My takeaway: "You dont expect it and then just put it in" :)))

[@chaleethao1986]

"Tesla should copy this" stupid assistant pops up "NO NO NO"

[@InfiltrateIndustries]

It just a really badly selected wake word (and some oversensitivity?) - Obviously it thinks Bjørn is saying Xpeng, every time he says something with "Ex". They should make wake words customizable on all types of devices. Imagine dating a girl called Siri, and being an iPhone owner

[@Kameronkonalives]

If I bought a Tesla on AliExpress, this is what would be delivered.

[@davithdevries6774]

Yes it is as big as an e-tron but it is very cramped inside (Bjorn doesn't recommend it for ppl over 1.75m) , while the smaller ID3 is massive inside by comparison. The software seems Tesla like *on the surface *, but is an unresponsive rip off with lots of bugs and annoyances like the sounds and trip meter that does not go beyond 999 km. :') And on top of all that, it has slow Chademo charging.

[@davidkendall2272]

Love your videos, especially your food stops. Keep up the excellent work!

[@lucas7793]

There is actually a third 200A CHAdeMO station in southern Norway (Bergen, Danmarksplass) from BKK. Additionally all HPC chargers in Finnmark have 200A CHAdeMO.

[@canderson7776]

So unfortunate that CCS isn't possible, very hard to recommend anyone to buy this.

[@TheDanishSpaceman]

Great test, thanks! 🙏 Personally, would only get something with CCS here in Europe in 2020, unless the car is dirt cheap and only going to be used for city driving.

[@MortenB0]

What also is nice about KEMPOWER is that the charger has a screen with charging curve for the whole charging session ! Maybe KEMPOWER also proves that a good charger can give you better and more consistent charging speed up to a higher % before throttle ?

Thank you Björn for showing that XPeng G3 and Chademo doing quite well on 1000km. If G3 can take 200A, the trip would be 12:00 instead of 13:50.

[@bjornnyland]

Hint: I drove from Lillesand on previous video ;)

[@thorarnerugsveen5794]

If I had a lot of money, I would install many 50 kW Chademo chargers, because that's where the money is. My experience is that Leaf (and Golf) is the car that charges most often in Norway. And there is lots of Soul with Chademo, Lexus UX300e comes with Chademo and X-Peng. And I would make a lot of money from it :-).

[@KownKR7]

Better interior than tesla

[@lieselwappen9596]

i can confirm, after i visited the tesla showroom beside i decided to buy the P 7 here in shanghai. I was shocked about the Tesla interior quality and material choice. Back to the 80’s. P7 is a helluva car and over the long time i will figure out if the car is really durable.

Hi from Spain!!

[@karla6999]

simply replace "EXpect" with "assume" to keep the voicecontrol from reacting ;))

[@venti4268]

Chademo plug makes it just as future proof as buying a fossil car. Even though the number of chademo chargers are ok,the CCS is the way of the future..Even seen chademo charge stalls replaced by CCS during last year. The car would sell alot more with CCS plug

[@ernestbeggle1981]

Hopefully they'll let you change the wake word or disable it in a future software release.

[@danburkland]

I would love to see wireshark output of an Xpeng vehicle connected to a network to see who & what the car tries to talk to.

[@xuanhantan]

As long as this car doesn't have panel gaps, it isn't a Tesla ripoff

[@antimatter4733]

It's within specification, the panal gaps are a safety feature, you can use them as an emergency escape

[@antimatter4733]

@M HADI it's a symptom of bad build quality, same reason people get their teslas with uneven paint or weird rattles. And build quality is a major factor for most people when buying a premium vehicle, hence why people buy Rolls-Royces

[@doriancarleton955]

After seeing what the Xpeng looks like and based on Bjorn´s Videos. As well as other Norwegian Media reviewing the Xpeng G3 it strikes as an really good EV for the Price and the Range of the car. But ofcourse the only thing which which pulls down the car from be an excellent is the CHAdeMo Charing port. it such a missed opportunity for Xpeng in Norway and general Europe when the G3 will be launched in other countries in Europe.

The 50kw chademo is a great limitation. They should have install at least a 80/100kw chademo (ever better use the CSS). Is true that majority of chademo charger has 50kw as maximum, but that there are also charger, like the Hypercharger, that support 100kw chademo.

[@bjornnyland]

The problem is that >50 kW CHAdeMOs are very rare in Norway. We only have two locations with 200 A plugs (Lillesand and Dombås).

It beat the Leaf 62 kWh, but you forgot to mention the 37 degrees (!) temperature difference compared to when the Leaf was tested. But I am sure that would not affect the result in any way. The Leafs usually don't struggle in high temperatures, right? I like Tesla Bjørn, but these are not very scientific or useful comparisons unless the testing enviroments are more similar.

[@bjornnyland]

You should watch those Leaf 1000 km challenge videos to understand more. And if you paid attention, you will see that I tested Leaf twice. It turns out that Leaf was performing better when cold outside because it then overheats less. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqSbmaqkrd-easU kzbin.info/www/bejne/naaoqqFmq8aSmac "I like Tesla Bjørn, but..."

why doesnt it have CCS plug? If they had to change it for europe...why using that horrible chademo considering we are in 2021 basically?

[@bjornnyland]

I explain this quite well in a later video. Short explanation: - GB/T that they use in Chinese G3 has very similar size and protocol - G3 has been existing in China for a while now - CCS plug is too large and won't fit the charge port - Redesign of charge port results in redesign of chassis which would trigger new type approval. And that's way too time consuming and expensive. Better wait for refreshed G3.
