Bjørn.... You make the most personal, geeky accurate and surprisingly fun car review videos. Although I have already bought an EV a while back and I will probably ride that for 10+ years I still find myself coming back to watch your reviews due to all the qualities you put into them. Thank you for your effort, time and for being you.

[@davidlim6825]

“Otherwise what?!? You’ll tell your mommy, huh?!?” @5:19 in the video is the best 🤣

[@MrVeeBlog]

Loved this one too. None of the salesman style puffery a lot of other videos are doing while claiming to be delivering an honest opinion. Well done. Keep em coming.

[@yaCiyaCi]

24:47 Not sure if this is a weakness or strength. If you buy the battery you are responsible of the degradation. With battery swop its just your problem until next swop.

[@patriksteinlechner4862]

Finally I found my favorite EV KZbinr. Greetings from Austria

[@ippem]

Bjorn rocks. Greetings from Austria as well! :)

Ding dong, the plane landed.

[@ani_b]

Bjørn needs to share a Spotify playlist with his tracks, sounds like great driving music 👍

[@imwsss726]

Considering the temperature, I think the consumption is actually good. I have seen some ET5 reviews from 🇨🇳, that car is smaller and lighter but the consumption is similar to ET7 for the time being, because the ET5 has a different powertrain. Excited to see that car for European reviews.

[@dieterr.799]

Thanks Björn for this video! As always very good information and very entertaining!! MY 2 cents (dealbreakers) for NIO and most Chineese cars in these days: 1. The software ... buggy and not adapted to European habbits (except for Polestar) 2. Nomi is a pain in the a** - total nonsense IMHO 3. Permanent "ding-dong" for almost anthing .. unaccaptable 4. These peeking out camera bulgs are ugly ... All these pain-points are also in the video very well pointed out! But China is leader in battery tech, and that will not change any time soon.

[@kiwijonowilson]

Once I noticed the accelerating / decelerating thing it would absolutely drive me nuts! Can't be good for efficiency also. One thing I'm curious about regarding battery swapping - after a few years and some battery degradation, could you then sign up for battery swap and get a newer one (or is that handled with terms and conditions somehow)?

[@randomdriver]

I just noticed that the Nio does not have any mudflaps. I bet it will rust in couple of years at the bottom of front doors since salt and small rocks will hit the side of the car.

[@Tomaskom]

That power output oscillation on cruise control is just funny for a car of it's class. Like they couldn't properly tune a simple PID control loop... 🤦

[@celeron55]

The behavior doesn't even look like a PID control loop. It seems like some sort of if-else implementation. Or maybe it's PID but some variable has too little resolution? Difficult to tell. Anyway, I agree something is clearly wrong.

[@patrickfitzpatrick1600]

Autogefühl had same problem with NOMI. He managed to turn it off. Also crossing China guy showed how to do it quite easily so I think you should do it and retest!!

[@bjornnyland]

I already showed in the video that it can be turned off. You skipped too much?

[@patrickfitzpatrick1600]

@Bjørn Nyland great...glad u got to experience it without NOMI...Do you think it will do well in Europe once they have more developed infrastructure and possibly more European orientated software tweaks?? I hope you get to try the ET5 and EL7 soon!!

[@Apemania69]

to nio: let us disable ALL sounds or selected sounds ._.

[@user-hb8sq6ce9u]

The car should be silent when CEO is sitting on backseat and have a business call.

[@ghall05]

I wonder if the non-linear power delivery by the autopilot is affecting the range in any significant way? That yo-yoing is a deal breaker for me! Hopefully they fix it

[@IsaacGbornor_gv]

[@gregchristie2763]

Rubber band ... Hilariously entertaining 😂

[@aaronp5118]

If they survive 5 years from now I might consider. But right now, as cool as the car is, your also risk buying into a car company that having issues selling cars within its own domestic market in addition to cash flow problems. I've learned my lesson with Chinese stocks, all it takes is one little decimal place in the wrong spot in their accounting and the whole company goes belly-up.

[@ericvet8b]

6:38 yes, definitely can see it wobbling side to side..

[@hodgenhe]

Any plan to test Xpeng G9？

[@Jajalaatmaar]

Really looking forward to this one! But you can't even test drive it in Europe yet so I think it'll take a few months for Bjorn to get his hands on it.

[@tipoomaster]

"It's driving just like a typical Asian driver" WOOOOWWW lol!

[@JaapvdBosch]

Björn, do you check if the reported consumption is true? Seems like car brands can play with this number a bit to look a bit better compared to others. Do you measure total energy used after a run by charging up to the same level (100%) and noting the amount of kWh the charger delivers? In the end, this is what we pay.

[@phonehoppy]

Great design, but I really dislike the camera humps above the windscreen...

[@kongkierulff]

Nio is thinking different and in my opinion has some of the same quality's and fun thinking as tesla. Their system is very good and is getting better all the time. I am a fan and simply think it is a great car. Lot of power as well

[@karla6999]

In my opinion, it‘s rather an ICE Killer than a Tesla, EQS or any other BEV Killer. I bet you know, Björn and use these Headlines just as Clickbait😂. Thanks anyway, you are doing a great and valuable job! All the best to you and your Family!

[@pierredasilvadias2462]

Your yoyo on speed regulation is certainly a bad PID tuning !

If I'm not mistsken Bjorn, all the "voices" annoying information can be muted off very quickly using the screen. Another YT creator showed how the other day.

[@maejshbrail2233]

[@TrustedHealer58]

I thought so as well. As the protective on the instrument cluster is also still attached.

[@pmcbMadeInIreland]

Any recommendations for a car that isn’t loaded with bloatware in the form of excessive silly tech that isn’t actually needed, dreamt up by the marketeers and execs, adding huge costs to a car sticker price?

[@TrustedHealer58]

An analog car? Any car with a bit of electronics isn't really necessary. A century ago cars could also drive but didn't even come with indicators... Even a Tesla like @squick1842 mentioned is loaded with camera's and sensors witch you don't really need. A backup camera? Just look out of your window. Parking sensors? Just watch your surroundings and get to know how big your car is.

[@pmcbMadeInIreland]

@@TrustedHealer58 aye, the issue, as I see it anyway, also reaches a broader context, not only cars. My independent garage I take my Mazda to admitted that in a few years time they might pack it in as the tech in cars is getting to a stupid level where hugely expensive diagnostic equipment is needed to diagnose a car fault and then fix it. That is a sad situation. Dealers charge a kidney or two to fix even minor issues and quite often it is not diagnosed correctly at the first pass as the tech makes it so complicated to ID a fault. [A Mazda dealer quoted me £450 to fix my sat nav, insisting that a new chip was needed. I googled the issue and discovered that a simple fix corrected the issue which was well-known. I have a tyre pressure sensor that the dealer and independent tried to fix and couldn’t. Still not fixed to this day. And I cannot disconnect it as it is a so-called safety feature. Just a few examples of many tech-based issues]. And yes, even a Tesla is software heavy. Tech = buggy. Thank god seat belts aren’t software-based. An analogue car would be a dream. No dodgy electronics that fail and which can’t be fixed without hooking up to a computer. I’m tired of tech that exists for no reason at all other than to part people from their cash. And yea of course there is tech that actually is beneficial.

Nio hide some battery capacity under 0%, you can safely drive 20km. I think you mess up with Nomi, since most nio owners like nomi very much. The European version software still has long way to go.

[@bjornnyland]

Most EVs will hide some capacity below 0 %. Just look at my zero mile tests. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJKlpJV8o6aLjqc

[@lenuvian]

Any recommendations for an ev that doesn't bing at you or has any piano black or glossy screen or camera in your face?

[@TrustedHealer58]

@@squick1842 Newer Tesla models do include a camera that monitor the driver. Also when autopilot is engaged there are sounds/bings.

[@TrustedHealer58]

Probably something cheap or an older model. Newer cars get quite a lot of safety equipment for the 5 star ratings at crashtests. Even the Seat Mii Electric I'm driving dings when the lane assist gets upsets. It is posible to turn off the lane assist but everytime you turn on the car it's back on again. The VW e-Up before the facelift with the smaller battery doesn't have lane assist but city brake witch probably won't get activated that often I hope.

[@fuelbasti]

Bjorn, you should know better about Nio's batteries. If the performance is getting bad they will take it out. While you have to live with it with other brands.

[@bjornnyland]

And when will they take it out then? Obviously not if the battery loses 2 kWh capacity. I think *you* should know better. Other brands also has warranty on battery.

[@mrebholz]

NIO is nice - TESLA has the supercharger. PERIOD

[@EPicurux]

for me, battery swap would work only if I would own the car with a battery, and when swapped, the newly installed one has guaranteed minimum SOH (eventually tied to mileage of the car)

To be fair to the EQS it was on fat ass tires. Would have been fun to have seen at least one test with the 19" basic tires on that car but no the importers always insist on slapping on the biggest thing they can find.

[@bjornnyland]

EQS doesn't have heatpump so it's doomed to have high consumption in winter.

[@e94mli]

@@bjornnyland indeed it will, but 21" 265 tires doesn't help. And I don't think hardly anyone has tested it with basic tires, winter or summer, maybe a reason to borrow an EQS again. :D

Et7 seems to be a fail.. many different reviews about this car, some love it, some hate it.. There are rumors about an et7 facelift coming soon.. let’s see, a lot of things to do! 😔

[@Lucas-wp2ph]

They have the technical expertise when they are able to make a more quiet car than eqs that is faster and lighter for half the price. But then they cannot make a lane keep assist work even if they have cameras and lidar for several thousand euros. 😡Hope all this is fixed in the facelift.

[@yegorrussalev6614]

@@Lucas-wp2phWhere is it half of the price? it costs 91tEur in Germany. EQS 450+ starts with 109000, but with much bigger battery and without so huge bugs. I really do not know who would buy this car in Europe for this price, it is rediculuos. If they would bring some reliable small cars, like Huyndai did, they might be getting a chance to proof they can do nice cars. But just to bring so expensive and not competitive product into premium segment, where the decision mostly made based on image of the company, it is just a strategic fail. Nio can get their market share only by lowering priced by MUCH.

[@Lucas-wp2ph]

@@yegorrussalev6614 A similar equipped eqs that is as fast as this et7 is more than twice the money. And still has a noisier interior.😢And if the eqs is built the same way as the latest s-class then it is a big plastic POS.
