Forget Scheduled Heating, The Nio ET9 Can Shake The Snow Off Its Body
One of the features that come in handy in the life of an EV owner is the ability to preheat or precool the car's interior simply by scheduling the climate control system to do its job before a trip (or by tapping a few buttons on a smartphone app).
Tesla is particularly proud of its cars' ability to de-ice the windows before setting off for a drive and has at least one official video posted on its X account showcasing this feature. But what do you do when the car is covered in snow? The windows will be cleared but the doors might still be covered in the white stuff.
Well, Chinese EV maker Nio seems to have come up with a solution to this problem with a system that basically turns its flagship ET9 SUV into a four-wheeled, electrified puppy. As you can see in the video embedded below, which was initially posted by NIO on its official Weibo account and later reposted on X, the car can literally shake the snow off its body thanks to a trick chassis and a 900-volt architecture.
It's quite a sight to behold, and it's a testament to how far EV technology has come in the past 1-2 decades. Thanks to its bespoke architecture, NIO claims the ET9 can deliver a driving experience "akin to traveling on a flat surface" on bumpy roads. That's because its fully active suspension can modify the ride height and damping harshness almost instantly, a feature that was previously showcased by the Chinese automaker in a video showing the ET9 driving over speed bumps while carrying several glasses filled with champagne on the hood without spilling a drop.
The ET9 also has steer-by-wire and rear-wheel steering, much like the American Tesla Cybertruck, while the twin electric motors of the Chinese SUV make a total of 697 horsepower.
The Nio ET9 costs aroundUSD$113,000 in China with deliveries scheduled for the first quarter of next year.

103027647 : et 9too expensive now is focus with better product to compete with zeeker .cheap zeeker accelerate faster than et7 and many upgrades .nio should focus on why they losing sale rather try hard sell.buyer can compare what is value for money
bullrider_21 OP 103027647 : The ET9 sales will not be very good, but it can act as a "halo car". It will show that Nio has high technology and bring attention to the brand. The sales of the other models will increase.
103027647 : no point show off .li auto low end car already earn 4billion USD last year while nio high end lose 2-3billion usd.high end car hiphi already bankrupt and talent recruit by li auto
103027647 : nio heavy investment in high tech burn billion. and need so dilution every year for share to drop 50%a year while li auto up 100% a year .so dnt end up bankrupt like hiphi if like to burn cash in rnd.without dilution nio already bankrupt .so still can show off high tech useless .nio nearly bankrupt but save by Abu .else nio talent already recuit by li auto
103027647 : can see nio desperate raise cash last year .one quarter lost up to one billion .still heavily invest in swap .if first quarter 2024low sale also can lost on billion. especially most nio sale stolen by cheaper and more advanced zeeker might lower to test 5dollar support.first quarter 2024 be very bad due to low sale n high losses。even third quarter can sell 20k which is unlikely when zeeker sale expand quickly while nio drop also will report big loses
