New technologies, new car models – as an old user who just picked up my new car, I feel nothing special. However, the secrecy surrounding the 8155 new system really piqued my interest.
The marketing campaign leading up to the launch was brilliant. The prices of 13,999, 5,999, and 3,999 were carefully crafted and kept under wraps – this generated a lot of buzz among old car owners and made us all very curious. And as always, Tang Laoshi’s predictions were spot-on.
After the release of the new system at the launch event tonight, An Conghui announced that the upgrade would be free – this made all the old car owners ecstatic, even me, someone who constantly rants about the high cost of battery upgrades. Since April, I’ve been speculating about how much the upgrade would cost and secretly accumulated 20,000 points. Looking back, I realize how foolish I was – I clearly underestimated the final cost of 3,999.
This free upgrade caught many of our competitors off guard. NIO owners are feeling upset, while Voyah owners are complaining. It’s only right to give credit where it’s due – this is worth boasting about.
Switching over from Baidu Maps to Amap, it seems that Zeekr Technology has really outdone itself. Unfortunately, I don’t know the specific details behind it. After filling in this last gap, I feel more confident about Zeekr Technology. I hope that more third-party applications can be introduced in the future to further optimize the interface icons and create an open platform. It is said that there will be two more major OTA updates – one for blind spot monitoring and the other is still a mystery. After all, I’m not a Koc, nor am I an internal tester, nor am I the media, I’m just a car owner who loves to make fun and browse forums.

There’s one point that many people may have overlooked, which is the delivery timeline. From locking in orders for 5-6 months to delivering them from July 11 to July 15, it will be possible to deliver them before October 15. Zeekr has probably integrated the entire industry chain and consolidated its parts suppliers, or they wouldn’t have been able to shorten the delivery time so easily. Furthermore, Zeekr had an order volume of around 10,000 in April, which is a rare piece of good news. After all, even the best cars cannot afford a delivery period of up to six months.
Now that deliveries have been made and there will be more cars on the road, the next step should be the improvement of assisted driving. After all, in the information age, data is the most important thing. From the spy photos, I originally expected the 001 to have a lidar, but unfortunately, it does not. But with the current progress, the future looks bright.
I haven’t written much, so I can only share my feelings for the moment. Sometimes, while scolding, I feel more and more in love with Zeekr. Honestly, I hope Zeekr can become better in the future and not conceal themselves so deeply, because my heart can’t take it. Finally, I must say that Zeekr’s product release conference crashed the New Mobility Service, and the most important thing I have to say three times: Mr. Tang, Mr. Ma, and Mr. Ru are all awesome! Tonight belongs to the bill-payer An Gongzi, the prophecy-dreamer Tang Maru, and all the car friends who have criticized together.
