Almighty crossover king

Chapter 1070 Ford's Response

The news of the cooperation negotiations between GM and Tesla was quickly reported by the media.

After the news came out, it caused a huge sensation in the entire auto market.

General Motors is an American auto giant, and Tesla is an emerging new energy giant.The impact of the cooperation between these two car companies will be great.

The most direct effect is that GM's stock ushered in a rise.This made shareholders extremely excited, knowing that GM stock has been falling for a long, long time.

For shareholders, they are already desperate.But now a special plane is ushered in, and the news made GM's stock rise by [-]%.

It can be seen that shareholders attach great importance to Tesla.This change suddenly stimulated other auto groups.

Seeing such a reaction, GM Group paid more attention to cooperation.

Ford Group, as one of the Big Three in the United States.Ford's life is also difficult, even more difficult than GM.

Its brands are having a hard time, and the Ford brand's global market share has fallen sharply.

The high-end brand Lincoln is even more tragic, and its sales in the United States are pitifully low.GM still has a Cadillac anyway.Although Cadillac is not as good as the top three German brands, its sales are not bad.

But the Lincoln in Ford's hands has become a tragedy.Sales were extremely poor, so this made it difficult for Ford as well.

Now Ford's focus has shifted to other industries.But as an automobile group, its main business is still the automobile business.

The cooperation between GM and Tesla has made Ford take it seriously.Cooperating with Tesla, Ford has been in contact, but the current progress is not very smooth.

Tesla does not cooperate with anyone who wants to cooperate.Almost all car brands have issued cooperation applications to Tesla.

Including the powerful German and Japanese, but they were all rejected by Tesla.Tesla has a timely lead in the field of new energy vehicles.

And relying on China's huge market, the industrial layout was quickly completed.Huge sales have promoted faster updates and replacements of Tesla's technology.

Especially after the emergence of all-solid-state batteries, Tesla has directly established its position as the king in the field of new energy vehicles.

Now the world's major automakers are actually very depressed.Now these brands have also launched some new energy vehicles, but all of them are lithium battery vehicles.

And all the lithium batteries they purchased were purchased from China.As for the all-solid-state battery, they have no news at all.

But Tesla's cars have already used all-solid-state batteries.The advantages of all-solid-state batteries are clear to everyone.

Lithium battery electric vehicles have a battery life of [-] kilometers, which is considered awesome.But the all-solid-state battery can easily make the cruising range exceed [-] kilometers.

Clearly visible technology gap, this gap cannot be made up by investment in research and development in a short period of time.This technological gap makes them feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

They can also guess a little bit about Tesla's purpose.The reason why all-solid-state batteries are not popularized is because Tesla's lithium-ion battery models are enough to beat all brands.

Powerful electronic control technology allows Tesla's lithium battery models to have a cruising range of up to [-] kilometers.Looking at the models of other companies, most of the cruising range is less than [-].

Only a very small number of models have a cruising range of more than five hundred but not six hundred.As for [-] kilometers, it is still a huge technical problem for major car companies around the world.

Not to mention the comparison with models with all-solid-state batteries.Some of the all-solid-state models have a cruising range of [-] kilometers.

In the era of electric vehicles, the length of cruising range represents the strength of technology.Everyone has endurance phobia for pure electric vehicles.

In addition to battery electronic control technology, Tesla is also in a leading position in fast charging technology.According to their understanding, the new generation of fast charging technology that Tesla is currently developing has achieved a technological breakthrough.

This technology can more than triple the current charging technology.This technology can shorten the charging speed of an electric vehicle with a range of 500 kilometers from the current one hour to 10 minutes.

These technologies have made those auto giants feel desperate.They also want to overtake on curves, but unfortunately Tesla's investment in technology research and development is much more terrifying than theirs.

Zhang Fan is a master who is not short of money.Not only the development of all-solid-state batteries, but also graphene batteries, as well as high-voltage flash charging technology and so on.

And it has been at the forefront of these research and development.Other groups want to compare with Tesla as hard as possible.

What frustrates those car companies the most is that their new energy R&D teams are pitifully poached by Tesla.

Long Teng Group's headhunters have been frantically poaching around the world since the beginning of Tesla's establishment.

The remuneration given was very high, and various methods were used.Ask for money for money, ask for beautiful women for beautiful women, and for handsome men for handsome men.

For those who really can't dig, Longteng Group has tried every means to destroy these people.The headhunters of Longteng Group had a great time playing all kinds of ways to play dead people.

Anyway, Longteng Group has more special funds for this.This way of playing has led to the fact that in the field of new energy, other companies cannot compare with Longteng Group at all, and even caused a big generation gap in the middle.

"Everyone, according to the latest news, the reason why GM was able to reach a cooperation with Tesla is because GM is planning to sell the Hummer brand to Longteng Group for one dollar."

In Ford's conference room, a young man said seriously.

"Does this news do anything for us? Can we stop GM?"

A shareholder couldn't help asking.

"No, GM attaches great importance to this cooperation. We can't stop it, but we can see some things from this incident. Let's look at Tesla, which acquired Hongqi in China, Maserati at the same time, and now Hummer , obviously, Tesla seems to have a great preference for the acquisition of the brand. We also have a document here..."

The young man said with a smile, and then took out another piece of data.

"In the past two years, Tesla's acquisition team has submitted acquisition applications for many brands."

A piece of information was taken out, and everyone froze when they saw it.Tesla has actually applied for the acquisition of so many brands.

There are so many brands, and these brands are all familiar brands.

"And now in our hands, there are some things that Tesla may be very interested in."

Then what the young people said made everyone interested. Ford has several brands in its hands.Some brands are losing money now. If Tesla is really interested, it doesn't matter if they sell to Tesla.
