    Most reviews are on the driving. I look at it more from a passenger's experience. Quite frankly, I hate getting Teslas on Uber as the rides are hard made worse by the hard seats and headrest and short seat length in the back. The Xpeng addressed all those issues based on two test drives as a passenger in the G6 in the front and back.

      Don’t kid yourself. Xpeng is a beta version of a tesla. The seats in the tesla have their own team dedicated to designing and making them comfortable in house . There’s more cons to a Xpeng vs model Y … they could of at least put sentry cams in it . That is a big no

      In my opinion the comfort in the model Y except for really bad roads is good, slthough not ecellent. The suspension is not soft and therefore also firm on very curvy roads where it drives as well as the model 3. It is only 15 minutes slower on 1000km so the charging speed is ok. Of course it will get better.

    Price differential varies between countries. In Australia, Tesla charge $3.5k extra for specific interior and exterior colours. Summon and level 2+ ADAS included in G6, Tesla charge $5k for enhanced ADAS in model Y. In Oz Xpeng offering free charger and home power supply installation. G6 has V2L and reclining rear. Xpeng have longer warranty than Tesla.
    Tesla has better ADAS and a frunk.

    Would gladly sacrifice a bit of range for more traditional door handles. Whether they pop out or pivot I do dislike flush door handles so very much. There’s a few EVs on the market with actual door handles that get over 300 miles, so EVs can still work with real door handles and are better for having them.
