China’s Nio ES6, granted its not a truck! There’s some cool stuff going on here., and hopefully this will spark more innovation. Here’s a few things that I found interesting:

1. 10:24-No Me (not sure of the spelling) on board computer. Very much like SIRI, but with a R2D2 vibe.
2. 14:15-Ambient lighting. I have it in my Toyota Avalon and like not having to turn on lights to get things at night.
3. 14:42-Fragrance system. Kinda meh, at first thought, but having hauled hockey bags in an enclosed environment, I would have welcomed it. (Yes, cyber truck has a enclosed vault and air filtration system-thank you captain obvious, just pointing out something a little different).
4. 15:23-Parking camera system. I WANT IT!
5. 22:25 Sun Roof, personally, I don't like them, but many do.
6. 24:20 Queen Seats. Hate the name! But OMG- love it!
7. 26:20 Massage seats-enough said.

So whats your thoughts on this?

I thought we could revisit this a year and a half later.

Nope, no Nio sales in USA. Maybe Nio is killing Tesla in China. Nope, Tesla took 2 of the three top spots for EV sales in China and Nio didn't even make the top 15. Source:

China EV: Tesla Xpeng Nio BYD are best-selling electric cars in 2021 (cnbc.com)

It's not clear why anyone would think Nio could match the value Tesla brings to the auto buyer. First clue is there is no frunk, a sure sign the manufacturer either doesn't care about functionality or that they are struggling with packaging basic EV technology.
