I suppose the next big thing is the 2030 extinction of ICE cars. By then, hopefully the batt tech n the number of charging stations increase

Still got PHEV or eHEV

Saw the car yesterday at UOB Plaza.

No frunk.  Boot is long but lack of depth.  Due to its fastback nature, it might be ideal for ppl who needs to carry a lot of stuff.

I can't find opening for glove box or don't have glove box.

Rear opening is small as the door can only do about 30 deg.  The chassis is quite "thick" resulted in an effort to get into the rear seat.

On the road liao. Confirm sleeker and nicer than Tesla Model Y. 

Traffic light turns green before I can position my phone to take a better comparison shot of the 2.

Somehow I find model Y more modern. There is certain "old" looking curve at certain angle. Maybe just  me.

I think those BEVs without frunks most likely have PHEV twins otw or out already.

Just realised i typed in a rush this morning and may have misled. I find model Y more modern looking.  Xpeng has an "old" looking curve at certain angle, like the old yesteryear's Porsche models.

Thanks pal. Now waiting for some kind soul to post the sai, I mean side view and we shall have the complete picture. 

BTW, I really came across critic, who argued until face turn red, saying that China cars are either copy cats or outdated, unreliable, made of cheap and toxic materials, cameras are used for spying, blar blar blar... Just like a piece of shit in their eyes.

This type of people, you can’t talk reason with them one. I’ll just save myself the misery and cut short the conversation 🤗

Model Y looks terrible. It looks like a  jacked up frog ready to pounce!

Substance and zero style.

  The spacing of "X P E N G" on the rear tailgate reminds of "P O R S C H E" 😁

Its funny because CCP for a period of time also banned all Teslas from parking in the compounds of chinese government buildings as they accuse the US that Tesla's cameras can be used as a backdoor for spying 🤣

This review explains the tech and the drive separately.

Wah. They also realise full BEV can't work for now (if you ain't Tesla).

Seeing more Xpeng on our road over the past 2 weeks. 

Have to admit that it is growing on me...

[Carbon82]

Interior look spartan but the more than ample space for 5 and advance driving and safety features make up for it. I know OMV and PARF are relatively low, but you know price is negotiable right? Potential buyer, go 敢敢开价.

The attention to details is evidence, e.g. the twin wireless charging pad come with ventilation vent to keep your phone cool while doing high speed charging, reducing the risk of batteries damaged by the built up heat.
