Xpilot … is not done and .. for free. It is like AP but with lane change. I use it all the time in NL.
Tesla FSD is not done and costs 7500 euro in Europe and 12000 dollars in USA.

We bought one in the Netherlands and after a 2500km trip to Denmark I can say that we are very happy with it, even with current software. Xpeng already did one OTA update and they're planning on rolling out NGP (Xpeng full self driving for highways) before the end of 2024, that's exciting. They also want to merge Chinese and European software versions so you don't have to wait for Chinese versions (in theory).

X-Pilot also works way better on Dutch (and German) highways because they have very clear lines and don't have many sharp curves. Did a little road trip today where I drove nearly the entire highway (2 hours) with Xpilot + LCC. Nice and chill.

They still need to fix the bongs and chimes when using X-pilot though. Just let me turn them off or very low volume please :-(.

If you press the "microphone off" button in a Chinese car, the Chinese secret service receives an alarm and they immediately switch live into the car. ;)

[theoschijf]

The LCC activated in voice is a setting. In xpilot I believe.

Pls take a big eye further to the Efficiency… the consumption seems amazing for such a huge car. I am looking forward the 1.000 km range test💪🏼

[exonusgod]

I think when you turn off the driver awareness monitoring it might disable the controls for the driver assistance to check the driver is holding the steering wheel

[CalippoCola]

Hi Bjørn, good video ( as always ). I'm very interested in the G9; will you also be testing the RWD with a small battery in terms of range and charging ( when available ) ? Keep up the good work, greetings from Germany

Xpeng probably has 1, 000 or less vehicles with their current self-driving hardware & software in Europe. I think it is likely that this one area Bjorn has issues with is not complained about in China, where Xpeng has had hundreds of thousands of cars to tune the software on. ie, seems very likely in a year or so, this one aspect of the car Bjorn is not a fan of will flip into a strong point of these Xpengs.

[iceshark]

Should do a full 100% - 0% drive at 120 km/h to get a accurate estimate on range

[osamarasool]

Dont you usually test the audio system in the range test video? 😊

[OSQQ]

Thank you for the video. I thought that Performance version had 21" wheels and not 19" like in your video. This will certainly have impact on consumption

[jeroenachten]

When are you testing the range of the new model 3 highland ? :)

[EV_OBD]

Xpeng removed lidar from G9 European version, allegedly to save costs.

Impressive car really, some tlc on the software and it’s as good as anything.
At 1:58…”We’re gonna drive down to cleavage…. and back again”
Ohhh yeahhh, this car can do it while in Elon mode and a lady on the passenger seat.

[fieldscarlisle]

It’s always interesting to see these Chinese cars that aren’t sold in the US. NIO claims they’ll sell here one day, but I’m not so sure that will happen without them launching domestic production. 25% tariffs and lack of tax credit eligibility will make them quite a hard sell.

[TheMurderurer]

Do you perhaps know how fast the car can charge at 400volt chargers?

[EPicurux]

Did you double check if the amount of energy delivered (accounting for charging losses) after charging back to 345km is consistent with the consumption you calculated?

[foreverwhisper]

Better be hurry before EU put huge tariff

[Hunman]

Hi Bjorn, Elon mode is sounds cool lol😅. Please tell Xpeng to fix the software and adas system and adapt it to Europe. Than it will be a very cool car! Atti

[Russo]

Really nice car. It's a shame that's not a Seven Seater.
