Responding to Ideal i8 Crash Event: "Set Up, Clever People Can Spot Fake at a Glance"

July 29th, Ideal Automobile released its first pure electric SUV - Ideal i8, and simultaneously published a high-intensity crash test video. The video shows the Longteng truck losing all four wheels in an instant, the front of the truck unlocking and tilting forward, pressing onto the Ideal i8's front bumper position. It is said that Ideal i8 has a curb weight of around 2.6 tons, while the Longteng truck's body plate marks "truck weight 8T", which means the curb weight reaches 8 tons, making it possible for the 2.6-ton vehicle to crash into an 8-ton one, leaving many netizens feeling astonished.

Furthermore, some netizens left comments on the Longteng truck's official account saying "Is it really possible for one truck to crash into Ideal?" The Longteng truck responded by saying "Set up, clever people can spot fake at a glance", "I don't know what the director behind the scenes wants to achieve, but in reality, how would you feel if this happened?"

In response, the Longteng truck said that the company has always prioritized quality and safety, and all vehicles undergo rigorous testing. Currently, they are actively investigating the incident's progress and will publish the results as soon as possible. Their official Douyin account also simultaneously published a video, emphasizing the product's "hard power" safety performance.
