Recently, a new energy vehicle maintenance case has caused widespread discussion.Due to a slight scratch on the rearview mirror, the car owner spent more than 5,700 yuan on repairs. The high repair costs have refreshed the public's understanding of the repair prices of regular parts for new energy vehicles. Many car owners lamented that new energy vehicles can be afforded but cannot be repaired.
According to the car owner, Ms. Zheng, when she was reversing in a residential area, her side rearview mirror accidentally hit a garage column due to vision problems.
At first, she thought it was just a simple damage to the housing and lens, and expected that the repair would be completed with a few hundred yuan. However, after sending it to the 4S store for testing, the results far exceeded expectations.The rearview mirror of this new energy vehicle is not a traditional mechanical accessory. It is highly integrated with many intelligent functions such as electric adjustment, automatic folding, heating and defogging, and blind spot monitoring.
Although the vehicle's appearance was slightly damaged, the impact had caused damage to the internal precision electronic components. Due to the integrated design, this accessory cannot individually replace single components such as lenses and casings, and can only replace the assembly as a whole.
At the same time, because the accessories need to be deployed in other places, the total cost of the entire set of repairs exceeds 5,700 yuan, and the repair cycle lasts nearly a week.
