He Xiaopeng responded directly, “Starting next year, you must be prepared to be beaten by us in autonomous driving in China. As for the international market, we will meet.”
But it was the Xiaopeng P5 that made He Xiaopeng so confident that it was “sieged” by many netizens shortly after its release. The netizens focused on the design and thought it was “not good-looking”.
“Xiaopeng P5 and Xiaopeng P7 are indeed quite different in appearance design.” Zhang Xiang told reporters that the reason for such a big difference may be related to the new features of Xiaopeng P5 and the newly added lidar, because the appearance design is much affected. The constraints are not entirely based on aesthetics, but are also affected by the interior trim, interior systems and internal components.
It is reported that Xiaopeng P5 has newly added the selling point of creating a “23-hour smart third space” in addition to living space and working space. To achieve this goal, Xiaopeng P5 has a large demand for interior space and is small. Peng P5 also designed the front seat fully flat design, the curtain in the car to open the theater mode and other functions.
Zhang Xiang believes that these latest technologies designed for young people and the two newly added lidars will inevitably affect the appearance design of Xiaopeng P5, which can be said to have advantages and disadvantages, but the final sales may still depend on the price of Xiaopeng P5. .
Public information shows that the blind booking price of Xiaopeng P5 will be announced at the Shanghai Auto Show on April 19, and the specific price will be announced in the third quarter of this year. The first batch of users can make the car by the end of 2021.
Although the specific price has not been announced, according to the positioning of the Xiaopeng P5, it is lower than the Xiaopeng P7. The industry generally believes that the price of the Xiaopeng P5 will be between 150,000 and 200,000 yuan.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Xiaopeng P5 will soon usher in the competition of Polar Fox Alpha S, which is also equipped with Lidar, under BAIC New Energy. It is reported that the Polar Fox Alpha S Huawei HI version is an electric model jointly built by Polar Fox and Huawei. It will use Huawei’s self-developed mass-produced lidar. It is equipped with three Huawei 96-line lidars on the front and on both sides of the front. This model will be officially released on April 17.
According to Huawei’s Vice Chairman and Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun at the Huawei Analyst Conference on April 12, “This car (Pole Fox Alpha S) can drive 1,000 kilometers without intervention in downtown areas.”
