Pre-orders are now open in China and a telling sign will be how many consumers opt into an L6 and if they go for the solid-state version.
Way too much screen distraction ,LOL
All I know is that crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight.
I hate parallel parking. This could be a big seller................
The traffic monitor is on the left, the porn channel on the right, the weather and music video are split screened on the lower, seat sensors prevent it from self combusting with a person in it (safety feature) and all of the data including your speech, driving habits and places you go will be safely stored in China (away from those nasty hackers). What’s not to like?
These are astounding claims.
If true, they represent a serious advance in battery tech.
It sounds almost like TGTBT.
Solid state batteries have been under the radar for a while.
This could change everything. Ford, GM, Stellantis/Chrysler and all the others would be caught flatfooted.............
The steering wheel is missing it’s top half
130 kWh but how fast is fast charging? To charge it in an hour theoretically would take 130 kw (ignoring that pesky 2nd law) in 1/2 an hour twice that ie 260kw that’s roughly 600amps at 440 volts. We’re talking small industrial manufacturing facility sized demand for just one of the things. Suppose you have a dozen or more charging at any one time. The charging station would need its own substation to service that many 600 amp 440 volt draws. And where is the power coming from? Not from wind and solar. It’s cloudy and raining here and the wind isn’t blowing a combination which is not at all rare, and it was calm last night too. Oops no wind and solar then either.
The real test is “does it fill-up as fast as an ICE vehicle” - i.e. max 5-minutes?
Fast charging kills the battery and when will they provide all battery info with the push of a button because how the owners uses the car will effect the battery big time
This kind of creativity would never be allowed out of american based companies. Not enough regulatory lock-in to make it “viable”.
These, of course, will be killed off through lawfare.
Fast filling the gas tank doesn’t harm the gas tank. Wow EVs are sooo kool.
The steering is most likely by computer rather than mechanical. The “steering wheel” is actually a modified joy stick.
Tesla........
Even the lowly new Hyundai Tucson has two 12.3 dashboard screens behind a single glass piece.
The rear end looks like an 80’s Buick.
