Nio is coming out with a 1000km semi-solid battery this month so it’s not as far away as many think.

They also just opened a showroom here in Amsterdam this week, with that ET7 in the window. I’ll wander in today and see what’s up.

Customers can also buy a car without a battery by picking a battery as a service subscription with a monthly payment. Soon, Nio-branded vehicles will also get one more battery option for long trips, which offers a capacity of 150 kWh. It will be available only via subscription.

No thanks.

What a weird business model. Who would spend all that money on a nonfunctional car and tie themselves down on a proprietary battery subscription? Why not just...lease a whole car?

Even more bizarre because the people who would want the highest capacity battery are probably the ones most committed to a long term purchase, not a month-to-month rental.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
