NIO model renamed
NIO held the "NIO Berlin" in Berlin, Germany at 0:00 on October 8, Beijing time. Its main task is to release three models of ET7, ET5 and ES7 to the European market. But from the official website of NIO, we can see that NIO secretly changed ES7 to EL7. This temporary name change is likely to be related to the previous Audi suing NIO trademark infringement.
In June this year, according to German media reports, Audi filed a lawsuit in a Munich court, accusing NIO of infringing Audi's trademark rights. Audi said that the two models of NIO are named ES6 and ES8, which infringed the trademark rights of Audi S6 and S8. We should give this car brand from the east at the doorstep. This time, NIO released the same named series ES7, which was changed to EL7.
(domestic)
In fact, it is hard to say who is responsible for this matter. NIO has used the two models of ES6 and ES8 for not a year or two. This is the naming system when the models were launched, and there is no suspicion of being involved in Audi performance cars S6 and S8. In China, there are many similar namings for domestic brands, such as some models of Baojun , some models of Changan Oushang , etc., which are used to in China and have become a topic of ridicule.
But it is precisely because when domestic brands enter the global market, they ignore the importance and complexity of trademark and property rights protection, so they are sued and forced to change their names. Although Audi adopts normal prosecution procedures to maintain its own trademark, the reasons behind it may be diverse. It is worth savoring NIO at its doorstep.
Foxconn Model B official photo released
Although Foxconn is synonymous with "OEM factory" in Volkswagen's eyes, Foxconn's dream of making cars has never been interrupted. Many years ago, Foxconn founder and former chairman Terming Gou said at an internal meeting: "Apple car is just four wheels iPhone. Since we can build iPhone, why can't we build electric cars?" Now, its dream of making cars has come true.
On October 6, Hon Hai Group released the Foxtron Model B trailer video through its official social networking website account. Hon Hai Group said that Model B is a new model based on the Hon Hai electric vehicle open platform. It adopts the new generation of simultaneous simultaneous and aerodynamic body design. It will be officially announced on the annual Technology Day held on October 18. It is planned that the first batch of mass-produced cars will be put into production in 2023 and will be sold simultaneously in China, Germany and the United States.
This Model B is a hatchback in terms of body shape. The front of the car adopts a multi-layer design, and the through-type light strip has a light group design with a light speech function under the light strip, similar to the interactive lighting on the Gaohe car. There is a slender hole under the light group and an inverted trapezoidal air intake under the front of the car. It is very unique in terms of design.
From the side, the design of this car is similar to the Dolphin of BYD and the ID.3 models of Volkswagen, with the four-wheel and four-corner styling focusing on space advantages. Judging from the exterior rearview mirror, the new car is still in the state of a concept car.
At present, the official has not disclosed much specific information about Model B. It only knows that it is built on the MIH electric vehicle platform and the range will be around 500 kilometers. I look forward to more and more exciting news from this car at the press conference on the 18th.

MINI has always been a highlight, and many young ladies are very fond of. At present, the interior of the mass-produced version of ACEMAN has not been exposed. Referring to the interior of MINI CONCEPT ACEMAN, the new car may cancel the front dashboard of the driver's seat and adopt a single central control screen design similar to Tesla . The Pokémon mode, which appeared on MINI CONCEPT ACEMAN, conducted complex light effects demonstrations through the central control screen and the projection function in the car, is also a very anticipated highlight after the new car is mass-produced.
Currently, information about the mass-produced version of MINI ACEMAN is still relatively limited, and it may take some time for the new car to meet us.
