American electric vehicle giant Tesla China Saturday (May 13) said that in orderSlai vehicles can choose energy recycling braking strength; reminders when driver staff stepped on accelerated pedals for a long time.This upgrade was made after Tesla's largest recall of China on Friday.
The official website of the General Administration of Market Supervision issued a notice on Friday. Due to the hidden safety hazards of the pedal, Tesla will recall more than 1.1 million cars in China, including three imported models and Chinese Model 3 and Model YEssence
According to the First Financial Report, Tesla China said on Saturday that the latest technical upgrade is simply two.Standard uses energy braking recycling, and can also drive Tesla like a traditional fuel vehicle; second, if the accelerator (electric door) is brakes, the vehicle will remind.
Tesla also said that energy recycling braking is a new technology and is also a controversial topic.The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China has made it clear that it is not a Tesla unique, and many new energy vehicle brands are widely equipped.
The so -called energy recycling braking refers to the vehicle drives the motor to generate electricity, thereby recycling energy while reducing the speed.This function allows the vehicle to convert the energy that was originally converted by the brake pads into heat into electric energy to store electricity to save electricity, optimize battery life, reduce driving fatigue, and at the same time provides a deceleration effect that meets most of the driving scenarios.
Reporting pointed out that most of Tesla's current electric vehicles that have been sold in China have not allowed drivers to choose energy recovery braking strategies;No reminder is provided.These factors are superimposed to increase the probability of crossing the acceleration pedal for a long time, which may increase the risk of collision, and there are hidden safety hazards.
Tesla said that after the recall of OTA, the energy recycling brake function users can choose to use or not."Car owners who like energy recycling brake can continue to choose the standard mode, control the speed of the vehicle by the foot, and increase the vehicle 10%to 20%of the battery life, reduce the wear disk and brake pads.You can choose a low mode first to transition. "
Tesla clearly made it clear:" Energy recycling braking is not equal to the brakes. The driver needs to maintain good driving habits. In the event of an emergencyImplement braking. "
