The seven-seater Tesla rival, Li Mega, can also have a table mounted in the centre, turning the car into a living room.
Li says that the Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) is completely adaptable and can also be turned into a cinema, a study, a bedroom or even a warehouse.
Car fan and lifestyle vlogger Shu Xu said that the new motor could be a nightmare for Elon Musk's Tesla.
Writing on TikTok, he said: "This Chinese EV is Tesla's nightmare.
"The second row turns around and creates a living room, it even comes with a table that mounts directly to the floor.
"And if you get tired, it has a zero gravity lounge chair mode to relax in. It has 400 miles of all-electric range and sells for 500,000 Yuan ($70,000)."
The Li Mega was first unveiled in China back in 2024, and customers first received orders for the car a year later.
The vehicle is jam-packed with incredible features such as heated stone massage seats and a 270° wraparound heating system.
It even has its own fridge, a wireless charging panel, and memory foam seats.
The car is currently only available in China, but the motor company is currently exploring overseas expansion.

Luxury Mercedes
This comes after a luxury car brand is set to launch a brand new 'blinged out' electric vehicle, with a 65-inch screen.
The Mercedes-Benz Vision V will be a range of luxurious people carriers, set to launch in 2026.
The new motors will come in a variety of different models, from ultra-luxurious "CEO transport" to seven-seater family cars.
The interior of the vans will be incredibly luxe, with the seats made from white leather.
Wood is also used on the walls of the car, and there are clear acrylic storage compartments attached to the doors.
The cabinets are said to mimic display cabinets in high-end designer stores, and can be used to carry handbags or sunglasses.
Passengers can even separate themselves from the driver with a glass panel, which creates a "private lounge."
This panel can then turn into a 4k resolution 65-inch cinema screen, which can be expanded thanks to seven additional projectors in the floor and roofliner.
The projectors can all be sticked together, creating a 360 degree viewing experience.
The car even has both a karaoke mode and a gaming mode, meaning passengers will never be bored on long car journeys.

2008 Tesla Roadster For Sale With Just 1,821 Miles

By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. View post: Japanese Car Prices Are About to Go Up in the U.S. The Tesla Roadster is a vastly different machine from today's Teslas There's a lot that can be said about Tesla as a company today, but the Tesla Roadster is largely an exception to those criticisms. Based on a Lotus Elise chassis, the automaker's first car was both sleek and impressive, and this 2008 example on Exotic Car Trader with 1,821 miles is a relatively rare sighting of a Tesla Roadster on the open market. 0:01 / 0:09 2024 Kia EV6 GT-Line review: Is this the EV that will convert you? Watch More The Roadster was an impressive machine when it was released, being the first highway-legal production car to use lithium-ion batteries, with a 53 kWh pack onboard. Charging time varies, but if one uses a 240 V charger on a 90 A circuit breaker, Tesla claimed a recharging rate of 56 miles added per hour. The electric motor produces 248 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque, which are sent to the rear wheels through a single-speed transmission. Tesla quoted a 0-60 mph time of around four seconds, which is nothing to scoff at, especially in 2008. Regenerative braking is present, of course, and the Roadster sports both front and rear independent suspension. The EPA gave it a 244-mile range, which isn't great by today's standards but was a good number back then. 2008 Tesla Roadster — Source: Exotic Car Trader The Roadster had some tricks up its sleeve Uniquely, the body panels are all carbon fiber, keeping the weight down for both performance and range-related reasons. The NHTSA also granted the Roadster a waiver from the advantage two-stage airbag rule, allowing Tesla to use standard airbags instead. While that may seem unheard of in the modern world, similar waivers are given to small-volume automakers like Lotus, Ferrari, and Bugatti. The interior is a relatively sparse, but still attractive, and frankly, a massive step-up from modern Tesla interiors. The tan leather seats match the door panel inserts, while the center console houses a 'gear' shifter, controls for the HVAC system, and two buttons for the seat heaters. Above that is a JVC head unit complete with built-in navigation. The cluster is relatively standard, other than the fact that it still has an RPM gauge that goes up to 13,000 RPM. I think more EVs should have rev counters, despite their comparatively useless nature. While modern Teslas are a common sight on today's roads, only 2,450 Roadsters were built in four years, making this one that much more desirable. Tesla sold Roadsters directly to customers online, in 13 showrooms, and over the phone in North America and Europe. 2008 Tesla Roadster 2008 Tesla Roadster Autoblog Newsletter Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video.

Final thoughts Tesla Roadsters aren't a common sight on the road or the second-hand market, so if you've been looking for one, this one on Exotic Car Trader is a must-have. Of course, with such credentials and only 1,821 miles on the odometer, the $225,000 asking price of this one is to be expected. Not only will you be driving one of the first mainstream electric sports cars, but you'll be driving one built on the back of an Elise. Is that something you can really put a price on?

Last chance to save your home security videos before they're ALL deleted as Ring rival renders 3 popular gadgets useless

See the full list of affected devices below - and what you need to do immediately SWITCH OFF Last chance to save your home security videos before they're ALL deleted as Ring rival renders 3 popular gadgets useless Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOUSEHOLDS kitted out with a major Ring doorbell rival have been warned their devices will stop working entirely in a matter of days. And all video recordings will be deleted unless you take action immediately. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Company's security products will no longer work on August 1 Credit: Hive Three gadgets, including a video security camera and a siren, have been discontinued by Hive. The company's home security alarm system, Homeshield, will also cease to function from August 1. Hive - which is owned by British Gas parent company Centrica - started out in 2012. It's mainly known for smart heating as well as smart lighting, both of which are not affected by the upcoming changes. Hive eventually broadened out into smart security. But three years ago bosses decided to step away from security products to focus on "energy-efficient smart-tech" instead. The devices have continued to work since then but the final nail will go into the coffin next week. See the four products being killed off below. Hive View Camera Hive Siren and Keypad Hive Homeshield Hive Video Playback Despite being security-relate products, the Hive Window/Door contact sensors and Hive motion sensors will continue to operate. Ring's flying 'spy drone' that monitors your home in the AIR 'coming 2026' – it stalks burglars & even recharges itself In an email warning sent out to customers recently, Hive said to "download any footage you'd like to keep now". After 11am on August 1 it will be deleted. "It is crucial that you save any required recordings before the cut-off period on the 1st of August 2025," Hive says. "Your data security is important to us, and we take disposal of data seriously. "Therefore, our system will be unable to recover any video footage if you fail to save your recordings before the 1st of August 2025." It also recommends customers "recycle your devices at your local Household Waste Recycling Centre".
