VLA 2.0 vs. FSD in Amsterdam — Part 3: Comparing XPENG & Tesla - CleanTechnica (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the first two parts of this series, I explored the XPENG L03 with VLA 2.0 and the Tesla Model 3 with FSD from my recent test in Amsterdam. The focus of those two articles was on each intelligent driving system. However, the AI-based systems are just part of the entire package and interact with other vehicle attributes. Comparing them back-to-back, the noticeable differences go beyond just intelligent driving. Overall, the Tesla suspension felt a little more detached but harsher. I felt like I
VLA 2.0 vs. FSD in Amsterdam — Part 2: Tesla Model 3 - CleanTechnica (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the first part of this series, we rode in an XPENG L03 with VLA 2.0 in Amsterdam. For context, it is best to read that article first. In the second part, we switch to a Tesla Model 3 with FSD. While FSD is common in the US, it has not yet been approved in China, where XPENG’s VLA 2.0 is currently on the road. FSD is also not approved in most of Europe yet, but it was first given approval in the Netherlands and has been expanding into several other countries. As XPENG was testing VLA 2.0 in Am
XPENG VLA 2.0 vs. Tesla FSD in Amsterdam — Part 1: XPENG L03 - CleanTechnica (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently became the first person outside of XPENG to ride in a L03 prototype using XNGP with VLA 2.0 followed by a Tesla Model 3 using FSD on the same roads. Many have experienced FSD, but not on roads where VLA 2.0 is available. People have also driven or ridden in cars with VLA 2.0 in markets where FSD is not approved. I have previously driven with VLA 2.0 in Guangzhou and Beijing and ridden along in Munich. The Netherlands became the first place in Europe to allow FSD. XPENG was testing an
Jackery SolarVault 3 Shows Potential To Scale From Balcony To Whole Home - CleanTechnica (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, I wrote about the new Jackery EnergyGuard Max 100 kWh battery at IFA Berlin. This large capacity offers customers home energy storage to easily cover their needs as electrification evolves. Those with large, fully electrified homes, solar arrays and multiple EVs would still have capacity left to participate in virtual power plants (VPP). However, the large battery goes beyond the needs or means of many customers. Even for people who could put much of the capacity to use, many may be r
IFA Berlin Recap Part 2: More Diverse Sustainability Approaches - CleanTechnica (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Earlier this week, IFA Berlin wrapped up. If there was a consistent theme around clean technology, it was that sustainability is not just one thing, but a diverse range of approaches. Some of the innovations that we focus on in the US have become routine in Germany. Although I had not been to IFA before, I got the sense that sustainability was not as prevalent in messaging as it was in the past. Heat pumps seemed to be the norm. Induction cooktops greatly outnumbered gas or resistance. Energy ef
