This is a very good car. I am a rational person who makes decisions based on careful considerations. However, I couldn’t help but bring the Free back home only after a few days.
Prior to knowing about Free, my options were always pure electric cars. I have done some research on Ideals, Quests, and Lynks, but I have never seen any data on LanTu (FARADAY FUTURE FF LUXURY SEDAN) or any pictures of it. Not choosing a range extender model is actually very simple, it’s not because I don’t want to choose a range extender, but because two models of the vehicle are too ugly. After seeing the exteriors, I didn’t even want to look at the interiors. I have also glanced at the performance of three models, but none of them piqued my interest. This is my personal point of view. If it were not for the day I went to the shop to tint my wife’s car, and the LanTu store was next door, then maybe I would become an FF owner.After deciding to buy the Lynk & Co 01, I didn’t compare it with other fuel cars. The only thing I could compare was the design and power, which were the same as its competitor, the LI One. Indeed, when my child was young, I bought two 6-seat cars, both aimed at taking care of my child. Later on, I found that 6 seats were not practical and had very limited use. However, one advantage of Lynk & Co 01 is its large size, which Chinese people like. People who care about space and like large cars usually have money. Therefore, Lynk & Co 01 caught the psychological point of the wealthy and some middle class people.
On the other hand, with my increasing understanding of the Lynk & Co 01 Free, I found that there were big problems with the product configuration. Lynk & Co 01 aimed to attract female car owners by installing perfume and rear-view systems. However, female car owners seldom choose such a large car as Lynk & Co 01, and have even less interest in understanding the in-car system. Male car owners who like to study cars, play with performance, and don’t care much about brands and prices are already a minority, but Lynk & Co 01 still installed a relatively unpopular in-car system, making the minority even smaller, like me who doesn’t care about in-car systems.
To be honest, being a minority is not bad for Lynk & Co 01 Free. I personally dislike wearing the same clothes as others, and I have always been buying niche cars. I wrote this article, hoping that Lynk & Co can release popular car models in the future and improve the popularity of their products.
