I am not sure about that, it has been done in the US as the LR NMC is US made, the CATL battery being Chinese made does not receive tax credits. My preference would be to move to some of the higher density LFP options which the Chinese seem to be standardising on, these appear to be the best of all worlds prior to solid state, which, may only go into higher end cars initially. Furthermore the US Panansonic battery seems to be a fair bit better than the LG NMC we get here.
I just realised, looking at other articles. The Xpeng G6 boot is quoted at 571 litres, which to be honest looks more accurate from the videos I’ve seen…
Nice! Did you check out my Autopark test in my Melbourne test drive vid? RHD XPENG G6 Australia Test Drive and Infotainment Screen Walkthrough ruclips.net/video/0meM61Gvt5k/видео.html
I note that there was no mention of the different methods used in quoting the boot/cargo volumes in each vehicle. Simply reading off and displaying the quoted figures seems to suggest the Model Y is more than double the Xpeng boot space. Tesla no doubt use the SAE standard (a standard that gives larger readings), along with being measured to the roof. Most (no not all), vehicles sold in Australia are quoted with the more realistic VDA standard, which aside from giving overall smaller numbers, is only measured to the top of the back seat. I’ve no doubt, based on the numbers (particularly the Xpeng measurement), that the model Y cargo area is bigger, but it is not double.
Still no clarification on servicing requirements / costs for servicing for the xpeng. Also does the xpeng come with a mobile charger? I’d still go with the model Y at this stage even though the offering for the g6 is cheaper on paper.
Thanks for another awesome vid Tom. Being one of only a select few Aussies to have sat in and driven both the XPeng G6 and a BYD Sealion 7, which would you lean towards personally? Given that you are already a BYD owner so may have some inherent personal bias good or bad; which is fine with me as im also a Seal owner and leaning towards the Sealion. Have you already done a vid for the Kia EV5? Lots of noise mid year that all petered out to radio silence....
The BYD SL7 test drive I did in Xi’an, China comes with a few qualifiers: I’m not sure whether we’ll get the same EVO platform like the CDM. SL7 in some export markets eg HK are being sold with the older 3.0 platform. Furthermore I didn’t really drive it under real world conditions as you saw lol 😅 But from my overall impression, if you want a more classic fit and finish then the SL7 is the way to go whereas the G6 is for those who prefer a more minimalistic contemporary finish I haven’t driven the EV5 yet but will try to do a review shortly if I can get my hands on a press loaner
@@LudicrousFeed What do you mean you don't normally drive your EV like a hoon??? 😄 Until they give someone a proper loaner vehicle, your experience is probably the best we have. Yeah, did see some videos and comments about 3.0 vs. 3.0 EVO for RHD Sealion 7's - bit of a bummer but not necessarily a deal breaker as I've been perfectly happy cruising around on the 3.0 platform of our Seals.

Hope Kia launches the EV5 sooner rather than later; given all the serious competition they may find themselves a dollar short and a day late...
Tom have you compared the on-road cost for these cars? The real price difference is closer to $3k, make it $4.5k if you want any colour other than white! Tesla is taking their customers for a ride
Are they, how does the Model Y compare to a CRV or RAV 4 on price and features, why should an established player price itself at the same price as the new entrant.
While the base Tesla RWD is comparable in price to the SR G6, I would have to change either the paint/rims or seat/rims as the Tesla with no options looks lifeless and dull. So if I opt for Red paint and the 20" wheels, I would pay an extra AUD 5,640. And with Autopilot, the total amount for the options would be AUD 10,807. So for an even match, I would spend 66,707 for the Tesla Y versus 54,800 for the G6.
@@jansenwilder1335 I have to purchase insurance. I got a quote from one agent for HK$7,000 a year (AUD 1,335) which is the same rate we paid for our 2013 Audi Q5.

I've owned my 2023 MY RWD now for over a year, and as much as I love it I think the biggest bug bear for me is how "sluggish" it is off the line - at least up until about 40-50kph. If there was an option to increase the amount of torque it could deliver from 0 to 60kph I would pay for that. But I know Tesla won't change this for various reasons. Only solution is to upgrade to an AWD model (Tesla or other). This new G6 is definitely looking VERY compelling! Reviews I've seen so far still don't convince me it's worth choosing over a Tesla.......yet.
Just an observation,but G6 comes with all paint colours, interiors and 20” wheels as free as well as their “autopilots” equivalent. Would be good to do a price comparison of a dark grey vehicle with white interior with enhanced autopilot and see the base price of each.
Why don't you do that comparison yourself. The Model Y apart from looks is a better car on 19" rims than the 20" anyway, so I don't see 20" rims as an advantage. I would be considering the entire software experience not just autopilot and the relevance in Australia. As for the colours, yes that is a real advantage if important to you.

Long time subscriber and member. A straight 'on paper 'comparison is partially helpful to understanding the differences. Real world on road head to head (I know that will come later) is what really counts. I am NOT interested in the opinion (summary) of a computer..
Tesla should offer the long-range rear-wheel drive in Australia, like they already do in other markets. I think Xpeng is cheeky comparing their single-motor long-range to Tesla's dual-motor long-range.
I have a MY RWD and MY LR and definitely think Xpeng G6 will be a serious competitor in the future. Tesla is the more reliable choice and so agree with the conclusion (albeit from AI 😛). Bit surprised about the battery size and range for the Xpeng. I thought all models would've had far superior range, but that's not the case. I didn't catch all the video so perhaps it is due to weight? Also does Xpeng have blade tech for the batteries? Great summary and appreciated your earlier vids on this make. Thanks
According to this cnevpost from 2023: cnevpost.com/2023/07/18/calb-xpeng-largest-battery-supplier, " ... CALB is the exclusive battery supplier for the Xpeng G6, providing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and lithium ternary batteries for the model ... "
@@LudicrousFeed looks like business is going well for CALB. At ~3GWh that's about 35-40K vehicles per month they are installing batteries for (assuming ~75KWh ave capacity across the two Xpeng models). It would be good to do a similar comparison with BYD given their timing of entry into AU and pricing.
im waiting on information on xpeng opening an experience center in launceston in the hopes i can test drive one instead of blindly buying and hoping for the best. supposedly they are announcing that and the servicing partner in the next week or two hopefully.
Thought Tesla canned all sensors two years ago? You mentioned 8 cameras and 12 ultrasonic sensors? If new Y.

Also aftermarket instrument cluster available for Tesla? I’ve a really bad neck and central screen certainly flared up each of the 4 times I hired Tesla 3 and Y
You could buy 2024 Model Y's with USS in Australia quite recently at $3k off the price. Furthermore the 2023 Model 3 that were sold in Australia included USS until the end.
Really - The Telsa model Y standard is NOT 54k, its 62K ish.....I really find it disturbing that people keep saying this - Its 54k "with savings"price. This is NOT the price you pay - it's just crappy Telsa marketing. If you apply the same thing to Xpeng, it's now 50k for the standard range.
Picked up on a few errors and i'm only half way through. Chat GPT not the best way to get this info apparently. G6 does 10% to 80% in 20min, not 26. It doesn't come with tge XPILOT 4.0 hardware to AU, it's 2.5. Won't continue watching the clip
Thanks for the feedback. Lesson learned via AI for future vids: will need to carefully scrutinise info better. I’ll add the charging and XPILOT info to list of corrections 👍
I wouldn't get to excited about the theoretical charging speed unless you can find yourself an 800 volt charger which I expect will be few and far between for a long time in Australia.
Re boot size - Tesla with its claimed 854L obviously measures to roof but the G6 only to the top of seats - yet the reviewer doesn't notice this ridiculous size difference in two similarly sized cars ???
Xpeng G6 in Standard Range looks very expensive when compared to Tesla. Xpeng should be 10-15% cheaper than Tesla. Xpeng G6 in Long Range looks like a better deal - albeit without Dual Motor.
You need to add enhanced autopilot price of the Tesla plus colour costs to vs standard X pilot of G6. So the price of the SR G6 is $6000 cheaper. Without enhanced autopilot you won't get auto parking or summon like the G6. Tom didn't mention the 800 voltage infrastructure of the G6. MY is 400 only. The benefits of 800 voltage are huge.
@@LudicrousFeed Tom, the benefit is also to help you to save energy. The real range of people tested in China, G6 always gives you lower energy consumption than Tesla MY especially in hot weather. But the cost to build this infrastructure is very expensive.

Straight summon on G6, Tesla smart summon adds $5k as part of enhanced summon (but which has additional ADAS capability) Longer warranty and faster charging on G6. Ride comparison, Xpeng softer, steering less direct and interior noise the Xpeng is slightly quieter (poll of online youtube drives) Xpeng G6 does not have latest tech from Xpeng such as the Turin chip or 4k cameras. Uses only one Orin chip compared to two on vehicles for local market. Xpeng are transitioning to ADAS software and hardware setup, moving away from lidar.

@@LudicrousFeed yeah but i guess anti ev companies will eventually be forced to deal with ev's or face not existing. All we can do is avoid them where possible and let the people that are happy to support them do so.
The G6 being RWD really need to compare to RWD of the Y even in long range format therefore the RWD Y is about 2kW less powerful than the long range G6 RWD as the G6 has no AWD option(yet) we can't really compare it to the AWD Y. My question is how does each company measure their capacity as 800+L is alot so that is allmost as though they have gone to the roof unlike the G6 which may have just gone to the top of the rear seats, hopefully Bjorn has done a banana box test as that will show true capacity even if it's overall with rear seats folded down. Xpeng has been in Europe for awhile already though so that helps to know how the long term ownership is for western ownership. ChatGPT didn't take into effect where the money goes for Tesla and the CEO's political leaning and who he supports and that people may not want their money going towards supporting that.
Yes good point about the storage ... it does depend on how you measure it. With regards to philosophies of companies and respective owners, how far down the rabbit hole does one want to go right?
Whilst I'm more than happy to see more competition, there is nothing toxic about the Tesla brand. Elon is toxic and yes there are people who will avoid Tesla because of him, but it seems most people are smart enough to realise the Elon != Tesla

The G6 being RWD really need to compare to RWD of the Y even in long range format therefore the RWD Y is about 2kW less powerful than the long range G6 RWD as the G6 has no AWD option(yet) we can't really compare it to the AWD Y. My question is how does each company measure their capacity as 800+L is alot so that is allmost as though they have gone to the roof unlike the G6 which may have just gone to the top of the rear seats, hopefully Bjorn has done a banana box test as that will show true capacity even if it's overall with rear seats folded down.
Xpeng has been in Europe for awhile already though so that helps to know how the long term ownership is for western ownership. ChatGPT didn't take into effect where the money goes for Tesla and the CEO's political leaning and who he supports and that people may not want their money going towards supporting that.
Yes good point about the storage ... it does depend on how you measure it. With regards to philosophies of companies and respective owners, how far down the rabbit hole does one want to go right?
👏
👍
Lol boot capacity cant be right. Why dont you wonder why MY has more than double capacity but car is same size?😂
@@driver5347 Yup, as per other comments, Tesla for some reason uses measurements to the ceiling! 😁
You know more than Elon Musk about Tesla 😂
Haha I doubt that very much 😅
@@LudicrousFeed I have a question can I ask?
why did I just watch you read what i could have read? u ok?
I'm ok, how are you?
Please never do a ChatGPT generated comparison again.
Appreciate the feedback
The Tesla brand has been made toxic. Time for an acceptable comparo brand as a benchmark. IMHO.
I’ll use it for now as it’s still the number 1 selling EV
Whilst I'm more than happy to see more competition, there is nothing toxic about the Tesla brand. Elon is toxic and yes there are people who will avoid Tesla because of him, but it seems most people are smart enough to realise the Elon != Tesla
@@LudicrousFeed fading fast, sadly. Americans have protection from Chinese quality and variety.
