Of course I won't stop doing 1000 km challenge. But the problem with Nio is that battery swap needs to be done during opening hours which is betwenen 7 and 22. And the route via Sweden is 20 minutes slower because of landslide. Another problem is that I have already done 1000 km challenge with almost the same car (ET5). There should be a limit of how many 1000 km challenges I actually do. At least a bigger battery, faster charging curve or something else should trigger a new test. I have seen in the past that people are less interested in 1000 km challenge if another car which was almost the same has already done it before. As for Arctic Circle trips, these trips takes two full days. As long as I don't want to stress too much, the trip starts early morning the first day and I often arrive really late the second day. Now that I have a 1.5 year old daughter and my wife is pregnant, and we recently moved to a new house which requires lots of stuff to be done, I simply can't go to Arctic Circle. In the future when I have more money I can hire a babysitter. But this won't happen anytime soon as you also know the financial issue I have with the new house.

I’ve driven a lot of NIO’s for my work. They’re lightning fast, comfortable and have loads of features as standard. Charging is cool too, although the patented battery swap is realistically kind of shit financially. Unfortunately it’s no match for the reigning elite, especially the Germans, in my eyes anyway. The NIO autopilot is ridiculously bad. Lane changes are horrific with the cruise control on, and there is loads of “ghost-braking”. It also has emergency stopped for seemingly nothing 3 times in the year I drove them. I think NIO looks stunning (apart from the weird camera’s up top) and they can really get far.
