Full disclosure mate, are you getting kick backs from this? This is a brand new car to Australia, and manufacturer. One can't underestimate the risk with a new manufacturer, with parts and servicing etc etc. It takes time to build reliability in these areas, and becomes a particular problem if mass numbers are sold at the start of their journey. This is something you should definitely be talking about on your channel... When hyping up new makes and models. Love you bro

[@Excalibure666]

Xpeng founders and investors all experienced in the car industry. They have great service network in China. And here in Hong Kong, Xpeng cars will be serviced by BMW. For sure can't be compared to the 50-100 years old manufacturers. But they are doing good. Tech is good, craftsmanship is good, price is good... Last few months I was studying and test driving all the electric cars in HK. Chinese cars feels much better in every way compared to European or Japanese ones. So, I ordered G6 and we will see. Hopefully won't be disappointed. Fingers crossed.

My only issue is pricing you dont get something for nothing ..

Im not saying the car is bad but like my X power there are compromises that have been made to keep the cost down .. food for thought !!

After seeing that the Electric Viking has ordered one; and having seen various other reviews; and test driving the G6 myself - I have ordered one (I was considering the Juniper having already test driven the Highland and MY) For those who are interested, G6 uses SACHS suspension so the firm-ish ride will be similar to Audi/BMW according to the salesman

Xpeng has the closest rival to Tesla’s software tech, better than Zeeker and the rest. Though be aware that it’s still not going to be FSD compliant so if you believe that the FSD is going to become unassisted within the next couple of years then you’re better off to stick with a model Y. I haven’t as yet tested the G6, tested a G9 last year. Felt just as good if not even better and more luxurious than my previous BMW X5. What I didn’t like was the single pedal function that wasn’t nearly as natural feeling as the Tesla. The same was true re single pedal driving with the Zeeker model X which was either too little or too heavy braking in its 2 settings. Never fiddled around with the G9 to see if it had different settings which possibly might have made a great difference. The Tesla model Y just took one traffic light and I felt comfortable to rely on its single pedal function.

[@danieldornes8416]

Nice overview of the G6. (One suggestion is to have your camera person move and zoom in on what you are pointing out.

[@kindface]

@@Harrythehun Whose economy - Aussie's or the Chinese? If the latter, you should be asking more about their household savings. Dream - try asking VW if they're buying into one too.

[@kindface]

@@keithv3767 Good point. That said, I can't see where else in the world EVs can be produced more competitively than in China. Xpeng is one of a handful of Chinese EVs who've survived (considering the brutal competition, one may even argue "thrived") the frenzied feeding among almost 140 Chinese EV makers in the domestic market. Those who've cashed out on Xpeng and sustained a loss I'd hazard a guess were more traders (uninformed ones or non-pros) than investors or otherwise not playing with spare cash and certainly didn't inform themselves to the level of investment conviction that they should have. Xpeng have now got a captive client in the VW group as well so it could be argued that helps solidify a floor on their stock's valuation. Hovering around the profit breakeven point (which is where Xpeng is now) often feels like the darkest hour before dawn. BYD had a very long darkest hour but that was because BYD inadvertently became the defacto incubator of the EV market, shouldering the market's long gestation period almost single-handedly for the entire period until Elon joined the fray and shared the load - so they're (together with Buffet) gloating now as they deserve to be.

Loving the channel and excited to see the G6. Keen to buy one. Did you see Bjørn Nyland;s review. He was not happy with the highway/cruise. Felt it overdid steering corrections and slowed down on every minor bend. Hoping this is fixed with software when they release here.

[@StirfriedGerman]

Seeing this on the road every day here in China, it looks a bit weird from the back. The current model Y looks old compared to this one however. You get free City and High Speed ADAS here, however there are some reports that high speed ADAS has to be well supervised and some crashes occurred especially on highway auto exiting. But the drivers were supervising their phones, not the car, which is not recommended. I'll try this one next week, I tried P7 a few years back and it was a rather good experience, good seats, comfortable ride. Xpeng cars seem to retain their used value as well as Tesla in China, whereas other EV brands basically depreciate really fast. But keep in mind that Xpeng does not have the market penetration of BYD or Tesla, so service might be less ideal until they build up.

Overall though, this particular ‘push’ seems to be about i) range and ii) auto-pilot. Personally, I want a lot more out of a relatively expensive /luxury car, EV or otherwise. Fit, finish, internal design & materials, drive-ability, steering, suspension etc etc. In short, no money down on virtual web-site & I’d really want to be driving the car first. Then of course there’s also the matter of dealer and service centres, warranty details, availability of parts. A bit of a ways to go yet, maybe in 12 months time. Ditto the Zeekr for that matter.

[@Mr.Relaxed]

I drove the G6 recently in Norway, and it was an ok car. I own Tesla Y Performance now, but have owned the new Xpeng P7. However, I had a lot of problems with the pedals, especially gaspedal, which felt loose and made lots of noises..They were changed, but same problem again 2 months later, so I ended up getting money back cause they could not fix. G6 is nice, but for me theres something "off" in the design. I do think, not because I own Y now, but the Y felt much better in the handling, everything was just smoother. With Tesla you also get Sentry mode, which is a good reason in itself to own a Tesla. The sound is also alot better in the Tesla, and the new M3 Highlander is even better than my Y soundwise. But congrats, hope you will be happy with the G6. Me, I dont wanna buy Xpeng again. The new Y Juniper when it arrives will blow peoples mind I think, it will obliterate most of the so called " Tesla killers" by far and will probably better itself in all areas compared to the current Y

0:25 not sure where this pricing is coming from The Electric Viking is just making things up - everywhere else is saying the base G6 will be more expensive than the base Model Y and the Long Range will be closer to $A70k before on road costs not $60k - Xpeng themselves have said they are categorically not getting into a price war with Tesla in Australia. You can almost guarantee they are looking at the order book before deciding on the final price - I seriously doubt the $A60k mark for the long range is correct, I think they would have published that to try to steal some potential Tesla Model Y orders if that was the case. $67k-$69k before on road costs seems about right for Australia.

I often compare Chinese cars to Tesla in the same way we compare Chinese Android phones to the iPhone.
