Recently, I came across many FEYMAN experience stores on Douyin, which directly placed a Model Y for consumers to compare up close. I was surprised to find that your FEYMAN R7 is somewhat similar to the Model Y. This is really challenging Tesla to the end. With SAIC as the backer, it’s truly amazing! After watching the video, I was convinced. Combining my previous experience of seeing the R7 in person at the store, here are my thoughts:
- Price:
Although both are top-of-the-line, Model Y Performance is more than 30,000 yuan more expensive than the R7 flagship edition. However, the R7 has better configurations, like AR-HUD, front massage seats, exterior discharge, and triple displays. Moreover, if you choose to rent the battery, the price of R7 can be reduced by up to 100,000 yuan, making it more friendly to budget-constrained customers. Even if you compare the standard configuration of YP to R7’s top configuration, you can still get the R7.
- Size:
The R7’s three dimensions are one whole circle larger than those of the Tesla Model Y, making it look more spacious and comfortable. Based on my actual experience, the R7’s rear seat experience is also better than that of Model Y, such as the more streamlined sloping rear, providing more headroom in the rear, especially in terms of the length of the cushion. Tesla feels like sitting on a small stool, while the R7’s cushion can better support the thighs, making it more comfortable for long rides.
- Intelligent configuration:
If Model Y is equipped with standard configurations, it only has basic driving assistance. If you want more advanced features, you need to pay an additional 30,000 yuan for EAP or 60,000 yuan for FSD. The R7 is more user-friendly. Currently, the entire series is equipped with a 30,000 yuan advanced navigation assistance driving system (including parking memory and intelligent summoning). On highways, it can also automatically enter and exit the gates and overtake in lanes. Compared in this way, Tesla’s competitiveness is really just average.
Next is Tesla’s “rough” interior design, whether it looks good or not is another matter, but compared to R7, it is completely out of defense. R7’s triple screen looks much more refined. The screen on the co-pilot side can also set navigation for the center console and be linked to the AR-HUD for navigation display.
In addition to the queen as co-pilot, imagine after a day of exhaustion, rising electric legs and turning on seat heating and massage while watching a drama, it is indeed a very attractive feeling haha!
However, in my opinion, if you are a die-hard fan of Tesla, in all likelihood, you will not go to see other car brands and directly blind purchase Tesla. But if it’s about general choice and you see Feinivan R7 while considering Tesla MY, especially in a head-to-head comparison, there is no reason not to choose R7…which really confirms the saying: being in the same frame is not scary, whoever is more expensive will be embarrassed, oh, and who is less competent will also be embarrassed.
