We took another test drive of an XPENG G6, this time from a new dealership in Berwick…

…Victoria, which is closer to us. Nice interior, comfy seats, great tech. The handling wasn’t bad on some windy roads, but not as sporty as the Tesla Model Y. Disappointing storage.

The auto driving hesitated quite a bit around bends. The lack of full stop on one pedal driving is annoying, but they will reportedly solve that in a few weeks via an OTA (over the air) software update. The G6 includes auto parking and lane change, which costs extra in a Tesla.

It has vehicle to load, but it requires some adapter plug into the external charge port, which wasn’t available.

We had a chance to play with Apple CarPlay, which is great to have. But the XPeng doesn't seem to support pinch and zoom in Apple Maps, which makes it very limited.

Acceleration was terrible (doesn’t move for a second), until I turned in “launch mode”. I couldn’t figure out how to enable launch mode and regenerative braking (x-pedal) at the same time, which was annoying.

Later that day, we happened to watch a YouTube video by Ludicrous Feed, road tripping in an XPeng G6 from Sydney to Melbourne and back. When they tried to charge at the Tesla superchargers in Yass, it failed. There’s some bug at the moment. That could kill our road tripping 🤔.

We also looked at the XPeng G6 a couple of weeks ago at the Everything Electric Show in Sydney, which we posted here:
