My robotic Eva is on the way!
My daughter loves having Nomi in our Nio ES8, so now we'll have a similar system in my OG 007GT!

Due to having the car for this period of time, I had a look over my charging records since I got the car.
I think I've recharged 3 times at public chargers in Beijing, and have recharged very occasionally during road trips, but as the car is quite economical, I haven't spent much there either. The rest of the time it's been at home. The additional 200RMB is what I liberally estimate I've spent charging outside of my home.
I've spent just short of 2500RMB to charge at home.
The yearly maintenance fee was roughly 500RMB. The caveats are that whilst my tyres and coolant are good for a good while, those haven't been changed so my estimate doesn't include those.
This result, along with having lifetime warranty for the battery, motors, and processing, just goes to show how good an investment this car was.
I've had my 007GT for pretty much 1 year now, and it's been a very reliable workhorse.
For the first few months, I was doing 150km each weekday (mostly highways but also rougher patches). That has since dropped substantially due to a change in how I work. I've also travelled around northern China, with my last trip going from Beijing to Hohhot.
Despite this being the most powerful model, carrying 2.5 people, a load of cargo, and not driving the most economically, I could have done the trip in a single go, but I recharged on the way due to toilet/snack breaks.
I do drive it pretty hard, and intend to keep doing so; it's a car, I'm not going to baby it. I am absolutely going to ensure that despite using it as a workhorse, it's going to be well maintained and last for years to come.
These pictures should help to demonstrate what this car looks like after a somewhat harder life over 20k KM. Yes, much of that has been on highways, but a decent chunk has also been exploring China on rougher terrain, doing a substantially better job off-road than my friend's Audi A4 Allroad.
I had a reply to my comment on another post, stating that many people are complaining about the jerky nature of disabling ACC/NZP. I do not know how many people actually encounter this issue, but for the sake of your cars, please read ahead.
They stated that they were using the brakes to disable it, which resulted in too much braking and that they were using the accelerator to cancel it out.
This is not the correct usage; the system treats this as emergency braking; as it should.
The correct way to cancel ACC/NZP is to move the stalk upwards once. This will cancel whichever system you're in.
It will only engage reverse if you're stationary.
Hi All,
I thought this was worth discussing, as I've been generally happy with it.
Although not as good as the support from Nio, I am happy with Zeekr's support. I do feel that Nio charge a premium for their better support services, with additional options to really ensure you don't have to worry. Zeekr charge less, and deliver less, but it's still good.
I'm about to go for a small roadtrip during the holidays to inner Mongolia, and I thought that having the 220v outlet in the boot would be nice use. I planned to use it more than I have done, I've just been a bit too busy.
I inteded to vacuum my carpets using that outlet but it kept tripping. I messaged my dedicated Zeekr contact to arrange them to collect the car, deliver it to the garage, and return it. Again, they're not as reliable as Nio, and did take some reminding, but they did what I requested.
On top of that, they replaced my Lidar cover (I didn't notice any issues), washed the car, and fully charged it before bringing it back home.
I've been working all day, so I haven't even noticed that it's gone.
It's nice to feel assured that the company is going above and beyond for their customers.
