¡¾Most Dissatisfied¡¿
The in-vehicle navigation system is difficult to use, which forces me to install a phone holder and use my phone for navigation as a supplement. This is something I don't want to see because doesn't using phone navigation mean that the most commonly used function of the large screen in the car is actually useless? The voice assistant is also difficult to use. It can't be voice-activated and can only be summoned by pressing a button, which is really troublesome. It's okay while driving, but if you're sleeping in the back and want to perform simple operations, you have to get up and climb to the front row to press the button. Moreover, the voice assistant can only perform simple operations on the basic in-vehicle functions and lacks any intelligence. The vehicle has poor noise isolation. When driving on a very flat road at a speed of over 70, there will be unpleasant noises, including tire noise and wind noise. It becomes even more intolerable when the speed reaches 100, and I can only relieve it by listening to music. On uneven roads, the noise is also unbearable even at a speed of 40 - 50.

The vehicle has strong power. The natural advantage of electric vehicles is the instant power response. The high torque at low speeds means that every time I step on the accelerator, there is an immediate power response. Although my car is a rear-wheel-drive version, the power is more than enough. Every time I go through a traffic light, I thought the cars behind were stationary at first, which really startled me. Later, I realized that it was because the speed difference between me and them was too large. The chassis performs excellently. The steering is smooth, precise, and easy to use. The steering wheel can be turned all the way around in one turn, and it can handle large or sharp turns with ease. Although the shock absorption of the chassis is not perfect, the road feel is clear. When passing over bumpy roads, the vehicle doesn't keep shaking, and the vibrations are quickly transmitted. Although it affects the riding experience to some extent, the overall performance is still okay.
¡¾Car Buying Experience¡¿
At first, my target cars were mid-size sedans like the Accord and Passat, which are B-segment cars, as well as small hot hatchbacks like the Audi A3 two-door version and the Golf. I've loved these two types of cars since I was a child and am quite fascinated by the mechanical feeling of fuel-powered cars. I also test-drove these models, but I clearly felt that the concepts and in-vehicle systems of these cars were too traditional. Especially after I accidentally visited a Tesla official store and experienced the technological sense of the new Model 3, I couldn't stand the overall feeling of traditional fuel-powered cars anymore. However, the biggest obstacle I had with pure electric vehicles was range anxiety. But after test-driving the refreshed Model 3 twice in April and May last year, my range anxiety completely disappeared. When my family mentioned buying me a car during the Spring Festival this year, I didn't hesitate to tell them that I wanted to buy the refreshed Model 3, a pure electric vehicle. They had the same range anxiety problem as I did at first, but I patiently explained the specific details to them and dispelled their anxiety. After the Spring Festival, I went to the official store to look at the car again. I still felt the same excitement, so I quickly placed an order for the car and then went to Hohhot with my girlfriend to pick it up. The day after picking up the car, I went back to Shijiazhuang to register the car and choose a license plate that my girlfriend and I both liked. Then there were all kinds of stories along the way, and of course, there will be many more stories in the future.
¡¾Car Delivery Price¡¿
At that time, my car had an 8,000 insurance subsidy and a five-year interest-free loan option. The only preferential policy I could enjoy was the 5,000 new purchase subsidy in Hohhot. However, when you add up the insurance cost, license plate registration fee, and all the miscellaneous expenses, the total price of the car was close to 230,000.
¡¾Space Performance¡¿
Although it's a sedan, I'm really satisfied with the space in this car. I think both the passenger space and the storage space are quite good. However, the rear seats are indeed not very comfortable to sit on. I'm very satisfied with the storage space after using it extensively. The front trunk can fit a 20-inch suitcase, and the rear trunk can fit two 30-inch suitcases. There are also many storage spaces inside the car. There are good storage spaces under the four doors and in the center console. My girlfriend and I often go on self-driving trips, and basically, we can bring all the things we need for long-distance driving, including mattresses, pillows, quilts, camping chairs, clothes, and various daily necessities.
¡¾Range and Energy Consumption¡¿
I'm quite satisfied with the range and energy consumption of the car. Currently, the energy consumption of my car is 126 wh/km, and the full-charge range is basically 497 km, which is better than the 451 km shown on the dashboard. Moreover, I find the charging speed acceptable.
