That is great. Against the Model y standard the difference in range is about 20km and the xpeng charges way faster because its 800v. I rather NOT have an extra 20km range while charging 50% slower. Model y 10 to 80% takes around 30 minutes while the xpeng takes 20 minutes. Time is money

Thank you for sharing this mate. I think XP G6 is a much better deal than Tesla model Y at this stage. I think Tesla model may not bring FSD due to too many regulations.

I can't see any reason why people would pre-order without a price. There isn't anything compelling in this vehicle to encourage people to commit to a new brand of car that probably wont arrive till next year.

You would prefer to buy from underpaid Chinese workers? There is nothing wrong with a worker in the USA earning a decent wage. Better still, let the Chinese brands build factories in the USA to employ the locals and compete fairly with the American manufacturers (like the Europeans and the Japanese have done). They won’t even have to employ your hated union members…

@@lavectech I think they're planning to bring their fast charges to Oz. Also many other features like, instrument cluster, ventilated and heated front seats, heated back seats, looks like a softer suspension than the MY in my opinion is good. I think the G6 should do well.

I wonder what the servicing schedule (if any) and associated costs are going to be? Also who is going to service/repair these? It's all good to have these awesome new Chinese EVs coming to Australia, but we also need to know about the after sales service and how this is going to work. Also what are the warranty details?

The risk of fire in an EV is extremely low regardless of chemistry. The smaller range battery will be a good urban vehicle but if you can find a fast charger on your journey it won’t take long to top up along the way given it’s 800V

Tesla's are profitable because they're made cheaply, hard plastic interior. The G6 is a similar price to the MY but with a more luxurious cabin and features. Like what the Japanese Auto did to the US auto. I think Tesla might have rethink their expensive cheaply made EVs.

Complain about no frunk as if it's a deal breaker, NO ONE USES FRUNK ONLY ONCE A YEAR. Why would you care about being heavier or consuming more power than Model Y? when the difference in range is about 20km and the xpeng charges way faster because its 800v? People just complain for no reason that is insane. Would you rather have an extra 20km range while charging 50% slower? go see the tests, model y 10 to 80% takes around 30 minutes while the xpeng takes 20 minutes
