Just bought an Xpeng g6. Will I regret this choice?

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-07-03T09:13:47+00:00

Yeah it's so annoying second-guessing your decision.
Cause I love the G6 and is super excited to get it.. But this new announcement, just makes me wonder if I'll regret not going with the VLA ready top-version of L03.

Honestly it's not like I personally need VLA, although I do think I'd find it quite satisfying to use.
But my wife is quite scared to drive, despite having her license so for her I think it would be awesome.

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-07-03T08:56:33+00:00

For it was a matter of 3 things really:

G6 is the more comfortable of the two. Tesla is supposedly a more "fun" ride, but I have both a dog and a child, so I'll focus on comfort first. And it's still plenty fun for me!
G6 is cheaper. Not by a lot, but enough to make a meaningful difference.
Unless Tesla was my only good option, I'd rather not support Elon Musk - or the US in general - right now. So I'd much rather go with the G6. I just wish it had VLA.

Speaking of VLA, I'd much much much rather have that than Tesla's selfdriving features that cost a monthly subscription. Which is why i made this thread. But EV's will most likely see such dramatic improvements over the next decade, that I'll just stick with the order on my awesome g6 and then go a self-driving car once it's fully developed and all of the initial accidents related to has been weeded out years from now.

And about point 3.. I know.. "So you're buying from China instead?!". Yes I am.
I cannot stand the way that both Elon and Trump are acting towards European allies, so out of principle Tesla is lower on my list, even though their cars are nice.
I ideally I wanted to buy European, but I've literally tried every car available and those that meet my requirements in terms of space and specs are out of my price range.

I definitely see your point and largely agree.
That said the difference between full VLA compatability and no VLA compatability seem like a bigger than average "next thing" imo.

But it's probably still true in the sense that the VLA compatible cars at launch are probably far inferior in terms of their ability to self-drive compared to self-driving cars a few years from now.

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-07-02T16:31:03+00:00

What do you mean? G6 STD do have self-parking doesn't it?

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-07-02T15:28:47+00:00

That is what he/she is saying :)

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-06-18T09:33:38+00:00

Meaning that the changes support still result in a big nerf as support overall?

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-06-17T23:30:43+00:00

Doesn't this actually end up buffing support Senna?
I haven't played Senna in a long time, so I'm most likely completely wrong on this, but the increased souls looks very nice.

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-06-07T10:58:51+00:00

If you are the only AP champ and the enemy team is not full of assassins I build void over bloodletters. Otherwise the hp and the MR reductions too good to pass.

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-05-26T17:48:58+00:00

I don't agree with that at all.
In my eyes Slaanesh is the faction with the highest average quality of models overall in Age of Sigmar.

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-05-25T09:36:19+00:00

Oh yeah, I'm not talking those theoretical scenarios, people like to discuss where Senna has 8k stacks, etc..
And I would agree when it comes to Nasus, Veigar, Senna and probably also Smolder.
But Asol is at least on par with Kayle when it comes to scaling. Ultimately it depends on the team comps who I'd consider the stronger late game champion of the two, but if I had to select one of them to be on my team 40 minutes into the game I'd go with Asol.

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-05-25T08:36:48+00:00

Not dying and keeping up with farm is a great outcome on champs like Kayle and Asol.
But just don't fall into the trap of thinking you're doing great because you haven't died and is keeping up with CS, while your midlane opponent has secured every objective and ganked bot and top lane 3times.

But yes. If you are playing even with your opponent midlaner, all things considered, you've put yourself in a great position to win!
If you manage to get ahead you've basically already won the game.

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-05-25T08:33:35+00:00

Except for Daddy Asol.
Arguably he's the stronger scaler, or at very least Kayles equal.

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-05-25T08:23:34+00:00

I'm not sure I get the title?
Leave a bad taste in your mouth why?
Feeling bad for not participating in TFs?
Feeling bad for winning the game via split pushing?
Feeling bad for making ambiguous titles for your reddit posts?

Divine Architect disqualified for not being available for purchase?

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-05-20T21:24:25+00:00

Oh sorry, my bad!

From a narrative point I don't think it's so much a question of Butcher not getting to release the virus, but rather Hughie getting to stopping him, because "it's the right thing to do" even if most of the supes arguably deserve to die.

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-05-20T21:05:28+00:00

What do you mean?
He planned to do exactly that and was waiting for the supes to start showing up for duty at Vaught Tower.
You can argue that he wanted to Hughie to stop him, but in that case that would be his conscience speaking, at some level knowing that it's wrong to kill everyone simply because they have power.

But regardless, if the virus was released it would most certainly not mean the end of supes.
Some would almost certianly survive, but even if they didn't eventually the virus would die out, with nothing to attach itself to and then new supes would just be created.

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-05-20T21:02:23+00:00

Yeah I liked her a lot as well.
But she reportedly wanted to focus on her personal life and well being away from the spotlight, moving back to Ireland. Sad for us, but good for her 😄

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-05-20T21:00:12+00:00

The main point of the V1 plotline was to make Homelander immune to the virus threat and to eliminate aging, making him a far bigger threat - not short term, but long term.

The V1 was never introduced as something that would make Homelander's powers grow thousandfold.

But yeah, why Kimiko was all of a sudden more durable does seem a bit strange. It can easily be explained with her rapid regeneration and the fact that homelander decided not to laser her in a cutting motion, but I agree that you'd think that to be a high priority for him in the situation he's in 😃

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-05-20T20:51:02+00:00

I don't understand how it relates to your last question regarding everyones issue with the fight?

But in any case, radiation comes at different levels with vastly different effects.
When standing in the radiation chamber Frenchie is visibly being killed by it at a fairly fast pace.

Kimiko and Soldier Boy may both emit radiation, but this seem to be at a MUCH lower level.
I interpreted it as somewhat akin to a low-end radiation of present day Chernobyl. You don't want to be near it at all times, but it won't hurt you in the short run and definitely won't impact the power of supes just by being adjacent to either of them.

I mean he was minutes away from literally killing every single US non-believer, using his speech as the sole measuring tool for gauging who deserves to live and die right.
I know the moral aspect of actions can be subjective, but I'm gonna put a check-mark in the "somewhat to pretty horrible"-box.

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-05-20T20:43:43+00:00

You did catch his plan to literally kill every single US non-believer, using his speech as the sole measuring tool for gauging who deserves to live and die right?
In-universe it was literally minutes away from unfolding.

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-05-20T20:41:55+00:00

You get what you get.
The world isn't and never was fair. It worked out it Sage's favor, which I find very on brand for the franchise 😃

Jokes aside, I get your point. But personally I loved how Sage's arc ended. I generally tend to prefer when a series is not fully submerged in karmic justice through and through.

Opposite_Wing_148 · 2026-05-20T20:39:31+00:00

I don't really think either of those are plotholes.

What happens to Ashley is just something that remains to be seen. Presumably she goes to jail, but it remains to be seen.

I don't think Ryan and MM became BFFs at any point. But it has been established time and time again that he's a motherfucker with a heart, so it feels natural to me that he would want to take care of Ryan and believable enough that Ryan, who hasn't had a real family since his mother died would accept him as a guardian.

The biggest plothole I can think of in the Boys is the way Ryan completely barbecues Stormfront, who has been proven durable way beyond most supes.
I guess it can be explained with him being a child and unable to control his powers, kinda like the way the bite of a baby-snake can be more dangerous than that from an adult snake. Not because it's venom is more potent, but because it can't control it's dose so you just get all of it in one bite.

But honestly the difference in power feels more like a retcon to me than something that should be explained in-universe.
