I took a 2027 leap position a few days ago. Alongside all of this we’re going to have a supply problem. Once we get over “woke” solar this will recover. We realistically should be tapping every time of power we can.
Out of all the big newcomers in the EV industries XPeng is the most traditional copycat one. Their cars are really good, but they heavily copied Teslas from the get-go, there was a lawsuit a few years ago because they poached an ex Tesla autopilot engineer who took the autopilot trade secrets to XPeng.
Their Fist few cars were an exact copy of Tesla's underneath, and their marketing was literally ( there are old videos on the web ) promoting their cars BESIDE a Tesla, telling potential customers how their cars are better and more premium feeling in this and that, while being cheaper.
Tesla announces FSD and so does XPeng, Tesla unveils their Robots, XPeng releases a toy-like robot, Tesla says Roadster will fly, and xpeng unveils flying cars...
XPeng autopilot is working the same as every other Chinese autopilot, very good and not groundbreaking, they all have the same "feeling" as if they are all using the same stack.
XPeng flying car its just an electric chopper, no groundbreaking tech.
XPeng robot? You can see a few videos even on YouTube, it's not even on the same level as the Unitree R1, let alone Boston dynamics, Figure, Optimus.
This company is all hype with no substance outside their copycat cars. At least BYD has good battery tech and good vehicles PLATFORMS they invented, NIO has amazing battery swap tech they invented.
