Why can t Xpeng 6 sell Tesla Model Y?

Mondo Cars Updated on 2024-03-07

If any car has not won in online comparisons and has never lost in real sales, then Tesla should be counted as one.

Many people have said before that Tesla is on the verge of collapse, but looking at the sales data, Model Y sold 49,877 units in November, directly becoming the sales champion, and Xiaopeng G6, which is often compared by customers, is not living a very satisfactory life.

It stands to reason that Xiaopeng G6 is a high configuration, ** low, pull the door and Tesla a comparison, it is simply a luxury to the blank, the overall sales are also known to be growing by leaps and bounds, the advantage is in me, surpassing Tesla is not a problem, as a result, Xiaopeng G6 sold only 8750 units in the whole 11 months, not more than a fraction of Model Y.

Why can't the Xpeng G6 be sold? Some people say that it is because the appearance is not good-looking, and some people say that it is because the brand is not ......These may be the reasons that affect the sales of the Xpeng G6, but, leaving aside these subjective factors, the Xpeng G6 has several disadvantages compared to the Model Y

First, all Xpeng G6 series are manual steering wheel adjustment, and now all Model Y series are electrically adjustable steering wheels;

Second, Xpeng G6 does not have a front trunk and glove box, while Model Y has both, if you need to put something, Xpeng G6 is either placed in the trunk or the middle armrest box, or placed in the slot under the middle of the main and co-pilot;

Third, although the wheelbase of both cars is 2890mm, the trunk of the Model Y has a long depth, low opening, and storage slots on both sides to put things, and the volume of the entire trunk is 971 liters, while the Xpeng G6 leaves more space for rear passengers, and the result is that the size of the trunk will be smaller than that of the Model Y.

Fourth, the AEB test results of Xpeng G6 were too poor, and when the platform conducted a static fake car recognition test on this car, Xpeng G6 failed twice 40km and did not brake, but Tesla Model Y's current measured data is 60km h and 50km h.

Fifth, the low-voltage battery of Xpeng G6 uses a 12V lead-acid battery common in fuel vehicles, while the Model Y uses a 16V lithium battery, the latter is basically maintenance-free, and the former needs to be replaced every year.

So, why are there still people willing to choose Xpeng G6, the reason is also very simple:

First, the entry threshold for Xpeng G6 is lower.

Now after the launch of the Model Y**, the entry threshold directly comes to 26640,000, while the minimum configuration of Xpeng G6 is only 20990,000, and now there is a discount of 10,000 yuan for the whole system.

This is not counting the cost of the assisted driving function, it is said that Tesla's FSD assisted driving is very strong, but this system is not only not fully usable in China, but Tesla also charges 640,000, turn your head and look at Xiaopeng G6, the city smart driving will be given to you for free, so many people think about it and calculate, the entry level of the two cars is 5650,000, and the actual price difference is more than 120,000.

Second, Xpeng G6 is equipped with an 800V high-voltage platform as standard, and the Model Y is still a 400V platform until today, and with the blessing of 800V, the benefits are faster charging, lower power consumption when driving, and better battery life.

Third, the overall configuration of Xpeng G6 is higher, what seat ventilation and heating memory, wireless charging of mobile phones with cold air dissipation, voice control, 360 images, transparent car bottom, air conditioning supports the whole car sweeping, external discharge ......These functions can be said to be beating Model Y, you can also ask your friends who drive Tesla, why do you still have to install a mobile phone holder there when there is a large screen car machine, is it because the car navigation is difficult to use?

So in the final analysis, the two cars have their own advantages and disadvantages, but for most customers, maybe Tesla Model Y is not an optimal solution, just follow the sales choice, and you will not make any big mistakes, so if you choose, which one will you choose, Xpeng G6 or Tesla Model Y?
