Let's talk about why I bought the ET7 again. On January 9, 2021, NIO released the ET7 model, and the slogan at the time was "Ready For Tomorrow."
As the pioneering work of the NT2 platform, with an elegant and original executive sedan posture, touch-sensitive capacitive door handles, simple, exquisite, and restrained interior design, it still represents the strongest aesthetics of domestic cars.
To what extent is it good-looking? Only two cars would make me look back after locking the car, one is the 911, and the other is the ET7!
The first to mass-produce the on-board laser radar, combined with 1016 TOPS top-level computing power, and the leading-edge Aqulia constellation watchtower layout, all of this makes Ready For Tomorrow well-deserved.
Unfortunately, for various reasons, the car from January 2021 was not delivered to me until June 2022. Following that, there were issues with quality and reliability, affecting NIO's reputation built up over the years. Coupled with various environmental factors, I don't think the ET7 achieved the sales volume he expected.
And the first edition I purchased in Antarctic Star Blue, after traveling with me to the northeast, I chose to sell it and bought the more agile ET5.
...
By June 2024, NIO has not given up on exploring executive sedans. The 2024 version of the ET7 has improved softer seats, added executive attributes to the rear screens, and made every effort to add the advanced technology accumulated by NIO once again.
As an old ET7 owner like me, passing by occasionally, sitting in the car, I was once again thrilled. Just when there were display cars available for the ET7, this was crucial. I placed the order on Saturday and picked up the car on Thursday, lightning fast!
On the way back today, the familiar precise driving sensation, seamless power output, familiar atmosphere, better sound system, more comfortable seats, possibly better NVH, driving back with Mr. Pan, all with smiles.
I think this is the value of the ET7.
A good car will keep making you reluctant to let go even after you sell it. Memories linger and will have echoes.
