    This was absolutely brilliant. How astonishingly beautiful is China. Can't wait for the next part(s).

    The fact that the two tall guys slept in the car and said they felt good and had no complaints in the morning is one big selling point for me. I like the 2 roof windows too.

    Elliot - you need to do more of these travelogues, that was excellent. I had the pleasure of spending a month in Dali last CNY - it's a great antidote to Shanghai, I loved it

    I can imagine the production, logistics and editing nightmare behind this road trip video. But I can't help to say, I (and likely all of us) wants more road trips videos in the future 😁

    I'm a new driver. Just got my driver's licence in July this year. Then in August I took a road trip going from Guangdong to Yunnan Province with my dad's XPeng X9. To my surprise, as big as a car it is, the X9 is super easy to maneuver even for a rookie like myself. Doesn't feel like a 5.3 m-long car. And I also slept in the car for the entirety of the trip. I put an inflatable mattress in the back after putting down the third row seats so it was indeed a fairly enjoyable sleeping experience while saving me lots of money.

    Must be amazing up that mountain in Dali when the rhododendrons and azalea are in full bloom.
    I'm expecting a fabulous display from mine next Spring, of which, some of the magnolias will be flowering for the 1st time after my having bought them as 15cm rooted cuttings 9yrs previously; unsurprisingly, I'll be like a kid at Xmas when I'm finally rewarded for all of that effort and patience. If anyone's thinking that's an awfully long time to wait for something to come into flower, they'd be right. Magnolias normally flower between 3-5yrs after being taken as rooted cuttings, but I don't have the ideal amount of sunlight in my garden so it's taken me a lot longer to work out how to make it work for me. Why not just buy one already at flowering maturity? Because they are horrendously expensive here in the UK & mine cost well under £5 each to end up with trees that are worth hundreds of pounds each for the more mature specimens & eventually, the younger ones that are growing great guns will also be as valuable within 1-2 years; not that they're grown with selling in mind. I'm always amazed at how a bit of patience & perseverance can produce astounding results; my garden blows me away in disbelief sometimes.

    Silly me, but the info about on BEV, using air con all night that only using -2% of SoC is ... "assuring" for me.
    btw, I know it will depend on the battery's capacity. OFC

      MG is very very low quality compared to Xpeng Motors, this is quite like Volvo, not at the level of most of other Chinese brands...

    • @EJFJ-Corporation
      @EJFJ-Corporation 21 день тому

      Which car was hit??? How, and for which result? Xpeng vehicles should protect themselves by moving automatically when a danger arrives, with EJFJ Positive Contextualisation and EJFJ Autonomous Driving (named XNGP b them). They are improving systems to overpass laws by always respecting even the most caduc of them!
