New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China
- Thread starter supercat
- Start date
Tesla factory getting shut down mostly for 2 weeks in July for upgrades to factory so that it can produce at higher rate
NIO ET7 model crash generating big news in China.
Li Auto anticipated to use the new Kirin (Qilin) battery from CATL. I think Neta also expressed interest.
More Details on BYD's new luxury brand that will get announced. The first expected product is an off-roader. The second one is a very large luxurious sports car. This will use a new BEV platform (not hybrid). It will have range of 1000 km and be able to go from 0 to 100 in under 3 seconds and use the newest LFP Blade Battery.
BMW trying to defend it's largest market
That's not a small investment by legacy standard, but BYD has this number crushed.
One more thing, BYD was tasked with building cars for autonomous delivery service Nuro. where Nuro provides autonomous driving functions and BYD designs/builds the vehicle.
I see online that the hardware/software integration for this has now been completed. It seems to me they need a new factory location in America if they were to build cars for Nuro and then for itself. The existing Lancaster plant is pretty maxed out for different production.

Today,Shanghai ,dude lost control and fall from 5th floor, 2 dead( Nio ET5)
I don’t know for sure, I guess they were on autonomous driving mode, Lidar and camera failed and driving into the glass wall .
But that’s just my wild guess ,so far nobody know anything for sure , I just don’t believe there are people this stupid out there.

Were the two dead pedestrians? Because they said the driver said he stepped on forward instead of reverse. Shit.

That's why the "Uyghur Labor Law" will fail.
No. They were the testers inside the vehicle. As you pointed out, preliminary investigation points to driver error.
Regarding the Qilin battery, it can be charged to 80% of its full capacity in 10 minutes. The energy density is 255Wh/kg, and is cooled all-around instead of bottom only, and the temperature control time is cut by half, so thermal runaway is drastically reduced.
The first 2 customers are Li Auto and Neta:
German not made life easy for Tesla during permits, construction and now labor hiring. it does not seem they particularly keen on it
considering the size of Tesla investment and Musk all praise for German engineering.
Nah, two test drivers both dead, Nio claimed that it’s not caused by mechanical failure, but I think maybe they shouldn’t rush to the conclusion, and honestly, I’m not gonna trust them in this
