Xpeng G6 Performance range test

[@KaJu74]

I was just shocked. I ordered an XPENG G6 Performance and consumption of 23.x kWh would be very bad. Luckily it's just a software error or display error. Phew. 🤗

I drove one last week. No lane keeping nervousness at all. Yeah sound system doesn't blast your ears but sounds good. Great ventilated seats. Quiet and smooth ride. I couldn't play with the software because it was in Chinese, I live in China. But I'm buying one.

Don't hold your breath - They've been on the european market for well over a year and simple things still haven't been fixed.

[@pikapika8294]

I haven't noticed the slowdowns at turns when I did 125km/h auto drives in China. If I had to guess, it could be because of the differences in road design specifications of the two countries. The speed limit of 2 lane highways in China are usually 100km/h, 120km/h are for 3 lane+ highways. So the minimum turning radius of these roads might also be different. I assume the car's software is tuned for Chinese roads. They really need a software localization team.

@@sk.43821 why? China plays with the rules of the market that Europeans traders imposed in the previous years. What happened and now these rules are not good anymore? In any case, when Europeans were producing goods in China, European people were unemployed because of China manufacturing and only European oligarchs were getting rich. What’s the difference for you if Chinese oligarchs are getting rich now and they are taking the place of European oligarchs? European people remain, in both cases, unemployed. Do you believe that European oligarchs loving you more than Chinese ones?

[@TheJensss]

It doesn't matter how good your car is if you can't provide parts for it. Chinese car companies should start to collaborate with European third party manufacturers to provide high quality spare parts for their cars

[@markdev4796]

Not sure about other countries but here in NZ , Chinese manufacturers partner with local dealers who take care of parts and service, its not as good as our local Tesla service but it works ok.

[@TheJensss]

@@markdev4796 I know multiple Xpeng owners that has been waiting for many months for regular parts because of poor supply. I have also not managed to find any third party suppliers of parts or third party produced parts for most of the Chinese brands. If you compare that to Tesla you have a lot of options for parts and where you buy them

[@MrVeeBlog]

Still a beautiful car. I don't know from personal experience except for my 23 IoniQ5, but for a car like this, I wonder how smooth a car like the XPeng manually slows to a stop. Does it grab the brakes at slow speed just before it stops the car? How about when it's in iPedal? Thanks for this video. I'm trying to catch up. :)

I got a G9 and I'm happy with the software after all the updates. Stupid that they have a bug in the consumption though. Didn't expect that. I also don't recognize the car not being able to go straight without bouncing between lines at all. Maybe that's different in a G6.

[@Jyz7fz]

The smoothness of the software and autosteering from Tesla M Y, personally give them more value in spite of the roughness of the suspension and less quiet interior, compared to Xpeng. It's clear the Xpeng software and autosteering is not reliable. Obviously these "bugs" reduce the "hype" of these (more than decent) chinese cars, letting to Tesla remain alive, despite the need of upgraded and newer models.

[@nickmcconnell1291]

Oh I think Elon has known for a long time what was coming. He is on record as saying something like "Tesla will come to naught unless it can make FSD real". He has known all along that others would eventually catch up and maybe surpass Tesla in car building. It is in robo-taxi and other AI that he is betting the company to win on long term. Midterm Tesla's energy business will keep it afloat as EV sales shift to Chinese companies. If I had to guess I would bet money that once Tesla completely solves FSD that they will contract with Chinese automakers to design and build the robo-taxis themselves for China and the far East. Tesla would then use those cars in robo-taxi fleets in those areas.

[@celeron55]

The Chinese aren't better than Tesla, but they are willing to make cheaper cars with smaller margins. No point for Tesla to go to that market, at least without bundling with FSD to bring back the margins. It's common sense, really, but Musk is good at coming up with common sense years and years before others.

[@pbasista]

Considering all the flaws of this car, unless its cost is about half of the Tesla Model Y cost, I do not think that Tesla needs to be worried about this particular competition. Yes, you might argue that these issues are minor. And perhaps they are. But to many people they matter. A lot. If the Pareto principle is applied here, getting a product 80 % done only takes 20 % of time. Getting the last 20 % done is the hard part because, according to that principle, it takes 4 times as long. Making fast and well-designed software is very difficult. There is no magic shortcut to take which would speed things up. It is primarily about an enduring effort to iterate over ideas, evaluate the feedback and efficiently implement the improvements. Tools like Chat GPT would not be very useful in that regard.

[@BoxOfGod]

I really don't care what those Chines manufacturers produce with those one-time use names. Chinese screw up and rename the factory then continue doing business as before. I was waiting Tesla 10 years before they build enough trust to purchase from them such expensive item like car. Until then I trust only those companies who have something to lose.

[@FB-uk9vt]

the stuff you mention on "autopilot" , it applies to tesla as well. Ridiculously dangerous. It works on vision, but it actually doesn't work quite well on 80kmh roads. It doesn't take smooth corners, it's weavering left and right. It doesn't read signs well, so one time the tesla says it's 100kmh on the highway and then out of nothing, it starts to brake and drives 90kmh , wtf !! where did you see a sign ??? All these stupid car manufacturers claim their autopilot is safer than human, are you serious ? I mean i will beat AI 100 out 100 times. It's programmed to use radar and vision, but it has no emotion it has no understanding how people can react if you drive on the roads. if you drive fast on the autobahn it has no idea. I can see kilometers in front of me, if the weather conditions are good. This crap of a tesla only sees one part , and reacts on what happens around it, it has no idea what is happening 500m+ in front of it. So if people on the road are arguing or some other shit is happening tesla and all these other stupid cars cannot interpret that, they have NO IDEA. emergency braking is f*** dangerous and doesn't work as it should supposed to. emergency lane departure on the tesla is super dangerous if you drive roads where there is no stripes or whatever. It has no idea it cannot correct towards the middle if i went to the sides because of a car coming my way. so basically what it does , it steers towards the car (i'm not talking autopilot here, doesn't work on these roads). super dangerous and if nothing paying attention i would crash into the other car. if i could turn all that shit of permanently i would, but every time you turn on the car, it's activated by default. Super super annoying. So yeah we can see from this review the xpeng isn't all that when it comes to autopilot features, but trust me coming from a driver who has a model 3 last 3 years and the mileage is already 140.000km I know what i'm experiencing daily.

Half the price of Tesla or european competitors with specs right out of heaven. In my opinion: wait till they are on the market with supply chain and service, then we can judge. There a 10 Xpeng retailers in whole Germany. Right now it is like buying a Car at TEMU or Shein.

[@willssonfisk4854]

Had a choice between this and Tesla Model Y and went with the Tesla. Mainly I dont trust the software from Xpeng. No way have they put as much development into the tech and not skipped corners. I hope I'm proven wrong of course! Also I have no idea what the Xpeng app's like, but I know for a fact that the Tesla app works better than most others and if you get stuck with a buggy app where you can't schedule preconditioning for example, that ruins the car for me. Then you have some other features like matrix headlights, driver profiles linked to your phone, etc that Xpeng doesnt have.

I believe the number one reason to own a Tesla is safety. Safety has not been critical consideration in Chinese products historically. It's hard to imagine why a reasonable person would ever ride in one of these Chinese vehicles let alone actually purchase one.
