ES7 went on the market, ET7 fell from the building, and Weilai automobile experienced ups and downs for 7 days.

On June 15th, Weilai ES7 went public.

As the first SUV of Weilai NT2 platform, Weilai ES7 not only adopts a brand-new appearance and interior design, but also benefits from the "watchtower" sensor composed of lidar and camera on the roof, which can provide support for the whole vehicle to achieve high-order assisted driving. It was Weilai ES7 that used a lot of advanced design concepts and technologies, so it attracted a lot of attention when it went on the market, and everyone praised it unanimously.

However, Weilai ES7 was only in the limelight for a while, and was quickly robbed by the ideal L9.

Then, something even more exciting happened. On the afternoon of June 22nd, a test vehicle of Weilai ET7 fell from the third floor of the parking building of Shanghai Innovation Port, killing two digital cockpit testers. Interestingly, this happened on the afternoon of June 22, and it didn’t continue to ferment on the Internet until the afternoon of June 23.

As a result, Weilai Automobile issued an official notice in various channels, which probably meant to explain the specific situation of the "falling incident" and the handling methods of subsequent things. Of course, the last sentence, "According to the analysis of the scene, it can be preliminarily confirmed that this was an accident, which has nothing to do with the vehicle itself", which really chilled many people.

After years of accumulated reputation, Weilai Automobile was cast a shadow after this battle. After all, it was the consumers who took it seriously, but Weilai Automobile was too fickle.

In just seven days, the ups and downs of Weilai Automobile from the release of Weilai ES7 to the fall of Weilai ET7 were simply in an instant.

In fact, if you carefully sort out the incident of "Weilai ET7 falling from the building", you will find the strangeness.

The official declared that the falling accident was an accident and had nothing to do with the vehicle, but the fact is that most people are concerned about whether there is something wrong with the automatic assisted driving system or the brake system of the accident vehicle. However, according to Weilai Automobile’s reply, the two workers who were killed were digital cockpit testers, which proves from the side that they are probably testing the vehicle system and other functional configurations. As for whether the automatic parking and intelligent assisted driving system are being tested, Weilai Automobile needs to publish subsequent videos and test data to know.

In addition, Weilai Automobile has repeatedly stressed that this "falling incident" has nothing to do with the car, but is an accident. What is the intention? Here I have to mention the brand-new car-making platform of Weilai NT2.

Whether it is Weilai ES7, Weilai ET7 or Weilai ET5, they are all products under Weilai NT2 platform, and these three models are important players of Weilai Automobile in the next few years, shouldering the heavy responsibility of Weilai to further explore the market and increase sales. Moreover, from a technical point of view, the selling point of the car under the platform of Weilai NT2 is the scientific and technological configuration such as intelligent driving and digital cockpit. In addition, they are all new cars and are in the early stage of delivery, so Weilai Automobile will not tolerate any mistakes.

On the other hand, although Weilai Automobile is eager to help its own vehicles clean up the relationship, the "falling incident" has already caused a bad influence. Therefore, whether it is a safety accident or an accident caused by vehicle problems, Weilai Automobile needs to prove itself through video materials and data information.
