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.
These are astounding claims.
If true, they represent a serious advance in battery tech.
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.
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.
The rear end looks like an 80’s Buick.
Either vaporware or unobtanium.

It’s funny how it is Illegal to watch TV, movies or use your phone hand held but, the Politicians and Cops are just fine with the amount of information coming at you from your dash board, mirrors and steering wheel.
Looks like they screwed up the steering wheel design as it’s not even round. Was the designer drunk or something?
The range is good, but LOTS of unanswered questions relating to the performance of the battery verses Lithium Ion:
1. Optimal charge rate and life impact of higher charge rates
2. Real cost of the battery (car looks cheap, but who knows if it’s being subsidized)
3. Cold and hot weather performance. Lithium Ions like California coastal weather and take hits when it varies. So how much does this battery vary and are there extreme cases where it’s unusable?
4. Safety - how susceptible to fires is it, how frequent?
5. Battery life versus Lithium Ion when operated under a controlled set of conditions.
6. Resources required to manufacture battery, including availability and whether some or most are only available in BRICS Countries (meaning countries sick of the Neocons/Globalists and having the power to tell the Neocon/Globalist-controlled countries to stuff it).
7. Charge/Discharge efficiency (probably not a big deal, but still a factor)
Other factors too, but this is a start.
China eating USA lunch and lunch money
USA falling behind on everything
Usa downfall has begun long time ago
I honestly don’t care about what the car looks like, I want to know the specs of the batteries.
And you play video games while driving
The Chinese are coming for TeslaHumper
