Great test! I think Nio really need to fix the weird acceleration problem during autopilot. I think this is a key problem downgrading the range of the car. Also -1 °C certainly causes the range to drop, even if other Bjorn Videos are in even colder conditions ;-)
I belive you ask some good questions when it comes to swap. 1. The possibility to swap will probably increase the degradation since owners "does not" care about the battery. Why keep charge below 70% if you can just swap 2. Swapping would replace a brand new battery with a old one when you buy a new car. The ET5T har deliveres with a battery that can handle 180kW charging. But then you swap... 3. You can just change the battery size as promised before. You have to re register the car with the DMV.
I have always liked estates/wagons because they have SUV space with (almost) saloon efficiency. But in this case, the Model Y is more efficient and has more space, right?
The problem is you buy the 100 kwh battery, you only get 85 usable. In china, people buy the 75kwh battery with a less price, and sometimes they are swapped to a 100kwh with 75 kwh usable. Then never swap your battery again😁
Good car, but sadly is the consumption way to high. I my opinion the autopilot with his yoyo acceleration is a part of the high consuption, maybe also the tires. And i dont get the "100kW battery but you only got 85kW thing". I mean, if the net capacity is only 88% in the first test, then why the heck it is now 85%? Were are my 12/15kW are gone?
I sure like the look of it - with roof rails and tow bar. But I did wonder if that external Lidar unit would work in bad weather with no cleaning. Also - I'd knock that Nomi off with a bat 😁
the "new" nomi is just a Halo in the dashboard and not the rotating face now, if u want the rotating face u need to pay extra, they came up with that solution because many europeans said they did not like the Nomi face :)
Nomi is awful. I live in China and don't know why anyone would want to buy a stylish and expensive vehicle and ruin it with some childish cutesy toy, ugh.
Hey Bjorn, thanks for the great work, two questions: 1. the car is 100kwh battery but in the excel it said 85kwh (that seems like a massive gap right? Is 15% normal from gross to net in all cars) 2. How well would this fit 2 big kids chairs in the back?
Bro be careful when you clean the Lidar cuz there are already many reports about the lidar damages the camera lens and electronics. Be sure it is off when cleaning it.
I think that the ET5 outclasses the Model 3 in so many ways, maybe not in efficiency but in terms of quality and premium. Even in the features, NIO cars have so many you don't know where to start. The Model 3 on the other hand is also cheaper!
@@Arpedk The Highland not yet. As soon as I have the chance to sit in it I will go for it. But I know Tesla to good to be surprised by what I have seen so far. They still thrive for cost efficiency and this is still present in the M3 Highland. One example is the cheap carpet in the back of the car or the simplistic design language. Don't get me wrong but it is a very different feeling sitting in a NIO than sitting in an Tesla and NIO cars are very simplistic aswell but you can really feel the difference of Materials and Quality. To be fair thats what I am also expecting because NIO aims to be a premium brand like Audi, BMW, etc. From an Engineering standpoint Tesla is cost efficient oriented keeps everything at a certain level but doesn't invest to much energy into it.
Compared to the old M3 maybe, but the highland improved ALOT in Quality. Also the Software is far far more reliable in a Tesla. I was driving a Nio for 2 Months and had software Issues every single day.
Björn, do you know if you can order the car with leased 75kWh battery and upgrade to 100kWh at a later date or are you locked out of 100kWh if you ordered it with the 75kWh swappable battery? Going with a leased battery seems to be the way to go as you couldn’t care less about degradation.
The answer is "not yet". NIO is trying to make that happen in Europe, but there seems to be some legal issues that need to be solved. In China, yes, you can do that already.
Servus Bjorn... just love your perfect german pronounciation in between, like "Baustelle", "Kaputt", "Schmutz" usw usw.😀 Nice review of a pretty cool car, BTW.
@@ricosun in my humble opinion, Tesla and BYD are the only real players right now, i see no competition otherwise. Biggest suprise was BMW for me (underdog) for performing better as expected.

I wonder if after cleaning the lidar and front cameras, they were sprayed with a hydrophobic glass cleaner would it help with the dispersal of the crap been thrown up by other vehicles. I'm presuming that the reason for the external mounting of the lidar is to do with reflection if mounted inside the windscreen?
Hi Bjorn, Thanks for the excellent content, Any ideas when you will be testing the Fisker Ocean? would be great to here your thoughts on it. Carry on the good work :)
18:12 Do you have to do that every time because you are in a press car and not logged into your own personal profile or do those settings always revert back to defaults? That is super annoying!
Those settings always reset. But you shouldn't need to turn them off unless you are constantly overspeeding and not looking at the road (say, fiddling with cameras :D). The car also feels much nicer to drive with regen set to low, he is probably used to one-pedal driving.
😂You sure your system is not guessing. The model 3 actually using lot of guess work on their FSD. Since the camera is lot resolution. It is even worse in low light condition. My model 3 always tell me the camera is block on rainy day.
Porsche stold the back design from Saab when they went out of business, now many saab engineers and designers work at Nio. So Porsche should give nio this design back
I can accept the brilliance of a swappable battery and the quality of this vehicle. I have Nio on my list of EV makers. But why bother swapping out for an unknown battery from somewhere else? Just keep the new battery it came with and put up with slower rapid charging. At least you know its history. 😊
very good testing, giving out a lot of helpful infos: e-car testing in a nutshell. all other e-car tests suck, they seem being more like a payed testing
Awesome video, as always! Thanks for that! The low capacity of the battery I suspect it's due to a mix of possible degradation but especially low temperatures. You will only get the maximum capacity if the temperature of the battery is around 45°C. The lower the temperature, the lower the capacity
Really like the car, beautiful design but will not be a replacement for my Model 3.. Too heavy, too thirsty, charges way too slow, too expensive. Bummer, really like the looks and practical aspect of a wagon..
If compared to Tesla is seems a lot heavier, less efficient, has lots of small issues and it's more expensive. You've really got to not want a Tesla to get one.
are you saying theres more panel gaps and rattling on the nio than tesla because both model 3 and y have been the worst built cars i have ever owned. Only exception of tesla is supercharging, BMS, motor and software. everything else is poor quality. I would buy a ET5 over a tesla anyday but its not available in my country.
I love Nio. But I think the cars are far too heavy and consume too much. That makes them simply not competitive to Tesla. They even cost significantly more.
What would you consider as stress? We have had them since 2020, been 3 times in Finnish Lapland -26 degrees C, heavy snow. No technical issues whatsoever. If you have the possibility to charge at home, and you drive 100 km every day, you will not have any struggle with an electric car. As a return, it will be cheaper to drive, to maintain, and is much more fun.
Normally I wouldn't be concerned about range, you buy the right car to suit your needs. My issue is too much on board tech that is buggy and prone to crashing or finding out a charger is broken and don't have enough battery left to reach another one. Scandi countries are way ahead, but in Ireland no way.
For the price asked for a chinese car, nah, too expensive to be justified. And we wonder why there's inflation and the comfort is going away. Sellers hiking up prices and everyone doesn't give a damn, just has tunnel vision and looks at narrow aspects, not the big picture.

The first ever trip/consumption meter that you reset with your arse. Amazing!
The Lidar should be located on the top of windscreen so it can be cleaned by the wipers
The snow and dirt should not have much impact on the lidar. It is specificly desinged to piercing through the poor visibility condition
@@林振华-t4v No Radar is designed for poor visiblity, LIDAR is always effected by weather, specific rain can cause the laser to get unreliable data...
It would also make the car more aerodynamic, you should hire for a car engineer. Obvious easy fixes!
And heater
perhaps they could have a washer jet aimed at the LiDAR.
