New Xpeng G9 performance owner
Good evening everyone, by August I will be the owner of a G9 Performance Black Edition. The decision was quite a tough one because I was looking for the right balance between comfort, technology, perceived quality, and infotainment user experience. In Italy, the options have only recently become truly interesting, setting aside the usual European brands which, in my opinion, no longer meet my specific criteria (I am, however, coming from a German internal combustion sports car).
The Reddit community has been incredibly helpful; reading through the posts here really helped me make my final decision. I can’t wait to dive in properly as an owner.
The Italian community seems almost non-existent, unfortunately. I’ve listed a few things below that I’m most curious about, and I want to thank anyone in advance who is willing to share their experience or knowledge:
Updates: How are they? Are they frequent and do they have a significant impact?
Feedback: Does Xpeng actually listen to the community? If so, where is the "official" place to voice opinions?
Xcombos: I’ve found a few posts, but it’s unclear if an actual list exists. I know "codes" are used, but how does the creation process work? Is it simple? Is there a library of actions within the infotainment system that you can include in these sequences?
Apps: Which apps can be installed? Can I use the Google Play Store (I use Android), or is there an official Xpeng app store?
Remote Parking: I know the car can currently be moved forward or backward to park in tight spaces. However, I’ve seen videos (possibly from China) showing the car performing a full parking maneuver via smartphone—including steering and multiple adjustments. If this isn't available yet, is there any word on when it might arrive?
Changelogs: Is there a website where I can check previous updates and upcoming ones, perhaps with a summary of the release notes?
Thanks to everyone willing to share their experience!
