Visiting XPENG HQ

(Last updated: 01.11.2025)

Before Departure

After one and a half years as an XPENG owner and active beta tester, it’s finally time to visit XPENG’s hometown — Guangzhou.
From November 5–6, I’ll be attending the XPENG AI Tech Day 2025 and the Global Super XPENGer event, hosted at XPENG’s new headquarters and manufacturing facilities.

This will be a rare opportunity to see how the technology and innovation I’ve followed from afar actually come to life behind the scenes.
It’s also a chance to meet some of the teams I’ve collaborated with remotely.

I’ve chosen to extend my stay until November 12 — partly to experience Guangzhou and China for the first time, but also to spend additional days meeting XPENG engineers and teams I’ve worked closely with over the past year: the ADAS team, the Smart Cabin and XOS team, the Mobile App team, and the OTA team, among others.

Over the coming days, I’ll update this page with photos, reflections, and short videos — a kind of travel log from inside XPENG’s world of smart mobility.

For now, preparation mode — very soon, the real journey begins.

A Glimpse of Where I’m Heading

Before the trip begins, here’s a look at where it all happens — XPENG’s new global headquarters in Guangzhou.

This short drone flythrough captures the scale and atmosphere of the place where XPENG’s innovation takes form: from AI and ADAS development to design, software, and future mobility concepts.
