Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video:- The XPeng G6 and the Tesla Model Y are comparable in length(4.75 m), width(1.92 m), and height(1.65 vs 1.62 m, respectively).
- The XPeng's stated range is 570 km, while Tesla's rear-wheel drive Model Y version has 600 km of range.
- The all-wheel drive Tesla Model Y, which is the one in the video, has a range of 550 km.
- Both cars have full LED headlights, but the Tesla also has well-performing matrix functions.
- The Xpeng has an automatic dimming system, but it would be better if the dimming system were more dynamic.
- The XPeng has 20 inch rims, while the Tesla has 19 inch rims. The Tesla doesn’t have aero covers, which is odd for a winter test.
- With the Tesla, the aerodynamics suffer, and there is reduced range without the aero covers.
- The XPeng’s trunk has a more rounded design and is slightly wider than the Tesla’s, but both have coupe-like designs, making efficient loading difficult.
- There are nominally more litres of trunk space in the Tesla, with 854L to XPeng's 571L.
- For the Xpeng the charging cable fits relatively snugly and distributed with the adapters, and with the Tesla it fits comfortably with lots of extra space in the lower area.
- Both back seats can be adjusted for angle to adjust trunk space.
- Tesla comes with approximately 77 kWh of battery capacity, and XPeng is about 87.5 kWh,
- The Xpeng offers an energy kick that lets you charge at home and is equipped with an AC adapter.
- XPeng and Tesla have similar interiors with large central displays, notable steering wheels, and tall center consoles. The Tesla has a lower dashboard panel.
- The Tesla offers smoother driving and improved suspension.
- One pedal driving is better in the Tesla.
- Autopilot works well on the country road for Tesla Model Y
- When using cruise control with Tesla's system in the review, there aren't sounds, however, using only lane keep assist can be annoying due to audio queues.
- Assisted functions, like lane keeping, only work up to 140 km.
- It is easy to access the app for both Tesla and Xpeng to drive, park, adjust the climate control, and locate the car.
- With the remote function for Xpeng, you can only park forwards and backwards.
- There were a couple of bugs related to software when testing the car.
- The peak charging is a bit higher with Tesla, but charging time is approximately equal between Xpeng and Tesla with the models tested.
- Xpeng's features, such as an 800 volt battery, make the Xpeng cheaper and better than Tesla.
