After waiting for more than a month, my R7 finally arrived after the appointment day. It’s such an honor to be one of the first private owners in Shanghai to receive this car.
The handover ceremony was held at the Moon Garden in Minhang District, and the mood was as bright as the weather todayπππ
The ceremony was very formal and grand. There were a total of ten cars in the first batch, including white, amber grey, black, dragon tongue blue, and a particularly eye-catching shining pink one. Observing on the spot, it seems that people who choose the main colors are still the majority. The delivery teacher Miss Meng was very enthusiastic, her preparation was evident from the moment we met. It’s the little things that warm one’s heart.
The handover ceremony can be divided into three parts:
- Opening speech, mainly about the Flymedia responsible person and sharing with the owner.
- Manual experience: quick sketch and manual weaving bag (my wife likes this).
- Site visit to the garden.
Also, I’d like to share my personal test of Flymedia R7 endurance.
When the car was new, I was excited and invited a few friends to test drive it. Meanwhile, Iβve calculated the endurance as well.
The driving conditions were mainly on the overhead roads and on the ground within Shanghai. The overhead roads accounted for about 80%, and the speed was basically maintained at 80 km/h. The air conditioning was set at 26 degrees Celsius throughout the journey. The initial power was 97%, range 13km, power consumption 26%, and the total mileage was 138km. The estimated endurance is about 530km.
The regenerative brake energy recovery level is about 25% without using the brake pedal. The model is a 90kWh rear-wheel drive with an official standard CLTC of 642km and an estimated 83% of the initial range. I was pleasantly surprised by its performance, as I drove it just like a gasoline car. I hope that those who are used to driving with a single pedal can share their range performance with us in the future.
