February publication but never heard of it, I was impressed by this video. Few points: 1. Battery swap stations. 2. Very short combined braking distance. 2. Comfort. 3. Redundant controls. 4. Little robot assistant with movement and facial expressions Tons of perks, Nio in February held several autonomous driving records with their hypercar.
The Nio House experience is interesting, the guy handmade a keyfob from leather, baked, all while charging. They will take your car and store it, then pick you up at airport for free, they will take your car to charge from work, WTF? Elon should watch this, please put customer before greed! Some more worrisome news, how long before the smiley robot starts reporting to the State Security Ministry: Nio’s future depends more on the Chinese government than ever
I'm pretty surprised that this isn't a bigger topic. Seems like the company is doing really well - I believe they are selling about 5,000 total cars a month
