We gave this Tesla owner a Nio ET5 for a day and asked her whether she wanted to swap

At the same price range, similar in size and profile, the Tesla model 3 rear wheel drive model and the Nio ET5 compete for the same customers in China. Would a Tesla owner prefer the ET5 after the test drive?

The sales point for NIO is more than the nicety of the hardware, but also the maintenance experience, (plus a feel of community) once you become an owner. I think. Long term, if NIO keeps up with the good work, keep improving its model of operations, it has a good chance to wrestle customers from Tesla, especially when they get more mature.

Together, Tesla and BYD will replace Toyota and VW as the top two vehicle manufacturers globally within just 5 years time.

I wonder if this car&the byd seal will get tesla to finally update the m3 exterior appearance? 🤔 2017-2023 model years with basically the same exterior means it's getting a bit stale imo. A nice exterior refresh would go a long way imo to bringing model 3 sales back up. Would be a good time to also change over to using the castings and structural pack's. Maybe even adding the plaid c.f. wrapped motors to the performance m3&model y.

[@haveaseatplease]

The roll-out of the NIO battery swap stations in EU and the US will take time. In the meantime battery charging times (10-80%) remain important. How fast does the NIO ET5 charge from 10% SOC to 80% SOC?

[@revchina]

Hi it actually depends on the battery pack you choose not the car, for 70KW battery it takes 48 minutes from 0 to 80% the 100KW battery pack will take 1 hour.

[@haveaseatplease]

@@revchina Thank you for this important information. It seems that NIO charge times are (+/-) 2 times as long as the Tesla model 3 (LR or Performance) but also more than 2 times slower than the Korean competition (KIA EV6 and Hyundai IONIQ 5).

[@just4therecord]

Interior and exterior design wise, the Nio is polished, the Tesla not so. American cars are crude but I feel people who are not familiar with US made cars will think very highly of imported things especially from an American brand. Branding is very important to the Chinese. The Nio is a local car brand to them therefore not so desirable even though, imho, the Nio trumps the Tesla in every way. The Chinese are so lucky to have so many choices

[@SKY-lu6xl]

Not so, NIO's sales are not high because of the brand, but because it is expensive. In China, those who buy Model 3 are people who have little money.

[@michaelsaldivar4901]

The main problem I found is that you found the worst person to compare the ET5 and the model 3. You picked her as you said she is pretty. She picked the Model 3 over the ET5 because the front seats weren’t comfy enough in the ET5. She admitted that the computing power in the ET5 is faster, we’ll compare 144 TOPS to ET5 1016 TOPS. The seats aren’t “Comfy enough “, give me a break.

[@revchina]

Hi Michael, this isn't a comparison between the m3 and the et5. As the title suggests she is already a Tesla owner so of course she is biased and the et5 needs to be miles ahead to win her over. She mentioned a few other things as well like the suspension is softer on the m3 and she prefer the design of the m3 as it's more simplistic.

The host trying so hard to sell the NIO, covering up the poor regen/brake blend by saying its performance brakes - all good brakes should be progressive and smooth, carbon ceramics can be a bit "grabby" at low speed but the NIO uses steel rotors like the Tesla. Tesla has longer range, faster charging, more charging stations, is cheaper, is more efficient, is faster (although slightly slower to 60mph), has way more storage, is much lighter. Things like looks, comfort and software are subjective so i wont dive into those, but across those subjective categories I think its clear that neither car is dramatically superior to the other. So, whatever your opinion, its hardly shocking that the owner preferred the Tesla over the ET5 despite the sales pitch.

[@miketjoeng3857]

Actually why i have not purchased a Model 3 in 2021 was because their customer service sucks here in Germany. They are pushy and not serious in the trade in. Expect people to want their products regardless their service. No attempt to really sell and bragging about how many cars are being delivered out per months, yeah of course cause there is a run due to the gov subsidy. Then they raised their prices by 10k EUR and now announced that they are doing the people good to cover for the diff of subsidy cut by gvt between 2022 and 2023, which maybe sums up to 2k EUR. Of course you can do that having increased the prices by 10k EUR. So to me it is a no go, for what they offer, and well the only reason why I considered it in 2021 was their charging network and the promise that the prices are stable. I understand the energy crisis etc etc, but somehow their prices on the fast charging network exceeds the prices of other charging stations. A friend of mine avoids Tesla own charging stations cause the prices can vary up to 20 cents being higher on their own network than on the third parties where all the other manufacturers have to charge? As some of the comments pointed out Tesla was the pioneer and i also credit Elon Musk for his persistence and odd way. I guess you have to be excentric and a little bit crazy in order to realize such great things when the odds are against you. But still a customer remains a customer and no matter how good the product may be if the Sales person is not providing any good service and you end up in a call center with always a different person, maybe I am not ready for this sales channel. So out of principle and personal experience it is not going to be a tesla for a foreseeable future. I rather look at Nio, Polestar, KIA and Hyundai.... Especially Nio has been reflecting to me positively. From the ideation up to the product. I have driven the ET7 the only model available in Germany currently and it is a dream to drive. Yet, this is not a car for me, cause it is simply too big, it is a comfortable cruiser that you would rather take on a family trip from here to the south of France. But what i am looking at crispy fast daily driver that i can throw around the corner and also serve as a great car for my wife to do shopping. That is why i am looking at the ET5 and wait till the car comes here. Looking forward to that.......all this coming from a true petrol head who mostly driven german premium cars before........
