Compared to Tesla, I ended up buying the NIO ET5.

What is your car budget?

Around 300,000 yuan. Electric cars are too expensive, and the technology is iterating too fast.

How much did you spend on buying it in total?

Around 340,000 yuan, and the film was exchanged with points, which is much better than other stores.

How long did you wait for your car to be delivered?

More than half a year

NIO’s new car, from release to market to delivery, is simply ‘slow’.

Is this your first car?

No

Is this the first time you have purchased a new energy vehicle?

No

Do you have a home charging pile?

Yes

Why did you want to change your car?

Tesla’s hardware and interior are already outdated in today’s Chinese new energy market.

Have you considered any other car before buying it?

No, I feel that besides Tesla and NIO, the ones below are not up to par, and the ones above are out of reach. Of course, they are also not worth it.

What is your score for its appearance? Please share some car pictures!

Stylish

When it comes to looks, ET5 is the most beautiful new energy sedan on the market.

Are you satisfied with its space?

Acceptable 除了后排头部有点小,其他都ok的

How do you feel about its power?

Excellent power

Within 4 seconds is fine. I won’t use it that fast in daily driving.

What score do you give to its driving assistance system?

Basically usable

I’m not really interested in driving assistance. At most, I use it to eat breakfast with both hands in an emergency.

How is its energy consumption and endurance performance?

Reasonable and efficient

The energy consumption is indeed high. I look forward to optimization in the future. I suggest that the option of laser radar can be turned off, as I don’t need it.

Are you satisfied with its car infotainment system?

As expected

The car infotainment system is okay, after all, it’s only a few features that need improvement.

How often do you charge it in daily use?

Once every five days or so, not too sensitive.

Share three things that you hope it can improve:

Energy consumption, the success rate of Bluetooth keys, and softer seats.

Share three things that you are most satisfied with:

The appearance, ambient lighting, and rubber-drawn decorative panels.

Share your experience with the car:

Driving Tesla for a long time feels rough, and I still prefer the softness of NIO. Of course, ET5 is already a lot firmer than other SUVs of their brand. The comfort level is just right for me. The energy consumption is indeed a bit high. If the power-hungry laser radar can be turned off without the assistance of driving, the energy consumption will be reduced significantly.
