The social Red Sea is constantly fighting, and many players still end up. The author counted 19 niche social apps to see if these niche products really found the blue ocean.

Social apps, especially strangers socializing, are already jealous. Acquaintances’ social interaction needs the precipitation of relationship chain, which is a zero-sum game-it is difficult to make a breakthrough after one family dominates.

When strangers socialize, there seem to be more dimensions that can be expanded.

Today, I will mainly talk about strangers’ socialization, and analyze the current red sea of strangers’ socialization from three aspects: people, media and form.

Socialization, no matter how you play, is still a person. So we analyze social apps, and the simplest thing is to start with people.

I have to say that the battle for social apps has put people’s external, internal and objective environment in place and used it thoroughly.

Representatives: Detective, tinder

The two apps are consistent from the gameplay to the design pixel level: according to the positioning, the nearby people are screened out, and the avatars are displayed in the form of cards. Left sliding is not interested, and right sliding likes it; If you happen to like each other, that is, you can have a one-on-one chat.

In fact, exploration and tinder can’t be called the originator of "judging people by their appearances", but this card design and gesture interaction are different from the previous concealment and directly put "judging people by their appearances" on the table.

Detective and tinder, which are currently profitable by "subscription" members, provide the following services: super liking, unlimited regret, arbitrary change of positioning and unlimited likes; Tinder has a little more items, and boost can give priority to the display of avatars in the region, select visible objects, and manage personal data to limit the visible content of others.

However, this match method is not without its shortcomings.

I used my brother’s head, and the result has never been matched. "Yan ugly refused" for a long time, and there is no other way to find friends on this APP, so I have to give up this APP.

The highly consistent pixel level of these two apps is also considered as an epic masterpiece in the plagiarism list. The plagiarists are also very helpless. It is extremely simple to dig the old stalk of "judging people by their appearances" with interactive new gameplay.

This kind of gameplay has little room for "learning", so that others can’t copy it. Followers can only wander before being shameless and proud, and finally choose to be shameless.

This card-type design, which uses left sliding and right sliding to interact, is really simple and direct. And the services provided by members just make up for some embarrassment of interaction.

From this point of view, simplicity to the extreme is also a great weapon.

• Advantages: simple gameplay; Interaction is interesting.
• Disadvantages: passive matching and uncontrollable waiting.
• Suitable for the crowd: Yan control and Yan value confidence.

The picture above shows exploration.

The picture above shows tinder.

Representatives: as before, impression of friends, same, moment.

1) As usual

Make friends with three views, and when you first enter, there will be a basic test package, which contains some test questions about three views, taste and preference for making friends. Through the answers you submitted, find a friend who fits the three views.

However, this algorithm is still a black box and has not been published. I guess, if it is simple, these questions should have a classification. For each classification, if the score of one of the classifications is almost the same, two people can match.

There is also an "opinion square" in the middle where you can express your views by voting.

At present, no profit method has been found.

• Advantages: it seems easier to find friends if the three views are consistent; Opinion Square voting expression is more interesting.
• Disadvantages: the three views filled in are not true.
• Suitable for the crowd: people who believe in the soul and are interesting.

The picture above is the same.

2) Impression of friends

Friends impression learning uses tinder’s card design and gesture interaction. There are two ways, one is to actively search through information cards, and the other is to passively match by answering questions.

Taking the initiative to find, unlike just looking at the face value, friends’ impressions also put text information such as mind-wandering questions and answers, latest impressions, and mate selection criteria on the card. Passive matching, the answer to the question is made into a card, which is the same as tinder’s interactive way. Right sliding likes it, and left sliding doesn’t like it (but this is the old version, and the new version is made into a chat form; The old and the new can be switched, probably because it is the old version, so it is not maintained very much. There are some problems in the interaction of sliding left and right, and sometimes it can’t slide).

Compared with the old version, the new version of the chat dialog box is not as interesting as before, but it is more in line with his gameplay. For example, you have to answer questions to participate, which is really better than before. However, because of the slow update of information, users lack a sense of control, which is also a drawback.

At present, no profit method has been found.

• Advantages: For example, it goes further and directly matches the crowd through opinions. There are two ways: active and passive.
• Disadvantages: the interface is not particularly nice.
• Suitable for the crowd: heart-walkers.

The picture above shows the impression of friends-active search

The picture above shows the impression of friends-passive matching (old version)

The picture above shows the impression of friends-passive matching (new version)

3）same

Same’s gameplay is to choose the channel you are interested in, watch/post pictures and essays in the channel, and find the same hobbies as yourself-this way can be regarded as a kind of making friends through three views.

At present, no profit method has been found.

• Advantages: according to the channel group discussion, the topic concentration is high, which is easy to cause discussion and management; The interface is more beautiful.
• Disadvantages: Not yet.
• Suitable for the crowd: there is no particularly unsuitable crowd.

The picture above shows same.

4) a moment

There are many excellent articles and radio stations (and the design of an instant chat room). The biggest feature of this APP should be that the interface is very beautiful. Because the content is excellent, the UI made with these contents is also very good.

For example, the way to show the articles without pictures in the information flow is to use the default picture and mask, which enriches the information flow and marks the types, so that users can see at a glance.

At present, the way to make a profit is e-commerce, through buying people, cooperating, selling around the APP, etc. You can look at the product details page. Unlike the cold specification list, every product details page is almost an emotional article, waiting for the literary tonality of the APP.

• Advantages: excellent content and exquisite design.
• Disadvantages: the threshold is slightly higher.
• Users: young artists.

The picture above shows a moment.

Representative: celebrity circle of friends

The exploration of the inner world, in addition to the three views, also has hobbies. When socialization has become the standard of almost all apps, the apps in hobbies have not been missed.

Celebrity circle of friends is an APP in Wuhan, which mainly participates in and publishes role-related circle of friends through role-playing. The main users of this language cosplay product are teenagers aged 12-20.

Telling the truth, when I am older, I really can’t adapt to this thick youthful atmosphere. Whether you can’t get into Secondary Two or you don’t understand the sadness of 45 degrees, it’s a mistake to be old, because there will always be people who are young.

At present, the way to make a profit is to buy value-added products (gifts) in-app.

• Advantages: the area is very rich, the characters are particularly many, and the gameplay is particularly simple.
• Disadvantages: I haven’t found it yet.
• Suitable for the crowd: young people who love cos.

The picture above shows the circle of celebrity friends.

Representatives: meetup, join

The gameplay of activities in the same city is basically the same, mainly publishing/viewing activities and actively participating.

Meetup focuses on activities, and the home page is almost a list of group and activities.

Join focuses on people, and the home page is divided into diaries and encounters. Diaries focus on post information flow and meet the list of main characters, mainly to discover people, classmates, fellow villagers and peers in the same city.

Join’s activity entrance is in the second tab, and the entrance is relatively hidden compared with meetup.

Comparatively speaking, join, as a social APP in the same city, focuses on making friends online, while meetup focuses on offline activities.

Compared with most people, the organization of activities in the same city is challenging, and participation is also limited in time and space. If almost all activities are displayed, meetup’s list in unpopular areas will be empty.

Users open meetup and have to abandon it without any activity. Join provides an option to make friends online, which solves this embarrassment.

As for the profit mode, it has not been found at present.

• Advantages: join is laid out online and offline at the same time, which better solves the embarrassment when offline is insufficient.
• Disadvantages: When meetup offline is insufficient, the home page will be empty and there will be no other ways to play, which will be embarrassing.
• Suitable for the crowd: Zhai Qing (it is impossible to go out, and it is impossible to go out for a lifetime).

The picture above shows meetup.

The picture above shows join.

According to the published media, it can be divided into text, pictures, audio and video.

Representative: MarinChat

Text is basically the standard of all apps. And this MarinChat is simply a clean stream in social products, which is extremely simple-only words can be sent, and pictures are only used for the display of avatars.

You don’t need to register, you can post, reply and chat directly by setting your avatar and nickname.

Function, then only post, reply, chat, report.

• Advantages: simple; If you don’t plan to save traffic, don’t cheat.
• Disadvantages: Some people may not like this minimalist style.
• Users: At present, I only see the Japanese version.

The picture above shows MarinChat.

Representative: ins, We Heart It

There are many such apps, the most famous of which is ins, and pictures are standard for almost all social apps. Ins does not say much; We Heart It can write articles or publish pictures.

The main way of making profits is advertising at present.

• Advantages: Beautiful pictures.
• Disadvantages: writing articles can only be written on the computer.
• Suitable for the crowd: all.

The picture above shows We Heart It.

Representative: Warm friends.

Warm friends, whether posting or commenting, are in the form of voice. There are rich interactive activities about sound, and the operation is better.

But something seems to have happened recently, so I can’t log in.

At present, no profit method has been found.

• Advantages: pleasing to the ear.
• Disadvantages: It takes longer to play audio than to watch text. And can’t watch at the same time like words; And the threshold for sending audio is higher than that for sending text.
• Suitable for people: voice control.

The picture above shows warm friends.

• Short video representative: Tik Tok;
• Live representative: Mo Mo.

Needless to say, these two.

I have to admit that loneliness and desire to talk are time-sensitive.

Obviously, it is difficult to solve such a problem with the current message type information flow products or people lists, and an instant chat room is needed.

Representative: Rooit

After selecting the topic, match the chat object immediately. At present, the way to make a profit is to buy value-added products in the application, such as missing persons radar. Pairing will automatically fail if there is no interaction within 30 minutes. If you need to find the person who was paired before, you need to use the missing person radar.

• Advantages: Random pairing, instant solution to the current chat needs.
• Disadvantages: In order to avoid the initial embarrassing chat, you can add some topic cards that can be greeted in chat.
• Suitable for the crowd: staying up late at night

The picture above shows the home page of Rooit.

The picture above shows the Rooit chat interface.

The picture above shows the page of the Rooit Store.

Representative: wakie

Wakie is based on a theme, you can carry out group chat or join a specific group for group chat.

Sometimes, some simple design changes have changed the whole social atmosphere. For example, comments APPear in the form of chat boxes in this app, and each comment is a chat bubble.

Such a simple change directly erased the feeling of waiting, as if a group of people were discussing a topic in real time.

• Advantages: the startup diagram is beautiful; Topic updates are faster.
• Disadvantages: the topic lacks operation, and the user UGC is too arbitrary and not hot enough.
• Suitable for people: learning languages; People who like to chat.

The picture above shows wakie’s topic details page.

Representative: Neighbor

Click on the random phone to randomly match people for telephone communication. In addition, you can also click on each voice live room to interact with the anchor.

• Advantages: immediately solve the desire to talk.
• Disadvantages: Instant calling may make most people uncomfortable.
• Suitable for people: have a strong desire to talk or have a special purpose.

The picture above shows the neighborhood.

Representative: Youjia

It is also the first time for me to know what peripheral resources are. I was always curious about where these scantily clad girls came from. After being told by my colleagues that they were peripheral resources, I suddenly realized.

In addition to Youjia, there are many such apps. I downloaded a lot at that time, and as soon as I opened it, it was all consistent in playing, paying for video chat and giving gifts.

The profit methods include in-app purchase and VIP.

• Advantages: the gameplay is very simple, and there are peripheral resources that can be done directly, which feels quite profitable.
• Disadvantages: The page of this APP is relatively thick. crude
• Suitable for people: have a strong desire to talk or have a special purpose.

　　On June 29th, German Chancellor Angela Merkel (front right) and French President Macron (front left) took a group photo in Berlin, Germany.

　　"The recession at the economic level is transmitted to the social level, with the rise of extreme nationalism and populism, and then transmitted to the political level, forming political turmoil. This is a logical clue for problems in Europe."

　　Text/Global magazine reporter Zhang Yue

　　Sixty years ago, the leaders of France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg signed the Treaty on the European Economic Community and the Treaty on the European Atomic Energy Community (hereinafter collectively referred to as the Treaty of Rome) in Rome, marking the birth of the European Community, the predecessor of the European Union.

　　The European Community has ended hundreds of years of wars in the European continent and brought peace to Europeans. It has always been regarded as a model of regional integration. However, this "model" is facing more and more challenges: economic depression, political disunity, the rise of populism, refugee crisis and terrorist threats …

　　Why are these problems in Europe? Where will Europe go? On these issues, Global magazine interviewed Feng Zhongping, vice president of China Institute of Contemporary International Relations.

　　Step too fast

　　Global magazine: The Treaty of Rome in 1957 made the predecessor of the European Union, the European Community, which was once regarded as a model of regional integration. Some even said that the European Community would become a "United States of Europe". The EU is now facing many challenges. Where is the root of the problem? Has the EU itself made some mistakes in the process of promoting integration?

　　Feng Zhongping:The story of post-war Europe is the story of integration. The initial motivation for the establishment of the European Community was to eliminate wars and achieve long-term peace in Europe. There were two world wars in Europe in the 20th century, and integration meant to keep Germany in the cage of integration. After World War II, Europeans felt that if the "German problem" could not be solved, the war would break out again, so there was a particularly strong will to promote integration at that time.

　　Therefore, integration was a "peace project" or a "political project" at first, with economic benefits, and it was very stable at first. However, after the end of the Cold War, the pace of EU development was too fast, from 12 countries at the end of the Cold War to 28 countries. The level of national development within the alliance has become more differentiated, and the demands for interests are different. The motives of the new member countries, especially the Central and Eastern European countries that joined the EU after 2004, are mainly for economic benefits, but after joining, they did not obviously feel that it brought them much benefit. Coupled with the international financial crisis in 2008, the cohesion within Europe has been declining.

　　There are mistakes in the expansion of European integration. If a member state does not get economic benefits, its support and loyalty to the EU will be greatly reduced.

　　If the European debt crisis widens the contradiction between the North and the South, causing the southern European countries to fall into crisis, and the northern European countries act as "fire captains", then the refugee crisis highlights the contradiction between the East and the West. Western European countries are willing to open their doors to accept refugees, while Eastern European countries refuse to accept refugees.

　　The problems in Europe are actually the problems faced by the whole west, that is, the pressure brought by the new round of economic globalization and the intensification of polarization between the rich and the poor. Some signs actually appeared before 2008, but the financial crisis and the European debt crisis exposed and aggravated the inherent contradictions. The recession at the economic level will inevitably be transmitted to the social level, with the rise of extreme nationalism and populism, and then it will inevitably be transmitted to the political level, forming political turmoil. This is a logical clue to the problems in Europe.

　　As a direct result, people began to oppose European integration. Anti-European integration is actually anti-globalization. Britain’s "Brexit" is an example of turning anti-globalization thoughts into reality. Britain has thousands of reasons to "leave the European Union", but the last straw that overwhelms the camel is immigration. During the referendum on "Brexit" last year, one of the most attractive views for the British people was that after leaving the EU, the population of other EU member countries would no longer flood into the UK. People can see that anti-immigration has become the core word of anti-globalization and anti-integration

　　Will not disintegrate.

　　Global magazine: Will Britain’s "Brexit" trigger a chain reaction that will lead to the disintegration of the EU?

　　Feng Zhongping:There have been two particularly big concerns in Europe: one is whether the euro zone will disintegrate and the unified currency will disintegrate due to the outbreak and spread of the European debt crisis; The second question is whether Britain’s "Brexit" will become the first domino to fall, triggering the disintegration of the whole EU.

　　Britain’s "Brexit" marks the climax of European anti-integration forces. People are very worried about the emergence of a second Britain. Will France (Brexit)? Will the Netherlands (Brexit)? Coupled with Trump’s election as president of the United States in November last year, people are worried that it is likely to further stimulate the wave of anti-globalization in Europe.

　　However, from the current point of view, Britain’s "Brexit" has not had the chain effect that people are worried about, and Macron’s victory in the French general election is an important symbol.

　　The "National Front" led by Le Pen, Macron’s opponent and right-wing candidate, is an extreme anti-EU political party. It can get a very high support rate in France, which actually reflects the strong anti-integration and anti-globalization forces in France, but it was finally defeated by Macron, indicating that this force has not yet gained the upper hand.

　　The French election marks that European integration has not ebbed, and it is a sign that the situation of European integration has improved.

　　Macron is the most pro-EU politician in recent years, or the most supportive of European integration. His coming to power may bring an opportunity to the EU, that is, France and Germany will reunite and continue to play the role of twin engines as the locomotive of European integration. After he was elected president, he immediately visited Germany to discuss with Merkel how to make European integration move forward.

　　Another sign that the EU is improving is that the European economy is improving. This year, the forecasts of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and other authoritative organizations for the economies of the euro zone and the European Union are relatively optimistic. The EU is expected to achieve positive growth for all its member countries for three consecutive years after the financial crisis. In addition, the unemployment rate in Europe is also declining. From 2016 to this year, the unemployment rate has dropped below 10%, reaching the pre-crisis level. The signal of data transmission is that the most dangerous period of EU integration has passed, and now it has entered a period of introspection, adjustment and reform.

　　Must be reformed

　　Global magazine: If the EU has entered a period of reform, what is the main direction of reform? What obstacles do you face?

　　Feng Zhongping:At present, the reform of the EU mainly includes two levels, one is the national level and the other is the European level.

　　At the national level, we should focus on countries such as France and Italy, especially France. If Macron can’t guide the French to carry out real reforms, populism will still come back, and the prospect of the EU is still not optimistic.

　　France needs to carry out structural reforms, revitalize the economy, reduce the operating costs of the economy and improve its competitiveness, that is, to reduce welfare, reduce public expenditure, reform the labor market, untie enterprises and let them regain their competitiveness. But everyone knows the problems in France, and the resistance to reform is too great. Both Chirac and Hollande’s reforms ended in shelving. Macron served as the Minister of Economy in the Hollande government at that time, and put forward a reform plan for Macron, which was not achieved in the end. This shows that the reform has great resistance in France.

　　Fortunately, the party led by Macron won a majority of seats in the National Assembly, which ensured that he not only had the will to reform, but also had the ability to reform.

　　France is said to be the most unwilling country in the world. As soon as the reform was carried out, people took to the streets to demonstrate. One of the lessons that European countries should do is to reform the social welfare system and improve the competitiveness of products in the face of economic globalization. This lesson is being done in other countries, but not in France. Some critics say that no matter who wins, Macron and Le Pen get a "sick man of Europe".

　　The reform at the EU level is mainly to improve the defects at the EU system level. When Macron visited Germany after his election, he proposed to establish a "euro zone fiscal union", which is actually the most urgent thing in Europe now.

　　Part of the reason why the European debt crisis occurred is that although the European Union unified its currency, it did not unify its finances. There is a unified central bank, but there is no unified Ministry of Finance and unified budget.

　　Within the EU, there is a big gap in the level of development between countries. Normally speaking, it is safer to unify the currency only when the economic development level between countries is roughly the same, but the European Union unified the currency without meeting this premise, which is itself a defect in the monetary system. Macron’s proposal to build a unified fiscal union in the euro zone is to avoid another debt crisis.

　　Reform is very difficult. Whether Macron’s reform can be promoted or not, and whether the euro zone’s reform can be promoted, remains to be seen. But these are all reforms that the EU must make, not reforms that can be done or not. For the long-term development of the EU and France, these reforms are unavoidable.

　　Multi-speed Europe

　　Global magazine: The European Union has also noticed the problem of unbalanced internal development, so it puts forward the concept of "multi-speed Europe" with the aim of realizing the integration of different speeds. Do you think "multi-speed Europe" can be realized from the operational level?

　　Feng Zhongping:Speed-by-speed integration is not what the EU wants to see, and there is no way out. If this is not done, integration may stagnate. In order to avoid stagnation, we must adopt a new integration path.

　　The enlargement of the European Union and the divergence of internal interests determine that it cannot move forward at the same speed. The EU itself does not want to be divided into core areas or marginal areas, which is not conducive to internal unity.

　　In fact, the EU is already a "two-speed Europe". For example, some member States have not joined the euro zone or the Schengen Agreement. I think it is a realistic approach to be forced to propose "multi-speed Europe". "Multi-speed Europe" has a very important premise: it must be open, not form a small collective circle, and other countries should be allowed to participate at any time when conditions are ripe.

　　However, Central and Eastern European countries are firmly opposed to "multi-speed Europe". They are worried about being marginalized and think that this is splitting the EU. But I think France, Germany and Italy are determined to do this.

　　Global magazine: After facing a series of challenges, is the influence of the EU being weakened in the world?

　　Feng Zhongping:The biggest influence of the EU in the world is its economic influence, or the right to speak economically. Its economic status depends on three major factors: a unified market, a unified currency, and its emergence as the unified identity of the European Union in international multilateral institutions.

　　The position of the European Union in economic affairs remains particularly important. In the field of political, diplomatic and security, the influence of the EU mainly depends on the cooperation among member governments. This part of the power is not handed over to supranational institutions, but is still in the hands of member States. Undeniably, in recent years, the European Union has encountered many difficulties and crises, which have led to an increase in its internal contradictions and centrifugal separation from Germany, and its international voice has indeed been weakened. The future influence will depend on the success of the above reforms.

　　America and Europe are drifting away?

　　Global magazine: After Trump was elected president of the United States, he announced the implementation of "American priority". What impact will this have on the relationship between the United States and Europe?

　　Feng Zhongping:After Trump came to power, the differences between Europe and the United States did increase. The thinking of "American priority" is contradictory to the position that Europe and the United States jointly safeguard the transatlantic alliance in the past. In the past few decades, the president and government of the United States have always regarded the common interests of Europe and the United States as very important. Trump puts American interests first. In this case, Europe and the United States began to disagree on many issues.

　　For example, on the climate issue, Europeans firmly upheld the Paris Agreement, while Trump announced his withdrawal. On the NATO issue, Trump mainly emphasized that European countries should pay military expenses and dilute collective defense. My view is that as long as Trump is on the stage and the "US priority" policy does not change, the relationship between Europe and the United States may be alienated, and the relationship between the two sides of the Atlantic may gradually drift away.

　　Although I don’t think NATO will be dissolved yet, the relationship between the two sides of the Atlantic will become cold. For the EU, this may have three effects.

　　First of all, the EU will reduce its dependence on the United States, especially on defense, and increase its own common defense construction. This trend has now begun to appear.

　　Second, the EU will pay more attention to peripheral issues such as the Middle East issue than before, and propose solutions, instead of relying mainly on the United States to solve these problems as before.

　　Third, the EU will expand its "circle of friends". It thinks that if the United States is not too reliable, it will seek to ease relations with some emerging economies, including the Russian Federation, and will pay more attention to its relations with China.

　　On May 22nd, in Berlin, Germany, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Sch? uble (left) and French Economy Minister Bruno lemerre attended the press conference. The two sides stated that they would take measures to consolidate the euro.

On August 30th, the Great Wall 2.4T off-road gun was officially launched at Chengdu Auto Show, and the price of the whole vehicle was 178,800-188,800 yuan. The biggest change of the whole vehicle is that it is equipped with a diesel engine with the model GW4D24, and combined with a rich off-road configuration, it can be said that it is very cost-effective. In addition, the crossing version also appeared on the same stage.

2.4T off-road gun

From now until September 30th, you can enjoy a cash discount of 10,000 yuan, a replacement subsidy of 10,000 yuan, a lifetime warranty of the first owner’s engine and transmission, a three-year zero interest rate (up to 100,000 yuan), a discount of 3,000 yuan/set for Great Wall owners, and a number of preferential services such as basic services, intelligent control services, and free OTA online upgrade.

The diesel 2.4T engine equipped with the 2.4T off-road gun can provide the maximum power of 135kW and the peak torque of 480N·m, which is the first torque of single turbine diesel pickup truck in China. In addition, the vehicle engine can support excellent low-torque performance, and it only needs 1500 revolutions to reach the peak torque range, which is not a problem in the face of extreme off-road scenes.

The vehicle engine is also equipped with 850W high-performance cooling fan, which matches the industry’s first off-road thermal management mode to meet the demand for vehicles under high temperature weather and continuous heavy load off-road conditions; Using AGM large-capacity battery, the cold start current reaches 850A, and the capacity reaches 92Ah, leading at the same level; It has higher capacitance stability and low-temperature reliability, and it can be used in extremely cold environment with excellent low-pressure glow plug. The DPF carrier of the Great Wall Gun was upgraded to 4.89L, and the carbon accumulation of the 2.4T off-road gun was larger, and the regeneration mileage was increased by 53%.

The whole vehicle is matched with the Great Wall self-developed longitudinal 9AT gearbox, which can bear the maximum torque of 750N·m and is suitable for various engine combinations such as gasoline and diesel. At the same time, this gearbox is also the first 9AT gearbox in China, which has the core advantages of smooth shifting and smooth power connection.

As an off-road pickup truck, the whole vehicle is equipped with part-time 4wd system, which can not only meet the needs of heavy off-road, but also has the characteristics of firmness, reliability and durability. At the same time, the off-road gun is the first pickup truck in China to provide six all-terrain driving modes, such as snow, mud, sand, 2H, 4H and 4L. Switching to the four-wheel drive low-speed (4L) mode can amplify the torque by 2.48 times, which can release more power in the process of getting rid of severe off-road conditions such as cross shafts and bullet holes.

2.4T off-road gun adopts high chassis design, with minimum ground clearance of 228mm, approach angle of 30, departure angle of 26, and wading depth of 700 mm. With the off-road expert mode pioneered by the same level, in the process of extreme off-road, the power output and electronic control settings are arranged and combined by the driver, and the vehicle control right is returned to the driver 100%, which is suitable for the old off-road gun to play at will.

In addition to the above-mentioned off-road configuration, thanks to the excellent four-wheel drive system of the whole vehicle, it also provides crawling mode, tank turning, transparent chassis, upgraded high-performance cooling system, etc. At the same time, it is also equipped with hard-core equipment such as K-MAN nitrogen shock absorption, front and rear axle electronically controlled differential lock, Bailuchi KO2 all-terrain tire, winch, wading throat, off-road side pedal, and front and rear iron competitive bars. The above configurations are uniformly equipped by the original factory, so there is no need to worry about the annual inspection of the license, which is worry-free and labor-saving.

In addition, the 2.4T off-road gun is also equipped with the first domestic original factory standard 3mm thick chassis metal armor, covering 100% important parts such as engine, transmission, transfer case and fuel tank, which can effectively protect the chassis. The vehicle also uses 540 panoramic images and more than 10 intelligent driving assistance functions. With the new generation ESP body stability system +6 airbags+high-strength cage body+collision fuel cut/unlock function, the safety performance can be described as almost full.

In terms of intelligence, the whole vehicle provides a comprehensive display function of off-road information, which can display information such as altitude, air pressure, slope and compass, and enhance the safety and information collection during driving.

Not long ago, Tesla crashed into the tank 300. Although it was finally characterized as "misoperation", it still caused many people to vomit about Tesla’s single pedal mode. But in fact, Tesla’s models still have brake pedals, and the "single pedal mode" that many people on the Internet spit out is actually a spit on Tesla’s "kinetic energy recovery technology", or more specifically, a spit on Tesla’s cancellation of the "kinetic energy recovery mode strength adjustment function".

What is the single pedal mode?

From the clutch, brake and throttle of manual transmission to the brake and throttle of automatic transmission, and then to the new energy vehicle, the car can be controlled only by the switch. In the propaganda of some new energy vehicle manufacturers, we can see such things: the single pedal mode not only changes the driving mode of the owners, but also changes the sense of anxiety and leg fatigue when driving in urban congestion.

The single pedal mode was originally a technology used in racing cars. As the name implies, the acceleration and braking operations of vehicles were completed by one accelerator pedal. Of course, the single pedal mode of a normal private car actually has two pedals, one accelerator and one brake. Step on the accelerator to accelerate, release the accelerator to slow down, and use a pedal to realize the functions of acceleration and deceleration. In the new energy vehicle, the single pedal mode represents the kinetic energy recovery technology, which recovers energy by loosening the throttle and then carries out a reverse charging.

Advantages and disadvantages of kinetic energy recovery

Kinetic energy recovery technology can effectively extend the battery life and increase the cruising range of new energy vehicles, at the same time, it can also reduce the fatigue of the owner’s leg and relax the other foot. But from another point of view, the change of driving habits brought about by the simplification of driving mode also has great security risks.

Different from the three-pedal driving mode of manual transmission to the two-pedal driving mode of automatic transmission, although the clutch pedal operation is missing, the acceleration and braking operations are still independently operated, while the single-pedal mode, although the brake pedal is still effective, gives priority to encouraging the owner to rely on the accelerator pedal to complete the acceleration and braking operation. In the single pedal mode, only sudden braking requires stepping on the accelerator, while the rest of the deceleration is completed by loosening the accelerator, and the strength depends on "habit". In case of an emergency, it is easy for some car owners to make mistakes. Should we use a loose pedal or a brake to slow down?

Fortunately, the single pedal mode of most private cars can decide whether to use the kinetic energy recovery function by adjusting the deceleration of the throttle. At one time, many Tesla owners adjusted the deceleration of the single pedal mode to the minimum to get the experience equivalent to the double pedal. Similarly, the kinetic energy recovery function in this mode is basically equal to nothing.

What is Tesla’s problem?

Tesla’s problem is that it cancels the "adjustment of kinetic energy recovery", which is equivalent to directly depriving users of their right to choose, so that all Tesla owners can only use "high kinetic energy recovery", that is, mandatory single pedal mode. Although the brakes are still there, not all Tesla owners like the driving experience of single pedal mode.

summary

Tesla’s cancellation of the dynamic adjustment function of "kinetic energy recovery" is obviously not good for the owner. It not only cancels the option of new owners, but also makes new owners get used to the single pedal mode, which increases the learning cost and the risk of misoperation, and also reduces the driving experience. The so-called relieving leg fatigue in single pedal mode has no practical significance, because as long as there is a brake pedal, your left foot can’t leave the brake pedal. Since the posture will not change, how can you relieve leg fatigue?

But for Tesla, there are many benefits to canceling this function. That is, it cultivates users’ habits and increases the learning cost for users to choose other brands; It can also reduce the CRBS function. After the compulsory kinetic energy recovery, the battery life of Tesla models will also be enhanced, which can be said to be harmless. Many people think that this is a reason for Tesla to cancel the dashboard, which is entirely based on cost saving, not on consumer experience, just like Apple’s mobile phone cancels the charger for environmental protection.
