Following the halfway mark of the year, vibrant summer is approaching. In June, NIO achieved new milestones and continues to rise and shine. Let's take a look back together.

A @NIO doesn't get old, it gets better.
Right now, all our NIO cars in Europe gets better! One of the very key values of NIO is our FOTA capability. It means our cars on the street, with our users, don't get "old" they get better. The same philosophy is what is behind our battery swap functionality. It guarantees that you as a user always will have access to a healthy and fully functional battery, disregarding the "age" of your vehicle.
In todays update of our onboard Banyan system to version 230, all* our users in Europe will get added functionality, enhanced driving experience and not least now the first step of our journey on making smartens even smarter with the inclusion of NOMI GPT.

*FOTA updates of the Aspen system in our NT1 vehicles is also ongoing with some differences in functionality and features.
From this week's SAI Weekly (#41) in reference to NIO's 10% headcount reduction in order to get smaller (save costs) :
"With no end in sight for the price war and NIO continuing to struggle getting over the sales hump, it’s a positive sign that they’re willing to take more drastic measures to right the ship. They’ll also reconcile investments in non-core businesses to make sure they are focused on designing and building high-quality EVs.
This is really the first high profile company that’s taken these measures, although quite a number of them are (Aiways, WM and few others) are farther gone and close to the end of their rope."

With the substantial increase in sales driven by new models like the G6 and continuous enhancements in operational efficiency, XPENG's gross profit margin is expected to gradually recover.
We anticipate achieving a positive operational cash flow overall in H2 2023.

Nio attacks with its new flagship ET9 the premium market with interior experience as lounge chairs and light scenes, 900 V for fast charging, battery swapping and ADAS as leading-edge tech. Additionally, Nio has announced last week to purchase suspension systems from ClearMotion for 3 M vehicle, starting with the ET9 SUV in early 2025.
Champagne on the hood! Cheers, ClearMotion! You all recall the video with champagne glasses on the front hood from 2018? Here is a new one: https://lnkd.in/e4XW2gY8
I like the wedge rear of the ET9, as posted recently after LA Auto Show. Nio calls it sedan, for me it's the same as a Model Y, which is classified as SUV. What's your guess?
Nio claims to reduce motion sickness within ClearMotion, sure the smoother ride has its portion. But as R&D show the line of sight to the horizon is crucial, so let's check out the interior concept, or?
In fall 2022 Nio lead the round of 39 M USD and pulled the team out. (Factorial Energy moved in), as ClearMotion wants to work near its customers. Did the team go to China or Munich, Europe, any thoughts?
Nio's plans to come to US in 2025 are still not confirmed. So, we will see this first in China and Europe?

NIO has just raised the bar in product presentations. 🏆
Last Friday, during the NIO EC6 presentation for the Chinese Market, NIO held a quite unusual product presentation. Instead of, as done by most companies, having the CEO or VP of #Product diving deeper into the aspects of the new model, #NIO decided that — as a #usercentered company — it should have a different approach.
The launch event of the new Coupe SUV EC6 focused on having a NIO Fellow explaining NIO Users the different unique selling points of this new model guiding them through multiple scenarios along the video.

Here’s a 6min clip of the NIO EC6 event 👇
