Bjorn, we love your RUclips content (Wifey & I), We do worry however that despite your obvious driving skill, a small error of judgement in these conditions could be catastrophic for you and your young family. Not to mention occupants of oncomming traffic. We now realise you were playing with our anxiety by saying you wish you'd got winter tyres on the car, but that to the side, please be extra careful. Loving the conent in the ELBILMEK workshop, you strike a great balance between the interesting technical knowledge and the humour. A.B.C - Always be careful ! .
Heating the LIDAR makes sense, but Nio, you need to not heat it that much... No wonder it got covered in crusty schmutz in an "earlier video". 10deg C would be more than good enough heating to allow ice/snow to melt but not cook off all the water leaving lots of salt/minerals behind.
@@oskarzgoa8428 That huge LIDAR bump alone was heated up to 20C in constant 100km/h headwind in -6C. I believe that is drawing hundreds of watts alone.
@@oskarzgoa8428 Something is not right with the consumption, as it fluctuates by 50% up and down at constant speed. The tires are ok, the CV value is also ok, it's not even an SUV, so air resistance should be fine. My guess is the heat management, it is warming up something in the car (either battery or external sensors, or just the regular heating is inefficient) and switching on/off every couple of seconds.
Do not understand what you are trying to say, but all nios have watercooled batteries and motors just like every other car except Nissan leaf. It it just a fast connector similar to those of hydraulic systems😊
what joke? You have never driven in winter if you dont belive him when he says it will be better with winter tires. But remember Bjørn is like chuck norris of cars.
LIDAR requires clean LIDAR windows. Heating it doesn't clean it. With all the crap on the road, it's not strange that your LIDAR gets dirty. Camera's also can't see if the lens is dirty, it's not rocket science.
So it seems LIDAR is not the godsend people make it out to be. Radar at least can see through some dirt. Cameras behind the windshield are kept clean. LIDAR that isn't behind the windscreen seems to be the worst of both. Cannot see through dirt, and isn't cleaned.
@@bjornnyland I'm not skipping. I'm the biggest fan :D. Hm... but I have to admit that I'm only listening about half of the time, as I'm playing your videos while doing house chores. Even if I replayed that 14:49+ part and looked closely, I could not figure if those are winter tires or not...

Man, you're producing content like a machine! Nice!
Do you like that shit?? :)
It's ABC. Always Bring Content
THe ET5 Touring is one of the most beautiful cars on the market :)
A very cool car! Apparently Geely is now partnering up with Nio for their battery swapping as well!
Nice car, nice X-mas music, but i will stay with my MY! Great work, Björn!
Nio❤
Best awd slippery conditions ive driven is Tesla. But Im impressed with my Nio as well, better than a lot of cars Ive tested.

yes, it should be washed
The heat signatures were very telling.
I guess the high energy consumption comes from heating that LIDAR and all the external cameras.
How much can it be? Maybe 10-20W for each?

@@enigmatumIt has fast connectors. Same design like every other car battery.

Fascinating, definetly good job 👍🏾
Amazing car
Bjorn, do you think you can get F150 for review?
It would be very interesting
No
@@bjornnyland Why? It is pretty unique car in Europe and officially sold in Norway.
Not available yet.
Which tires did you have on the car? Aren’t winter tires a legal requirement in Norway at this time of the year?
It was shown and mentioned at 14:50.
@@bjornnylandBut those are winter tires. So why were you saying that you it would be nice to have winter tires? I’m confused lol
@@bbpleghe trollin'
@@donpatricio1927 how so?
You know some people actually believe that winter tire joke 😂

i am interested in a durability test... how these cars look afters a one year use. ;-)
🤩
Doing more marketing than Nio. Well done lad. 👏 .
Love Nio cars but they need to up their marketing
NT3 platform of nio might fix the Lidar issue as it will be moved to the inside. so wipers keep it clean as well

Probably you should not accept cars with summer tires in winter, as I would like to see more videos from you in the future as well...
As you might see in the video, he has winter capable tires on it :D
Else he wouldn't be able to accelerate or brake that hard...
This is new rolling joke 😅 of course he has winter tires
He skipped or didn't understand 14:49 :P

The "R5" was the hint. Too bad many people don't know how awesome those tires are for proper winter.
If you want to know, if a car could perform in winter, you have to test it with summer tires!
Bad idea.
