[@jashshukla701]

Is it really a mainstream brand from Nio?! I mean 900V architecture, thinner cells, an LFP pack with reasonably fast charging times is something one would associate with more premium BEVs. This makes up for what the Tesla falls short on- a more plush cabin: I noticed the front passenger seat with a footrest, lounge mode to relax while your car charges, reclining rear seats, and most importantly a better ride. While Model Y's software and performance will reign supreme, but as an everyday car, it's a better rounded BEV which is where the Onvo begins to make a lot of sense. Let alone the Model Y, why would you spend more for an equivalent Nio?! The exterior design is pleasing to the eye, given it's a new brand from Nio. How are the panel gaps on the outside? It seemed to be a very well finished car from the video. Nio's battery swapping is faster than filling up a tank at 2.5 minutes. What is your take on battery swapping vs. charging in the ownership experience? Have customers been able to find the right packs and with enough juice at swapping stations? How about a video on your swapping experience overall? Lastly, are the cells prismatic? As always, continue the great work. A very happy subscriber!

[@ChinaDriven]

We only have rumours that the 60kWh are BYD cells, so they would be blade batteries, since thats all that BYD's battery division make. In terms of swapping, I never really had a problem. I have heard from other owners of queues and waiting, or batteries unavailable at rush hour/very busy places in Shanghai. But the newer generation swap station hold more batteries. We'll have to see how it affect things when the stations are holding another two types/size of batteries.

Switzerland is rich because they were always 'neutral' during critical times, while benefitting from the wars fought out around them. Aiding nazi's, selling weapons of war, while claiming to be neutral and anti war is beyond hypocritical. The arrogance your comments exude are exactly what you would expect from a Swiss a-hole, that wants to profit from the EU by joining it -partly-, while also refusing to actually join, coöperate on an equal level or participate, only what the Swiss benefits from is what they are about. If you stand by evil and do nothing, you are part of the problem, that's how the Swiss got rich, so it's a lot worse than standing by, you're a nation of genocide enablers, your arrogance is shit, leave the EU please, we don't need douches like you.

[@ChinaDriven]

The auto deploying tow bar on the NIO SUVs is an optional extra. We don't have any information on that yet. Have to wait for the launch next week. You could always just fix a universal tow bar I guess... There is no spare tire in the ONVO.

[@waynerm002]

I like the look of this car, it’s like the Polestar 4 in how they push the roof area back to give you headroom in a coupe style SUV. Looks more like a sedan but, has a hatch. It would be nice if they make it with adaptive suspension, so you can have some fun with it. The power output is nice but, no I do on torque yet, with 0-100 of 4.7 seconds, it’s powerful enough to have fun with. I would like it with a bit more range though, would need a bigger battery as well, would make a good fit with some 20” wheels/tires. Love the video.

[@ChinaDriven]

You forgetting that the ET9 is supposedly going to add a 120kWh thin pack as well. I don't think the 150kWh is a thin battery IIRC. So it can only fit into NIO NT1 & NT2 cars. So far for me battery swapping has been nothing but a fantastic experience. But as more cars able to swap at the stations come on the market, first ONVO, later other OEMs...I worry if there will be longer queue times. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

[@ChinaDriven]

no far from the first Chinese EV with 800V system. I think it’s the first using 900V. but that’s not really much to shout about compared to when others jumped from 400 to 800V, that was a huge deal. wait is Lotus 900V?

Yes its coming after ET9 flagship launches on the NT3

[@Francis-of8cw]

​​​​@@ChinaDriven I know. All I mean is if you buy a Nio right now, you are paying more and getting less than an Onvo. I'm curious what changes they will make when they go to NT3 and how they will distinguish themselves as 'Premium'. As Onvo as of right now is 90% the build quality and 90% the performance of Nio. Nio has to make a big step to be worth the upgrade i.m.o. Also, something you didn't mention in the video: The main reason (I think) Onvo took such a big leap in energy-efficiency is they changed their heat pump system to something similar Tesla uses like the "super manifold" and "octo-valve". Most electric cars have standardized heat-pump systems that are inefficient. I'm no expert but apparently the heat from the batteries, motor can be used to heat the interior and vice-versa, also works for cooling. All systems are connected in such a way that there's almost no energy-loss. There are videos of engineers / mechanics explaining how it exactly works.

Can you explain the high sales numbers of the Model 3/Y when Chinese OEM"s are coming out with better and cheaper options? Im sure most Chinese consumers are very educated buyers that are smart with their money so I'm confused about Tesla's appeal in China.

[@ChinaDriven]

Obviously Tesla are popular worldwide. They are very good EVs. If you think how thier charging and range for example is still holding up after all these years. But I feel in China there are many who still buy or have bought Tesla's because of badge prestige. It obviously has a reputation as a top foreign EV maker. I'd argue there are better products on the market, but Tesla has the higher badge prestige.

[@barygol]

Onvo comsumption is CLTC..you can add 30% to get the real consumption

[@ChinaDriven]

Why is everyone caught up on this. LOL It's a standardised test. So take EV A's CLTC and compared it to EV B's CLTC. CLTC is a standard made for chinese driving. More weight for urban roads and city ring roads, less weight for highway cruising. As this is more inline with daily driving habits in China. Chinese EVs do not all have WLTP or EPA ratings. But yes, if you drive a mix of fast and and slow roads you will see something between 70-80% of the total CLTC generally. But you'd also see 70-80% of Tesla's CLTC range as well. www.linkedin.com/pulse/epawltpcltc-craig-chen--9ypcc

As for cameras these cars all have equal or higher level of cameras. Typical all 8MP for ADAS. There are cheap chinese EVs, there are expensive Chinese EVs. There are trucks, wagons, supercars, coupes, sedans, SUVs, full on off-roading EVs. There is something for everyone at every price point. That is why China is way ahead in EV adoption.

Way to go nio being a shameless copycat to tesla&the world leading model Y here 55 months after it launched globally! And has already accumulated nearly 4,000,000 model Y sold globally. So it has 3-7 more kwhs in pack capacity, and 800+v architecture yet manages to be less than 3% more efficient. And we know from you Chinese fanboys that none of their evs even meet the generous cltc ranges. 🤣 This will be the same as all the other lame stream media tesla killers=doa. Ah what fond memories those are. The juniper update model Y will crush this dead, then the tesla compact cuv coming late 2025 will cut it's head off! 👍🏻

I mention CLTC as it's a standard. And Tesla has a CLTC range has well. It's a test that is designed for Chinese driving scenarios so has more weight to urban roads and city ring roads as opposed to highway cruising. Tesla still leads the market in sales, which is why it is used as a benchmark. No car company benchmarks a weaker competitor, what good would that be? Tesla still holds a lot of brand cache in China. But I would like to see them move a bit quicker, start FSD beta testing in China. It would also be nice to see what Tesla could do with an 800+V architecture, as most would agree their BMS is probably still the best out there.

Man, you are so unhappy being a fanboy. It's gonna be tough with Elon turning out to be such a terrible person. Good for you for doubling down on your cult worship and not bothering to think for yourself any longer. That's commitment.

[@PenkoAngelov]

Why DID I buy a Tesla? Simply, because it's a superior vehicle! - Safest car in the world. - Best performance. - Best customer retention. - Better value retention. - Much, much, MUCH better software. - Quieter and more comfortable. - More space. - More range (real world range... not the CN marketing shenanigans). - The most advanced self-driving technology in any vehicle. - No LieDAR BS. - Better quality and aftermarket support. ... - Not a Chinese knockoff.

[@ChinaDriven]

Many of these were true before. But in China...

[@onetwothreefour-s1n]

How's the cult life working out for you? Seeing the length of hysterics you just typed it looks like you are in deep. Best wishes, hopefully you can get your life back someday.

[@marcusfleuti2672]

Your comment is outdated now. Tesla is hereby being put in 2nd place. Tesla Software isn't better than NIOs and the lack of all sensors is making all Tesla vehicles inferior compared to NIO and Onvo.

[@PenkoAngelov]

@@marcusfleuti2672 What you're stating is COMPLETELY wrong... Looks like you've never seen or driven any of those vehicles.

[@PenkoAngelov]

@reginald7214 Cult? This is getting quite boring already... Why does stating the facts always considered "a cult" or "fanboyism" when it doesn't align with your views/delusions?

[@corneluscedric2690]

It’s a copycat of a Tesla model y. 🙊🙊🙊

[@ChinaDriven]

Isn't it always hahaha

[@timmos184]

Comparing real world numbers for Tesla to the stated numbers for Nio... That's downright bullshit.

[@ChinaDriven]

Both NIO and Tesla numbers are from the CLTC. All EV models sold in China need to take the same standardised test.

[@ChinaDriven]

You talking about the UI homepage looking similar.

[@Parker--]

@@ChinaDriven the whole thing

[@ChinaDriven]

Just the Home screen laid out similar to Tesla. The rest is similar to NIOs

[@younged510]

Inside is tesla.. lol

[@ChinaDriven]

I mean apart from the central screen (which many EVs have, I mean where else would you put it lol) and the rear screen location, the comparison kind of stops there. I guess you can argue it has its steering wheel in the same place as a Tesla. Damn copycats. But in reality, the materials feel much nicer, the central storage design is not the same, the dash is three tiered, compared to the MY two tiered, there's "metal look" accenting all around. The Ambient lighting is far better then the new model 3 highland (I expect the Juniper to be similar) I mean how different can you make a minimalist interior?

[@younged510]

@@ChinaDriven it's a copycat tesla.. even has the glass roof.. look at the inside of a Tesla then look at the inside of Ionic 5 or 6 or Mach e.. very different from each other.. this looks like a Tesla to me especially the interior..

[@ChinaDriven]

I’m going to assume you are in a market where there are limited EVs on sale. There must be 100 EVs with glass roofs in China. from SUVs to sedans. There is no doubt this is inspired by the minimalist layout in a Tesla. but if you really look at both of them you’ll see there are differences. There are other EVs with wildly different stylings. There are EVs with similar stylings. the MachE sells very poorly in China. Its interior is not appealing to the market. And the Koreans have still not fully entered their EVs. So while I’ll agree there is some inspiration from the Model Y I don’t think it’s a straight copy. I think it proves that at this lower price segment this minimalist interior layout is popular.

[@younged510]

@ChinaDriven you say inspired minimal design by Tesla I say it looks like copycat model 3 highland which they beat out tesla juniper release.. it looks the same interior wise. Exterior I am not gonna lie on the side kind of looks like Y. It's a few tweaks but your not fooling me it's a similar model y..

[@ChinaDriven]

What part of the interiors look the same to you? They both have a single screen mounted in the middle? I think ONVO not having an instrument panel, rather using a HUD can make them seem similar. So in that respect yes, it is like a tesla M3/MY interior. But the difference in my eyes is the tesla interior on the highland and MY is very blocky and contrasting between black and white on the two tone. Straight lines. The Onvo follows NIO's styling more rounded soft edges with a more blended flow of the two tone. The example you gave of "different interiors" namely the ioniq 5/6 and mach E both have exteriors that look like they belong in ICE cars. As for the exterior styling, aero drag is going to play a big part in what you can do bodywise if you are trying to eek as much low drag as possible. It's going to have a coupish side profile, a small front section. But the interior space inside the ONVO L60 is massive compared to a MY. It's staggeringly different. You can see other low drag mid-sized cross-over EVs, IM LS6, Xpeng G6. While many OEMs have to stick to some sense of brand "styling" like Audi, BMW etc, NIO get to start from scratch, and we can guess that the shape of the Model Y & ONVO L60 is just going to be the best shape for that low drag.

[@honesty_-no9he]

You always ruin a review when talking about watching movies in a car....that is so dumb and uncultured. Please just stick to the car stuff. I would prefer a smaller main screen and a driver's binnacle.

[@ChinaDriven]

Some people like to do that. Personally I don't watch movies in the car.

[@path2049]

copycat

[@ChinaDriven]

i'd say there's some inspiration, but there's a lot that is different to the Model Y.

[@zenden9]

@@path2049 yes, especially the interior looks very similar to Tesla. But external wise, it's in a league of its own.

[@ChinaDriven]

I mean....other than it having a single large screen It really doesn't look like a tesla model Y inside. Much more design elements going on. There's also a higher level of materials.

[@path2049]

@@ChinaDriven btw, any FSD?

[@ChinaDriven]

ONVO? yeah. I talked about it at the end of the driving section. It will have "OSD" City and highway. It's camera and 4D milliwave rader based, using data collected from NIO for it's NIO NOP+ city and highway.
