This car in black would look fire!
Specially the rear, reminds me of the new 911 turbo s.
Should check out the chrome version. It looks sublime!
The best part about Chinese cars is their effect on other manufacturers. They force other EV companies to be more competitive in terms of quality and price. Without competition, prices will stay much too high.
Chinese cars become BETTER THAN LEGACY CARS.
It’s already forcing Tesla to drop prices 🙂
@@EmmaNguyen-mg5xq Chinese cars are comical junk, hence they have stayed out of the USA market, as they would be laughed out as a bad joke...
They only cheap to buy in Asia
Or do what USA does, ban Chinese products from being sold in USA to protect USA manufacturers with the USA customers losing out.
Lidar is an acronym of "light detection and ranging" or "laser imaging, detection, and ranging". It is a method for determining ranges by targeting an object or a surface with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver - from Wikipedia. So, yeah, it shoots lasers out of the roof.
My thoughts exactly 🤣
"Who needs that?" He said, standing in front of a car that literally shoots lasers out of its roof
😂😆😆😂
@@krugerdave at least it doesn’t have pointless features like.... putting another windscreen on the roof
That’s not expensive, heavy, a nightmare to clean or replace for no good reason other then trying to look expensive
Cos that’s what people want in a more budget car 🤦♂️
@@nc3826 whoever said anything about the lasers being dangerous? They're not even in the visible spectrum... But still, lasers 😎
exactly!
the design its top and performance promises a lot! cant wait to see it in UK
Amazing looking car! Nio, please bring it to Australia. We don't need battery swap stations yet. It can come later.
Sticking with my 2006 V8 Holden. Way cheaper, way more practical, way better for the planet.
@@clives4501 Or not :)
you can print adjust the steering feel and suspension via the control center, ie sport, comfort, etc
Another nice car from China, well presented as usual Elliot.
It's 62000 € with the 75kWh battery in Germany, with range similar to the 44000 € Model 3. Even the M3P is cheaper. So it undercuts what, the Model S?
Same thought here. Dunno who they try to fool 😂
@@Bud_Terence battery swap/charge + no battery liability in the long run
@@nntransinc4498 12000/(170x12)=5,88 So you pay more than the full price of the battery in 6 years.
It has more range, you can upgrade the battery more easily, driving assist is more future proof with lidar, quality control is better and they don't have an insane CEO being more bothered with twitter than inproving the QC of teslas.
@@shinoMusic Quality control is better? Has Nio shipped numbers outside of China yet to prove that?
7:02 it's hilarious that you say "we don't need that!" when talking about shooting lasers out of the roof...when this car does exactly that with the LIDAR unit...lol
Yep, mentioned it multiple times which really annoyed me when, as you say, that's exactly what it DOES do. Aside from kitchens in Rivians I couldn't really think of any "unnecessary features" of other EVs either. Seemed like making a point out of nothing.
My experience, testing the bigger brother of this, the ET7, was that it was very much like a Tesla Mpdel S, but better in every imaginable way; better quality feel, better use of space, better design (especially on the interior) and much, much more fun to drive (when in sport mode). I expect this to be in the same way, in regards to the Tesla Model 3, which they obviously pin-poited as the main compettror. Looks similar, but better, it's a sedan (when it could been a hatchback) and it even got the same kind of interiot door-poppers as the Model 3. I love the interor - one of the best looking on the market and the exterior is also very good looking. Will be interesting to compare with both the ET7 and the Model 3, if/when I get a chance to test drive it.
I agree, it looks way better and more modern. I think it's worth the premium
Tesla model 3 in china starts at 229,900 batteries included, a fair bit cheaper than the ET5
So the video needs a new, less clickbaity, title
But a great addition to the EV offering nonetheless
❤ great comment
Standard range?
Awesome review, thank you Elliot and keep the NIO reviews coming. Cannot wait for your reviews of the new NIO SUVs.
The 150kWh battery option is gonna be interesting. I wonder how they'll fit that many cells into the battery... and if Nio can do that others will too
If they can manage that then they will have some decent range even with towing a caravan. But that battery will be like half the weight of the whole car...
I think its a solid state tech. kWH is just a measure of energy, not volume. The new tech must be able to fit more kwh of energy into the same sized (or smaller?) cells/pack
@@myvideos1125 I think the issue is weight rather then size.... but I get your point
@@myvideos1125 yeah it is solid state... they announced it back in 2021. It's still not available of course and nobody knows how long it will take till it's market ready. Looks like Nio pulled one out of the old Elon Musk playbook...
forget The Elon gang.... they can't even do a battery swapping...
Thanks Eliot - interesting - looking forward to seeing them in the UK.
Do we have a date for the uk
Your presentation style has greatly improved Elliot! I've been following you since your very first review for FC. Keep it up!
Unfortunately he’s clueless about technology
One added feature I would like to see is a 220V AC outlet somewhere, say in the trunk, which I could use to power my electric chain saw, welder or even a kettle.
Undercut Tesla?
In Denmark Et5 75kw is Prized 20% higher than a TM3 LR.
Keep up, Fully Charged.
Note the dual motors. It's pitted against the Model 3 Performance.
But again...I don't think they're that similar.
@@theolich4384 Not fast enough to be up against M3 P.
M3 LR also has 2 motors, and with a acceleration boost, it's still a lot cheaper and also faster than a ET5.
@@1963Bonde What alternative reality that has a Model 3 LR with dual motors?
@@theolich4384 What?
Pretty sure context was undercutting within China. It is misleading when general audience for these videos is English speaking.
Nice. Looking forward to rent one of those some day.
This is a superb presentation; you knocked-it-out-of-the-park with this one. You know how to keep people listening and make it interesting.
Although, I'm not sure we'll be seeing NIO here stateside on a grand scale anytime soon.
Cheers from Texas.
Great review thank you!
This must have been done before Tesla’s price cuts.
I'm only 50 seconds in to the video but please don't tell me the price in China and then convert it to £'s because we will never get it for that price.
This anchor/host usually does weird stuff with his videos. I usually skip them
@@gormauslander still presents the car in a good way. Just disregard the prices in China of pretty much every video he’s in 😁
LOL THEY OBVIOUSLY CONVERTED THE PRICES JUST TO GIVE YOU A ROUGH GUIDE LOL... OBVIOUSLY ITS NOT GOING TO BE THE EXACT PRICE IN YOUR COUNTRY. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT YOU JOKER
Yeah but since you clearly know that.... What's the issue.
Same with American cars, I feel bad for how much Europeans have to pay for models only built in the U.S.A./Canada.
Excellent video! What an amazing car and company! Come to Canada🇨🇦 soon NIO 🚀
Great review, thank you.
Great video, will this be coming to the UK any time soon . Hopefully it will force the big auto makers to up their game 🥹
Don't expect it to be cheap in UK. We saw what happened to Ora Cat🙁
Car should get announced for the UK market by end of this year or definitely next year. Already hiring staff there.
Same range BMW i4 costs 10k less in Germany. Telsa Model 3 with Nio-comparable quality is 20k less.
I don't think it is going to sell especially well in Europe.
I4 is compromised ICE platform
Model 3 is like 6 years old frog design
Thanks Elliot! Looking forward to seeing you at FCL Sydney AU! :) This is a nice car but love to know the coefficient of drag and what the WLTP or EPA range figures are even more real-world would be good. Agree with how you open the door, what is wrong with a door handle to open the door. I worry about the glass roof particularly in hot days not unless it has a cover like the Atto 3 has and other EV's. That tow rating is amazing though wish more EV's had 1,000+kg tow rating, I've seen compact ICE cars with tow bars/hitch on them so there should be no reason for all EV's to have towing capacity.
Fellow Aussie here & I agree that the unshielded glass roof is stupid.
A cheaper & better way to go would be a full metal roof & light-coloured roof linings.
Regarding towing with an EV, realise that it would drain the battery extremely quickly, especially at highway speeds.
The new interior door release & mirror operation are definitely improvements, as they are protruding physical toggle switches, which, once accustomed to, would mean that you keep your eyes on the road.
I think he mentions the coefficient drag at the beginning when talking about the gaps at the front headlights.
Good review. Don't forget to place your order..
With the LiDAR and cameras fitted, how good is the autonomous driving?
Yeah, I wanted to see that, too.
Man, you nailed it when you said, most people are going to be on their phones in the passenger seat. I always thought other manufacturers with their 20 thousand screens was way too much. Also, I love your lasers shooting out of the roof comment re: other manufacturers. That's what I love about NIO. They are elegant in their design.
What technique will the 150 kWh battery come with? It‘s a very unusual capacity for a sedan.
What's under the front hood ?
Is there storage or car bits
I've watched for many years; I'm at pains to say that I think the script for this video could have been tighter. As a friendly critique, there's a lot of repetition which if focused would have been a narrative build up to the final conclusion. But the conclusion was instead repeated throughout the video and I think it created a bit of a headwind.
Big fan of fully charged and Elliot's reviews. Please keep up the good work.
I agree, I have this with more videos on this channel lately. Quite a bit of repetition and praise for certain brands and ideas, but less focus on quality feeling, driving and actual range.
Adding to the repetition the fact that some of the ideas presented seem just copying from Tesla creating a deja vu effect/sensation
Completely agree
Lot of repetition
Also not enough info about center console
Bloody love the look of the Neo ET5. Bring it to Europe please, as long as the price is as stated in this review.

It's pretty darn good! I would prefer its bigger brother though.
Very interesting.... and a great video.
That’s not a soft close door 😀 soft close is where you close the door gently and then an actuator takes over and closes it fully. Nice job otherwise
All of NIO's NT2.0 platform cars including the ET5 come with soft close doors. He just didn't present it properly :D
This is a soft door.
I'm an owner of ET5
@@violawasser2932 How is your experience with the ET5 if I may ask? :)
@@stefanospap6288 steping on the brake pedal is like steping on a piece of sponge. It doesn't give proper feedback.
But still even better than the brake of Tesla which feels like stepping on a stone.
@@violawasser2932 Are you happy with your purchase overall?
Great review, thanks. It'll be a while before battery swapping reaches the smaller island nations off mainland Europe, I imagine. Malta, Cyprus, Ireland, (UK?) will likely never be a priority.
battery swapping will not be anything mainstream at any point
It would be easier to cover the UK in battery swap stations than China or the US.
@@shoelessjoe428 it's completely pointless
@@shoelessjoe428 Cornwall? Dundee? Enniskillen? It is always tempting to only cover areas of a higher density population, when providing infrastructure. The UK has a relatively low density of population overall so this will remain a challenge.
Basically the right-hand drive countries😅
Needs an estate version for those of us with dogs. Most SUVs have a similar boot space to an estate but usually due to the height not the floor area, so no where for dogs to lay when travelling
Shooting brake hits Europe in July this year.
ET5 Touring spot on
I can't ignore that cake comment. Ever since discovering what hot sauce can do to frosting, I have never gone back. Although, to be fair, I use Louisiana style hot sauce, and only a dash, but the flavor difference is incredible. The slight bit of vinegar and spice bring out a vibrancy in the frosting that is essential. Your saying that hot sauce is too weird for cake is like if I were to say that salt is too weird for food.
Otherwise, great video!
Can you guys start another channel and re review some of these cars a few years down the track. Call it fully charged rewind and just let people know how some of these vehicles are going quality wise, battery status, durability etc. just a thought as it would certainly help buyers looking at getting into the used EV market.
Thanks.
Great idea! I also want to know more on the real-life kWh usage.
Seriously. Treating these like equals in established markets where players have been around for a decade or more is ridiculous.
If the 75kWh battery gives you 560km range... Why don't they have a 50kWh option? A battery with a bit over 370km range, should be be perfectly sufficient, even for longer journeys.
CLTC range is known to be generous. Multiply by 0.8 for WLTP and once more for EPA range. Nio cars aren't known to be the most efficient out there, but you have battery swap to boot.
Because this expensive chinese is thirsty 😂
@@theolich4384 ~240km is still pretty decent.
with the diminishing returns on adding more and more battery, it may be you would get more than that, but also i feel we need more 20/30/40kwh batteries, without their own weight to drag around they would be much moree efficent. That doesnt make sense but you probably know what i mean.
@@dorianleakey It makes complete sense.... Most people dont drive far daily
Just got my Atto 3 in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 Best Interior I've ever seen. Every car has almost the same Interior style . Atto 3 is completely different and is less serious.
Gorgeous looking car. Definitely my next purchase.
I want to buy a Nio as soon as the SUV comes to Canada. I own a Tesla Model S and wished I could trade it in the the Nio ET7.
As a Canadian, I couldn't agree more. $NIO

Color is basically oxidized yellow, exactly like an old bright yellow pickup truck I had decades ago that faded in the sun to a powdery washed out yellow.
Am I the only one looking at this and simply seeing a Nio “Model 3”?
In terms of range this might beat the Tesla Model 3. I wonder if the rest will hold up though in comparison. Will certainly have a look at it once it arrives in Europe.
And the ioniq 6 will do better than this too.
I would certainly hope so with a 150kw battery 😂
You can have a look at the NIO beauties in Berlin at the NIO house.
7:41 Tesla did that first in EV's...frameless windows and a massive glass roof. Check.
Yes yes very bad!
The glass roof is a minus in my view. Try living in the Australian sun with a roof like that.
So strange to listen to him referring the R&D and this R&D seems to translate into copying Tesla...
So when exactly is it supposed to reach Europe and in particular, the UK?
Thanks for the review! I'm living in Shanghai and I think after watching this video I'm getting this over Tesla
6:28 umm, you can't compare pricing against other makers when you leave the monthly battery rental cost out of your Nio pricing. You MUST add this back in to the total cost of ownership to make any kind of fair comparison. Over five years of ownership that battery will add $10,800 to the cost of ownership. And you'll pay that every 5 years FOREVER.
This is why I don't like Nio. I like Xiaopeng and BYD.
you can always buy it without the battery swap, and don’t forget to discount the free swaps per month, which will save you the cost of charging / fuelling, access to the nio houses, nio service included, etc.
This is a good point, and another one that would have been made by a host with healthy skepticism and thorough research
You will also have a battery in perfect condition with the latest technology forever. You also get two free swaps (at least) that you can save every month that will save you around $10 000 in those five years if we take average german prices at charging stations.
Also massively overstated the price of the Tesla, which is 30,000 cheaper than the battery rental, and 100,000 cheaper than the battery outright car.
This guy is such a Chinese car lover!
What's really hard to understand is that both the ET5 and the BYD Seal look significantly better than the Tesla Model 3, even though they are all similarly styled. What is Tesla doing? Can't they hire someone who knows how to design beautiful cars? One only has to look at a Tesla model X to realise just how clueless their design department is. I remember when Hyundai couldn't style a car to save their lives, then they hired Luc Donckerwolke and went from some of the ugliest cars on the road to some of the best. I think NIO and BYD are going to do very well. I'd pay more for a Seal or an ET5 than I would a Tesla Model 3. Just make them available in North America.
Good review.
Fantastic and Best looking car! Makes me want to buy one right now.
The model 3 had a price cut 2 weeks ago in China and is now 229,900 yuan. Which is significantly cheaper than this car! Obviously the model 3 has a smaller battery but is more efficient and has no monthly fees for battery.
Wait, you don't have to pay for a monthly fee if you buy the battery, no?
@@rs-dp6pr the battery included Nio was already 30+% more expensive than a model 3! The only cheap Nio was the battery rental one. But this is now 15% more expensive than a base model 3 in China.
That boot is small for a car of that size, my 2002 Mazda 6 saloon had 501 liters
The back looks like a Aston Martin DBX.
Love the ET5! Sadly it's priced way above the Model 3 here in Sweden, around €15,000 more to be exact (SR M3, no battery lease on Nio).
That's in no way justified for me, even if I would 99% go for the Nio ET5. Even renting/leasing the battery is more expensive than Model 3, starting price is then €3500 or so more which is fine by itself but then I would need to pay €180/month for the battery...
Sorry Nio, you need to reevaluate your price model here in Sweden.
Can't you buy from Norway, and import it into Sweden? It's cheaper in Norway.
@@thanksforyouruploads You don't have to be broke to consider saving €15,000 on 2 comparable cars. You just have to value your money, and not spending too much of it on a depreciating asset.

@@ambessashield9360 Did you chip your hand too?
@@samusaran7317 ?
Thanks Elliot. Looks like a great car, but I’m doubting the whole battery swapping thing. I don’t see it becoming something widespread for a single brand. And on the practical side, getting large grid connections on that scale might be a problem for the next couple of years in some countries.
The idea is great for road trips, but much rather have fast charging and/or inductive charging or such.
There are countless benefits to battery swap. Not getting out of your car, fully autonomous, and only pushing a button to swap is just one. In the Winter this a big benefit. NIO has agreements with many petrol companies to build out swap stations at existing gas stations. Charging batteries slowly during off-peak hours is less costly and degrades the batteries less. Swapping a faulty battery with no service call is brilliant. Swap reduces total cost of ownership. Able to upgrade or downgrade battery capacity at every swap. No built-in battery technology obsolescence. I could go on...
I think the MAIN advantage is to upgrade the battery after years, I drive a 2019 Model S and I am not getting the same range at all
battery swap aside, NIO evs are still brilliant EVs, with better fit and finishing than Tesla
Also battery swap might not suit your country, but it certainly does in China
In my geography, long distances with little to no infrastructure…..a battery swap scenario is ideal….no charging anxiety.
Is it battery swap only or can you charge at home as well?
Charge at home/on road also
Nothing to do with the tech, but I love that 2-tone leather on the steering wheel.
Looks really good! But 381l and no frunk is very little storage space if you compare eg to Model 3
Pretty sure he deliberately avoided talking/comparing about the model 3 other then it’s price. The cars are basically the same. People will be cross shopping them and not so much the others that he mentioned.
yeah and on this car you cant even drop the backseats so the space is even worse then on tesla.
@@danielstefanovic2604 BS!!
At 14:05 you can see the leaver for dropping the seat and when he's talking about the trunk he states that the rear seats fold flat 🤷♂️
@@reedjackson8834 and... He gave the wrong numbers for the price of a Tesla in China. The base M3 is 229,900 RMB. 30,000 cheaper than the car without a battery, 100,000 cheaper than the version that comes with a battery.
I think Nio is far too expensive and a company that thinks battery swapping can work -well Elon tried that very bad idea - as Sandy Munro says ‘you never want to have connectors being stressed’ and especially high voltage ones plus others !
Oh it’s just $10800 every 5 years for battery rental !, a reason for the cars worth dropping out of the sky - just imagine the 2nd 5 years
Every car beats that !, even ICE costs
A 50 kWh battery would be interesting to see.
Initial thoughts. Bloody beautiful to look at..
7:01 such a nice smiley on the open door
A fabulous car, inside and out!! Go NIO!!
Nice looking car! But... a couple of things. Like almost all Chinese car companies, with the exception of BYD, none are profitable. And while Nio's battery swapping seems neat, it either is going to make it harder to become profitable, or its owners will be paying a monthly fee in perpetuity. If you have a battery-swap scheme, you have several issues. First, you have to manufacture multiple battery packs for each car- so you have a larger capital expenditure. Second, it makes it hard to develop future battery packs without having to build out either larger battery swap stations, or having different versions of it. Third, it is going to make it hard to sell the car, as not everyone is going to want to rent the battery- and how do you do a trade-in for a new car that is not a Nio, with a rented battery? With battery charging times getting less and less, there is just no future need for battery swap stations, especially for just driving around the city, which most drivers do the vast majority of the time. And it is a whole lot cheaper to build charging stations than battery swap stations, even without including the cost of the extra batteries.
Good analysis . But i think its just an extra feature thats nice to have. I won't be buying a nio just because of it. But it does provides extra flexibilty. You can chose to buy battery outright or rent it for lowering initial buy price. Easier to upgrade to future better batteries. I wouldn't worry about battery swap station being incompatible, because they can be dynamically adjusted based on different model's measurements. But it is really useful ? I don't think so, i think Nio is wasting money. I wish they can focus on making their cars cheaper, but i guess they want to be a premium brand, so they want something like this to differentiate.
@MrAl99807
Nio is expected to reach profitability in less years then Tesla did. The above post is Tesla Fanboy
That Nomi thing on the dashboard which turns it's head is so scary
That is great news. Keep it up
Same range as a standard model 3 with a higher price is not much of an undercut.
And little cargo space 😏
Probably higher charging times as well.
look at the performance of this, it tops Tesla in all aspects!
Better design and range is longer
Interesting review. Unfortunately haven't entailed most of its technical specs of the car such as suspension, wheel size, battery type, infotainment system and software etc. I think without that it is very difficult to place this car on the market and compare it or position it above most of the manufacturers...
I agree with you. Too much aesthetics, not enough specs. Aesthetics are subjective, but u can use stats to compare other vechiles in class. Least he mentioned the lack of frunk. So many fully charged reviews dont mention if frunk or not.
At least charging speed is important... I agree, too much rambling and too few specs. Almost sounded like a NIO advertisement, the trunk is really tiny on such a big car and without a frunk to compensate not many families would pick this vehicle.
There are endless videos that geek out over specs, how much wider this model is in mm.... nah, super happy with Eliots style
He doesn’t have a clue doesn’t know what LiDAR is air curtains he’s clueless
Are the battery ranges comparable to the ranges in Europe and the US? 500+ km on a 75kwh battery seems too good to be true with standard everyday use
Yep that's over 4.5 miles per kWh which is most unusual. I'd expect realistically more like 2/3 to 3/4 that range so 235 to maybe 275 miles?
No. CLTCis more optimistic than WLTP, never mind the more realistic us test. Looks way less efficient than Tesla (I don't own a Tesla by the way)
Focussed on practicality.Where is the manual controls for temp and vol.Trying to navigate a screen to change these settings is arguably more dangerous than using your mobile whilst driving.
Very interesting Elliot, thanks. Not sure about ‘large’ boot though, 381l is Golf sized and no supplementary frunk means poor comparison as a family car. I seem to recall that Tesla were originally proposing battery swapping but nothing came of it, do we know why? Unlike Elon to miss a good idea…
Also the boot access looks very frustrating.. Can imagine many situations where items could fit inside but can't fit into the opening
Back = Porsche Taycan
Yeah, same thought here...
Yep, and the front is like someone took a Kona face and stretched it over a Model 3.
Can you please do a real world range test for this battery option
Check out Bjorn nyland. There isn't much he hasnt tested so far.
Can you charge it, or does it have to be a swapped battery?
You can charge or swap.
Looks nice but that’s about it, still prefer model 3 or y for price and tech. Feels more like a sales pitch than a review, terrible
Thank you, Fully Charged! Excellent presentation! ET7 has received critical rewiews at best so far here in Denmark. Very slow charging in the mild winter weather we have this year are a common problem (described by many users in the NIO app), as well as a freezing center screen. Not very convincing so far. But the 150 Kwh battery is a joker, if and when it becomes available. I would choose an Mercedes EQE over a NIO so far.
The 150kwh battery would be very useful for those caravan types, and as it has battery swap features you can choose when you want a 150 kWh or a 75kWh depending on your needs.
@@showme360 Assuming they can actually fit a 150kWh battery in it. No one has been able to do that, even on a much larger EV like a Model S, so there are significant doubts that can even be done.
ET7 is car of the year 2022 Sweden
Are those two cars in the same price range in Denmark?
@@ciybersal9833 Surprising. Don't they like the Uighurs?

Great car and brand overall but still too expensive...!
If you drive very little look at a car with a smaller battery. Most people only need a used $10k ev but sadly their stuck in their own ego and vanity.
I just test drived the ET5 and I can guarantee you that it's much better than the Tesla Model 3 I have...I think i'm going to change!
I am hoping Nio goes global soon!
Can you name some aspects in which it's better? How is the software for example?

A great car if it does come to the UK for that price
Great review, of the Nio ET5 Elliot. It's worth mentioning that Nio's self driving system is reliant on Lidar, Radar, Ultrasonics & Cameras for it's HD Maps based self driving system. It's not simply an optional extra, it wouldn't work without LIDAR unfortunately...
Just out of curiosity, why do there never seem to be any other cars on the roads during Elliot's tests? 🤔
they go to the city outskirts to film on purpose, because filming in a mega city like Shanghai is a nightmare.
I think he filmed at Shanghai port 32 kms into the sea at a time people are already on new year holiday.
What is a PS in terms of power?
I love SUV but I like Sedan too, the pricing will determine which to get.
I love your reviews please review more Chinese cars your way better than wheelsboy
Great car ! Much better looks (interior and exterior) than model 3 but here in Europe it is much much more expensive almost by 50% than model 3 standard range.
In China, its price is also 50% higher than that of the Model 3.
Looks interesting!
Just one question comes to mind; does this excellent vehicle have regenerative braking?
Yes it does. And it is adjustable.
I'm all aboard the EV-hype train and yet nothing about this car or its pricing appealed to me. Battery swapping is not the selling point motor-journalists seem to think it is.
I find it really weird that battery swapping isn't a thing in "the west", given that so many of the "I'll never buy an EV / I drive 5,000 miles every day in my diesel without problems" brigade state battery life/replacement and long range drive requirements as their primary issues with EVs. My first thought was it's a knock-off of the Tesla with arguably nicer styling in places, but the taxi light/LIDAR on the roof, and the fact it'll be WAY more expensive than the Tesla in the UK just makes it a complete non-starter
Is Elliot on PRC’s salary? Time to get someone who can give a Jack type balanced and entertaining view.
To be fair he did mention a few bad points about it. Lets not bring politics into a car show.
Because someone is not rabid anti Chinese goebbels like you, you start crying about not enough hate and spew.
It's a bit weird that he keeps rabbiting on about how it undercuts the Model 3 that is about 100,000 RMB cheaper.
@@gasdive it’s cheaper than Tesla if brought without batteries. And it’s 50000 rmb more expensive with batteries.
When will they bring the Tata Sierra 4x4 EV from India to the UK...? 🤔
I've only ever driven used cheap reliable used cars so if I'm going to pay that much for a car....I DO want lasers shooting out of the roof! 😁12:02
