Thats a proof that bigger battery doesn't meant more range. Efficiency is key. They could work more on that and reduce the battery size to make it more affordable

[@tesla-spectre]

Yepp. I aveaged now 161 Wh/km over 40,000km in my Model 3 LR (new video on degradation etc coming soon) and only have about 3% degradation despite 70% highway share due to long distance business trips.

I bought it in April. This car is really amazing. You can’t compare it with Tesla model 3. The quality is much better. I have 20” on Pirelli P Zero, it can run 500rm in eco and 400 in sport without problem. Battery swap stations are everywhere (I’m in south of China) It’s more like BMW 5th series (I compared with 530i and I thought to buy it, but BMW sounds cheap feels cheap and it’s too slow for this money.

8:39 65km rangew with 11kWh consumption means 17 kwh / 100km Excelent , overall 233,9km range with 54,8kWh at average speed 115km/h is not great but not a bad result ( 23.4kWh /100km )

[@antoniocirino8444]

the use of summer tyres could effect positively on the consumption. Between tesla model 3 and et5 test the conditions are not the same, 10 degrees lower and winter tyres could bring over 10% of over consumption. and these 245 tyres are very huge compared the 235 of the model 3.

[@alexandruilea915]

What? Huge at one cm difference? Gas powered SUVs with 345-355 mm width say hello lol. I'm not comparing them just saying that a 2 cm per axel shouldn't matter that much.

[@Scrap-press]

​@@alexandruilea915 Can confirm engineering explained did a video on this topic and width basically has very little influence. Apart from that M3 even with winter tires is still much more efficient

[@dblhelx]

Good luck upgrading or eventually replacing the battery on ANY other car except a NIO. Not to mention the flexibility to change your battery size on a whim depending on daily needs. Wanna reduce the cost of purchase of a NIO? Buy it without the battery and lease it whichever pack you want on a monthly basis and never worry about degradation. All while still being able to charge at home kr any station and a bonus NIO will come to you in a jam and give you a charge for free with their mobile service.

[@xxxyoung1941]

For those who like to make comparisons: the weight of the car is by far the biggest factor affecting range/efficiency. Yet all the safety and comfort features add weight. You need to keep this in mind when making comparisons.

[@Zedus-rl9hp]

Quite a nice car, but the ability to swap doesn't really bring me any advantages - of course it depends a lot on personal driving profile and charging infrastructure. However, the lower charging capacity compared to the competition is more a disadvantage for me - C-Rate 1,3 isn't much, the price is too high.

The car is really good looking. Feels very premium. But my feeling is, it’s a gamble if NIO will make in Europe. At the moment I would only do a long term rent, I wouldn’t buy it.

[@OutsideGamer99]

The battery swapping thing, imo, is against what an ev sort of stands for. (Environment friendlier then IC Cars, use less energy to Drive Dame Distance, etc.) What i mean, more resources needed for each car, because there is not only one battery with each car, but many of them in each swapping Station. Furthermore, the batteries are, at the Moment, exklusive to a hand Full of cars from Nio. I hope that the Broad industry stays with charging instead of swapping.

I have driven over 200000 miles on 3 different electric cars since 2015. Since 2018 I have gone 100% electric cars at home. I have realised that in all that time couple of things are crucial. Battery swap is the single most important factor if you want to buy a car. If you want to only lease for 3 years maybe not so important.

[@Roman-re1yg]

Battery swap has many, many upsides that most people don't think about. Not just about replenishing the battery. Every NIO car will have the newest battery technology years down the road because they can always swap for a brand new battery within minutes. If you want the newest battery technology with any other manufacturer you have to buy a new car. That's just one of many advantages.

[@nielsvandenkieboom5034]

I have experienced battery swap in the Netherlands. It was such a crappy experience that I sold my NIO shares. 😂

[@bokoler9107]

I am always dreaming Bjorn, but let us be realistic, I have choosen the 64kwh equals 600km not out of the blue. This is the magic range which does not make any comfort difference towards a fossil fuel car. I place my bet, Porsche will have such a car ready by end of 2024, the fun factor will surely reduce the range but,, 64kwh will reach 600km.

I’m willing to give up some efficiency for some more noise reduction and dampening on my m3lr. For a daily driver with a great sound system, the highway discomfort negated a lot of goodness in the car. It’s significantly noisier above 70mph, from tire noises, suspension (hearing every cracks and grooves), wind around the A pillars and back windows… Why only have the fronts windows double layered? Why not just framed all windows? I am even considering aftermarket foam panels in doors, sound deadening in wheel wells, and extra seals around doors. How much would they add? 50? 75lbs? Can’t wait till the luxury brands (looking at you Lexus) getting their techs up to Tesla level so I can get different daily. Oh, and would it killed them to add a button or two, like for unlocking the doors without preprogramming or fiddling with voice commands?! Musk is tooling around in his Plaid.
