Differences are in the dimensions. Refer to photos.

@mrMDofficial @TeslaAUNZ Odd how summon is still available in HW3 cars though!

[Zapped 🇦🇺 🚗⚡ @ZappedAU]

@JimPine8 @LudicrousFeed @darryldeabreu I think the Phone key is definitely a big big win. I only carry the key for our Model X because I have to but I can definitely count on one hand for the times I've used the card/key for the Model Y.

Zeekr has officially launched their first big OTA update for the 7X!

Key changes:
Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) with new straight-line functionality
CCC 3.0 digital key capability
Optimised alert tones
Improvements to Apple CarPlay

Big win on the first 2 items!

[Zapped 🇦🇺 🚗⚡ @ZappedAU]

@JimPine8 @LudicrousFeed Very true. I think they need two key things:
- A good marketing team to bring out the brand
- Launch the X9, G9, P7, P7+, Mona and anything else here with sharp introductory offers

[Zapped 🇦🇺 🚗⚡ @ZappedAU]

New Xpeng site is now live and showing the refreshed G6 which was ADR approved a while back!

The video covers specs walkthrough in detail along with pricing and my thoughts on each one.

Part 3 coming soon and will be used cars!

Enjoy!

@RobGrieves Squeeze in every bit of free juice 😆

[Zapped 🇦🇺 🚗⚡ @ZappedAU]

Record levels hit today pulling 45+kW from grid during the free period 😮

[Zapped 🇦🇺 🚗⚡ @ZappedAU]

@13arm13arm Sure do!
Use it on the Y as the X does 17kW

[Zapped 🇦🇺 🚗⚡ @ZappedAU]

@sydney_ev Four wheel steering and the way that the third row folds into the boot is what stands out for this car.

Shame it’s over 5.3 metres long!!

[Zapped 🇦🇺 🚗⚡ @ZappedAU]

@Pablos_BYD @13arm13arm @Tesla I have the watered down version in the Model X.
It wants to stop at every roundabout and traffic light regardless of colour 😆

[Zapped 🇦🇺 🚗⚡ @ZappedAU]

@freeloader2021 Ah right! Since you have sig battery, sig charger makes sense as you can manage it better via the sig app itself.

I have read you can connect the Tesla charger via the smart port to the Sig but functionality remains like a charger. Sig can let you charge on solar

[Zapped 🇦🇺 🚗⚡ @ZappedAU]

Giving the Sig system a good workout today charging 2 EVs!

[Zapped 🇦🇺 🚗⚡ @ZappedAU]

😬😬😬
POV content for cars just got easier

[Zapped 🇦🇺 🚗⚡ @ZappedAU]

@freeloader2021 Powerwall 3 is only single phase at the moment so you won’t be able to maximise the benefits of your system if you wanted to stick to Tesla.

I can see electricity use in my Sig app
I can also see the cars charging in Tesla app
Both work but Sig is more modular for your needs
