Great performance by Ray. He enters corner slowly and power out just past mid corners. didn't know you can drift at such low speed...good to know this.
Loved your trip with Ray he was definitely having fun with driving you around the track in the 001. Assume there was still some rubber left on the tyres when you rolled in at the end but also unlike the racing car didn't have those ridiculous sounds playing just the sound of the tyres on the road. That drone operator is like the Stig of drone operators as well.
ZEEKR X screen has a party trick is glides over to the passenger so they can use it on a road trip. The kind of thing that gets nixed by jealous regulators in all our beloved and free countries.
I rented the Lynk n Co 01 in China for a few days, i must say they do hv some similarity with the Zeekr. The overall impression was very good. Solid chassis, European handling with Japanese fit n finish quality. One tank of fuel last me the whole 4 day trip with lots of driving (around 800-900km). Very fuel efficient and quite satisfied indeed.
Fantastic job Tom! These Zeekrs look amazing!! I also loved the drone shots too, very professional. I would have loved to have been given the opportunity to drive these cars as well, would have had a ball.
What a fantastic experience you guys have been given. Thanks for sharing. I really hope the sounds can be permanently turned off on these vehicles. Other than that, any indication of prices in aus?
You guys make great informative videos Thank you ... but watching you drive on a track is like watching paint dry while some one is scraping their nails on a blackboard. 😂😂😂😂😂
It looks like you've been having a great time there. Although a bit disappointed the 007 was not included. That car looks amazing. I really enjoyed the fpv drone shots too. They weren't shot by Rob Mulally by any chance? As I noticed he was also included in the list of people going.
When geely / zeekr comes later this year , they will definitely stir up the market so much. I will just withhold my plan to purchase for now. One thing some Chinese manufacturers need to improve is their infotainment/software and phone app and need to make it intuitive and less clumpsy/laggy
Love it! I particularly like the simulated engine sounds. I experienced something similar with the BMW i7 - very cool. Now if I could have those for my Seal…
I wish press would request test drivers to shut off electronic noise generators. As a reviewer you want the best oppotunity to hear any squeak or ratttle in an EV.

001 looks great but i agree with you Tom the 007 looks amazing and my fav
Yeah loving the 007
Those 001 drivers having so much fun...
It’s a great car! Hopefully we’ll see these in Aus
What an incredible experience for you, well done.
Feeling very grateful for this experience 🙏
Great performance by Ray.
He enters corner slowly and power out just past mid corners.
didn't know you can drift at such low speed...good to know this.
Yeah it was a phenomenal experience with Ray
Amazing room love the blinds action. I want some pastries!
Had some amazing breakfasts 😋
I spent 2019 working in Ningbo. Great city. Unfortunately Covid hysteria bought it all to an end and I had to return to Singapore.
Plenty of industry around Ningbo from what I could see during my short visit

Yeah Ray was awesome, absolute legend!

Yup! I demonstrate it in my walkaround: Walkaround of ZEEKR X - ZEEKR 009 - ZEEKR 007 - ZEEKR 001 - China

Seems like Zeeker is serious about the Australian market? Wonder if they shared any future plan for the Australian market, Tom?
Yes we had a Q&A season with ZEEKR’s VP - Riz & I will discuss on our next live stream
Great drone action. Amazing how you managed to drive the 009 and operate the drone at the same time. LOL! 😉😂😄
Haha I had a few tricks up my sleeve 😅
Jokes aside, with thanks to Rob Mulally our awesome videographer for capturing my drive from the air 🤩

Interesting you say that … the ZEEKR 001 was initially intended for Lynk n Co
when will zeekr001 come to Australia? Can't wait🎉
Let’s hope it does come!
Great video! Amazing to meet you on the trip.
ROB!! Likewise, great spending time with you 🙏 Thanks for the amazing drone footage 👏🏆
Fantastic job Tom! These Zeekrs look amazing!! I also loved the drone shots too, very professional. I would have loved to have been given the opportunity to drive these cars as well, would have had a ball.
Yeah it was a fantastic opportunity which I was very grateful for a small channel such as mine! 🙏
Did they provide any indication when ZEEKR 001 will be available in Australia?
We are petitioning for it to come to Aus!
Oh, millon thanks to Australia. If Australia gets it, Thailand will do too
@@LudicrousFeed cool! hope they announce something soon. It's the EV from China I really want.
What a fantastic experience you guys have been given. Thanks for sharing.
I really hope the sounds can be permanently turned off on these vehicles. Other than that, any indication of prices in aus?
Yeah the artificially generated sounds can be switched off. Pricing TBC
You guys make great informative videos Thank you ... but watching you drive on a track is like watching paint dry while some one is scraping their nails on a blackboard.
😂😂😂😂😂
Need to play more racing games 😅

Yes! Many of the drone shots were done by Rob including my 009 drive 🙏 It was great spending time with him this week 🤩
Great work detective :) was a tough day to film with rain, I considered it a warm-up for future track days ! Fingers crossed.
Thanks again Rob! You know I’m going call on you again for any special drone requirements in the future 😁
That 001 drifting is sweet.
@@RuohongZhao so much fun
Very impressive showing indeed!! Looking forward to seeing these models in the market,
Yes they’re impressive cars!
rock and roll 009
The way that thing rounds that track … ! So smooth
Can I ask what drone you use it's very stable in that condition
Hopefully Rob our videographer sees this comments and can offer the specs of his drone

You turn in so early😂😂😂😂
He wasn’t wrong! 😅
Love it! I particularly like the simulated engine sounds. I experienced something similar with the BMW i7 - very cool. Now if I could have those for my Seal…
Haha it’s only a software update away 😁
The Hyundai Ioniq 5N also has the simulated sounds on track 🙏
001=Beast
Oh yes!
That drifting and drone footage was awesome
Drifting with Ray was an absolute highlight for me on this trip
You're living the life. So jealous
I felt very grateful during this trip 🙏
I wish press would request test drivers to shut off electronic noise generators. As a reviewer you want the best oppotunity to hear any squeak or ratttle in an EV.
Yup good suggestion - if we had more time with the car then that would be on the cards. Will aim to do this when the cars arrive in Aus 🙏
Were their driving instructions too instructive
Not at all. They were very helpful and tailored their guidance to the level of driving skill
One word , Wow.
Right!
👍👍👍👍
🥂
Riz master
So glad he was there!
It’s no good left hand drive not aloud in OZ .
The ZEEKR X and 009 have been confirmed for Australia in RHD
fun trip!!!!
It really was 🙏❤️
Awesome!
😃🙏
As a byd onwer, I have to admit Zeeker always looks coolest on road.
Yeah the 001 and 007 - yum
