Still amazes me that Ferrari and even Porsche (911) are saying that the sound of the V6/8/10/12 is the only thing that sets them aside from their competitors so they are sticking with ICE until the end. Really ? Clearly the future is going to be with companies like Nio and Rimac who are just getting on with it and turning out amazing cars that are going to be aspirational to the next generation.

NIO has all the incredible technology ! GO NIO

Brilliant! Elliot you make this channel top notch!

Elliot, that must of been an experience of a lifetime?!

If Nio could kindly bring over a few for the fully charge Fully Charged LIVE I would buy tickets rights now if I could have a go in one.

would've liked this drive a bit more uncut. 10 minute video for such a rarity/experience seems a bit of a wasted opportunity to show us the drive. Perhaps throw it on Fully charged plus? :)

Well… I'm sure racing aficionados are drooling over this episode. Elliot's heart must have been racing as fast as the EP9! I'll never drive it for sure, as I can't handle high Gs -in any car, even my own Tesla- without feeling faint and nauseous. I bet Tesla is imitating the steering on these rocket ships to make its whiz-bang models appear to have a racetrack heritage. Kind of an over-the-top gimmick, though, since lock-to-lock motion on racing yokes is ~400° -not the ~1200° that production cars need on everyday roads and highways.

Sounds sick for a EV.

@logicalChimp

Think he said 'couple of seconds' slower... and that could be right, given that really big power is only required to top speed on really long straights... at lower speeds, limiting factor on acceleration is grip, not power, so once you have enough power to exceed grip, extra power doesn't make so much difference.

Could be correct in the sense that with him driving it might be only that difference because there is no way he would be able to use the extra performance.

@@udishomer5852 I bought a used 2016 Kia Soul EV+ last year for about $13000 in perfect condition, less than 18,000 miles on it and only one owner. It is everything I hoped it would be and more. Best car I have ever owned, new or used. Costs me less than $3 to "fill it up", has zero maintenance, is super smooth and quiet and just works. In the year that I've had it I've only needed to charge it outside of my house 5 or 6 times and never had a single problem finding a charger. This is in Central Florida, so may not be the same everywhere. Nissan has just released the new 2022 Nissan Leaf at $27,400 before incentives which could put it under $20,000 with the federal tax break, and Chevy priced the 2022 Chevy Bolt at $31000 with 259 miles of range before any incentives. What needs to happen is that the price needs to get at least under $25,000 _without_ any incentives for a car with at least 200 miles of range (the Leaf mentioned above is around 120 miles). We're finally heading in that direction but it's going to take a year or two more before it really happens across the board, though Nissan has come the closest so far.

I am sure this video will be popular. But, I was honestly more intrigued by the Wuling.

1:17 bubble on rear quarter panel above wheel arch crease ? Edit: So it's like a rich person's dodgem car session?

Strange...unless I am missing something, the Tesla family sedan, a Model S Plaid, does 0-60 (0-~100km/h) in less than 2 seconds while the EP9 lumbers along at 2.7 seconds (per NIO) and the EP9 costs about 7 times more than Model S Plaid. Would have been nice if Elliott had provided more technical details, compared the EP9 to other vehicles, and explained the classes of high-end ev's which have recently emerged.

Eliot needs to hold up on the superlatives. The NIO EP9 is a long, long way from being the "most expensive" EV, and it's not the fastest, either. See the Rimac Nevera for an example of something that is both more expensive, faster and quicker. And is street legal. Also, those are NOT "gull wing" doors, they are butterfly doors. Don't get me wrong, it's a great car. Just please do a little research.

You said 1 Megawatt was a thousand watts... I think you mean a thousand KiloWatts or 1 Million watts, slight difference :)
