We're on the "other side of the hill" to Hotham. If you're ever down again, feel free to come and stay (fast charger in town and slow charger at the house).
Wow, Sam, you got your own ship "The Viking" interesting coincidence with your alias name 😊😉👍. Nice EV car by the way !
I really hope your wife gets well completely.
Thanks Mate!
Praying with faith daily
I am so sorry to hear about your wife mate. Fingers crossed she recovers.
Praying for your wife mate. May god give everyone courage to see through the challenging times. Love from India.
Very smart of Xpeng to recognize the importance of youtube channels like this to spread product awareness. The XPeng CEO also appeared in a Deutsche Welle discussion on the future of European car manufacturing. Very impressive.
All the best. This was personal for me and a lot of other people. Sending huge amounts of love from Norway. ❤
Nice Video Sam, great to see you and the kids enjoying life.
Glad you enjoyed it
You have a beautiful family, wish them all the best and for your wife's best of health, you guys are amazing! 🎉
Thanks for taking us on such a delightful journey with your two lovely boys. Took me back 20 years when I did the same with my two sons. Taught them downhill skiing when they were fearless tots - Mt. Tremblant, Quebec, Maine, Vermont, Colorado. They were doing double black diamonds and the worst moguls in their teens.. Mountain climbing in the Rockies (4,000 meters), fishing, biking (I had repair kits for flats, which they both got in the middle of nowhere). Camping. Best times ever. Thanks for taking us along. You're a good father. Building memories, and character.
Bmx champs on the track
Always love your effort and your family. Hope everything goes well for your wife.
Much appreciated
Perfect timing for a long form video, thank you for sharing this with us man, I wish you all the best for you and your family…hope the US is treating you well! ❤️
I’m sorry about the situation with Shanna. I’m going through the exact same thing with my wife except for breast cancer. It looks to me like you’re doing a great job with your boys and helping her. What a privilege it is for us to be able to care For our partners when they’re sick and as they’re dying. I think that this time that you and I have to care for our loved ones, as they are leaving, is one of the most important times in our lives. Good luck and keep trucking!
God bless you and your family my friend. My mom is going through the same challenge.
Sending best wishes to your wife. It must super difficult, physically and emotionally. I can see you doing the best you can to keep some normality by spending quality time with the boys. Great dad!
Much appreciated
I don't know you guys
but I love you guys
❤
Thanks Mate!
Really hope your wife gets better, we will be praying for her
Good on you getting out with Jack and Cal. It must be hard not being with Shanna all the time but could be she can use a couple of alone days. Great meeting you guys, what a great family you’ve got. Shanna is a gift, you’re a lucky man to have met her. The boys were wonderful guests, friendly and fun! Great family you got there! I look forward to meet up again sometime.
Thanks for looking after us Gene! (From Shanna, not sure whose account I am logged into, I think Cal’s 😂)
Of course Shanna. When you’re headed south, if you’re not in too much of a hurry lets meet for lunch. Maybe in Santa Barbara? There’s some great food there in Santa Barbara.
Lovely White G6..I would buy the white interior layout..fresh look all round. 😊
Mate. Personal anecdote from NZ here. I had a lump appear in front of my ear 5 years back. Was informed benign tumor in salivary gland, not to worry about it. I worried about it and decided to a) go near vegan b) 4 x sessions of hiit on a spin bike/week c) near daily frozen broccoli sprout (1 cup) smoothies w/ turmeric. Year later decided to get it out as was getting a bit bigger. Turned out it was aggressive high grade cancer all along but it was near dead as my body had completely encased it in scar tissue and blocked it from the lymph node in there. Only getting bigger from scar tissue surrounding it. Surgeon said never seen anything like it in his life. Hoping for the best for you all.
Best wishes for your family, Thank you Viking
So sorry for your family and your wife going through that
Thanks for your broadcast
Thanks for listening
Wishing your wife recover soon. Always stay healthy ❤ frm Malaysia
So sorry to hear about your dear wife 😢
Thanks for such informative videos.
Appreciate you watching!
Wow,! When we were waiting for our model 3 to arrive in Wollongong in 2022, I kept seeing the Viking ship off the coast.
The memories of ship watching haha
Stay strong. Don't give up..
Great video. I loved seeing the cycling and hiking section. Kids absolutely loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it
Stage 4 cancer is very bad, hope she recovers. Please record her voice and videos for kids. Hope she recovers soon.
Thanks Mate!
What a great dad!
Other than your wife’s sad situation, I’m happy for you Sam… you took a risk and you have a great viable UA-cam channel and you’re a great dad esp. in these trying times…. Keep on trucking. BTW been watching g you for 2 plus years. Eff the trolls, just power on. You deserve all the success… I just wish your wife and boys mother as long a liveable life as possible.
Keep it up. Love it. There is just so much misinformation out there about EV,s and it is so frustrating. The more EV videos for public consumption the better. Spread the good news! I haven’t yet decided on which EV to buy, I’m still bringing my wife around to the idea. Happy driving
Awesome hike, fantastic family.
I am so glad that I held onto my Xpeng stocks.
Nice adventure Sam
And good to know you like Xpeng.
Its far better than a Tesla in many ways.
Totally agree!
I was watching where the head rest hit the back of your skull. With my neck pain I need it to tuck under the base of my Skull. Any car I drive that's the first thing I check. Great trip with the boys and meeting more of the family was a plus.
Hope you all the best mate and keep strong. Regards from Beijing
Best wishes for the family.
I think you nailed it with those 4 picks for various purposes.
Thanks Mate!
I totally understand your worries.
sorry to hear about your wife. hope everything will turn for a better.
sam, i understand the foot injury, as i had a tib fib break and 12mths or rehab and another 6mths to be able to play football again. but we keep going
Wow, take care
Thanks Mate!
Just wanted to echo what everybody else has said mate....I hope you and your family make the best of a bad situation...thinking about you all here from Liverpool England ❤
Well done you are top dad as well give your wife sometime in these hard and trying times best of to your entire family and special your wife❤
Speedy recovery to your wife.❤
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha
Thank you for sharing your experience
My pleasure!
thinking of your family especially during this time.
It breaks my heart hearing what you guys are going through. Having said that, Sam, you are a great father. Watching you with the boys is amazing. Hang in there Sam, stay strong, young man.
Very best wishes to your Wife Sam
Thanks Mate!
18:32 I wish I could have been there enjoying with you. And also I know how to fix flat tires and always carry the necessary equipment with me for situations like this. Prepared for anything!
Don’t equate being fit to heart healthy! I’m guilty of that too!! Need to check for syndrome X such as high blood pressure, high inflammation, high fasting glucose. Need to get on a high fat low carb diet so NO grains, NO Sugar, NO ultra processed foods. This is all preventative and isn’t just genetics! Hope you read this for you and your family Sam.
Very Best Wishes for the wife’s health
you are a great dad
Thanks Mate!
I have an EV for 5 years, when I got my first EV I saw hardly any other EVs totally different now. The big problem back then was a lack of chargers. 1 new public charger is being installed every 34 minutes, so people are seeing more and more. My lease is up on my Kia Niro E this year.
I am waiting for the launch of the XPENG G6 in March. I have test driven an Kia EV3, which is really good, my choice will either be the EV3 or the G6.
There are no government incentives for consumers when it comes too buying an EV. Legacy manufacturers are putting up the price of ICE vehicles in the Spring by around 20%.
The supermarkets are installing a lot of chargers, which will help people who have no off street parking to charge.
I expect EV sales will be above 50% or more well before 2030. Then the issue will reverse when it comes to ICE vehicles. If the Supermarkets, where most people in the U.K. fill up their cars with fuel stop making profits, a lot of which come from sundries they sell drinks sweets etc, which depend on footfall. They will close their filling stations.
That is when range anxiety will become the ICE drivers concern.
Great content as per usual. Sad news at the same time. You mention the car carrier is called Viking. Do you know full name ? Viking what? Would love to track the ship so my excitement grows.
As a Canadian I can say with 100% certainty that this tent experience wasn't like *REAL WINTER* ....auzys shouldn't even try to pretend that they get actual winter. ..they dont
Wish your wife all the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is laughable that some fools like to say that there are no chargers on the battlefield as if there are gas stations on the battlefield. However, electric cars can be charged as long as there is a sun, and there is a sun on every battlefield on Earth.
Soon, you will only see electric cars in the military, at least because of their high power, low noise, infrared signature, etc. Since the battery is a modular structure, it can still provide power even if half of it is destroyed, but the internal combustion engine will be broken if a part of it is broken.
Check out Key bridge, Maryland, and the US. Waterproof cars save lives, and EVs can be easily waterproofed. Some BYD models are waterproof.
For an 1,000 horsepower cars, we can afford an electric one, not an internal combustion engine one?
Please check out their prices.
BTW, the military needs power and saving money.
People are saying ''why are you not talking about Xpeng G6 anymore''
But we know the news about his wife, like Xpeng G6 is not that important at the moment...
Pls take lots of anti toxic herbs and bitter gourd, Sour sop fruit. Boil soursop and papaya leaves to drink
What is your solar system setup?? Maybe its been covered somewhere or later in this video. But keen to know.
Go carnavor, I had cancer, stress HAD. My doctor two years after did another pet scan. And still no cancer. Please no suger.
Carnivore diet is really worth a go from what I have read
All cells in your body use energy most use oxygen. Cancer uses super for energy source. Don't feed it.

I have had the Xpeng G6 for 1 month here in Denmark. There is still alot of issues. It feels like its still a beta-car. The version of software is 5.2.5 on mine. The biggest issues are:
- The phone connection: The phone sounds awfull at the recievers end. Like you are talking in a small tin-can or impossible to hear when you are driving +100 km/h. This is an issue with both Andriod and iPhone. With Bluetooh connection or Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. It is the same issue with G9 and it seems like Xpeng havent solved it yet.
- The DAB/FM antenna are having alot of issues. The radio jumps in and out, the DAB is flickering ect. It not okay.
- The Apple CarPlay connection freeze or just stop working at some point.
- You need to reboot you car at least once a week. It seems like Xpeng has forgotten to clear the cache and it fills up.
- It is not possible to set charge between a timeslot. You can only set a start-time for the charge. So if you have a start-time like 22:00 and you plug it in 22:01 you have to wait 24 hours before it will charge or you have to make it charge manually.
- The tyres keeps loosing the sound-foam inside and make the car rumble. You then need to remove the foam inside of the tyre and claim an new tyre. This seems like a problem only with the china-version of the tyres.
- The LCC are awefull. It keeps adjusting the steeringwheel all the time. Back and forth. All the time. Seems like the car dont understand how to make smooth driving.
- There is not connection between the integrated TomTom map and the ACC.Like no connection at all. If you drive to a roundabout the car just keep speeding, it does not slower down the tempo. When you have to drive out of an exit at the highway the car doesnt know so it keeps the high speed. Foolish!
- No Matrix LED lights. Thats just a big big issue. The LED lights are really a low Temu quality compared to other cars in the same price-range. It looks cheap, sorry :/
How about the steering in the vehicle?
Does it actually worth it?
Sam, I will send you Freegen information, it's the best ebike regenerative braking system in development.
sam, just so you know the video is looped x2 from tthe 30min mark
bicycle or driving gloves to protect the palm in the cold, while using your finger tips.
Tesla superchargers are far from optimal for G6, it works, but the speed on them is limited, here we get just short of 100kw on the newest tesla chargers, where as ionity and the likes can put power back into G6 with up to 280kw
Just received my G6 LR here in Denmark, i am super pleased.
Good parenthood.
Where is the key Note would love to see it
28:21 "you hit zero, you can still get 20km of range, and only Tesla does that."
Not really.
A recent study has revealed that an EV can be driven an extra 19 miles after the battery charge is emptied, and the dashboard shows zero miles of range remaining.
You need to brush up on your EV knowledge 😁
Overcast days will produce solar output
Hope your wife will recover soon!
sorry about your wife!
Wow the schill is strong in this one. I have noticed every time you do a schill video in China your wife is sick, coincidence?
👍
How tall are you? The car looks much smaller than the Y.
It’s almost exactly the same size.
the solar is still charging due the efficency of the panels plus the co efficiency of temperature
😢
Pronounced Showe Pung,
According to my Chinese mate.
I hope all ev can reduce their price.
If you want a good bycicle that only does 25 to 30 buy the new DJI bike 7k that is amazing or a lunacycle from the usa if you want faster 2 kilowatt? 2 killerwatts
Going Places with Same Evans. ... what you couldn't afford Ernie Dingo?
Aptera can charge on solar too
this tesla clone wil be the buy of the century in a year when people ge tired of the design. because that is alr 10 years old. il wait
Far out - the video with a bit of everything.
Big deal! Who cares? People do that in ICE cars all the time...
The Mr beast thumbnails proved more popular with mouth closed, look it up
Gave up watching it. Too indulgent.
What is the plural of kilowatt? Killer whales?
Are you also bought by Xpeng? Tesla Bjorn has just released a hour long video trying to smooth over the fact that some of us can't trust a bought YT creator. I starting to consider your channel being bought also.
Sam, I as well don't know what to say regarding your wife. I follow you for a long time and sadly cannot say anything but wishing you and her well, but the words betray the reality. I try not to get entangled in your sorrow because I also need to keep the emotional balance.
I love the trip you made with your boys; I used to live six years in Sydney and six in Melbourne, so I know the highway down. I also know a bit the Snowy Mountains, so thanks for the reminder. I was several times at Yarra Junction for Fiddler Convention - love that place!
I love hiking and sleeping out even if in snow or cold weather. So I wanted to share saying that it would have never occured to me to build a tent on the mountain top! I'd always look for some place beneath the top, protected from the wind. I would never do that with little kids - but at the same time watching their amazement in the morning was woth it. I realized this was the best way to make them instantly the mountain hike and nature lovers! It is a hard way, but perhaps here the end also justifies the means. 🫣☃️ I'm emotionally with you, even if I don't speak about other pain. ❤️ Life is rough.
Thanks Mate!
Lost, no. You were misorientated. 🫥😉
