I DRIVE A NIO FOR THE FIRST TIME! THIS ET7 HAS GREAT FEATURES BUT IS SEEMINGLY GLITCHY

EV Channels Review

The NIO ET7 presents a compelling package with impressive build quality and a sophisticated interior, making it a strong contender in the premium EV sedan market. The reviewer highlights the car's quiet and comfortable ride, excellent fit and finish, and responsive, high-quality software interface, particularly praising the Nomi AI assistant and the customizable driving modes. However, the experience was marred by significant glitches, including non-functional driver assistance systems and issues with the car's registration for battery swapping, preventing a full evaluation of key features. The reviewer also noted a high seating position due to the large battery pack and a noticeable delay in throttle response in Comfort mode, though Sport Plus and custom modes offered better performance. Despite the technical issues encountered, the ET7's hardware, materials, and overall refinement suggest strong potential, with the reviewer eager for a follow-up experience to properly test its unique features like battery swapping and advanced driver aids.
