There has been no nap time during the lunch break recently in the office. Everyone coughs after lunch, and the intermittent sounds in the afternoon make me lose the impulse to sleep. So I started exploring how to take a nap on my NIO R7. The electric vehicle is already a camping tool and taking a short nap for an hour at noon is not a problem.
On the armrest of R7, there is a touch bar that can be used to adjust the seat to a comfortable angle, and there is a one-button mode to put down the seat altogether. After that, turn on the massage function and warm airflow, then I can sleep comfortably. For those who don’t like warm air, we can use seat heating instead, which is also very comfortable.
According to the official introduction, white noise will be played to make the environment more comfortable for napping. I personally cannot perceive the existence of white noise, but the overall environment inside the car is indeed quiet, and can even be described as “peaceful”. The laminated glass with double-layer insulation is excellent, and even in the parking lot, outside noises are barely perceptible. I used to worry that the frameless doors of the car would affect the sound insulation, but now I have found that it is not a problem as long as enough effort is put in.
After kicking for a few times, some cleaning is needed as it is a bit dirty.
If reclining the seat and sleeping in the back row is more comfortable, but there is no need to go through the trouble of folding it for just an hour’s nap at noon. Every time the reclining mode is exited, both the seat and screen settings will be restored to the state before boarding, which is an awesome feature!!
