      其实中国本来可以做的更好,我不得不讲述一个荒缪的事实,以中国第一次制造卫星过程中遇到的问题举例,通常像这样的航天技术应该是严谨的,但是,共产党要求在卫星上安装各种毛泽东以及共产党的徽章并且这些都是金子,这倒是卫星始终无法进行发射…红色中国一直在做一些政治意识形态方面的事情,对于我们中国人来说这像一个小丑,共产党认为控制中国人思维来维持他们的统治…我描述的这些问题与中国产品质量有什么关系呢?过度剥削中国人的利益,导致社会在各种制造环节中缩减成本,导致产品质量存在问题

      很多中国工人连最基本的生活保障都没有,这就是你们为什么收到的中国产品有很多质量不合格的原因,资金都被共产党拿走挥霍浪费了,实现所谓共产主义中国的野心,他们不敢对任何国家发动战争,他们担心发动战争会削弱对中国的统治能力,所以中国人只是表面看着靓丽,实际上已经被共产党剥夺了所有财富

      Last time saying this, It's not how much a vehicle costs, it's your cost of ownership. U buy a Ute. It's cost $70k you sell it in 5 years, it sells for $45k.

    I appreciate that its a big old ute, and 480nm isnt a heap given its size/weight, but its funny hearing paul say “480nm isnt all that much”. 480nm in a ute about 10 years ago was unbelievable. The hilux from 2005-2015 only had 340 odd nm’s. The tunes they had in utes in the mid 2000’s were super mild compared to where theyre at now.

    • @DW-10
      @DW-10 6 місяців тому +3

      I think the point is not 480 vs 500. More like 480Nm in a XXkg vehicle with material turbo lag vs 500Nm in a Xkg vehicle with good turbo response. Given power is a factor of rpm and torque and there is a greater disparity in kw than there is in Nm output, either it has a much lower rpm ceiling or the torque curve falls off relatively quickly at higher rpm. So a laggy, peaky torque delivery.......never going to feel "fast".

    The good thing about GWM is that they have been very receptive to feedback about their vehicles. I’m sure those refinement issues you identified will be addressed quickly via a software upgrade. I don’t understand why people are so concerned with resale. If you are using it as a work vehicle it will be written off on tax and owe you nothing. And in terms of what it will be like in 10 years, every non premium brand, including Toyota, say the life of a vehicle is only 7 years.

I am a bit disappointed with the Alpha. I was hoping for a btter ride, but actually when test driving it this one feels harder than the regular ute. WTF happended to the coil spring set up in the back? Also, the 8 speed ZF seemed to be better than the 9 speed auto. And no rear window control button by the driver side? If I want a ute with a lucury interiro like the Alpha offers, I also expect the luxury ride, otherwise, what is the point?

      100k ridiculous and they love them. The world at large has absolutely no idea about repetition engineering and manufacturing with robots & machining centres and how quick this is achieved. A possibly pathetic example is the manufacturing time for a 50 mm tow ball, in the 1970s 60 seconds., Japanese engineers x3 would hop out of the taxi from the airport with their temp gauges and micrometers an verniers to learn. The owner had in one shed 50 x $250k machines 50/4 = $ 12.5 mill in one shed of high-speed repetition manufacturing in progress . Imagine how fast and cheap manufacturing is today 2024 so how can it be honestly priced at $100k ?

      It has a Borg Warner torque on demand 2 speed transfer case. EVERY drive mode except eco has 5-50 percent of torque going to the front depending on conditions.
      When you start the car it is in normal mode which is AWD.
      Cross country expert mode locks the clutch pack in the transfer case (4h), 4l has a gear reduction and locks the clutch pack in the transfer case.

    A couple of years ago, Australia had a problem with China, so they stopped buying a lot of stuff from Australia. It affected the Australian economy. So if Australia were at odds with China again in the future, might they then refuse to supply Australia the parts needed, for maintenance and repairs of these vehicles they are flooding the market with?.

The quality of the materials used in the car...because all car companies say we are the best but use and the passage of years are the true standard for use

    "Visibility out the back is good" - no it isn't. I took one of these for a drive last week and between the pointless sliding back window and the headrest for the rear middle seat, the view is obstructed.
    As far as performance goes, yeah, I also found the 2.4 diesel very lacking. However, I took the hybrid for a drive and it is a completely different beast - it has way more grunt and is the better vehicle.
