Entering August 2024, I have spent 1,416 days switching from Audi A3 to Weilai ES6, with a mileage of 40,859 kilometers. In almost 4 years, I have driven nearly 40,000 kilometers, with an average of 10,000 kilometers per year. The car is indeed not very capable of driving. For ordinary citizens who commute to work, occasionally take their families and drive to the suburbs of Beijing for fun, and return to their hometown every three or five times, they belong to the ordinary majority. But coincidentally, the car The A3 has also been driven for almost 4 years and has a similar mileage. It is just a good time to compare the cost of using the car after converting from oil to electricity.
[Gas costs VS electricity costs, free battery replacement benefits significantly reduce daily energy expenses]
As an old owner of the ES6 generation car, the free battery replacement rights are not covered. In terms of daily energy expenses, replenishing energy can save a lot of money. No matter how you calculate the oil price, it doesn’t matter whether it is 92 or 95, it doesn’t matter what gas station fuel card you have. How to promote promotion? In the face of the absolute power of free battery swap rights, no matter how fancy the money-saving strategy for gasoline vehicles is, it pales in comparison. Compared with the same level of fuel vehicles, the official calculation cost has saved a total of 29,278 yuan, with an average saving of 29,278 yuan per year. 7319.5 yuan, let’s consider it 7300 yuan
[In the premium competition, NIO wins because of its transparent price]
The premium for a new Audi car in the first year is 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, and the insurance starting from the second year is about 4,000 yuan. But including various insurance rebates, car wash privileges and gas card privileges, the average premium is about 3,000 yuan, but You have to worry about handling these rebates and discounts by yourself. The discounts given by different 4S stores are also very different. The service prices are relatively opaque, and the first-year premium of NIO ES6 is included in the insurance. The price is basically not much different from that of a gas car. By the fourth year, the insurance company quoted me a price of just over 3,000 yuan. From this point of view, in terms of premium quotations, the difference between the two gradually narrowed as the car's service life increased, while Wei The pricing of our worry-free services is relatively transparent, and there is no need for various calculations or arguments with insurance companies to find the so-called "optimal solution."
[The cost of maintaining a car is huge, the electric car saves money and worries]
In petrol trucks, the maintenance cost of the Audi A3 is already low compared to other BBAs, and with various discount coupons, the price of a minor maintenance is also around 1,200 (of course, maintenance outside will be cheaper, but under the warranty It is still recommended to have it maintained at a 4S shop during the period). Since I didn’t drive much and didn’t go through 60,000 kilometers of major maintenance, I changed the car because it was scheduled for tram number. As I drive more economically, I can only do up to 1 maintenance per year. In this case, the maintenance cost of maintaining a Buddhist-style A3 car in 4 years will cost nearly 7,000 yuan.
As trams, NIO usually requires less maintenance because they have fewer mechanical parts and do not need to replace oil, filters, etc. The maintenance of electric vehicles usually includes battery and motor inspections, tire replacement, etc. The cost of these maintenance items is usually lower than that of fuel vehicles. In addition, the worry-free service package will cost an additional 1,580 RMB per year until 2024. , but other than that, I have hardly spent any extra money. In the case of official maintenance, the annual maintenance costs of Weilai's 1580 and Audi's annual maintenance costs of about 1200-1800 are almost insignificant to a car owner like me who doesn't use the car very much. There are differences. The main difference is the worry-free service. Weilai's one-click maintenance is very convenient. After the car is repaired, it can be sent back to the place where it was repaired. It will also provide a mobility scooter or points compensation in the process. These are all things you have to worry about on schedule. This is incomparable to traditional oil trucks sent to designated stores for maintenance, and the time saved is immeasurable in money.
The cost of living for modern people is getting higher and higher. Faced with multiple pressures such as maintaining a house, maintaining a car, education, and medical care, rational planning of finances and lifestyle has become an issue that many people need to consider. In this context, choosing NIO as a travel tool can indeed be a way to save costs and improve the quality of life. The money and time saved can be used by individuals, such as better diet, fitness, and leisure travel. Improve the quality of life. Although the initial purchase cost of electric vehicles may be higher, in the long term, low maintenance costs and energy costs can bring better economic benefits, as well as irreplaceable psychological satisfaction and pride.
Instead of worrying about fluctuating oil prices every day and planning your trip according to the changing oil truck number limit policy, it is better to choose trams in line with the development of the times. As a product of the development of the times, trams can not only save economic costs for individuals, but also bring about a more environmentally friendly journey. , a smarter lifestyle, it is better to wait for the wind to come than to go with the wind!
The first result of C-IASI's 2024 evaluation model has been released. The standards this time are more accurate and stricter, and a new safety level "G+" has appeared
All safety configurations and standards of Ideal L6 are at the same level as those of the big brothers 789, and even surpass them. While the price has been reduced, the configuration has not been reduced. The so-called "safety is the greatest luxury" and "safety is standard configuration"
Before making a decision, the following picture was the one that I agreed with the most. It was also this picture that made me make a decision after the press conference. It was deeply imprinted in my mind and shut up all the rumors on the Internet!
The new Ideal L6 has upgraded the safety fortress body, met C-IASI's three G+ level evaluation design standards, and established the "Li standard" that exceeds the industry standard, which can achieve "safety" standards under 56 working conditions. Using the test results of "high standards" and "high requirements", the majority of car owners can feel more at ease and more assured.
There are two points that amazed me the most.
[360° safety protection]
The Ideal L6 comes standard with 9 airbags, which can provide 360° protection without blind spots.
The dual-chamber airbags on the dashboard can provide maximum protection for the front passengers
The second-row side airbags can reduce the accidental impact force of the rear passengers
The central airbag can protect the passengers on both sides from injuries caused by collision due to force
Finally, there is an automatic tightening function of the seat belt, which can minimize the damage to the passengers
[Extreme AEB]
AEB is the abbreviation of the automatic emergency braking system, that is (Autonomous Emergency Braking)
The Ideal L6's AEB covers the full speed range (unlike some car companies that only apply to 20-80km/h) and can accurately identify vehicles, pedestrians, and general obstacles
In addition, all-round AEB can also be achieved during low-speed parking, adding another layer of "umbrella" for novice car owners
In the later stage, there will be the blessing of AES to make safety even better!
The above are the two points that moved me the most and amazed me! Every day, there are many accidents that tell us that we must pay attention to safety. Safety is the first factor to consider! Ideal has indeed put the safety of customers first, centered on "family", and perfectly protects the safety of the whole family!
In the latest results released by the China Insurance Automobile Safety Index, Ideal MEGA performed outstandingly, and with its flagship-level safety strength, it obtained the safety rating certification of G+/G+/G+/A. At the same time, Ideal MEGA became the first MPV model under the new regulations to meet the double G and double zero defects in the frontal 25% offset collision of the main and co-driver. So far, all models of Ideal Auto have obtained the highest safety rating certification of China Insurance Research Institute, bringing unparalleled safety and happiness experience to more families.
Ideal Auto has now delivered 900,000 vehicles and has been recognized by the majority of families! In addition to the high degree of intelligence, I think that such a good result is also inseparable from Ideal Auto's high attention to safety! The body structure, in-car air quality, sentinel car safety, etc. These considerate and practical configuration additions are the best reasons for us as users to choose Ideal Auto!
First of all, the whole family hopes that the ideal car will perform well in terms of safety. I hope that this car will be equipped with advanced safety systems such as anti-lock braking system, stability control system and active safety system to ensure safety during driving. In addition, I hope that the vehicle has a sturdy and durable body structure and multiple airbag systems to provide all-round protection. I hope that this car can respond quickly and take appropriate measures in an emergency to provide the family with the greatest degree of safety protection. Ideal Auto's car-making concept "We never joke about the safety of our family" is in line with our expectations for car purchases! It is a key point for us to choose Ideal Auto!
Some time ago, I also saw the colorful body of MEGA and listened to a careful and detailed explanation. The explainer introduced the safety performance standards and various safety test results pursued by MEGA from the rear, front, side, bottom and interior of the car! After listening to the introduction, I can personally feel the tireless pursuit of safety by Ideal Auto. Combined with the ideal safety body shown at the auto show, you can see the anti-collision beams and sufficient energy absorption space that look extremely hard in the front and back! Coupled with the body structure combining steel and aluminum, while meeting the lightweight requirements, it also achieves a perfect combination of strength and hardness. Some people may say that it is not an all-aluminum body, but I think it is more important to use the right materials in the right places than to blindly pursue the so-called good materials!
After watching the auto show, my dad said that Ideal Auto’s attitude towards car manufacturing will surely be recognized by more people over time! Give us a full sense of security! Come on Ideal, strive to be the light of domestic products!!! Some time ago, I also saw that Ideal Auto won the "Five-Star Healthy Car" award. Grandpa Zhong Nanshan stood on the stage to present the award. The award once again emphasized Ideal Auto’s continued attention and investment in vehicle health and safety performance.
Through understanding, five stars refer to excellent performance in all dimensions such as volatile organic compounds/interior odor intensity (VOC/VOI), in-vehicle particulate matter (PM), vehicle electromagnetic radiation (EMR), and in-vehicle allergy risk (VAR). It really protects our safety from the outside to the inside! ! !
At the same time, Ideal Auto has another plus point, paying special attention to the voice of users. Tesla’s sentinel function is good, and it is recommended that Ideal also develop this function. Ideal’s R&D team responded quickly, not only developing, but also surpassing, protecting safety while consuming very low energy!
In this way, Ideal Auto is not only meaningful, but also has excellent external safety strength! ! ! Ideal protection gives me peace of mind and a full sense of security~
Background of changing cars: I currently have Highlander and BMW i3
I have experienced the difference between gasoline cars and electric cars in depth. Gas cars have their own feelings, and electric cars have their own charm. I will not judge which one is better or worse, everyone has their own preferences
Thoughts on changing cars
Due to the high temperature this summer, every time I go out at noon, the temperature in the Highlander is almost 46 degrees. The steering wheel is so hot that I don’t want to drive at all. On the contrary, the small BMW has a function to turn on the air conditioner in advance. Although it is an ordinary small function now, it can really bring me an extraordinary experience compared to the tractor-level configuration of the Highlander. So I had the idea of buying a new car. After I had the idea, I started to look at the Emperor of Cars and looked at all kinds of models. I originally planned to keep the Highlander for delivery and buy a hybrid or electric car for commuting. Later, I thought that it would be a bit wasteful for two people to use three cars. After all, I still have to consider taking the baby out and at the same time, I am tall and mighty ?. I still like to drive SUVs and don’t like sedans, so I decided to change to a large SUV and replace it with the Highlander. Having said that, the Highlander is very good for home and company use. During the epidemic, it was completely used as a truck, and it was very long. I haven't pulled up the back seat for a while. After laying it flat, the loading capacity is great. I don't feel bad about it. 1575 days of companionship is considered to be fully utilized.
Speaking of the choice between pure electric and gasoline cars, since I often go to Jiangsu, my hometown is in Xinyi, Jiangsu, there is a mountain, a water, and an ancient town, a very beautiful small county town, I have the opportunity to visit, and I also have business in Jiangsu, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenhai often run, the disadvantage of pure electric is that the service area charging piles are uneven, some are more, some are less, some people are full and don't leave, some people are determined to cut in line, gas stations can still queue up to refuel, but charging stations do not have this subtle sense of order, running more high-speed charging difficulties is naturally a problem, at least for me, pure electric cars are still a little inconvenient, then the advantage of gasoline cars is that refueling is convenient, running around without anxiety, but other aspects have not yet come up with better advantages. After driving an electric car, you can't go back to a gasoline car. This sentence seems to have magic power, and it cures those who don't believe it. Of course, gasoline cars have their advantages, but electric cars not only bring differences in performance, but more importantly, they improve the user experience. At least my experience is good. I always feel that it's a bit of a loss to change a car without new energy at this stage, so the first stop is to test drive the NIO ES8. The feeling is very good. Simply rent a car on the NIO APP to experience it in depth, but the one I drove was the old ES8. After driving it for a while, I felt that it was not as good as the Highlander, so I returned it at that time. I didn't even drive 5 kilometers and threw away 699 in vain. It can be said that I have no fate with pure electric and NIO for the time being.
Car change process
In fact, I have always thought that NIO is good and never thought about looking at L9. Who knew that I had no fate with NIO. Many netizens on the Internet said that extended-range technology was unnecessary, but many cars in the world are also doing extended-range technology. I simply spent some time to learn about it. After knowing the general situation, I didn’t take it seriously until the weekend in mid-August when I was going to Pudong Nanmen to have hotpot and dinner. It happened that there was an Ideal Auto downstairs, so I called to ask. They recommended L+PLAZA retail center, where there are more cars. Sure enough, the first thing I saw when I arrived at the store was the green L9, followed by 6789 MEGA blue elephant gray and black... almost all of them were available, and a test drive was arranged quickly. To borrow the words of the ace sales Gao Xiaoqing, when a noble person goes out, there are many storms. As soon as we went out, we encountered a rainstorm. It was dark and gloomy. The overall experience was good, the seats were soft and the massage was comfortable , the throttle is light and you can't feel it's a 2.5t car. The intelligent driving is precise, especially in the case of heavy rain and poor visibility, it can be completely handed over to the intelligent driving. It even has an anti-motion sickness function. My son and my mother often get motion sickness. I don't know if it's because of psychological reasons that they are fine when sitting in this car. There are many other rich configurations, and many humanized small functions cannot be introduced one by one. In short, the experience is very good, especially the ace saleswoman Ms. Gao Xiaoqing, the service attitude is very good, the introduction is also very professional, not only can we answer our questions one by one, but also give reasonable suggestions for different car needs. I think this is the state that service specialists should have. In contrast, the feeling of being neglected, ignored and stimulated when buying a fuel car is still fresh in my memory. Have friends who buy fuel cars also had this feeling? The pleasure of spending money to make yourself happy and comfortable may have surpassed the feeling that the product itself can bring. After the whole experience process, it is almost locked. It seems that there is no car to choose that can meet this price range, car needs, and use experience. As for whether this car has shortcomings or better choices, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that I feel very good at this moment. It's that simple, enough.
The ideal one-stop replacement and seamless connection also made me feel very comfortable. They took photos and checked the insurance records on the spot, and estimated the price of the old car. I didn't have to worry about the whole process. I just had to provide the certificate information, including the refund amount of the blue license plate and a series of other things. It was very convenient. After all, the time cost in Shanghai is more expensive. Due to Shanghai's policies, hybrid vehicles must use the blue license plate quota to be purchased. In the next week, I prepared some license plate auction information and planned to participate in the auction on August 26. On August 25, we wanted to test drive the silver car again, so we contacted Ms. Gao. This time it was more convenient. She directly borrowed a test drive car L9 to pick us up. What's more thoughtful is that she knew there were four of us and prepared different kinds of drinks. This was really in place. Thumbs up ??. After seeing the real car, I found it was pretty good. If the service is so good, then sign the contract. There's still no rush. She said she would wait until the license plate was auctioned next week before making an order. So I was quite satisfied with the whole process and was not forced to make some impulsive decisions. It's great! As for the choice of color, I use the elimination method. I don't choose green and purple that require extra money, black and gray that are not resistant to dirt, and gold that is too ostentatious and does not suit my personality. Only silver is left. The interior is only black, white and orange. Black is too depressing, and orange will get boring after a long time. Only white is left. Just choose according to your personal preferences.
Since the production base is in Changzhou and there is a warehouse in Shanghai, the new car was arranged quickly. It was scheduled to be picked up on Saturday, August 31. At the same time, I just drove the old car over and gave them the keys. At the same time, the old car payment was received. It was the first time I saw this kind of car picking scene. It was really big. Looking at the L series cars, I couldn't tell which one it was without looking at the number on the butt. I searched for a long time and estimated that 06 was mine. After a series of patient explanations and professional business guidance from handsome Shen Xinjie, the car inspection was arranged smoothly. It is recommended to entrust Ideal to get the license plate. It is fast and worry-free. After all, the time cost is more expensive. After the car inspection on the spot, I drove it home!
Hello everyone, I want to share a unique experience I had when I was on a business trip in Shanxi. This business trip made me feel a new way of travel and made me realize the charm of new energy vehicles again.
First, let me briefly introduce my garage. In March last year, I bought an ET5, which has always been my main model for travel.
However, last week, I bought a Tesla Model 3 on impulse, mainly because of its appearance and brand influence.
Originally, I planned to drive my Tesla to Shanxi. After all, I just bought a Tesla not long ago and I really want to spend more time with it hahahaha. However, a few days before I was ready to leave, I accidentally discovered a service called Yuexiang Car Rental on the NIO APP. This new car rental service immediately attracted my attention, and I began to study this service.
I found that NIO's Yuexiang Car Rental service is very user-friendly and provides a car rental function in different places. This is really a very practical and convenient choice for me who needs to drive long distances, especially for cross-provincial business trips. I can pick up the car directly at the destination, which greatly saves travel time and reduces driving fatigue.
In addition, NIO's Enjoy Car Rental Service effectively resolves the mileage anxiety during business trips. Although Tesla has excellent performance, the time spent looking for charging stations and waiting for charging during long-distance driving will cause me trouble. As an ET5 owner, NIO's battery replacement service has always been a point that makes us very satisfied. It only takes 3-5 minutes to replace a fully charged battery, which can greatly reduce the mileage anxiety during business trips and save the time waiting for charging.
After some thought, I decided to try NIO's Enjoy Car Rental Service. So I rented an ES8 on the APP. When I actually drove this car, I deeply experienced the correctness of this decision.
The driving experience of ES8 is very good. It is both powerful and comfortable. More importantly, I can replace the battery conveniently and quickly at any battery replacement station, which means that I no longer need to worry about charging problems on my business trip.
In addition, the interior space of ES8 is very spacious, which is very practical for situations like me where I need to carry a lot of luggage on business trips. And the comfort of the vehicle is also great, which can reduce fatigue even during long-distance driving.
What surprised me even more was the ES8's intelligent assisted driving system. Functions such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and intelligent recognition of traffic signs provided me with great convenience during high-speed driving, greatly reduced my fatigue, and made the entire business trip more comfortable.
Moreover, NIO also provides an exclusive WeChat service group, which answers all questions, making me feel very considerate. During the trip, I also enjoyed a free battery replacement service, which really made me feel that the cost-effectiveness was super high.
In general, I had a very pleasant trip experience on this business trip to Shanxi because I chose NIO's Yuexiang car rental service. I think this innovative way of travel can not only alleviate our mileage anxiety, but also bring us a better driving experience. If other friends have similar needs, then I strongly recommend you to try NIO's Yuexiang car rental service~
Hello everyone, I am a NIO ES7 first edition owner. Last month, I made a decision to replace my ES7 with the new ES6. Today, I would like to share this replacement experience with you.
Comfort upgrade, family sharing
I have always loved SUVs. The air suspension of my previous ES7 performed well on bumpy roads, especially speed bumps in mountainous areas, which always brought a comfortable driving experience.
Now I have changed to the new ES6, and the seat comfort of ES6 has been taken to a higher level. I deliberately chose the full enjoyment package, whether it is a weekend trip or a holiday trip, the family's riding experience has been greatly improved. The front and rear seat ventilation and massage functions make every trip a pleasure.
My children have a special liking for the color of ES6. Although ES6 is more compact than ES7, the improvement of seat comfort allows family members in the back row to enjoy a relaxing journey. The blessing of the full enjoyment package makes every trip full of expectations.
Reasons for replacement: dual considerations of market and performance
Why replace ES6?
To be honest, on the one hand, the ES6 has a relatively high value retention rate, and its price is more stable in the used car market. On the other hand, the 2024 ES6 has significantly enhanced configuration, computing power, seats, and driving comfort. In fact, to a certain extent, the driving feel of the ES6 is not inferior to that of the ES7, it may just be slightly smaller than the ES7 in terms of space. And I only have one child, so the ES6 can meet my current car needs.
Efficient replacement, sell the car in 3 days
Weilai's used car replacement service is extremely efficient. From submitting the requirements to the door-to-door inspection, to the quotation and transaction, the whole process took only a few days. The quotation obtained from the national bidding was reasonable, so I made a decision without hesitation. NIO's staff was thoughtful throughout the process, which saved me a lot of trouble.
NIO's used car side is extremely efficient. I only submitted the requirements and provided some relatively simple information, and made an appointment for the door-to-door inspection the next day. The quotation was given the day after the inspection, which was super efficient, and it was a national bidding. The quotation was also very suitable for me, and I decided to sell it on the same day. I remember that I put forward the demand on Wednesday, inspected the car on Thursday, made a quotation on Friday, and the used car dealer took the car away on Saturday. I got my new car in about 20 days. The whole process was very efficient and worry-free. The relevant staff of NIO considered many matters for me throughout the process. It was really fast, time-saving and worry-free.
Personal suggestion: choose on demand, BASS mode is more flexible
Finally, I suggest that you choose according to your actual needs when considering replacing a new car. I personally highly recommend choosing BASS. For cities with more battery swap stations, 100-degree batteries are not a must. With the increasing number of battery swap stations, in fact, even if you don’t choose a 100-degree battery, it can meet most driving needs. Take me as an example. I went on a business trip to five cities in northern Jiangsu last week. During the trip, I used a 70-degree battery. I didn’t charge it during the entire trip, but replaced the battery throughout the journey. The operation was simple and efficient. Therefore, choosing according to the actual situation can also achieve a high-quality driving experience.
In short, the replacement from ES7 to ES6 not only improved the comfort of family travel, but also made me more confident in the NIO brand. If you are also considering replacing or buying a new car, I strongly recommend NIO's ES6, which will bring you and your family a brand new travel experience.
Let me talk about my car buying experience first~
My parents talked to us about buying a car in mid-June, and we started looking at cars one after another. Because we have been in Shanghai for a long time, we first reached a consensus to buy an electric car. Then, based on a budget of about 300,000 yuan, we test-drove the Wenjie m5, m7, Zhijie S7, Avita 12, and NIO et5t.
At first, I was fascinated by the Avita 12. I felt that the design of the car was bold and avant-garde, the interior was luxurious, and the overall driving experience was also very good, especially the intelligent driving. I went to see it three or four times, but I don’t know why, I always couldn’t make up my mind (maybe it’s really not my destiny ).
When I was hesitant, I heard the NIO salesperson tell us that we could try ES6 (the main feeling of the previous test drive of et5t was that the space was a little small), so I took the opportunity to take a look again on the weekend. The first sight of the es6 when I arrived at the store was attracted by the appearance of the es6. It really fits our aesthetic point. The sense of grandeur and luxury came to my face. In addition, I often saw the figure of es6 on the road, so I liked it more!
Hurry up and test drive! The power of the dual motors is really strong, stepping on the accelerator is effortless, the gear design is quite user-friendly, including the steering wheel, and the control is very strong. The interior is simple but not simple, giving people a sense of stability and taste.
The short 30-minute test drive gave us a strong desire to buy. When we went home to discuss with my parents, my parents also agreed that whether it is NIO's reputation, brand power, or the car itself, it is worth buying. In this way, we did not hesitate to decide on NIO ES6 when we had never considered it before and the car was a bit over budget.
Of course, we also had some small concerns when buying a car, mainly in terms of battery life. However, in the past month since we got the car, we found that in fact, in the city, when the air conditioning, music and massage are fully turned on, the power consumption is basically around 17, and when the smart driving is turned on on the highway, the power consumption is around 20 (by the way, the smart driving on the highway is really good), so for our family who has been in Shanghai for a long time and whose hometown is in Zhejiang, it is really enough.
Because we bought out the battery, we considered not replacing the battery within a year, so we have been charging it all the time, twice a month. I thought there were few places that support fast charging, but it was surprisingly easy to find. The charging rate is also very fast, from 20-30% to more than 90%, it only takes half an hour. It will be even faster when waiting for the battery replacement later.
Recommend NIO, join the NIO army!
Recently, my husband's colleagues at the company are preparing to buy cars one after another, so he is also strongly recommending them to buy NIO, and told everyone about his experience with the car. At that time, we can team up to participate in NIO's activities together
I've owned Zeekr X for almost a year now, and it has significantly enhanced my driving experience, offering both convenience and reliability. I’ve comfortably driven it as far as Jinan from Tongzhou in Beijing without worrying about range or charging, which speaks volumes about its efficiency. The X is a compact SUV that beautifully blends sleek style, cutting-edge technology, and impressive performance. It’s particularly well-suited for young consumers who value individuality and an engaging driving experience. The interior is modern and high-tech, featuring intuitive controls and a spacious feel despite its compact size. While there are still a few areas that could be improved, especially in terms of refinement in some features, overall, the Zeekr X is a strong contender in the new energy vehicle market and definitely worth considering for those looking to embrace electric driving.
#Who buys ES8# If you want to say which car has the deepest bond with NIO, I believe that old car owners will definitely choose ES8 without hesitation. It is the first mass-produced car released by NIO, and it is also a pioneer in the market in the NT1.0 era. It is also a capable car that countless old car owners have not retired until today.
If you are currently looking for a car in the NIO system that is suitable for home use, business occasions, travel, and loading, and has both configuration, appearance and domineering, then there is no doubt that NIO's new ES8 is the only eligible choice. After the new ES8 was released, it is still the flagship fighter in the entire NIO system. Almost all of NIO's latest, best, and most mature technologies are added to it. It is a natural king, but that's it.
I, the owner of es8, drew a self-portrait!
1. Heavy-duty pure electric SUV enthusiasts
The ES8 is really huge, 5.1 meters long, 2 meters wide, and more than 3 meters in wheelbase. Without exception, ES8 owners are fond of large SUVs, love the wide field of vision when driving, as well as the extra-large space and freely configurable rear seats, which can be either a five-seat large trunk or a six-seat layout to meet different car needs. They are loyal fans of large cars.
2. Highly recognized NIO's energy replenishment system
More than 90% of ES8's regular owners are men, who like the square and masculine design of ES8. But what they value most is almost all NIO's rechargeable, replaceable and upgradeable energy replenishment system. Having a battery swap function and having a good battery swap function are two different concepts.
3. Have a young heart and be brave to embrace new things
Among ES8's owners, there are also some young and promising young talents. Our handsome tuna boy is an es8 owner who is less than 18 years old!
But most of them are middle-aged men, mostly dads. For upper-middle-class or even wealthy families, quality of life is often what car owners value very much. Even though the monthly insurance volume of new energy vehicles has exceeded 50%, there are still many middle-aged uncles who stubbornly believe that electric vehicles are not good, unsafe, and have poor endurance, etc., especially domestic new energy vehicles.
The outstanding feature of the new ES8 is that it really spends a lot of money to do big things, choosing a high-quality, reliable and impressive car. Extremely excellent product strength, unique hardware and software strength that others do not have and I have, Haidilao-style super-high-quality service, and a group of lovely car owners who love SUVs, NIO, and ES8. This is the common point of car owners who love to drive ES8. #ES8MilestoneClub#
NIO is always good at hiding surprises in details, and constantly brings surprises when you use it inadvertently. ES8 is such a model! Drive NIO es8 to enjoy an extraordinary life!
Recently, I had the opportunity to test drive the Li Auto Mega, a flagship electric MPV that's turning heads with its premium design, technology, and driving performance. Here’s a detailed review of my experience with this impressive vehicle.
First Impressions: Design & Interior
The moment I saw the Li Auto Mega, its sleek and modern design instantly caught my attention.
