NIO owner here, at 2:18 you could just touch the back end of the handle and it pops out. You can check the tripmeter on the gauge cluster and reset by pressing the center buttom for a couple seconds. Sounds and beeps can be turned off in the menu as well ( something I did to my car). Lastly, the car remembers the user profile by the key/card/phone, you can set it up so that everytime you use the keyfob the car recognizes it's you.
bjorn, I am 100% on your side regards the oscillations in speed/power and direction. my father used to drive like that constantly accelerating decelerating, and it drove me crazy!!!
You are completely right Bjørn! I have got ET7 and I provided all these points to the Nio engineers! I am hoping that this is all fixed by the planned software update coming by end of June this year
Former Mercedez driver for 20 years+ owner for 8 years, driven BMW, VOLVO, AUDI but now happey owner of NIO ES8. I have never been in a more luxry car then a NIO ES8 if you thinck a price up to 100K US. Ita a great car and my ES8 dont behave bad like you show with autopilot in exit& merge. Its holds closed to the left line if you dont have any lines on the right side like at a exit or merger whis is totally understandable. But autopilot has allways rom for improvements. I am surpised that after all new cars you have tested you still dont know how to open door handels :) i like your videos and appreciate your good work.
This is why we come to your channel Bjorn because if an EV you are testing has an indiscretion we know you will find it,top consumer advice right here folks 👍😉💪
Hej Björn! I totally agree, super car with bad software. Shame.. Hope they fix it soon. I drove an Et5, with same experience. Keep up the great work you do! One of the best on TH-cam!
IMHO People who think you are being racist when you test cars. Are probably racist's. I have been watching you for about 3 years and you are always unbiased. I definitely think the Chinese need to do some work on the software side of things. It's the only fault I can find with my MG4. By the way after two months of real world London driving. I am getting 4 to 5 mpkwh. And 0 parasitic loss. Great stuff🙏👊
I don't think speaking about Chinese Industry in any manners is being racist. You can make a point about Chinese Industry, you can even be prejudiced against it, but that has nothing to do with Chinese People.
for me, battery swap would work only if: - the car you buy comes with one battery you own - The battery you will get the moment you should opt out of swapping, it would have a minimum guaranteed SOH. Possibly better than what would be with a normally aging battery you own
It would drive me up the wall with that ping ponging from side to side and the power up and down , it might even trigger my car sickness but i have to test drive it first to see if i would feel sick or not , great video like always Björn keep up the good work 👍
Thank you Björn - I've been griping about power on buttons in EVs for years... like why do you need one?? I test drove the EL7 yesterday and it's now my no.1 choice for my new car in May 24.... I test drove the XPENG just a week ago and that was amazing, but the EL7 - the way it drives - reminded me of my 2019 Model X.... but packed with more features and refinements. Nomi takes some getting used to but after researching the AI software behind her and the sheer size of the R&D group responsible for the Banyan software, plus the very personal service users get... hands down this car wins. Now I was not really understanding the battery replacement system... until it was explained to me that next year the 150kw battery pack was coming to Sweden... and it's a 5 minute job to swap it out. Rumours say this new pack will give over 900km range which is insane. Anyhow changing the battery pack as technology improves, rather than having to change the car makes total sense to me now. The one thing that this car has that I miss in all other cars aside from tesla is the camera system... yes, EL7 has full front and rear videoing and recording!
24:00 The main appeal for the battery swap system apart from speed of swaps is not during early ownership - it is for people thinking that after my battery warranty runs out I am protected from a major cost of a new battery if it fails then.
Dont a lot of cars re-lock if you stay around it? Im pretty sure my mazda did that as well (2019), seems like a normal safety feature, and can probably also be tuned off i'd imagine.
You are right, it used to be 88kwh useable then they limited more. New car still come with new battery, and once you payoff your baas, they give you a new one as well, here in China. The current battery swap game from NIO is eventually gonna die
The ping ponging you described on the road is common on other vehicles when using Lane Keep Assist. I have experienced the same sensation on several GM vehicles. The engineers need to finess the software. Is this an issue with Tesla, Ford Etc?
I wish manufacturers especially nio spec much nicer press cars other than bland black on black plastic, these cars can look incredible in the right spect both inside and out
regarding the batteries in the swap station pool, NIO has a requirement of battery health level, for any batteries not meeting the requirement will be rotated out of the pool, including major degradation, overheat, etc.. The key is the swap station will run a health check on each battery that comes through them and ensure all batteries are safe. And for those other EV automakers, although they say batteries are under warranty, guess what, i have heard so many cases that EV makers refused warranties on many bad batteries by saying things like: your batter pack is damaged, it is not part of the battery, the wire is bad and it is not part of the battery warranty, etc.. the bottom line is, the EV makers have the final say on what is defined as battery problem.
Not in countries with strong consumer laws they don't. In Australia for example a manufacturer may give a 2 year warranty for a particular part say the main ECU, but if the reasonable expectation is that the part should last longer in normal service then it is deemed not fit for purpose and the manufacturer is forced to repair or replace regardless of their printed warranty. Tesla for example provides a full warranty over the entire drivetrain including motors, batteries, cables and everything attached to them that makes the car go of 8 years / 160,000 Klm and minimum serviceable range exceeding 70% of that when purchased. If you run over a log in a NIO and physically damage a battery pack they will also refuse a simple swap I am sure.
I wonder how many people will go for the battery leasing option and then realize that there are 10 stations in all Europe and it will take years to build a full network
13:45 agree, but a review shouldn't be bias, short example, complaining all the time about Nomi, or that is a deal breaker because you personally don't like it. So many users prefer Nomi. Or about the software, when you don't know it well.
That would drive me insane too Bjorn (and gongs and Numi thing…). No thank you. Software can be improved…, let’s hope they listen to European market. Maybe it’s normal/fine in China…
battery warranty... do dig in to that.. Nissan had 2 different wantys on the same battery.. one for defect's 5years and 100000km... one for SoC 8 years and 160000km (on the 30kWh vertion) and gues who, is in trouble right in the mittel here..
As for the battery degradation with batteryswap, it does not matter that much as it will not be more then 10% at any time i guess but you pay less for battery if you rent instead of buying if you consider how much you pay for morgage wit rent. And most important thing with battery rent is the sale value of the car as the buyer dont need to thinck too much about the degradation of a old car as he/she will allways get the battery in good condition. I have been a taxi owner for more then 10 years and know what im talking about.
The Nio cars like ET7 and EL7 can tow 2ton. I would like to see tests with that. Is it safe? Did they verify it or just slammed on a high number to be competitive?
there are a German car Tester who has tested the EL7 with a almost 2 tonnage load on the hook (camping trailer), and took it on a trip, with no issues at all, other the reduced distance, and of course the normal issues when having to charge it. RobinTV is the name of his Channel. They drove 100km.. usage 36,8kw/h.. 14 degrees outside temp.. with top speed of 90km/h. on the german highway
@@paitor yup the air resistance if a killer when it comes to Ev`s.. well all kind of resistance, like, wind, rain and so on.. even a Ice car u will see your usage go up when dragging a box though the air.. But your question was also if it was safe, and well, if u have the correct driver licens, its not a bigger issue then with your old ICE car :)
I dont think your knit picking, it has soo many sensors, it should be perfect. Tesla has virtually no sensors on some of its new cars just cameras and does a better job
Min et5 er helt lik pingpong styring og rykk og napp gass. Men hvis du vil prøve noe morsomt/bli båtsyk så må du prøve en nio på landevei med vanlig acc på og sett avstand til høyest fra bil forran. Da mister den konstant kontakt med bil forran i slake kurver og pulserer fra 60kw gass til 70kw regen. DA er det lett å bli syk 🤣
All of these software complaints also apply to Tesla. My Model Y is so frustrating. It pulses. It oscillates. It takes forever to accelerate to the set cruise speed. It doesn’t know what to do when the lane widens. It pings. It pongs. I could go on.
I have tested tons of cars including many, many models of Tesla as well. Tesla does *not* oscillate in acceleration/regen like the Chinese cars. And Tesla doesn't ping pong. Once you try a Chinese car you will understand.
I'm calling BS on this one - I own 2 Teslas there is no oscillation and no ping or pong from a Tesla - if this were the case there would be tons of videos from the Tesla haters out there (of which there are some I hear) - They are not always perfect and have defects for sure like every other car but this behaviour simply does not exist in any of the dozens of Teslas I have been in - Do you even own a Model Y?
@@TB-up4xi Yes I own a Model Y. It pings and pongs every time you put on cruise control and autopilot. It does the same when you stop both. It bongs like crazy in traffic with the new Tesla Vision distance sensor. It takes an age to get to the set speed in cruise control. It sometimes slows down by a few mph for no reason. Whether Apple Music works or not when you get in is like playing roulette. In addition, since I started driving 34 years ago, out of all the brand new cars I’ve owned over that time, it’s the car with the most rattles. It also has the most paint chips at the front compared to other cars I’ve had and it’s only six months old. The suspension is terrible and crashes over the slightest bump. Don’t get me wrong, it does other things really well but it’s not without its faults.

Battery swap model will fail as battery charging improves. Also. if Nio goes bankrupt, who will take over the swap station and manufacture of the replacement batteries that might be need. Nio has painted themselves in a corner.
It is just too expensive. A fully loaded cost almost 1million? WTF? This ain't a proven brand, and do the CCP have access to data collected?

The power surging on cruise does not happen in the Ariyas I have driven as well as my Tesla model 3
And what happens with the battery swaps when you get cars, which charge from 0-80 in 6 minutes? And the battery preconditions itself naturally.
You are NOT nitpicking, Bjørn…,
That constant steering correction is annoying as my x3 does the same thing and it drives me nuts. I just don’t use that feature anymore.
