理想i8发布会

Release Event - The event lasted approximately 110 minutes, with Li Xiang discussing traditional automotive aspects, Lang Xiangpeng covering driver models, and Fan Haoyu presenting the Ideal Classmate Agent [1] - Li Xiang effectively explained the traditional advantages of a vehicle, including the reasons for battery weight and the benefits of a yacht-like design, showing clear progress compared to MEGA and L6. However, the i8's high-speed endurance achievement rate was only 58%, which is underwhelming. A lower average speed of around 100 km/h could yield different results [2] - Lang Xiangpeng and Fan Haoyu's presentations were relatively bland, lacking new insights compared to previous interviews and promotional materials. The Ideal Classmate Agent's practical applications were limited to ordering takeout and parking fees, which may not resonate with family users [3] - The delay in the delivery of the Ideal i8 was not addressed [4] Market Reaction - The audience's reaction during the event was generally subdued, with excitement only at the announcement of the price. In contrast, other events, like Huami's, generated more enthusiasm with each feature release [5] - Some neutral reviewers who were invited to test the i8 seemed to favor competing products, focusing on price and storage space [6] - Following the announcement of specifications and pricing, there was significant criticism. Some believed the price was too high and should be set below 300,000 yuan, while others felt the configuration was unreasonable [7] - The evaluation of the configuration indicated that the product matrix of the L series may have constrained the i8's offerings. Adjustments to this matrix could be complex [8] - The pricing criticism was deemed unfounded. Comparisons were made with the Aion M8 priced at 378,000 yuan, questioning why the i8's pricing was scrutinized. The industry norm shows that pure electric vehicles are generally 20,000 yuan more expensive than range-extended models. The expectation for the i8's pure electric version to be cheaper than the range-extended model was seen as illogical [8] - The pricing strategy for the i8 was predicted to be accurate, as the pure electric model lacks advantages over the range-extended version. Li Xiang aimed to compensate for this disadvantage with larger space at the same price, but users may not see the value in spending more for similar driving quality while facing greater charging anxiety [9]
