NIO ET5 - 5 WORST and 5 BEST things! Watch before you BUY

[@XY-nc7nc]

I received mine for around 20 days, ate over 2000km so far. The proportion with clear and integrity surface make the car such a beauty on the road. As a designer, I really hate useless lines on the surfaces especially on the side panels like doors. It is a pleasure to drive this car. Battery swap and the NOP+ makes long ride so much easier. In the same time, I hate the limitation of reorganize the screen of apps. You can’t change the order of how the apps laying out on the screen by press and drag, you also can’t change it by install the apps with particular order. Its no matter which app you install first, it goes to “the” position which ruining the concept of “smart” car. You can not uninstall 3rd party apps, I’m not sure that is the same case in EU. All the best for NIO’s EU expansion.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Congratulations to a mighty fine car!

[@AndreaDeBernardi]

such envy! got the same problem with subwoofer?

[@alexocaber]

Congrats on the car, updates could address these topics.

[@robertolampedecchia5230]

Fantastic car and great video with excellent expertise, greetings from Italy!

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thank you very much! 🙂

[@Jogibaer_universe]

Thank you very much for the great video and your honest opinion. ☺ Can't wait to get a charging port in our underground garage, already waiting for a couple of years. When it is there, hopefully this year, I'm going to buy a Nio. However, I still haven't decided if it's going to be the Sedan or the Shooting break of the ET5. 😅

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

No problem! This is what I do. 👍Thank you for watching!

[@ciybersal9833]

I love Nio! They need to bring the estate the Europe soon!

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, coming after the Summer.

[@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726]

Nio would not exist any more without the Chinese Communist Party. Is that what you love about it?

[@theolich4384]

I hope they get to ease the limited rear headroom a bit with the wagon.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, I hope that too.

[@Thethirdshed]

A great review, offering information with its boundary. As member of the UAB in Germany, I cant wait to drive it this coming Saturday. I had the chance to test drive it in China early this year, agree on the point that this car is a perfect combination of comfort and sporty.

[@RM-sd5yw]

Now, I want to see a video titled “I just bought the NIO ET5 “ 😂

[@charlesd9949]

The NIO ET5 is a beauty, Sun-burst yellow is so eye-catching! $NIO

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes it is!

[@niosanfrancisco]

All good my friend. GO NIO !

[@AndreaDeBernardi]

Nio SF! always present! :)

[@rededwards3479]

You forgot to include that you can give NOMI a different name so you can surprise passengers or family by naming NOMI their names. Makes it more fun. Imagine your wife mad at you and you gave NOMI her name..... hahhaaha ..she would have to laugh after you asked "NOMI"(your wife) to tell a joke.....or if she is talking too much and you tell "NOMI"(your wife) to "SHUT UP"

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Haha..what a great idea to name Nomi after your wife!!! Would be hilarious 🤣😹

[@onetwothreefour-s1n]

😂😆

[@Poofi3_841]

Wow the if, then, else trigger function is indeed a very nice one!

[@miroslavhavlas1443]

I can imagine setting the automation to close the windows automatically if you drive the car faster than 90km/h for example - very nice function. Great review thank you :)

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, thats a good idea.

[@nigelbrown2274]

Thanks for an interesting and honest review. I also think this is the best looking car in it's segment!

[@rabbitazteca23]

the scheduler feature is brilliant!

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, one of the best features I have seen in a car!

[@watatoi1515]

One thing, if you get the car to your personal profile the drive mode will certain keep your last settings. All settings. I guess you’re using a guest mode. Otherwise the car must be not have the correct software.⚡️🔋🏁

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, that may be the case. I hope it is.

[@onetwothreefour-s1n]

Another great video, thank you

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thank you for watching!

[@jonbalea7614]

You need to have an account within the car to save all your settings regarding drive mode and so on.

[@tonypaca3015]

wow that if function is something else. have you tried ask nomi to see if he can activate it? or only work manually? we are still waiting for the cabin noise video comparing with the model 3. maybe a whole video of nio et5 vs model 3 that would be a first in the english language. great video

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Did not try Nomi to activate the actions. Noise and acceleration video coming. 🙂

[@AndreaDeBernardi]

that would be something, program and launch with NOMI

[@peterhuang3376]

Bjørn Nyland did test the cabin noise. I hope that is what you want. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6jKq6tnprOCoJo

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Me too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ7Mc2aofsx8otk

[@vognmandpedersen8144]

Is there a curtain for the panoramic roof? Is there a outside sensor for opening the trunk?

[@Checkb28]

No curtain (like Te*la :) and yes trunk has a kick sensor.

[@BartikkCZ]

Got mine recently. 1) Armrest: Got used to it after a few weeks, it might be personall issue. I love the back window how small it is, in other cars i have issues with cars behind me to shine specially during night to mirrors and car, not having issues here ofc and dont have problems to use side mirrors. 2) Soundsystem: Bass is great thanks to subwoofer in back and the car shakes like crazy when playing on max sound, the quality is ok for me, but i care about bass as dnb fun for classic people it might have some quality issues. 3) Have same issue, but waiting for my personal account to be made in germany, as comments say it is not issue with personal account, but as a new profile it still resets. 4) Headroom: Dont really care as i am driver

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Congratulations to a fine car and thanks for sharing. Have you recieved the latest Banyan update (2.x.x)? Self driving is a lot more stable in the new version. Regarding the Sub, NIO comfirmed it as a software issue back then.

[@TechFlexx]

Beautiful car, holy crap

[@rune54321]

Beautiful car! Yellow is my least favorite color though :)

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

I would also choose another color. The blue looks great;

[@jansenwilder1335]

Hi. Would u pick the Et5/7 over the new 2023 Byd Han among these 3 sedans ?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes.

[@stefanjeppsson89]

In the swedish cold weather it would very intetesting to know if the heatpump is efficient enough.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, this was mild winter conditions. I'm testing cars during winter too. Maybe a Nio will slip in to some tests. 😉

[@TorbjrnGjesteland-to4qw]

The sound is wery good on some music. But it falls on some with deep base. Do you think it is,a software issue.

[@Checkb28]

The subwoofer issue is known at NIO. It has something to do with the Dolby Atmos certification (to my knowledge). There were several complaints about it in the last Tech Talk and there will be a software fix eventually.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Good to know!

[@randomname931]

The ifttt feature sounds interesting.what practical uses are there?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Hard to tell but I think it will be useful.

[@danekone]

Bra video Självklart blir det en prenumeration :)

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Tackar! Kul att du gillade videon. 👍

[@mosestekper7659]

Smart action feature is really nice.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes

[@MarkoSutic-gc3hs]

This is best product in the world right now. Best looking, price only 43.000 EUR for premium sedan and swap technology give you new battery next 20 years. if you want to use it that long

[@rickwookie]

Can't you use the automation to select your preferred drive mode on every startup?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Don't know. But found out that it may be caused of a locked profile, since it was a press car.

[@rickwookie]

@@ItsOnlyElectric Ah, ok makes sense.

[@mllanest]

Maybe you could automate the drive mode with the IFTT app

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, that's a good idea.

[@NiejakiDD]

Great review, disclosing interesting details. I amazed by China's rate of innovation and advancement in EV automotive, particularly in battery technologies and car onboard systems. I also appreciate the fact that Chinese EV cars' interior is usually decent or rich, contrary to cheap interior in expensive Tesla cars. 🤷‍♂

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thank you. I'm very impressed by Nios lineup. Great cars

[@g.4588]

i love NIO!

[@Laser-Star____]

More et5 vids wanted😊

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

🙂 I have made a couple, 4 I think. Have you watched them all already?

[@Laser-Star____]

@@ItsOnlyElectric yes think all. Ps swop station in Varberg Nord?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Haven't tried swop station in Varberg yet. Next time I will. 🙂

[@Laser-Star____]

@@ItsOnlyElectric swop vid Varberg wished. Great vids! Very helpful. Also wanted: 100 kwh / 150 kwh range test, also on E6 long haul high speed 🔥👍☕

[@Laser-Star____]

100 --- the 150kwh battery is insane 🔥 if it gets here ❤️ test long haul wanted

[@JohanvandenSephendent]

What a professional analysis, nice. Recently, I've been looking at the ET5T, a travel version of the ET5 with a much improved trunk volume, but I've yet to visit a shop to see the actual car. I wondered if I could recline the back seat and then raise the trunk to make it flat and travel as a bed car.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Love the ET5T. Did a detailed review of it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp_GlXaZd9GHorc And thanks by the way. Glad you liked it!

[@JohanvandenSephendent]

Great! Thanks!!!@@ItsOnlyElectric

[@thomaseriksson3182]

Tack!👍

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Tack själv

[@AndreaDeBernardi]

the cons are not that bad/easy fixable and that's fine as long as core aspect are good! I see lot complain of car reviewer about software, but they never mention the app drawer and the custom actions. How is noise level? Et7 is the quietest car by far but et5 has single glass, judging by the audio is stil very good right? could not hear cars surpassing. Also VERY glad to see Assisted driving is good.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Noise and acceleration test video coming soon. ,🙂

[@thomaseriksson3182]

Nio ET5 Touring eller Xpeng G9?... vilken skulle du välja?..🤔

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Väldigt olika bilar. G9 är väldigt stor. Behöver du volym, G9. Sportighet Et5.

[@vassepolinson8297]

This nio is something else good car 👍

[@_MANASYt]

Test-drove it yesterday. Comfort and technology is amazing BUT! The ride leaves a lot to be desired... You can feel every bump on the road and you do get a bit dizzy after riding in it...for example the ZEEKR 007 was a better ride. I'm in China and I'm spoiled for EV choice but I think for now I stick with petrol. Will go try the new Ford Mondeo today, looks amazing! Have also tried and shortlisted the BMW X2 and Audi Q3. Huge discounts now, in December.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

It's tuned to the sportier side, hard to compare with 007. Then you should try the ET7.

[@srinivasvoruganti4736]

Glad most bad things are small and can be fixed with software and better quality parts.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, a great package

[@99946tv]

The best electric brand , amazing Nio !!!

[@niosource]

NIO said that the subwoofer problem can be solved and has been solved for some via a software update :)

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yrs, heard that too! That's awesome 👍

[@QK..]

You need to buy et7 for your size. 😂

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, you are totally right. Or maybe the EC7, that looks very promising!

[@1nnu3ndo]

NIO's are beautifully designed cars. I'd consider them for my next car but I can't get past the bumps above the front window. They break the lines of the car and feel like they should say 'Taxi' like the London black cabs of the past 70 years.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Haha...the bumps are a bit awkward. But I got used to them and when you think of the capability they provides you'll accept them. 🙂

[@amsultan1979]

Very nice car indeed

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes it is

[@JIMMY-nz1ld]

This is one of my EV cars.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Nice! Happy with it?

[@zokoravonysenlohe1823]

I mean, aren’t the downsides rather minor? You can still live quite well with these flaws. I the software were to be faulty or it would drive horribly that would be a dealbreaker. Plus one of the faults, namely the limited headspace on the rear seats, can be easily avoided by choosing the estate version. Luckily the estate version looks as good as the normal sedan.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes minor downsides and no deal breakers.

[@anvoong2510]

Rarely people listen to very loud music in the car now a days. If they like to I would think that they would upgrade the subwoofer themselves. If you didn’t buy the car then maybe you didn’t setup your own profile in the infotainment to allow it to save your personalized settings.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

This happens at 70% of max volume so not extremely high volume. Even if the sub is to small it should not distort. It should limit the output to the woofer.

[@anvoong2510]

@@ItsOnlyElectric if you still don’t hear too much bass at 70% volume but it rattles then the sub is weak. NIO needs to up it one level.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

This is not only a rattle it distord to the fact that it slams and gets out of control.

[@anvoong2510]

@@ItsOnlyElectric In that case it’s likely a damaged sub. I have seen that before.

[@Checkb28]

NIO knows about the subwoofer problem. It seems to be a software issue and has something to do with the Dolby Atmos certification. There have been several complaints about it.

[@ChristianDHeer]

No onr nedds drivemods :o)

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Drive modes really makes a big difference if you like to drive and want to vary your drive style. It's not a show stoppers but really a experience enhancer.

[@TradingGeniuz]

BMW also reset drive to comfort mode each time you leave your car 😂
