An industry insider said the popularity of the Nio ET5 is very similar to the China-made Tesla Model 3 when it first became available.

The pre-order deposit for the Nio ET5 is RMB 2,000. It is worth noting that this deposit is refundable at any time, and the deposit paid by consumers will be non-refundable when the model begins to officially accept reservations and lock in orders.

Those who pay the RMB 2,000 deposit to pre-order the ET5 today will receive a free Moon-themed exterior design package worth RMB 4,500 and orange calipers worth RMB 3,500.

The benefits are available for a limited time and Nio will announce the end date for them in the future.

Existing Nio owners, including those who have paid a deposit, will also enjoy exclusive benefits if they purchase the ET5 after obtaining delivery.

For ES8 Founding Edition owners, they will receive 50,000 Nio Credits after purchasing ET5 and getting delivery, which is equivalent to RMB 5,000 and can be used to shop at Nio Life online mall.

For non-ES8 Founding Edition users, they can get 30,000 Nio Credits after purchasing ET5 and getting delivery.

The first owner of the Nio ET5 has the following benefits:

10-year unlimited mileage warranty.

Free battery swap for life, up to 6 times per month.

Lifetime free in-car internet connection.

Free exclusive home charging pile.

Lifetime free roadside assistance.
