How to Convince Your Partner to Buy an Ideal ONE?

This is a hot topic on the Ideal Car app recently.

Based on the basic principle of “men decide big things, women decide small things”, buying a car, as a small matter, certainly needs the consent of the female head of the household to pass.

This has been confirmed in the articles posted by car owners on the Ideal Car app. Just click on any article and you will see how to persuade “her”, but not much about persuading “him”.

To summarize the tricks to convince, some rely on friendly negotiation, some rely on facts and logic, while others are by deception, and some even act first and report later.

So why do men want to buy Ideal ONE? What are the reasons behind it?

Now, I’m here to reveal it for you: when a man tries to persuade you to buy Ideal ONE, what is he really thinking?

Trick No.1: Want to Hide Private Money

It is well known that the NEDC pure electric range of the 2021 Ideal ONE is 188 km (WLTC pure electric range is 155 km), which can be used only with electricity in most cases and only use fuel for long distance.

If you have a charging station at home and drive in pure electric mode, the electricity cost is basically equal to zero.

Taking myself as an example, from January 1st to July 31st of this year, my Ideal ONE has traveled a total of 9,492 km, of which 9,093.9 km are pure electric.

In Hangzhou, the peak electricity price for home use is 0.588 yuan/kWh, and the off-peak electricity price is 0.308 yuan/kWh.

From January to July this year, my electricity bill was a total of 847.54 yuan, and the energy consumption cost per kilometer of pure electricity was only 0.093 yuan.If the IDEAL ONE is used as a fuel vehicle without charging, the vehicle’s fuel consumption per hundred kilometers will be about 8 L/100 km, which is still very advantageous compared to fuel vehicles of the same level.

You must have realized that after buying the IDEAL ONE, the vehicle’s operating costs will be much lower than those of fuel vehicles of the same level.

At the same time, the maintenance of IDEAL ONE is not expensive. The price of a small maintenance is 599 yuan, which is less than the cost of many compact cars doing maintenance at 4S stores.

In addition, because IDEAL’s after-sales outlets are all self-operated, going for maintenance will not like 4S stores to sell you various useless projects, which can save a lot of trouble in after-sales.

By the way, the IDEAL ONE is currently exempt from vehicle and vessel tax, which can save hundreds of yuan when renewing car insurance every year.

Therefore, the money saved from charging, refueling, maintenance, and vehicle and vessel tax will naturally become a new source of private money for men.

Small Calculation No.2: Want to Drive More Peacefully

Please note that “peaceful” here does not mean that there is no engine noise when driving with pure electric priority mode, as men would typically tell you.

What do men fear most when driving?

Of course, it is their wives who sit in the front passenger seat and keep commenting on their driving skills along the way.

Therefore, IDEAL ONE’s designer thoughtfully equipped the front passenger seat with a screen for housewives to watch dramas and movies.

If you are in a good mood, you can also open the karaoke app, connect the microphone, and sing along the way in the car.

Xiaoxian, who is the best at singing in the IDEAL ONE, sings karaoke in the car.

In the future, it will be like “I’ll drive my own car, you watch your dramas and sing your songs, and we won’t disturb each other anymore.”

No one will point out how to drive anymore, and men will feel so happy.

Small Calculation No.3: Want to Be More LazyLazy is human nature, this is really true. Men also buy the Ideal ONE for this purpose.

In the past, after sending the children to the interest class, men could only foolishly wait in the waiting area and play with their phones until the end of class to pick up the children.

However, with Ideal ONE, it is different. After the child enters the interest class, he can relax in the car, enjoy the air conditioning and watch a movie, and wait until it is time for class to end before picking up the child and going home to have dinner.

Also, when summer comes, the car parked outdoors is hot like a sauna inside, and when winter comes, the car is freezing like an icehouse after being blown by cold wind all night.

If you drive a regular gasoline car, then the best way to solve this problem is to ask your husband to turn on the air conditioner or heat the car first. But after buying the Ideal ONE, men are liberated. They only need to take out their phones and turn on the air conditioning with the remote control function of the Ideal APP when changing clothes before going out.

In addition, the seat heating, seat ventilation, and steering wheel heating can also be turned on in advance through the phone. When they put on their shoes and go downstairs, the inside of the car is almost at the set temperature, they no longer need to go to the car in advance to freeze or feel hot, and their lazy skills get +1.

Trick No.4: Want to Nap Comfortably

When a man persuades you to buy Ideal ONE, he will most likely tell you that the car has a “Queen’s Seat” function.

Lowering the backrest of the first-row passenger seat and connecting it with the second-row seat, the passenger can sit comfortably in a half-lying posture.

At this time, turning on the seat massage function is like sitting on a moving massage chair.

However, what he may not tell you is that the main driving seat of Ideal ONE also has a more useful “nap mode”.“`

Rest mode in IDEAL ONE

Click the rest mode button on the air conditioning screen, and set the duration of rest. After confirmation, the seat will recline backwards, allowing you to lie down comfortably and rest.

After the rest time is over, the seat can also be restored to the driving position with just one click, which is very convenient.

As the saying goes, “If you don’t sleep at noon, you’ll be tired in the afternoon”.

With the rest mode, no matter how late men stay up to watch the ball game the previous night, they can make up for it at noon and not worry about being unenergetic in the afternoon.

Little Trick No.5: Want You to be the Driver

With IDEAL ONE being such a big car, according to common sense, women drivers cannot drive such a big car. Driving should be done by their husbands, and they should just be noble passengers.

If you really think so, you are too naive!

Although the size of IDEAL ONE’s body is large, its 360° surround view effect is excellent. The surroundings of the vehicle can be clearly seen, and even women drivers can easily drive it.

If it encounters a particularly narrow road, as long as the wheel view is turned on, the screen of the car’s display will show the picture of the front and rear wheels on both sides, and it can easily pass through concrete road bumps.

In addition, IDEAL ONE is equipped with L2 level assisted driving, which can greatly reduce driving fatigue when driving on highways.

In the second half of this year, the 2021 IDEAL ONE will also have an OTA navigation assisted driving function, making long-distance driving even easier and more efficient.

With all this, do women drivers have any reason not to drive IDEAL ONE?

Little Trick No.6: Want to Fulfill Your Dream of Traveling Far

Many people have a dream of going to Tibet deep in their hearts, but for most people, this dream only stays in their minds and is not really realized.Although the positioning of the Ideal ONE is a family SUV for the city, I dare to say that the Ideal ONE owners are one of the groups of family car owners who love to self-drive to Tibet the most, except for those who love tough SUVs.

This summer, several groups of car enthusiasts have already formed teams to drive into Tibet just from the Ideal car owner’s club near the West Lake.

Some Ideal ONEs drive into Tibet without modification, while some change to AT tires to challenge the off-roads.

Of course, there are also those like Han Lu who successfully crossed the northern Tibet of Ali after professional modification on the Ideal ONE.

Due to the high altitude and relatively thin air in Tibet, even cars with high-displacement engines face the problem of power loss. But the Ideal ONE, driven entirely by an electric motor, has no impact on power output, and can take on Land Cruisers and Land Rovers without pressure.

Do you think men buy Ideal ONEs just to serve their families and be better fathers? No, he also wants to use this car to make a dream of going far away come true.

We have talked so much, but fundamentally, the Ideal ONE is a car, and when we talk about the Ideal ONE, we cannot ignore its attribute as a car.

So, what is a car for men? There is a widely spread saying: “Men are forever children who will never grow up, and the only grown-up part of them is their toys.” In a certain sense, a car, especially an intelligent car like the Ideal ONE, can also be regarded as a digital big toy.

The all-motor-driven power system provides power upon pressing the pedal with no hesitation, and its smooth acceleration is far better than various transmissions in driving experience.

Compared with fuel-based cars, driving an Ideal ONE is like adding some black technology to the driving experience.

In addition, the software features of the Ideal ONE’s in-car system and driving assistance can be constantly updated and improved through OTA upgrades, making people feel like they are driving a new car again every time they upgrade. For example, the “truck warning” function related to driving safety and the “Bilibili” application for anime fans are both implemented through OTA upgrades.Therefore, many people who buy the ideal ONE treat it like a new toy and quickly become bored. After driving the ideal ONE for only a month, they suddenly remember that they have a dusty fuel car sitting at home.

Of course, it’s not just men who love the ideal ONE, children are also completely defenseless against its allure.

In the WeChat group of a car club, it’s common to see car owners bringing their children to play in the car, resulting in situations where the children cry and refuse to leave. Who is more childlike, men or children?
