Some time ago, Henan was hit by extreme rains, and many places were hit by disasters. Private cars were also severely affected by the “July 20” flood in Zhengzhou.Public data shows that more than 400,000 private cars were flooded in Zhengzhou during the flood.For some flooded cars, if the instrument panel is flooded by water, the insurance company will often make a total loss claim to the car owner. These vehicles are recycled and disposed of by the insurance company.
However, these vehicles are often relatively new, and insurance companies will not discard all of them. Some groups and repair shops will take these vehicles at very low prices.
After the Tesla Model 3, which went on the market in March this year, was completely flooded, the second-hand website offered a price of 75,000 yuan. After repairing, the repair shop will sell the vehicle a second time.
In order to prevent these total loss of second-hand cars from entering the market, Tesla introduced its own response policy.
A few days ago, we learned from relevant channels that in order to prevent Zhengzhou flooding and total damage vehicles from entering the market,Tesla locked the DC charging function of the 7.20 Zhengzhou flooding total damage vehicle, which is the “fast charging function” of the vehicle.
For consumers, if the purchased second-hand Tesla does not have a fast charging function, it means that these vehicles are the total loss of Zhengzhou flooded vehicles, and they can’t buy them.
And those second-hand car dealers and repair shops, because the vehicle does not have a fast charging function, even if the vehicle is repaired, it cannot be sold normally, so they will not buy these vehicles.
Therefore, Tesla’s move has avoided the possibility of second-hand flooded and total-damaged cars entering the market from the source.For consumers, this behavior deserves encouragement, and other car manufacturers should follow up and learn.
