Nio Phone Illuminates Hope for Nio Enthusiasts

Chinese electric automaker 

$NIO Inc.(NIO)$ has introduced a high-end smartphone designed to complement its electric vehicles. The Nio Phone offers more than 30 car-specific functions, including the ability to instruct the car to park itself and even drive to the owner's location, albeit at low speeds in certain areas of China.

This move by Nio highlights the company's ambition to build an ecosystem around its products, akin to what Apple has achieved with its devices and services. While creating such an ecosystem is challenging, if successful, it could bring substantial rewards.

Nio's CEO, William Li, expressed confidence that competitors would take note of their smartphone innovations. There are three Nio Phone models available at prices ranging from CNY 6,499 to CNY 7,499 ($890 to $1,030). Initially, the phone will be sold in China, with deliveries starting on September 28th.

Nio's endeavor to create a comprehensive ecosystem based on its electric vehicles is a noteworthy departure from the approach of some phone manufacturers who have ventured into the car market. Unlike these manufacturers, Nio is focusing on enhancing its existing product offering and creating added value for its customers. While it's a bold move, it could pave the way for significant opportunities if successfully executed.

This strategic shift suggests that Nio is prioritizing long-term growth and customer loyalty over short-term profitability. It demonstrates the company's commitment to innovation and differentiation in the highly competitive electric vehicle market.

As a bagholde.. ahem.. shareholder, I see Nio's efforts to build an ecosystem as a positive sign of the company's forward-thinking approach. While it's too early to predict the outcome, it's clear that Nio is willing to explore unconventional paths to secure a prominent position in the evolving automotive industry.

    Nio are taking their eye off the ball and diverting energy into an over-saturated smartphone market. Everything the phone is supposed to do should just be created in an app. Do you really see people leaving the Apple ecosystem for this? 🤣

      With Nio still making losses and burning cash rapidly, investors are jittery about debt

    NIO is going to retrace to $15 and keep going into a record ER on Nov. 9 on $3B plus in revs. The YoY comps are going to make the algo keep driving

    Dump the chart. None of the factors that will move NIO back to ATH by No is in there. Read the Chinese auto press. NIO is leading the global EV pack in design, technology and quality. Tesla is three years behind NIO.

    Nio is not cutting any corners...its going the full distance to be the very best in class across the entire EV, charging and mobile accessory sector. It may be painful for investors in the short term but no other EV company will be able to match Nio in 2 to 3 years. Rewards will be huge for the patient investor

    nice but $890 is way too expensive for a phone. they should start with a more realistic price point say $300.

    Nio is a car maker, if she launches mobile phone, she is going to lose $ for that trade.
    Using phone to instruct nio’s car, its only software, should be able to download on almost any phone. Or only handful of customer will buy and use it as a key for their nio car. Her investment on phone will fail, unless she has an outstanding OS (same as ios) and durable hardware same as iphone, then it will be a success.
