Sanyan Technology Summary

More than half of Tesla owners in the U.S. have switched to gasoline-powered vehicles

According to foreign media reports, a survey data showed that more than half of Tesla owners in the United States have switched to fuel vehicles.


According to the latest research by Edmunds, by 2024, more than half of Tesla owners in the United States will abandon electric vehicles and switch to fuel vehicles, and only 32% of owners will continue to choose pure electric models.
Specifically, 51% of Tesla owners switched to traditional fuel vehicles, 10% chose hybrid models, and 6% chose plug-in hybrid models. The reason is that oil prices in the United States are relatively cheap and charging facilities are not perfect.


What’s even more interesting is that more and more buyers are replacing Tesla with electric vehicles from other traditional automakers. (Fast Technology)

Auto blogger claims Nezha Auto employees exposed themselves to workplace bullying

A few days ago, an automobile blogger posted on Weibo that Miao, an employee in the new media operations position of Nezha, sent a message for help to his team a few days ago, saying that he encountered workplace bullying while working at Nezha Automobile: such as "performance being maliciously withheld, being marginalized by leaders and colleagues, having his clock-in location tampered with by the company, and being forced to take annual leave", etc., and attached relevant audio and video evidence.


The employee believes that he entered the company through the normal recruitment process (May 22), worked diligently and did not make any mistakes during the two years he worked for the company, and should not be treated like this. He said that he has been kicked out of the company's VX and expelled from the company, which is equivalent to being forced to resign.


The auto blogger said that he contacted Miao's former supervisor, Manager Gao, the head of the user center at Nezha Kunshan Huangpujiang North Road, to verify the matter. Manager Gao said that the recording was from a year ago, and that Miao was no longer under his management after the end of last year and was transferred to another place, but was still engaged in new media-related work. Miao's claim of "performance deduction and marginalization" did not exist.

Afterwards, the car blogger contacted the leader who was in charge of Miao before he left, Manager Tong of the Dongwu South Road store in Wuzhong District, Suzhou. Manager Tong said that it was "inconvenient to respond to this matter" and that he needed to contact the manufacturer to understand the situation.

Xia Yiping, CEO of Jiyue: End-to-end is just a marketing gimmick. No company in the market is truly end-to-end.

At the Jiyue AI Aesthetics Appreciation Conference, Jiyue CEO Xia Yiping talked about end-to-end. He believes that there is no 100% end-to-end yet, and it is all marketing gimmicks that need to be faked. There is no real end-to-end in the market now.

Xia Yiping said that true end-to-end, completely visual, and direct execution after seeing is very difficult, and the verification model behind it requires huge investment. The final cost of building a supercomputing center is not in developing this mod, but in the investment in computing power behind it, because the more end-to-end it is, the larger the final model is, the more parameters it has, and the more data it consumes.
