Rate the EL6 1 to 10! 👇👇

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

8

[@EmreEfeoglu]

I would say 9, looks great. Would be 10 with better efficiency

[@robertolampedecchia5230]

Fantastica 10!

[@binothomas8614]

9 looks good and nice quality

[@brianwong4803]

I owned an ES6 of the previous generation and it’s fantastic for its comfort and premium service . So I would rate it a 10 for this new one .

[@Achillias]

This car looks way way better than the Model Y from Tesla.

[@QK..]

Quality is much higher too.

[@javiersequeros9634]

...and so is the price with a much worse efficiency. I think they are very different cars with a different target audience. EL6 is more beautiful and better quality. Would I pay 20k extra for that? probably not; but surely some people will. (I have a model Y)

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Also a much bigger car in most aspects.

[@RIZFERD]

Lenovo, New Legend since 1984 China = Legendary IBM THINK USA, Legendary Motorola USA, Revolutionary Nio EV, Medion Germany, etc

[@tani123]

My explanation for why the EL6 is cheaper than the Tesla Model Y. I think the correct comparison is Tesla Model y Performance, because there is a difference of less than 0.3 second in real acceleration. But for the sake of the example we will be conservative and choose the long range version which is hard to call sporty but not terrible. So we chose the long range, 20 inch rims, the most beautiful color of nio is standard, so we will also add white color, now we come to autonomous driving, which is standard for nio, (in fact nio has twice as many sensors) so we will add full autonomous driving , and the final price is 66 thousand euros. Only a guarantee that your battery will forever be in the maximum state of health, 150 kilowatts of free electricity, two swaps, and that the vehicle is really ready for autonomy and you don't need to connect it to an outlet every so often. Only this is worth 170 euros per month, so the rally price is 52 thousand euros, but then we have a problem, the range of the y long range model is 533 kilometers, while the range of the nio is 406 kilometers, (for the sake of conservatism I will ignore the fact that the real range of the nio closer to the WLTP range than Tesla) because the nio has upgrades on a daily basis it turns out that you need the larger battery less than 20 percent of the time, and with battery swap, 80 percent of the time with this large battery is saved, therefore, the price of the larger battery must be added to the price Less the price of the smaller battery divided by five. So 21 minus 12 equals 9 divided by five gives 1.8, rounded up to two thousand euros. So, it turns out that the price of the equivalent version is 54 thousand euros compared to 66 thousand euros with Tesla. Except that they are not really parallel because nio is much better.

[@NeutralGenericUser]

Nio is killing it. Please bring these cars to Canada! I'd love to get an ET5 Touring.

[@tknt1658]

that car is amazing

[@08Derrock]

Incredible car with amazing quality, amazing tech, and the ability to battery swap! The swapping is underrated. You can always make sure you have a healthy battery and healthy car.

[@TB-up4xi]

The main problem is the economic viability of this system. NIO has made losses of $827million USD in Q3 23 and $647million in Q2 23, and the losses are getting bigger each quarter. It should be that the more cars they sell the less the charger swap network costs per car but Q3 they made $60 million profit on cars but spent $887million on the swap network and admin, that is unsustainable even with the backing of the CCP.

[@08Derrock]

@@TB-up4xi they are building out their infrastructure early on, just like Amazon did when building out their warehouses and people were telling them they were crazy and burning too much money. It’s called having foresight. Their tech is spot on and their sub brands are on the way a $20,000 EV that can swap it’s battery is going to be revolutionary.

[@natehiger410]

[@lkrnpk]

If they cannot make it then yes, if they can it offers a lot of possibilities. Of course charging times are going up but also how good is that for a battery and what with the grid going forward, EVs will not destroy the grid but massive investments are needed if we want to have a lot of fast charging. Battery swap offers a lot of possibilities like you ciuld use a cheaper smaller battery when you are driving in a city abd when you gave to drive long distance you temporarily swap it to big battery maybe. Also you can charge them slowly at night and offset peak fast charging that will also be a thing at holidays etc. when masses of people go somewhere

[@haveaseatplease]

[@gery4870]

Really really love this EL6. Would be my perfect EV SUV. Hope NIO can solve SW issues like ''reset trips and kWh/100km counter'' and improve powertrain efficiency :) Greetings from Barcelona !!! 😇

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

The charging is a lot better now, but there's room for improvement. Trip info is really an issue, but that would be an easy fix.

[@tani123]

The vehicle is actually relatively efficient compared to an electric vehicle as wide and tall as this one, and the difference from the WLTP was only 5 percent at 80 km/h, Which is much closer to the WLTP range compared to Tesla. This problem is almost certain to be fixed with a software update.

One of the best reviews of the EL6 that I found on YT. Despite the short time that you had with the vehicle, very informative, learned many new things and nice to understand the differences compared to the original EL6. Great location enhanced by the nice video quality and drone shots. Last but not least, enjoyable and to-the-point presentation. Agree with your conclusion that this EL6 will become the top seller for NIO in Europe. NIO houses and lifestyle is a funky way to attract new customers, but I wouldn't use it much if I bought one.. Tack from Germany! :-)

Nice calculation..add to the calculation that the nio is a bigger car in general and more comparable to an EQae SUV or a BMW IX.

[@stevehale4712]

@@ItsOnlyElectricpassenger space in the Nio is far superior than the model Y, much nicer place to spend time when on the road

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@stevehale4712 I agree

[@javiersequeros9634]

But for the same reason, above price calculation could be argued A Tesla model Y long range with 75kw battery has only marginal worse performance and same range as a NIO EL6 with 100kw battery. Tesla Standard Autopilot is good enough to spend an extra penny on FSD that doesn't add much. In this case, Tesla is ca. 20k eur cheaper. I'm not saying Tesla is better, but it's clearly cheaper. NIO EL6 belongs to a higher class for it's quality and dimensions . No doubt

[@javiersequeros9634]

...and I still love my Tesla model Y after 1 month of use and happy with its "cheap" interior 😂.

[@stevehale4712]

Drivers seat can be adjusted on the seat base button for thigh support length, agree on lack of side support, if driven hard you would need to hang on to the steering wheel to stop sliding around. Only 4 days since living with my new ES6 but so far very pleased with it. Your comments on ride firmness are very useful, I am running in comfort setting since I picked it up and on certain surfaces it does feel a bit like a boat the way it floats, it tends to make my wife travel sick, first thing tomorrow I will go for a stiffer setting.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, I recommend driving on the stiffest mode. Congratulations to your car!

Great review and great car in a fantastic environment. The only pending subject for Nio is the efficiency. I am of the opinion that this cars almost competes with cars like Mercedes EQE suv or BMW ix rather than Tesla model Y . Btw, how does NiO pilot conpares to Tesla standard Aitopilot? Regards from beautiful Bavaria

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Nice, really jealous of that nature of yours!!! I have been testing Nio pilot a lot lately and must say that it's on par with an in some cases better than the Standard autopilot on the Tesla. But there are probably cases I haven't tested yet that's lacking. Overall impressed though. And you are right, it competes with EQE SUV, BMW IX, Q8 Etron and Xpeng G9 rather than Model Y.

Hope you get to test a production ready version of the Xpeng G9 also soon, to compare with this 😎 What I don't like with the G9 is very low payload and the passenger seat, other than that, this Nio better be really good to beat it, imo.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

I have the G9 now, the real production version. 😃

[@NorwayBEV]

Really nice review, as always! There is also much to like about G9, for sure, but compared to EL6, it lacks some important features for me such as: matrix led, head up, 40/20/40 backseats and a sunroof, doesn't it? My choice, after driven both, and considering the price point i Norway, would definitely be EL6. The interior in the G9 looks good, and feels 95 % good, but I can't stand the piano black and the "thin silver" on the steering wheel. The G9 is already facelifted (small one) in China, maybe they've sorted those things out?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Good reasoning. Stay tuned for my comparison.

[@-Loth-]

Yea, I would also really like matrix on the G9 also, but at least it have very good light, even though no matrix/ pixel functionality. Headup, meh, I haven't tested the car yet, but have tested a few other with headup that hasn't impressed me at all. It might be good on the EL6 though, I can't say yet. Had cars before with sunroof that I only opened a few time 'for fun'/ show, but don't see the big thing about it. What I think I'm really going to appreciate, at least on longer roadtrips, are the passenger screen you get in G9. It's a shame really that Nio doesn't have one. Also G9 has a bit more space, like the frunk, which is very practical on roadtrips. More towing weight, but still to bad it doesn't have even more, they both should have, being they both are pretty large and very powerful. G9 looks to be more efficient and very fast charging. Battery swap could be great in time, depending on where you drive, but for now I would rather choose faster charging. Even though the suspension on the EL6 is good, it doesn't have air-suspension, and it's a bit more noisy (from what I have read/ heard, but I guess we will see some more comparison between the two soon). And 7 year warranty on the G9 vs 5 on EL6. Piano black surfaces is easy to fix with some wrap 😉So I don't know, they are both candidates for me still.

[@NorwayBEV]

I like your comment, and reasoning! It's lots of pros, and maybe just a couple of small cons, with these two, and it really is a customers market, with alot to choose from, and I'm just glad not everybody is getting in line to get more Y's, ID.4's and e-trons 😉 (nothing wrong with them, but a bit more diversity wouldn't hurt)

[@tani123]

First of all fantastic video! But I do miss a direct comparison with the competitors, yes you talked about the advantages and disadvantages of it against the y model, but I would be happy for an in-depth head-to-head comparison, maybe even a separate video that only talks about the product against its competition, because in the end that is the thing that most affects The choice of which vehicle to purchase.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Chinese Owners are si much enjoy that and Nio fellows are full supporting that. which makes an loyal inner circle for the Nio life's.😊 but first thing comes first. your city needs a basic quantity of Nio user somewhere arounds 500 owner I assume.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thanks for sharing. I guess it also cooks down to culture and living patterns..big parts of Europe don't have that usage pattern. Maybe it will change with enough users. Future will tell 🙂

Also you mentioned the screen is not designed for movies...exactly...NIO GLASSES are design for movies. I don't know if they are available outside China but in China you can sit in the back seat on a road trip wearing a pair of NIO GLASSES that are some kind of VR emergence that gives your eyes its own cinema screen.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Haven't seen them in Europe yet. Don't you get nauseous riding in the back with VR glasses?

[@tani123]

I have nausea in general when I watch movies while traveling. But since the seats are comfortable, it is also possible to do movie night even when not traveling.

Good that you pointed that out. What your thoughts about it?

[@dennista42069]

@@ItsOnlyElectric I already was in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt. There were some people that met or did some work/studying. Even if you don't own a NIO you can hang out there. It is definitely worth a visit while in town or if they have an event like some evening music. I like the idea to be able to go somewhere to hang out weather it is planned or not. I wouldn't overdo it but from time to time it is a nice addition.

[@RowanJohn1000]

Whats the price tho?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Price explained in the second half of the video. Starts at 539k SEK or 54k Euro. Without battery

I can’t wait for NIO to fit he latest CATL battery to their cars that can rapid charge over 600kw.

That would be dope!!

[@tani123]

It will only be for those who choose to give up battery swap.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

What capacity will it be and are there any communicated release of it at nio? Are we talking about CATL semi solid state 150kWg pack?

[@davenobody407]

@@ItsOnlyElectric Not sure if you’re aware but NIO announced in Dec last year that they’re upgrading/introducing the latest charging station to new ultra fast charging output with 500kW maximum power at 650A current. Similarly other EV brands such as Li Auto, GAC, Geely are also rolling out their own ultra fast charging points in China. Since March 2023 there are already 600kw changing points being built near Shenzhen. All indications point to the latest CATL Shenxing (LFP) battery is capable of delivering 400 km of driving range with a 10-minute charge, which will be fitted to NIO and a number of other EV makers. Although there are no further details about the CATL Shenxing battery. I think we just need to wait few more months or 1-2 yrs for Sweden. Lol.

[@davenobody407]

@@tani123 Battery swapping is still a good ideal for ppl whose NIO cars are on old battery but wish to swap the newer ones, which can be appealing for some consumers. Although from a production cost point of view the possibility of battery swapping will potentially cost NIO cars much more than the competitors i.e. Tesla.

Check out the financials and share price of the company

What's your analysis of the share and the company? A stock price is not the same as the actual company and does not always correlate.

[@pralaysa]

Question is if the company will survive. Not that you are left with a 100k computer with no software support

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Nio seems to address this by cutting costs and making the company more efficient. Rumors say that a fighting sub brand in the shape of more affordable EVs is under the making, for selling higher volumes. Not sure when or on what markets. Heard anything about it?

[@honesty_-no9he]

Set the speed to at least 180kmph on the Autobahn.

The Chinese EV maker Nio has hired ​@@ItsOnlyElectric

[@cryptomoon9932]

The Chinese EV maker Nio has hired senior designers from Jaguar Land Rover and Volkswagen Group as it seeks to expand its product offerings and enter the European market. Joaquin Garcia becomes a senior design director at Nio's Munich design studio after almost six years at VW Group's Seat and another five at Skoda. Jaguar Land Rover's Alister Whelan has also been named a senior design director at the Munich studio after 21 years at the UK automaker. Both executives started their new positions Oct. 1 and report to Nio design director Kris Tomasson. Thats why Nio looks so good and Bavarian.

I don't agree on that. Haven't measured the cabin noise in the el6 as I did In the et5t but I'm pretty sure it's the opposite way.

[@mitchell_alexander]

Let's hope that the part of the Nio ecosystem that disappears is the f*cking beeping! I would buy this car yesterday if they make a quick setting to turn off all sounds. Isn't a visual warning on the instument cluster enough to satisfy the EU regulations?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Unfortunately visual warnings are mandatory in the eu regulation case. So other brands gas the same beefing. But would be good to be able to be able to permanently turn of nios other beeping functions in an easier way. Maybe possible to add a shortcut for that, didn't try that.

[@jeroen6390]

Interesting that only Chinese cars have these sounds. You are mentioning it is regulations related, but why do the others don’t have it?

The regulated sounds goes for all brands but it's new for 2024 models. The Asian beepings are for the general aid systems especially for distraction monitoring and land keeping assistance
