Tesla Mengekspor Kendaraan Model 3 & Model Y Buatan Shanghai ke Kanada – CleanTechnica

Laporan oleh Reuters says that Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles manufactured in Shanghai are now available for immediate delivery to Canadian customers. According to Tesla’s Canadian website, both rear-wheel-drive Model Y vehicles and the long-range, all-wheel-drive versions of the Model 3 are now available for immediate delivery to people who live in British Columbia. Both models qualify for federal electric car purchase incentives of C$5,000 ($3,700). Unlike the United States, Canada does not link electric vehicle subsidies to the location of the factory where the cars are made.

The rear-wheel-drive Model Y has a list price of C$61,990 in Canada. The dual-motor Model 3 costs C$64,990 as of this morning. Reuters says the Model Y price is 22% higher than the list price for that car in China, which no doubt reflects some of the cost of shipping cars to Canada from Shanghai. DriveTeslaKanada reports that the first shipload of cars from Shanghai arrived last weekend and that a second ship, the Viking Sea, departed from Shanghai on Sunday and is scheduled to arrive in Vancouver on June 3, 2023, according to ship manifest records supplied by pencari kapal.

Reuters explains that Tesla uses a code when listing vehicles for sale that corresponds to the first three digits of the vehicle identification number. The VIN for Tesla models built by the Shanghai factory all start with the letters “LRW.” Tesla said last month that it would offer a new, cheaper version of its Model Y in Canada, a rear-wheel-drive variant of the SUV-style crossover that would qualify for Canadian government incentives. The cars qualifying for that subsidy on Tesla’s website carry a VIN code showing they were built by the company’s Shanghai factory.

Reuters and Elon Musk got into a bit of a spat last year when it was reported that Tesla was considering exporting cars manufactured in Shanghai to the US. “False,” said Musk in a tweet. Reuters was wrong. It should have said Tesla was considering exporting cars from China to North America, something that has now happened in reality.

Exporting cars from Shanghai to Canada could help Tesla keep vehicles made at its factories in California and Texas for sale in the United States, where they qualify for potential tax incentives of up to $7,500 under the Biden administration’s subsidy program. It also opens a new market for Tesla Shanghai, which last year accounted for more than half of the company’s production.

Tesla Pabrik shanghai memproduksi EV untuk dijual di China dan ekspor ke pasar luar negeri, termasuk Eropa. Tetapi Tesla menghadapi persaingan yang semakin ketat dalam hal harga dan fitur dari pembuat EV di China, dan pabriknya di Berlin telah meningkatkan produksi Model Y untuk pelanggan di Eropa.

An anonymous source has supplied a Tesla production plan to Reuters that shows the company has designed and tested Model Y vehicles built in Shanghai for export to North America, with a target of producing nearly 9,000 of them this quarter. The source claims those cars are intended to be sold in Canada.

Customers in western Canada may be able to take delivery of a Chinese made Model 3 or Model Y within a few weeks. Those who live in central and eastern Canada may have to wait a bit longer because the cars will need to be trucked from Vancouver to Tesla delivery centers near them. DriveTeslaKanada expects Canadians with Teslas on order will be getting delivery updates soon.

Sudden Unintended Acceleration Update

Tesla has been the target of “sudden unintended acceleration” allegations for years. Earlier this year, a Model 3 crashed at a West Vancouver ferry terminal, resulting in a total loss. The driver claimed that accident happened because the car accelerated unexpectedly.

But West Vancouver Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Mark McLean said over the weekend, “Following an analysis of the vehicle data, the investigators determined the collision to be human caused.” As a result, the 68-year-old driver was issued a ticket for driving without due care and attention.

Pekan lalu, seorang mantan pengemudi untuk layanan ride-hailing Revel di New York City menggugat Tesla karena katanya Model Y yang dia kendarai "tiba-tiba dan otomatis" berakselerasi. Pengemudi mengklaim dia sengaja menabrakkan mobil untuk menghindari menabrak pejalan kaki. Menurut pengacaranya, “Dia menginjak rem. Dia menjalankan mobil, melepaskan kakinya dari rem, dan kemudian mobil itu melompat ke depan. Saat dia melepaskan kakinya dari rem, dia kehilangan kendali atas Tesla. Bahkan setelah menginjak rem, mobil itu tidak mau berhenti. Dia mencoba mengembalikan mobil ke tempat parkir tetapi itu juga tidak berhasil.

Pekan lalu, seorang sopir taksi di Norwegia mengklaim miliknya Model Y mengamuk dan menabrak beberapa bangunan. Dia nanti mengeluarkan kutipan oleh polisi.

Meskipun ada protes keras dari Tesla bahwa mobilnya tidak memiliki masalah akselerasi yang tiba-tiba tidak diinginkan, Administrator Negara untuk Regulasi Pasar di China telah mengeluarkan penarikan kembali produk untuk 1.1 juta Tesla. Itu membutuhkan Tesla untuk memulihkan fitur yang memungkinkan pengemudi menonaktifkan pengereman regeneratif. Pembaruan akan dimulai 29 Mei dan akan memulihkan opsi untuk menonaktifkan pengereman regeneratif. Itu juga akan memperingatkan pengemudi ketika mereka menginjak pedal akselerator dengan keras.

Apparently, some drivers are confused by “one-pedal driving,” a feature of most electric cars. When the accelerator is released, the electric motor that powers the car turns into a generator that sends electricity back to the battery to boost range. But some drivers apparently do not understand the process and think if they need to brake harder, they should press the accelerator.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has conducted an investigation into reports of SUI incidents involving Teslas. After looking into more than 200 crash incidents, the agency concluded driver error was the cause. Specifically, the NHTSA found Tesla drivers were mistaking the accelerator for the brake. That is exactly what police in West Vancouver concluded after investigating the crash last January at the ferry docks.

That Tesla SUA Blog Post

Tesla menangani masalah akselerasi tiba-tiba yang tidak diinginkan secara langsung dalam a posting blog pada Januari 2020 di mana dikatakan penjual pendek Tesla bertanggung jawab atas beberapa klaim. Inilah yang dikatakan Tesla:

“We investigate every single incident where the driver alleges to us that their vehicle accelerated contrary to their input, and in every case where we had the vehicle’s data, we confirmed that the car operated as designed. In other words, the car accelerates if, and only if, the driver told it to do so, and it slows or stops when the driver applies the brake.

“While accidents caused by a mistaken press of the accelerator pedal have been alleged for nearly every make/model of vehicle on the road, the accelerator pedals in Model S, X and 3 vehicles have two independent position sensors, and if there is any error, the system defaults to cut off motor torque. Likewise, applying the brake pedal simultaneously with the accelerator pedal will override the accelerator pedal input and cut off motor torque, and regardless of the torque, sustained braking will stop the car.

“Unique to Tesla, we also use the Autopilot sensor suite to help distinguish potential pedal misapplications and cut torque to mitigate or prevent accidents when we’re confident the driver’s input was unintentional. Each system is independent and records data, so we can examine exactly what happened.”

That last part should be of interest to Tesla owners. If you are involved in a collision, your car may be a witness against you. Caveat emptor.
