@YaProof I'm looking into a similar issue and noticed that if you bind a method to @change.native , then you can access the user's input and manipulate it.

Example:

<el-date-picker v-model="value1" @change.native="method1"></el-date-picker>
...
methods: {
  method1(e) {
   // e.target.value contains the user's input
  }
}

My issue is that in Element version 2.7, Element automatically converted 01012020 to 01/01/2020, but as of 2.13 it does not any more....

@freeman-g Thanks, this will solve my problem.
