    Tesla will really need to drastically change thier technology, quality and interior if they want to compete in future.

    Someone said "easy pass", maybe now, and maybe because is made in China, but in 2-3 years we will see a lot of made in EU or US.

    Not worth considering until it is actually on sale. How long will that be?

    And service issues, spare parts issues, the list is massive but unfortunately all their wrong doings are being rewarded still.

    I have a lot of stock in NIO but they do not make their batteries, CATL supplies them along with supplying BMW, Damiler and Tesla with batteries. If CATL develops a solid state battery it will be sold to everyone.

    Model S is much better looking. Timeless.

    No.

    1. Range is overly inflated because they use the metrics known to be at least 30% high. NIO is rated using the NEDC metric which is far less accurate than the EPA rating.

    “Generally, the NEDC is considered the least accurate of the three, while the EPA test offers the closest approximation to real-world results for American drivers.”

    2. Their FSD computer specs are just marketing hype. If they are trying to have their FSD computer just display games, fine. But for this it’s just a waste.

    It takes several design queues from Tesla, though I do think the S and 3 look better from the outside. The inside is still a little sparse for me, but if Tesla sticks with their minimalist design interior, they could learn a thing or two about functionality from Nio. It's nice to have the IC behind the steering wheel, and the orb/pod thing in the center of the dash is interesting. It reminds me of the clock in the Taycan.

    Of course this is moot right now since we can't buy it, but it's good to see that Tesla has some global competition.

    Looks like a design that BMW rejected.

    Poor Model S. So many killers after it... more than John Wick.
