This video was brought to you by Steinberg a better world planner Mr Green Camp power and Marcus Beale Thank you [Music] Yo what's up we're now sitting in a Neo Et5 and in this video I'm gonna give you Guys my impressions of the car after Just three days well actually more like 48 Hours yeah so unfortunately uh this 85 is in high demand so I could not Borrow it for more than those days but I Might just squeeze in Actually pretty much all the tests I Usually test we were lucky with the Weather with the weather so yeah So yeah Um First I should show you guys maybe I Just yeah I always show you guys this Gnome pilot if you go to driver Assistance Enable numi pilot and then Highlight is on Highlight is on Acc is on Uh yeah So um ACC is on You can also change how loud you want Nomi to be And then I think if you try to change Lane without Okay well you know
And also if you don't hold a steering Wheel I try to activate Autos there Pilot is not on Please try again later oh that was Interesting highlight is on yeah okay But you want to turn off that know Me pilot yeah So now you just get the ding dong Instead so that's uh slightly better But let me show another problem here With the Neopilot and neopilot is the autopilot Suite that involves some other stuff Well right now we're on straight roads So it's not that bad but actually you Can see it The I don't know what I should call it ping Pong yeah it goes like this all the time You can still steering wheel Okay now it bugs me about some stuff Here okay Because I'm not I don't want the whole Steering wheel I don't want to interfere With what the car is doing Some cars they they allow you to steer With you in the auto stair mode right For example e-tron or Cone or under the Korean cars on them But then for example Tesla it's always In control unless you to understand a Little bit then you disable auto stair Until you re-enable it again But just as I yeah
When once you break out of Autos there It will stay out of Auto stairs this one Will re-engage almost there You hear this ding dong all the stairs Off Ices on All this day off All this day on so that's just the way It works here But yeah so that's one problem is that The car does this Where the oscillation movement left and Right left it does it constantly but Especially In curves it tends to seek stack even More And also especially if you're going on Even higher speeds So once you notice it Uh it becomes a little bit annoying Or yeah Maybe in worst case you get a little bit Dizzy even But um another thing that the car does Actually every Neo I've tried and then Actually also Most Most Chinese cars yeah I'm not sure I'm Sorry if my brain is a little bit slower I haven't had much sleep for the past Two days because I've been super busy Testing this car but um Oh what the heck Yeah I just wanna
Oh oh I just want to see how it drives Oh man Sometimes super cringy But but it will also oscillate on the Throttle Meaning that Um If I look at the power meter Now power Output this world is fairly smooth but Now it says 25 kilowatt 31 kilowatt 23 kilowatt 30 kilowatt 21 a 22 kilowatt 30 kilowatt 20 so it keeps You can feel it actually Okay what the heck It keeps doing that constantly when you Have either Auto or steer on which or Just the adaptive cruise control so I don't know what's up with that just The way Asian drivers drive actually but Um so do you have the then this motion You know versus plus this motion at the Same time Yeah and you can imagine when I drive 1 000 kilometer challenge I have to drive For a At least eight nine hours and it's doing That thing constantly You can say oh just turn it off well but On on typical motorways like this I want To have it on it's very convenient for
The car to drive for me there's not much Action going on anyway So I keep repeating this every time I Have the chance and every time you guys Are interested to know what the authors There or the other autonomous systems Work and Uh It's I wouldn't say it's bad well actually Okay it is bad that sometimes I forgot Yes uh But there is room for improvements to Say it like that yeah I don't want my Social score to drop too much I'm just Kidding but yeah there is definitely Room for improvements Um also it does weird all the time When it comes to merges or other places I've seen even worse that on mergers Suddenly it just without blinking Without warning change is over to the Other lane So yeah and also this uh the news they Also want to break You get pretty much everything in here Um yeah I'm not sure if I can catch it But I've experienced it many many times During a 1 000 kilometer challenges with Different cars kneels in the past I Think this one also el7 they do the same Thing Um when I'm in the left lane And I'm about to pass another car in the
Right lane It will many times say watch out for Merging vehicles Even though for example this Q4 over Here does not want to merge or it's not Even remotely close to the middle line Here But then there are sometimes yes when The especially trucks they they go a Little bit close to the middle line then The system reacts like it should right Anticipating that there might be a merge But many many times the other car is not And then it does it so that's a bit Annoying but when it comes to Phantom Breaking this car It doesn't break that hard and it Doesn't break nearly as hard as Tesla Tesla is the worst when it comes to Phantom braking brakes really hard And sometimes quite often But it depends yeah so um let me just Say now Uh what's the time okay it's 4 50 in the Morning So I want to see what happens in the Merger when we are behind the truck Oh this one should be fine yeah since The yeah actually the car seems to Struggle once we have Not so well defined lines oh I should Have been over there those those lines Were somewhat washed out But okay now that I started with the bad
Things because on the stretch there I Wanted to demonstrate that But what about the good things about This car there must be something good With it right yes it is there is so for Example um Uh the ride is Surprisingly good Okay what what the competitors do we Have we have uh Hyundai ioniq 6 similar Class similar size is a little bit Longer Price similar also and they are both of These are like I don't know what we Should call them sedan sport sedan or Something but it's not SUV Uh but and also it's not a short Hatchback it's more than yeah you know And then other competitors Tesla Model 3. And I guess also expand p7 those are the Four cars I remember right now that has Or are in the same segment and also in The same price range So oh by the way it the car tends to Slow down really really early So I have to always change lane really Early also and the following distance if It is even set to uh yeah the shortest Following distance But yeah so compared to the other cars I Just mentioned now how is this one the Ride here I claim is the best of the the Other cars uh way better than model 3
Model 3 has a bit harsh ride And um uh ionic six is close yeah to This one But I still claim that the ete5 is the Best hole Take it easy guys I hope you guys have Hearing protection yeah otherwise you'll Be deaf by the time you finish exam Yeah so Um the ride here like feels so premium So comfortable It just it's not the demonstrate maybe It goes over bumps In a gentle way there is a little bit of Like wagging like this Tesla be like oh You know more like this Yeah to demonstrate what happens Uh the the p7 Uh expect by the way X-Men p7 Um I haven't driven it that much lately But what I remember it it didn't feel The same as this so Um That's the right Comfort sound proofing Then I'm not sure it seems like maybe The I only 6 is better I have to look at The data I just recorded the data now With this card the et5 but there ionic 6 And the et5 might be similar but then Tesla is a little bit behind And then when it comes to the p7 Also pretty good So there Tesla is the weakest one when It comes to soundproofing
And what else acceleration This thing here accelerates like a boss It it does 0 to 100 in I measured actual Measurement is three points eight Seconds roughly So it's actually a slightly faster and Spec is supposed to be four seconds And then it puts this roughly on the Same level as model 3 long range with Acceleration boost but this one is Faster and long range Normal long range but not as fast as Performance And then versus Hyundai Ionic fibers we don't even talk about Ionic it's not that fast really and then Also p7 uh nah so this one is the Fastest from what I remember now yeah Correct me if I'm wrong yeah well except For if you don't count the monetary Performance But when it comes to efficiency It's not the bus it's the rust okay That's very good I mean that's another Adjustable by the way I don't know if You're seeing the camera Wait can you see it yeah but not just The bus with a freaking trailer With an extent a generator behind it oh Oh what the heck is a lid just oh It's not even safe it's not legal A lid just flapping flapping around like
That man But when it comes to what Damn they just pee and They pee right by the road there okay I would at least try to seek some Privacy before IP in the bush but okay But when it comes to consumption The et5 Is possibly the thirstiest I'm not sure Whether it's the et5 or the the p7 both Of them are quite thirsty the all-wheel Drive versions Uh like Uh just yeah and then and then we have Um uh ionic six fairly efficient but Then the most efficient is Tesla Tesla at 120 kilometers per hour Consumes about the same as the et5 at 90 Kilometers per hour just to put things In perspective how uh well actually to Be honest how thirsty this car is Because I think also this is Thursday Than than BMW I4 from a Time member also what the Heck man I hope you guys not going to Orlando Otherwise I have to come and yell at you Holy crap Okay hold I don't know maybe maybe it caught it on The camera I think maybe the camera was Shaking from the base the hole in Macaroni But okay anyway with me back and look at
Something more interesting here So yeah that's just how it is when it Comes to joining speed uh this car it Has the 100 kilowatt hour battery from Neo it doesn't charge that fast I Peak 125. it's supposed to have 140 kilowatt And never ever experienced that 125 and Then eventually 120 and then yeah it has Fairly flat core though but I heard that The new 100 kilowatt hour battery from Neo will charge way faster it Peaks at 660. I'm thinking huh oh what the heck Holy crap is a humongous party over There [Music] They better not make a noise I have to check afterwards if my Daughter woke up or not it's five in the Morning now or at night Yeah but um So when it comes to charging The Neo is not that great really it's Et5 uh Tesla Chargers Almost roughly twice as fast same with Ionic six twice as fast and then Xbox p7 Well now the new one will charge at 175 Kilowatt so Yeah the et5 here is the slowest for now Until they can implement Better batteries and then you could just Swap it and get the better battery right That'll be great But I'm still not sure if they if for Example all the cars can automatically
Unlock more power I guess it depends but the battery has a Thermal system and then as long as you Swap it for the new one then you should Get get Faster charging but it could also depend On on the thermal Management on the car If the car doesn't have strong enough Cooling for something I'm not sure maybe You can't get the maximum speed so this Is something we just have to test once It's ready And of course the good thing about the NEOS is that eventually you can get the 150 kilowatt hour battery also so even The old NEOS can certainly just you Change the the bus subscription and then Boom you have 150 kilowatt hour battery Yeah awesome Except for that when they mention their Efficiency Um yeah here you see how smooth the ride Is oh man Uh when I imagine the efficiency Um Tesla Model 3 long range that has Only 82 kilowatt hour battery versus 100 Here the Tesla has better range because It's way more efficient Yeah So it's like this car is like The the fat e-trons Chinese cousin yeah Something like that Chinese sedan cousin Is so thirsty like a neutron but it's so Comfy also like a neutron you know you
Know what I mean I try notice be like oh Yeah now you're gonna go to the vegan Area Speed bumps and test and also around Orlando we have lots of potholes and Shitty tarmac I can demonstrate to you How smooth this ride is oh this is Oh yeah what is that hydrogen oh it's a Hydrogen Taxi Damn Okay Let me see uh how do I get out of here Okay I have to go here I have to go There camera oh it's nice and a high Resolution 360 camera lots of cool Features Uh yeah when it comes to Features by the Way is Neo They You know okay for example ionic six Very traditional design we have I'll try To explain what I only 6 looks like well Let me just drive over these bumps first You're waiting for it okay return oh boy You know I almost forgot I'm supposed to Go diagonally see how it works sideways Oh oh nice okay but yeah ionic six has Some buttons down here traditional Buttons right Um and then a screen that is roughly Half the size maybe even less than half The size of this screen And traditional instrument cluster Traditional buttons for adjusting
Steering wheel and stuff over here or Something like that that's ionic six This one is more Tesla look Tesla had it For a long time and then some other car Manufacturers they actually tend to move Also towards the way Tesla do it like Here we don't have Um there's electronically adjusted Errands you see no manual air once Uh it's not only tested by the way uh Porsche trican has it also So I'm actually a fan of this new Interface like this because it makes it Cleaner but also if you want to adjust The the event over there for some reason Can you do it normally But you can do it within the screen you Just go here and then you can start Adjusting well I think it's on how to Have to change some of the stuff here uh And then well nothing is working for me Today show that you can do this you can Do this you can you know Tesla style Yeah but then let me switch to Auto Again Okay let me start driving also But man this thing is a beast when it Comes to speed See here Oh Oh it has that little delay though It doesn't have that in instant neck Snapping torque like Tesla but It goes fairly quick and it
You know but I feel like it's a little Bit soft yeah on around the racetrack I Would probably have a Tesla Well when it comes to her race I was Being a racetrack Um Did I mention wait wait I forgot to use Tearing I wasn't sure where I'm supposed To go but let's go over here with them This thing here weighs 2 300 and 40 kilograms I think it's quite heavy Compared to Tesla that weighs only 1 900 1 800 kilograms So we're talking about around 400 Kilograms of extra Meat somewhere I don't know Chinese meat Yeah But but Um what else seeds Here we have massage seats we have seat Ventilation the seeds are a little bit Firmer than for example model 3 seats Uh but I I think they're really good and You can also adjust the whatever it's Called again you know the the Over here the thing that goes out for People with long legs they're good to Support So the seats are really good steering Wheel is good we have ambient light the Design is pretty good we have soft Materials here Soft materials many places interior wise I think this looks and feels more
Premium there are only six And trying to give you guys As much info as possible A bit purposely run over a pothole maybe But at low speed at low speed Oh yeah Man The roads around Oliver they are so Shitty what happened to road maintenance Budget in Oslo huh oh I need to run away From Oslo and move over to yesim that's Another municipality but this car just Soaks all the bumps really really well So it's more like Comfort level very Good sportiness You know not as good as Tesla for Example what the heck man It's just they have a little party over Here I didn't Wasn't planning on coming here to look At them I was just doing my driving test But well let me just check my oh holy Crap what the heck man I was about to say dude they have some Kind of moose party over here well it's A rooster party Wait they are remarkably quiet I think It's because Um politicize probably being here yeah It must have been here The heck But yeah since you see there expand p7 Let me show you Yeah okay whatever that is not too
Important but when it comes to money Maneuverability is that the word It's also quite easy we have a round Steering wheel we have stocks Um and also what I'm going to show you Here if you if you enable reverse first Very easy to just do that and then you Go drive then you get the 360 camera and It works forward also so some cars I Don't remember which car it was once you Put the coin in drive again it the the Camera will immediately disappear but Here it stays on and you see you can Then announce that the car is Transparent in this place that's pretty Cool so it makes it really easy to What the heck is that smell I think it Smells bad shitty diesel but it makes it Really easy to park within the Lines Within the square so I love the 360 Camera here you can do a lot of here you Can also do the the adjustment for Mirrors Yeah okay okay but whatever um we go out To this one It smells It smells exhaust here because those Guys are idling and they're so when it Comes to filtering by the way you get Every okay oh okay um I did mention the Peeing and stuff right yeah but when it Comes to filtering seems like the the Carbon filter here is not good at all I smell everything from outside in here
Also So but the same goes for other the other Cars I also mentioned they don't also Don't have that great filtering let me Get out of here man okay Um Cheat But you see now how it works in typical Urban situation when you just drive Around and it's a damn sexy car I don't Know if you saw the butt on this car It's just Yeah okay let me get out of here So there is a lot of stuff to like about The et5 when I tried it wait what are You guys gonna huh [Music] Where are they going I'll just wait for them to um We're the only sober guy is the driver Well that trade what they all have these Massive trailers holy crap man okay Let's get over here Oh oh I have no can hook up with the R5 Tires they are not that grippy that's Why the wheels spin a little bit but the Car allows a little bit of wheel spin I like that oh I like the way Neo has Set up the car's suspension and and ride And and the way they set up the traction Control to not limited too much okay When you I tried a couple of times when You um Let me see if I can demonstrate it we do
This at night when there's less traffic But if I do something like this and then Okay there are situations where Um I think like this You floor it okay okay actually it did Give power okay okay but there are some Situations where the car knows that it Doesn't have enough traction and then When I floor it it limits it but you saw Now that when I try to just have a Little bit of fun you can have a lot of Fun And also when it comes to here we have Dry mode you can have it in the presets Comfort equals Point Comfort Eco Sport Plus and you can also go custom I Mean it disappears way too fast and if You go custom here you can choose Acceleration how fast you want it you Wanted it before second it's actually 3.8 4 seconds 5.9 seconds 7.9 seconds is 9.9 second or 12.9 seconds which is the Leaf equivalent and then we have regen Breaking when you have a very low low Standard and then steering mode Comfort Standard steady and then climate control Eco and standard so these are the Parameters and you can just customize Them but I think there are a little bit Of restrictions once if you want to use The most power let me see here Uh or is it if you go for the if you go For the slowest one Or maybe maybe on this one yeah maybe on
This Neo there is no uh limitation yeah There's actually no limitation here in The in the in the el7 and the es8 then It locks you in some um it will actually Go in the some some harder suspension Mode it doesn't allow you to go in the Comfort suspension when you want to have The best acceleration probably because Those SUVs they are a little bit both But here you already have nice firm Um low ride so you don't have to worry About that let me see I don't want to Set it back to the way I like it I like Of course the maximum acceleration Always region I wanted to have it Standard as strong as possible steering Mode I prefer Comfort not the steady it Feels a little bit heavier But what that is said by the way comfort In steering here feels very nice and Light like other NEOS also and I like it Like this I don't want to use too much Effort into steering but it actually Feels even lighter than Tesla because I Remember yesterday yeah yesterday When I jump into the model 3 and I start Steering I was like oh it's a little bit Heavier on the model 3 Performance so Model 3 is probably something like Standard in this one or maybe even the Steady which is the stronger heavier Steering so but I prefer it don't have It like this and then save it so that's Pretty cool that you have all these
Settings also there's supposed to be oh Yeah this one it has also let me see it Has a snow mode yeah and an Eco plus uh But um this one does not have the the Wait does it have the heel descent mode But it doesn't have the the off-road Mode naturally and then you have to go For the SUVs new variants but let me Check here if I go to this one wait what Is that lag man Uh maybe uh just me if you go to driving I'm over here because this road here Does not doesn't have very much traffic Right I was looking for driving Yeah this one okay I'm not sure it Doesn't have it it doesn't have heal Descent mode But I think you're not supposed to go Off-roading with it but also I should Mention by the way if you go here Wait okay sorry here you have lots of Settings here uh you you can go to my Et5 you have some stuff here for battery For consumption you have manually Battery warning warm-up you have Automatic battery heating uh lots of Features when it comes to Windows charge Port uh this car by the way Yeah I show you it has um soft clothes As the only car in this price range Like I mentioned Tesla and ionic and you Know pieces they don't have soft clothes This one has soft clothes but this car Also has automatic uh unhanged where is
It again I think it's under uh driving Right Tow hitch Extend just listen And you can see it now Yeah we have erected the trailer And then if I can do this quickly Uh I think I did it too fast I was I was About to retract the tow hitch Yeah I could see it barely when it Disappeared But it has all the money fully automated Tow hitch normally just German Premium Electro Autos have it this Chinese car has it huh Yeah okay are we done now But okay what I would say is that uh Yeah so you have have been copy you have You have also uh perfume here Uh well they have something called Ionizer I'm not sure how good that one Is but but you have so many settings you Can do all the stuff here um Driver Assistance or okay you have Autos There all that some of that is good Super nice is not that good no me voice Assist one thing I don't like by the way With know me is that okay now she's Listening hey numi This is also weird by the way it's not Consistent because no me right now is Not wearing the headset uh but I turn Off no me if I turn on no me
Hey no me Never mind Sure See you later yes kid but now if I turn Off no me I think normally she will wear the Headset yeah now she wears the headset So it's just me I know that okay I'm Gonna turn off so now when she's off so That's good but um Many other cars Even if you turn off voice control I Tend to turn them off because uh when I Review cars and I say yeah and then you Know it is nice and this Mercedes Necessarily it triggers the hey Mercedes Right so that's why I turn off voice Control and so they don't listen or the Wake Up Sound But I can always use the button for Voice control to do something like hello BMV what is the current elevation here And then it will tell me right even if The voice control is off here on the Other hand when you want to activate Voice control manually you do this hold It down and then it says no me is not Listening so I have to turn on no me in Order to use this one on demand Yes so let me turn her off Okay yeah so just a little uh Thing after testing so many cars I I Become aware of lots of yeah other Things that differences between cars and
And like like I mentioned you know I Like the way it works with the other Cars I mentioned and I don't like the Way it works here but some people might Disagree with me they say oh I want to Turn off voice control then I want it Off regardless if or if I accidentally Press the button to activate it or not But okay So either way I just keep driving But uh Hello if you consider these sedans if You want one of these cars you if you're Interested you don't want the SUV right I'm also not an SUV guy Well actually maybe also BMV I4 is one Of one competitor yeah I guess it is It's also a similar class Maybe a little bit more expensive I'm Not sure or it depends could be similar Price also yeah but actually five cards Then not four but if you want one of These cars Um I think the the Neo this et5 is the most German Chinese car you can get over there yeah It's really really good in many ways Like when I sat in here and start Driving I was super impressed of how They they managed to build this car it Is and if I had to choose between the Et5 and ionic 6 I'll take the et5 any Day because the ioni 6 feels a little
Bit cramped you know just small things Like you see here my knees when I when I'm just move my knees under here with The under the steering column whatever You call it the I only 6 is really Cramped there and the ioni6 they they Try to make it Um clean they have their their language Right they design language whether those Squares a lot of those squares All over the place But it screams cheap plastic here at Least It they don't have to eat like kneel They don't have to prove anything right It just looks and feels better in my Opinion yeah You might disagree but yeah where should I go now uh I'm not sure where I'm Supposed to go actually I don't want to End up over there I'm going to go over Here no actually I'll change mine let me Go a little bit on the city streets yeah So Um but I guess the biggest downside Again people will be like ah Bush watch LOL you want to go for a Neo uh I only Charges way faster well Can the ionic charge you 90 within six Minutes huh because the et5 can battery Swap and spoiler alert 1 000 kilometer Challenge this et5 is the fastest ever Tested EV yeah okay we don't count the E Power because that's fossil but this is
The fastest EV beating everything on the Market on one thousand kilometer Challenge because it could battery swap I did it twice but I also had to fill up With some charging in between but the Charging stop is really quick roughly Five to eight minutes only So uh and then we still don't have the 150 kilowatt hour battery yet but you See even this thirsty beast is the Fastest of them all because it has Battle swap so then it boils down to how Wow I'm just very impressed with how the Car just rides over the speed bumps and The ship the roads but even Even because I mean even though this car Is one the thirstiest maybe I'm not sure If it's beaten by the p7 or not but even That thirstiness is counted with battery Swap yeah but then we just have to have Enough battery drop stations that's it Then it will make sense Okay breaks also But yeah it doesn't have the one pedal Drive yeah if you're like oh you don't Have one Pilgrim note you see here I Drive right towards the park car and Then Well almost no almost and then it just Slides and if I don't intervene then it Would crash into the Mercedes yeah But but okay so yeah it doesn't have That one all right fine but it's still It
The 87 is so good in many ways guys like I I like it a lot that's what I'm saying If they can just nail the software that It's doing the Autos there you know I Don't know if you guys already know but I have to mention again that the design Studio for Neo is invention Or you know Munich Deutschland Germany And I bet they have a bunch of Germans There designing everything the seeds the Suspension The the Interior right so the Germans They do the master work like oh yeah And then they ship the car over to China And then and then Chinese Engineers do The software for Autos there they've Been ah all this there you have to go Like this Oh [Music] Um Because that's how Chinese people drive Apparently Yeah but if they're not just nail the The pilot system they autopilot whatever They call it neopilot oh then it's going To be game over yeah Because even today when I took my wife And kid to just saying for a trip and we Had some dinner I felt the whole zigzag and wifey didn't Complain but if I ask her she might Probably mention that oh yeah the car is Not driving as smooth as an eqs or a
Tesla I'd be like yes I know Yeah So yeah But what else is it to say man Also when I mentioned I um I mentioned Ionic six ionic six has more traditional Approach on interior buttons screen user Interface I only six by the way has Really old-fashioned way of User menus and you have freaking icons Like just like an eagle from 2016 you Have icons and then you enter an icon You enter this that Apple screen or Whatever charging screen or navigation Screen or whatever and then you go into Uh a menu and then you go it's super Clumsy the way ionic6 works it's It might have been an old-fashioned way Of doing things but here is more modern You have a big screen you have Navigation here you have music here you Can do some swipe here you want to have Consumption you want to swipe over to Tire pressure you know uh and in the Menu it's like this uh very well Organized with stuff and also uh yeah I Don't know This Looks and feels better and it's way Easier to use than the other I change I Changed my mind all the time I'm trying To figure out because yeah I look Confused now because I am actually Confused because I don't have a fixed
Route when I take these trips these Driving tests whatever you should call It but I try to highlight things as I go And there's just so much stuff I can Talk about and you can say ah but you Should organize this video better well It's more as like we just take a trip Together and you you just want to Interview me hey what do you think about This car car and as we sit here together And talk and drive I remember things and Yeah yeah and then you ask me okay oh How is the how is the stereo system I'll Be like oh the stereo system oh When it comes to stereo this is a weak Point here Um I feel like okay people have Different taste I guess for for how Stereos are supposed to sound like the Base is is nice and Powerful almost a Little bit overwhelming But at certain frequencies especially Low frequencies it triggers a weird A weird rumbling You know it's supposed to be like if you Turn off the volume it will be first it Would be like But then as louder you go you suddenly Get Something like that right When I look in the trunk there is a A cover for the subwoofer subwoofer in The trunk by the way On the on the beneath a lower not on the
Side but on the lower part right Where typically a Tesla would have that Well the way they have to have equipment In there so that's where the subwoofers And there is a cover of I don't know What kind of if there's some if there's A apply wood or some composite Cover a plate that covers it but and Then the plate is stick stick to the or Stuck to the or I mean attached to the To the subwoofer with some velcro the The plastic types you know the one that Yeah Um And I suspect that it's that plate that Hits a certain resonance Uh thing and then they start vibrating Yeah but first I suspect the main Specific suspect was Um Uh the partial shelf but I don't think So but unfortunately I haven't been able To test this properly because I have Very limited time and I Didn't have much sleep in the past few Days But yeah so but sound system Okay the base has this red rumbling Maybe or maybe there's a it's a blown Speaker but you usually if it's a blown Speaker you will hear it for throughout The whole Spectrum not at certain Frequencies Um
But also that sound in general doesn't Sound as clear as many of the other Systems Tesla sounds better They just lack a little bit of Soundproofing so that ruins some of the Sound experience when you're driving But this car lacks detail locks the Stereo Perspective it sounds a bit muffle Uh at least the way I experience it So and also the base was not linear it Seems to have some Peaks here and there So sound system not the best but for Some people they like it like if you're A rooster Yeah okay great yeah Okay I think I should go home now Because it's getting early not late it's Getting early but um Oh Space Wise by the way Uh when it comes to trunk space I did The banan Box test this evening yeah Last last evening and the trunk space Is not that great one of the Well actually All these cars they don't have great Trunk space because it's not the Hatchback What are they well actually the BMV I4 Is a hatchback yeah the only one all the Other guys all the other cars they have This I don't know what to call it they Said on little drunk opening but the
Tesla is the best there because they Have the space under the trunk which Actually Helps a lot when you have baby stroller In there you fall semi-fold the baby Stroller to make it quick in and out and With this car it struggles a little bit To put everything in there in Tesla it's A dream just don't In ionic six also a little bit Struggling but I feel like I only 6 has Better Space but then That's trunk space when it comes to Space for occupants in the rear then This one is actually better than Tesla Because the et5 is a little bit taller Roughly five centimeters taller Than the Tesla Model 3. So that should also mean the Headroom Yeah by the way Headroom I'm plenty a Headroom here that's also one thing I Don't like about I ionic6 is that it Feels so low and I don't feel Comfortable when I sit in there when my My seat versus my my steering wheel and Everything just Here it is great glass roof plenty of Headroom I sit comfortably with the Steering wheel and send to console and Everything is yeah I like it a lot but I should mention that this stuff here is It depends it's it's individual you Might not like you might not like it you
Might not fit in here you might like an Ionic five better or a Tesla so yeah Ergonomically I I would almost say that I like the et5 Better than Tesla but Tesla has other Qualities like when it when it's really Cold Tesla just kicks ass for the Lord Because of off the wall And and Tesla's technology so Um But also I should mention that Neo they Also build Motors and Suspension they have lots of components They also build in-house Maybe that's why it's so good because They've been built and tuned to work Very well together But but still my claim is that Tesla is Still the best EV Technically the best when it comes to The way they have engineered everything In Tesla Motors drivetrain inverters And even down to the cell level battery Packs and and also infotainment Everything has been tailored and and Refined over so many years and the the Core the heart of the EV which is the The electric drivetrain battery Motors Everything on Tesla Uh after testing so many years my claim Is that they are the best in this Comparison Um but the Comfort the ride the
Ergonomics the features like massage Like like the seats there I think uh Neo Et5 is the best Yeah So um You can already see now that we might Have a winner or it might be a shared uh First place I have to drive with her It's so shitty roads here So he found the truth Et5 and model 3 there on top I can't Decide Maybe I could just have both of them Just like you know You can have two wives right now that's That's the thing you cannot have two Wives you have to choose between one Girl or another but with cars you can Have uh 10 is this this was a plan 1020 HP it says yeah But yeah So The et7 is Like it gets on the top list there with All Thai favorite cars I've ever tested Along with model 3 of course and then When it comes to Ionic six I was a little bit Disappointed in many things with ion 6. It was a very hyped up car but uh felt Cramped in there And the infotainment use interface Old-fashioned not flexible Um
You have to dig into menus to find stuff You know And then the p7 okay I need to spend More time with p7 But yeah so the sun is coming up now 5 30 in the morning yeah so I I should go Home but yeah this was a very long video I felt like I had to vent out My frustration about the Neo pilot but Also to I wanted to bring out the world That that this et5 man it's not the Tesla killer absolutely not people who Want to buy Tesla they will buy Tesla It's not ionic killer people who want to Buy Island ionic they still will buy Ionic but people who are not sure those Guys you should really try Neo You will be impressed there's a high Chance you would be really impressed of This et5 So um Yeah and I'm not saying this just to Increase my social uh score But uh put inside put it size here yo What's up let me see Let's let's talk the police and see what They're doing And why are they here by the way are They here to control the noise or are They here to uh find people But um yeah so um Wow where do these people get the energy From the party or night but um I think that's it I think I said enough
Now but um is there anything else I want To tell you guys is there something else You guys want to know Um Now I think that's it price pricing by The way it's very similar on these cars Yeah by the way I have to mention that About 90 of people who buy Neo they Would go for bus Which is the renting or Battery and then in Norway that is Actually a great Advantage because from 2023 you get tax on EVS now there is a Weight tax they say you you start adding Weight tax for anything that is heavier Than 500 Kilograms so that means that Even a Zoe gets a weight tax now uh Until 2023 Um EVS they were totally tax-free Totally vat free but not anymore you had A weight component and Um you also get a vit component if the Price of the car costs more than 500 000 Anything higher than 500 000 gets 25 vit On it Um So you can see that this the advantage With this car is that you you buy the Car but you don't buy the battery so you Avoid that tax oh cool practical example I was in drive by the way I was not in Reverse or anything okay Um oh cool The the 360 camera temporarily popped up And now it disappeared again nice
But because boss then you avoid that vit Part because the car doesn't become too Expensive But because it's kind of heavy then you Get some extra weight tax Tesla has the Advantage of this light so they have Less weight tax for example yeah so but The boss I should mention it by the way Is a really good deal because you pay 2 000 Nook or roughly 200 Euros per month For the 100 kilowatt hour bus Subscription but then you also get 200 Kilowatt hour free charging or battery Swap to battery swap or whatever or Whatever you want So the bus is highly recommended that's What nine I think around 90 of the Buyers go for anyway Um And Yeah it's different it's this is the the Whole Neo uh How they said the whole Neo ecosystem is Completely different than the other cars Simply because they have battery swap And that you can rent it and you don't Have to swap you can just buy the car You can either buy the car and buy the Battery also Uh or you can actually just buy the car Rent the battery but you never swap it Yeah but then the car charges a little Bit slow maybe you can wait and then you Swap it when you get the new generation
Battery or something like that but you Can also just drop it of course you get Too swap for free anyway so it wouldn't Make any sense to not swap when you can Right but the police is just there oh With the blue light with the constant Blue light on it's like we are here Don't try to do anything funny yeah Don't make any noise because Tesla Bjorn Lives here yeah so no but I gotta go Home now so um yeah they're just hanging Out there to police is a police guy and A police woman Man damn I don't know what's up with me When I look when I see a police woman I'd be like oh arrest me cough man woman Just kidding okay okay But uh yeah so um Holy oh I have to show you guys they Have can you see that wait I'll show you Guys this they have three Honda Generators EU 70 Uh it says EU 70 Is three of those They don't play shop over here Oh But okay Um yeah the video was about Neo but I Just had to bump into the ruse but um so Yeah uh Quick takeaway highly recommended car Really yeah just check out this one if You are in the if you're interested in
Cars in this this price range segment Really is Good yeah that's all I need to say now I've got to go home and get some sleep And then in a couple hours I have to Return this car Okay okay let me just uh stop over here Like I always do in front of focus cable Even though uh or Texas Burger I mean Texas Burger yeah Wait what That's it [Music] One last thing by the way this car does Not have head display all right okay I Forgot to mention that ionic six has had To play okay fine and also a strange Thing is that here It doesn't have wireless charging Which is strange because the el7 Is also based on the same Robots the same center console I wonder The same screen you know but the el7 has A wireless charging here Oh I found it it's off Of course that's Viola charging Now it works yeah it's just I couldn't Find it in the beginning okay and then You get this one but but um my point is That okay I was not looking but Sometimes to be honest sometimes I get Lost in the translation because there Are so many settings here and you're
Trying to find something you have to Scroll and yeah maybe sometimes not Everything is in the right category that You think because you have so many Things here right for example fragrance Where do you put it do you put it on the Way HVAC or do you put it under Um cabin Comfort there is a cabin Comfort here that has a leaf as an icon You have ionizer here ACD deodorization But fragrance is here on the HVAC so Yeah that's also one thing there's so Many settings there you you can Sometimes get lost and you might not be Able to find what you're looking for but It is there hidden somewhere but at Least it's it's if I just spend a little Bit more time actually reading what Everything in here says then I would Have found it yeah my bad it was my Mistake but at least you don't have Multi-layer menus to find stuff so That's that's good with this system so Anyway Um I think that's going to be it for now I hope you guys enjoyed this video as Always thank you for watching and talk To you later
Electric City Vehicles Are Changing the Way Cities Drive
Tesla
With more and more electric vehicles hitting the road, many franchise car dealers are making major investments in EV inventory. They understand that EV sales aren’t yet high, but that the market is shifting fast. EVs have fewer moving parts than gasoline-powered vehicles, so they’re easier to maintain. They also drive more smoothly and cost less to operate, so they’re great for city driving.
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV)
The most popular EVs use rechargeable batteries that free your drive from fossil fuels. The power for recharging can be drawn from the local electricity grid or generated by onboard electric motors using renewable sources such as wind and solar energy. Electric cars are more efficient than their gasoline-powered counterparts and produce fewer emissions.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV)
PHEVs combine an onboard internal combustion engine with a battery pack that can be charged from the electric grid. This allows owners to drive on regular gas and still enjoy a limited range of pure battery-electric power. This makes them great for commuters who want to limit their emissions without major lifestyle changes.
Expert assessments vary, but trading out a national fleet of gasoline-powered cars for EVs will require more electricity than before. Some estimates show that it could increase global demand by up to 25%. However, overall energy consumption and emissions would decrease because the energy needed to refine fossil fuels will be lower. As a result, the switch to EVs is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and other pollutants significantly.
