Tesla Model Y vs Xpeng G6 vs Skoda Enyaq | RANGE TEST @120KPH (75MPH)

0:00 This video is sponsored by Camp Powerower. >> Autopilot and then you want to pass the car again and then as soon as you start moving the steering wheel, it cancels and then you have to activate it. So there is binging and bonging. It's not smooth. Why can't it change lanes and maintain the speed? And then we have phantom braking. Like I'm not close to the accelerated pedal. Look at that guys. What is the car doing? What is the car doing? 50 kilometers an hour on the motorway. What the hell? This is so godamn dangerous. This car, I do not understand. And the guys are passing me rightfully because this is just super super dangerous. Why Tesla?

1:36 triple range test. Yes, guys, a triple range test in between the Xpang G6 all-wheel drive performance Viscodak Coupe RS and the Tesla Model Y longrange all-wheel drive premium. And with me I have Volvo Christian and William from Out of Spec. >> Hello. >> Are you excited about today's test? >> Yeah, pretty much. I'm excited about at least I got the Scod. This is [laughter] my favorite of these uh three >> and William. >> Yeah, I'm super excited to uh see the efficiency between these cars. Um, we of course have the Chinese, we have the European car, and we have the American car over uh here, which is supposed to

2:22 be super super efficient. So, I'm super excited to see how this works, especially now that we are on winter tires as well between all the cars. Uh, and I think that, uh, will make this a super exciting test. >> And guys, if you don't know, this is, as I said, Christian from uh, Volvo Christian. Uh he has a YouTube channel. We're gonna link it down below. And also an Instagram, an awesome source for Volvo content. I follow all of his stuff. It is pretty cool. Thank you. >> Uh so if you want to, you know, check that out, I would highly recommend you guys checking him out. And also William from Out of Spec. We've already filmed a triple uh comparison review video on their channel. So we're going to link that down below also. So, leave us a

3:08 comment down below. Which of these three cars you think is the most efficient? I have a hypothesis, which I'm not going to say in front of the [music] guys. I'm going to say that once we get rolling. So, without further ado, let's hop in the cars and let's get going. This test will be done on my normal [music] route where I have tested more than 200 different EVs. We'll be doing 120 km an hour or 75 mph on this almost 200 km drive north of Oslo. Today's weather is dry with temperatures of around 5 to 7° C. I'm starting [music] this range test in the G6 and after about half an hour on the road, the average consumption is

3:55 hovering at around 26 [music] kW hours per 100 uh km. We're going to call up the guys in just a second [music] to hear how the consumption is in the two other cars. But I have to say, cruising at 120 km [music] an hour, this car is quite quiet and comfortable, and I don't mind it at all. The steering is a little [music] bit uh weird on center, uh very heavy on center, so making small corrections is annoying, but once you driving the car in, you know, uh lane centering mode or auto steer, you don't have that issue. The car does the steering itself and then it is uh pretty nice. So, first [music] off, let's call up Christian in the Scoda Enyak and let's hear what the consumption is there. Hello. Hello, Christian in the Scoda Anyak. How's it going? >> Hello. Hello. It's going pretty good.

4:41 Pretty good. >> So, what do you think about the Scoda? Do you like it or don't you like it? >> I actually like it. It's a quite pleasant car. I got good seats, good decent stereo, and the noise insulation is yeah, kind of average, but it's a high speed. So, yeah, it is what it is. Exactly. Exactly. So, what is your consumption after about half an hour on the road? Now, >> my consumption is at 22.2. >> Whoa. I'm at 26.0. So, that is very, very high. Okay. Okay. So, thanks for the update. I'll talk to you in a little bit. I'm going to call up uh William now in the Tesla because I'm suspecting his may even a little bit lower than yours. Hello. Hello, William. How's it going in

5:26 the Model Y? >> The Model Y feels great on the highway here. >> Is it quiet and comfortable? >> Yes, actually quite uh quiet and comfortable. Yeah, for sure. >> Okay, interesting. Uh I hope you don't experience any phantom braking soon because on this stretch of the E6 motorway, that seems to be a problem with uh Teslas. Have you experienced? >> We are coming up to the bridge right now where it usually happens the first. So, I'm excited to find out. >> Okay. So, in the meantime, while we're approaching the bridge, you want to give us your average consumption thus far? >> My average consumption is uh 20 kWh per 100 km. >> Wow. Okay. So, I'm at around 26, the SCOD's at around 22, and you're at

6:12 around 20. That is actually pretty good. >> Yep. I I'm super excited about the efficiency of this car, >> but there are a few caveats. First off, um consumption in the beginning of the trip may not be that accurate. So, we're going to have to wait till the end of the video to give, you know, our final uh results. But also, Tesla's you usually uh under report uh uh consumption also compared to other cars. So, maybe we're going to have to do a correction there right at the end of the video. >> Yeah, absolutely. And you absolutely right about under reporting. Not everything is included in Tesla's consumption numbers. So, uh, we will see. >> It's kind of like their horsepower numbers and their 0 to 60 numbers is always a little bit, uh, better than in

6:59 reality. So, yeah. But did you experience any phantom braking now when we pass the bridges there? >> Actually, I didn't experience anything. And that's the first time I have not experienced phantom braking under that bridge. So, we will see as we move into dangerous territory here [music] for uh, Teslas. But, uh, yeah, we will find out. It looks like William [music] would be the lucky one not experiencing phantom braking because after I jumped into the Model Y, things got a lot worse. I've now jumped into the Tesla and almost immediately uh after I switched with uh William, I experienced three phantom braking. Uh I'd say two of them is was phantom braking where the speed limit

7:44 didn't change here on the display. uh the the speed of the cruise control didn't change and the car to just break down to less than 100 kilometers an hour. Uh the third one, it actually changed the the speed limit and also the speed uh because it's confusing the overpasses overpasses with the where we're going. Uh which is annoying. So still after like four or five years they have not fixed uh phantom braking issues on this stretch of road which is very very annoying. And also another thing I am uh you know um uh experiencing immediately is that this is a lot more noisy than the Xpang. And this is on smaller uh wheels and tires. The same wheels. There we go. Fant. Look at that.

8:29 Do you see that? Not doing anything. Speed limit didn't change. The set cruise control speed didn't change either. The car just breaks. Fancy braking. still a huge issue on this treasure road with the Tesla Model Y, which is very, very annoying. But this is on the smallest wheels and tires of the bunch here. This is on 19in wheels, but the same tires as that uh G6. So, there shouldn't be a difference uh when it comes to the tire compound uh when it comes to road and and tire noise. So, this is more noisy than that G6. To activate autopilot or auto steer adaptive cruise control on the Tesla, you press uh this right uh scroll wheel here on the steering wheel and then it

9:15 activates. It bings every time it activates. And if you want to change lane, say you're passing a car, you push the blinker and then as soon as you start moving over, it disengages. So, you move over to the next lane and then you want to pass the car. You want to re-engage uh autopilot and then you want to pass the car again and then as soon as you start moving the steering wheel, it cancels and then you have to activate. So there is binging and bonging is not smooth. Why can't it change lanes and maintain the speed? And then we have phantom braking. Like I'm not close to the accelerator pedal. Look at that guys. What is the car doing? What is the car doing? 50 km an hour on the motorway. What the

10:02 hell? This is so god damn dangerous. This car, I do not understand. And the guys are passing me rightfully because this is just super super dangerous. Why Tesla? I mean that is how hard is that to to fix? I mean, the combination of that with the functionality of autopilot here in Europe makes this pretty useless on some stretch of roads. Yes, I'm going to be honest. This doesn't happen on all stretch of roads, but this has been a case and an issue for this car, for the Model Y, for the Model 3 on this stretch of road every time I've tested a Tesla. Um, I'm not trying to kill you guys,

10:48 William. It's just the Model Y phantom braking below 50 kilometers an hour on the motorway. It's just crazy. Was that scary from behind? >> Absolutely. And I did talk about it for a little bit. Uh I'm sitting here with my perfectly functional travel assist system. Uh so um yeah, that sucks for you. >> Yeah, it really sucks. It is really really bad. And I don't even know if it matters if this is the most efficient because it is the most dangerous but okay. What is your average consumption now after uh 110ish km? >> My average consumption is 21.8 kwatt hour per 100 km.

11:33 >> So I'm at 20.0 basically. Hello. Hello Christian. How's it going in the Xpang G6? Hello. Hello. Ah, it's going good enough. >> It's not It's not as good as the Scoda, but it's uh it's okay. >> But is it more quiet than the Scod or more noisy? >> I would actually say say it's more noisy. More wind noise coming from the Apillar. >> Okay. So, that's interesting because I think this is more noisy, the Model Y than the G6. And Christian and William thinks the uh Aniac is more noisy than the Tesla. So, we're all in disagreeance there. Yeah. Okay. [laughter] Nice. >> Okay. So, what's your consumption now after about 120 km?

12:19 >> It was 24.6 just before you uh called. >> 24.6. Okay. So, that's a nice update. I'lluh talk to you later when we get back to our start point and see the results. Okay. Bye-bye. >> Bye-bye. Unfortunately, my microphone kept dying because it is getting colder outside. It's been really struggling lately. So, I've actually gone out and bought a new one. So, hopefully from the next video on you guys will get even better audio than before. But, we've now connected the G6 here and we're going to get a peak charge speed of around 218 or 219 kW, which is around half of what this car is capable of. And that is because of course it is cold outside and we are intentionally not preconditioning the

13:07 battery because in my range test as always we're trying to get the lowest consumption possible, the highest possible efficiency and that means not using any extra energy to heat up the battery. the Tesla now. Um, connect here and then let's So, the reason why we chose this charger is because this can deliver 600 amps. And, uh, for this car to get the peak charge speed of 250 kW, uh, we need 600 amps. Uh, but William, a little bit ambitious, right? Thinking we could, uh, >> yeah, very ambitious. This will in my opinion never reach 250 kW with the LG battery that we have here in Europe uh

13:54 with uh this charger unfortunately. >> Yeah, because first off I we are at like 27% state of charge. Also it is very cold outside uh 5 or 6° C. Uh super super cold. Um so yeah, no chance in hell but uh for this car to have a fair chance we're going to try. Uh, we tried earlier and it didn't want to charge. So, I don't know if there's something with this charger, but it seems like we're not going to get to charge on this charger today. So, let's drive it over to the Ioni chargers and try there. >> Yes, let's go. >> Okay, so now we're here at the ION chargers. Third time's the charm. And yeah, third time does seem to be a charm because at least we are charging 27% stated charge and it is going to creep

14:40 up. >> I don't know. So, what's your guess? >> 130. >> U 80 is my guess. >> Okay. So, we just passed 130, which was my prediction. William said 180. Am I the most um experienced EV tester? Yes. >> Congrats. >> Pete said 140 and went down to 137 138. >> This LG battery is really terrible, actually. Okay, so we're now here with the ENAC and maybe this is going to get a higher peak charge speed. We're maybe at a lower percent state of charge. We're not going to reveal that before the end of the video when we go through the results, but maybe this will be able to get more

15:27 than 140, which was the peak, right, of >> yes, >> the the Tesla. But it's a little bit slow to initialize. Hopefully. There we go. Click, click, click, click. There we go. Okay. Okay. So, I'm going to hold over this so we don't uh, you know, reveal too much. We don't have to, you know, uh, mask the actual percentage too much. So, this is climbing much faster than the Tesla. Much faster, >> but it's peaking a little bit lower, >> but it just shot up to speed. Very, very close. Yeah, >> we're now done with this test. And I apologize if there's noise. We're right next to the E6 motorway. There's a truck

16:13 there with this diesel engine running. Um so apologize if we don't have the best uh outro um audio quality. But before we go through the results, I want to ask the guys what they think of the different cars. And I'm going to start with Christian. Which one did you like the best and which one did you like the least? >> Uh, it is easy to say what car I like the least and that is actually the Tesla. >> It just way too minimalistic for me. >> It's a great car probably. It's no most soul car, but it just don't do it for me. It doesn't do anything for me. >> But how do you think it was like on a motorway? Like comfortwise, noise wise, driving wise with the adaptive >> comfort wise it was actually pretty good. And noise wise it it felt more

16:58 quiet than uh the other two. I think maybe it's somewhere between. I think I prefer the Scoda in terms of noise insulation. >> Okay. So, which was your favorite to drive? >> My favorite definitely the Scod both in driving the comfort wise everything. I think the G6 was a little too wobbly at turns. Way too soft suspension. But the interior felt better in the materials. But uh overall, my vote goes to the Scoda. >> Okay. Okay. Maybe it's going to be the most efficient. Who knows? Who knows? >> William, what's your assessment? Favorite to least favorite or least favorite to favorite. >> Okay. I'll start with the least favorite which

17:45 is unfortunately the Xpang G6. And that's due to the driving. And um I also thought it wasn't as quiet as I expected on the highway. It is in my opinion in the middle when it comes to quietness, at least from my ears. So, but something I did like about the Xpang G6 is the interior. It's nice. And when you step inside the G6 and you see this super light white dental white interior, which uh which uh looks great, especially when you come out of the Scoda in my opinion, but also when you come out of the Tesla. Um so there are some good things and I think it's better on the highway than driving in the curves and stuff uh like that. So it can

18:31 still be a great road tripper. It's of course has an insane charging speed for example. My second place is the Scoda Enyak here. I think it drives amazingly well. I think it has the by far the best seating position of any car here. You can sit down low. Uh it is of course an MB car and I like MB cars. Uh it is super nice in that sense. It has the best driver assistance uh of these three in my opinion. easily easily with this one coming in at um right behind it's still good but I still prefer travel assist that we have available in this travel assist is also available in like um all the Volkswagen ID cars so I think travel assist is amazing uh it just works now my favorite is the Tesla I

19:19 like how it drives on the highway it feels great feels sorted it has the like the perfect middle ground it is in my opinion at least from like the annoying noises. I felt like this one uh was the most comfortable uh for my ears on the highway. Uh with this one coming close behind uh and then uh the Scod being um the worst in terms of sound in my opinion, but I think the suspension of the Scod is great on the highway. So So there is no bad choice here in my opinion really. >> Well, it depends. I'm I I hear what you're saying because uh I think there's a bad choice depending on where you live because the ADAS and this is a preface. If you don't use ADAS, this is not going

20:06 to apply. But I think most people especially go on a motorway are going to use ADAS because ADAS in a lot of cars has become so good. The advanced driver assist systems with auto steer with lane uh changing functionality with adaptive cruise control. It works really well in a lot of cars. And unfortunately in Norway and in Europe where we don't have FSD and where we have issues with phantom braking, Tesla still after so many years on the market haven't fixed it. You guys saw my video. I don't know if you guys had it on camera, but it was so frustrating and >> it's on camera for sure. >> It's it it it's dangerous. I mean, I'm going to say it out. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I'm saying it's dangerous. So, for me, this is a distant third because even when there's no phantom braking, just the autopilot functionality is is so lacking. You have

20:53 to It binks every time you engage it and then you can't even change lanes without it disengaging. >> Yeah, I couldn't understand that. You have to buy enhanced autopilot for a 50,000 Norwegian croners or something. So then this becomes a very expensive car >> and it's not able to handle the Norwegian on-ramps where the right lane markings go away. It swerves out to the side. Uh which none of the other cars no do. >> So the ADIS in this is much better. Not as good as the travel assist and the Scod that it is so smooth. Uh and I thought also this was the quietest for me. The Xpang was the quietest and I think maybe this was a little bit more noisy and I think the Scoda was the most noisy for me. But that's just goes to show that three different people have

21:38 three different experiences. So it is really subject subjective when it comes to noise. So go go out and test this. But I think they are very close when it comes to noise levels. Um for me the Scod because of the comfort level because of the adaptive suspension and it is so smooth to drive and just the functionality of the ADAS with the head-up display showing you know in augmented reality. It is. It is so so >> such great drive resistant in >> so uh unfortunately until Tesla fix it because it is a good car. So let's get to the efficiency the last part of this video. So we started with 80% with the Xpang and 79% with the other cars. Uh we spent quite a bit of time setting up the cars with the cameras and stuff like

22:24 that. We charge everyone to 80 but when we started that was at 80 and these two were at 79. So we arrived with the Xping with 22% state of charge. The car predicted 31%. So that is quite a bit off. That is like uh 8 9% less than the car predicted we would arrive back here with. Um the SCOD we arrived with 24% state of charge. The car predicted 25. So that's 1% off. >> Pretty pretty accurate. >> But the Tesla was the best arriving with 27% state of charge but predicted 20% state of charge. I'm going to say that's positive. I always say it's positive that the car thinks we're going to arrive with less battery than we do, but I'm going to give it to the car that is the most accurate. That's what I always say in all the tests, but it is it is

23:10 pretty good. And that's down to your preference. If you wanted to say it's going to ride with more or very accurate, that's a personal preference. So, we've done a few calculations because if you're new to EV testing, um the uh consumption that Tesla's going to show you in the screen is a little bit optimistic. It doesn't always count all uh the battery usage. So, what we've done for this test, which we normally don't do, but because we've done it across the board, I think this is the most accurate. We've taken the battery pack sizes and we subtracted um the actual percentage uh used and uh calculated how much kilowatt hours the cars have used. So the Xpang is the least efficient

23:55 uh using 46.86 kilwatt hours and that translates to an average consumption of 23.91 kilwatt hours per 100 km. And when you when you take the battery pack size 80.8 8 kwatt hours. You do the calculations, that car gets 338 km of real real world range going 120 km an hour, 75 mph on the motorway. >> Yep. >> I don't think that's bad considering it is cold. So, in second place, we have the Enact. Um, it had an it had it's it used 43.45 kilwatt hours. Uh so when we do the calculations that is 22.17 kwatt hours per 100 km and when we take the battery pack size 79 kwatt hours usable it gets

24:42 a real world range of 356 km which is 20 km more than the Xpang which is quite a bit but in first place we have the Tesla and even when we you know do the calculations and we try to consider it and do these cars fair it's still the most efficient and it used 41.08 kwatt hours. Also has a 79 kWh usable battery capacity here in Europe with the LG uh 5L battery. And that translates to 20.96 kW hours per 100 km. And when we do the maths, that is 377 km of real world range, another 20 above the SCOD. So it may not be the best. Uh, I think

25:29 two votes for the Scod being the best >> and two votes for this being the least uh good to drive on a motorway. >> Y >> at least as is the most efficient, >> especially on this stretch, I would say as well. >> But but considering all of that, this was my number one. It's almost as efficient as this. So for me, of course, it's still number one. This is still number two for me. Does the ranking for you, any of you, change when you consider the consumption? No, not at all. >> No, >> I like this as a car. That's why I chose that. >> And I think the Tesla likes you also, William. [laughter] >> So, that was our video.
