NEW NIO ES7 - First look: There's a lot to like, and...

Recently we had the chance to visit the second release of NIO's second generation of EVs while it was briefly on display at the NIO Flagship shop in Shanghai. There's a lot to like. The Dolby Atmos sound system is mind-blowing and standard on the new generation of NI0s - ET7, ES7, and the upcoming ET5. We regret not having that in our own EC6; it wasn't even an option, but other than that, we still prefer the overall design of our EC6. When the new NIO outlets are operational shortly in Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark later this year, the ET7, ES7, and ET5 will be the cars available. Norway will get them in addition to the first gen ES8 they currently have. Apparently, our EC6 model will not be going to Europe, which is a pity because it's a great-looking car - and still my design preference. One complaint so far: the massive rear-quarter blind spots, and no sensors, especially for the premium price. An alert tone was just added for objects (like people) when they're sensed passing in front of the car, which you can see through the windscreen with these human sensors called eyes, but blind spots are called blind spots for a reason. And they're massive, like two black holes swallowing up everything that enters their gravitational field.

We will be getting the NT 1.5 upgrade soon, we're not sure what it's called or what to expect, but we know major surgery will involve our EC6s hardware and software. We'll, of course, do a video about the experience.

We're invited to test drive an ES7 when one becomes available, and we'll take you along on that as well. If there's anything else you'd like us to cover, please let us know, and we'll be happy to address it.
