XPeng Confirms Free Tesla FSD Rival 'VLA 2.0' for Australia in 2027, Debuts on the Mona L03 But Today's G6 Misses Out

XPeng has told Australian media it will switch on VLA 2.0 supervised self-driving in Australia from 2027, free for owners, where Tesla FSD Supervised here runs at $149 a month. The catch: only cars on XPeng's new Turing chip platform support it, starting with the Mona L03 small electric crossover that gets a global reveal in Munich on 16 July 2026. The current $54,800 to $59,800 XPeng G6, including the 1 July 2026 update, stays on Nvidia Orin-X hardware and cannot run VLA 2.0. Australia is in the first global wave of VLA 2.0 markets. XPeng holds a Melbourne brand launch event on 21 July 2026 to lock in pricing and the wider Australian product map.
