I built a free, open-source XPENG analytics dashboard that runs entirely in your browser

Hi everyone — this is a follow-up to my earlier post about XPengCarData and XPENG's official Data Act export.

First, thank you for the feedback and discussion. A few people were interested in keeping and analysing their own vehicle data, so I decided to turn the idea into a public project:

XPENG Analytics: https://josepinto1989.github.io/xpeng-analytics/

Source code: https://github.com/josepinto1989/xpeng-analytics

The main difference is that everything runs locally in your browser. There is no account, database, analytics service, or server upload. You select the ZIP downloaded from XPENG, the browser processes it on your computer, and closing or refreshing the tab clears the session.

At the moment it includes:

• overview, journey, charging, battery, activity, and data-quality views;

• custom date ranges;

• charging energy, estimated grid energy, efficiency, losses, charging time, and power;

• real-world range, estimated usable capacity, relative SOH, and parked energy use;

• export and re-import using a smaller .xpeng history file;

• PDF usage reports for a selected period, including kilometres, consumption, charging, and optional estimated electricity costs — useful for company-car or expense reporting;

• English and Portuguese, light and dark themes.

The calculated battery, range, SOH, charging-loss, and cost figures are estimates based on the data available in XPENG's export. They are clearly labelled and are not official BMS readings or fiscal documents.

For transparency: I used AI extensively to help create the project. I defined the requirements, supervised the implementation, reviewed the decisions and calculations, and tested the result with my own 30-day XPENG export. The complete code is public so anyone can inspect how it works and verify that the vehicle data is not being uploaded anywhere.

It currently works in Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. Other browsers have not been tested yet. A 30-day export can take several minutes to process depending on the computer, so keep the tab open during the first import.

Thanks again for the feedback. If there is a particular data point, chart, comparison, or analysis you would find useful, please tell me in the comments. If the export contains enough information to support it, I will try to implement it.

This is an independent community project and is not affiliated with XPENG.

Black residue/staining inside my fixer bottle — should I replace it?

I’ve noticed that the inside walls of the bottle I use to store my fixer have become quite dark/black over time. I’ve attached a few photos.

I reuse each batch of fixer for around 20 rolls/developing sessions, then discard it and rinse the bottle several times with water before mixing a fresh batch.

The black staining seems to be mostly stuck to the walls of the bottle. I haven’t noticed any obvious problems with fixing, and I normally keep track of the fixer capacity rather than just using it indefinitely.

My questions are:

Is this just normal silver/chemical residue from used fixer?

Can it contaminate or affect fresh fixer?

Is rinsing thoroughly with water enough between batches?

At what point would you replace the bottle completely?

I don’t mind buying another bottle if necessary, but I’d rather not replace it just because of cosmetic staining if there’s no real risk.

Visiting Disneyland Paris for my son’s 5th birthday – how can I make it extra memorable?

Hi everyone!

We’re going to Disneyland Paris this September with our son, who will actually turn 5 years old during the trip. We’ll be staying at Disney Hotel Cheyenne, and I’d love to make the whole experience as memorable and magical as possible for him.

For those of you who have visited with kids around this age, what would you recommend doing that might not be obvious to a first-time visitor? Any small details, birthday surprises, character experiences, special things at the hotel, or things we should ask Cast Members about?

I’d also love some advice on apps or websites you use besides the official Disneyland Paris app. Anything useful for live wait times, planning the day, ride closures, maps, character locations, restaurant info, or just making it easier to decide what to do next?

We already have our hotel and restaurants planned, so I’m mostly looking for those extra tips that can turn a great trip into something he’ll really remember.

Thanks! 😊

Tow hitch bike rack - should I enable Trailer Mode?

I recently bought a tow hitch bike rack for my XPeng G6.

When I plugged it in, the car asked if I wanted to enable Trailer Mode. From what I read in the manual, it seemed like I should, so I did.

However, after enabling it I lost LCC, and ACC became limited to 100 km/h. Here in Portugal, the speed limit does not change for a bike rack mounted on the tow hitch (it has no wheels, so it's not considered a trailer).

I'm wondering if I should just disable Trailer Mode. I'd rather have ACC working up to 120 km/h than keep Trailer Mode enabled, and I don't really use LCC much anyway.

Can anyone with experience confirm what's recommended? What exactly does Trailer Mode do? From what I understand it's mainly for trailer stability and related systems, but does that really make sense for a bike rack with no wheels?

I'd appreciate hearing what other G6 owners do.

Como decidem quando vender ações?

Tenho andado a comprar algumas ações e a fazer investimentos individuais. No entanto, apercebi-me de que não sei muito bem quando vender.

A minha intenção não é lucrar no curto prazo. Tento fazer as compras com uma perspetiva de médio e longo prazo, mas sinto que não tenho uma estratégia bem definida para decidir quando devo vender determinadas posições.

Tenho ações que mantenho pelos dividendos e outras que comprei à espera de determinados eventos para depois vender. Ainda assim, sinto que preciso de rever o meu portefólio e começo a ter dúvidas sobre o que devo manter, vender ou até reforçar.

Posso partilhar o portefólio sem problema, mas a minha principal dúvida é: onde posso aprender mais sobre os critérios para vender, manter ou reforçar uma posição?

A maioria do material que encontro foca-se muito na compra de ações e na construção de posições, mas raramente explica de forma clara quando faz sentido vender, manter ou aumentar a exposição.

Não encarem isto como uma pergunta de quem não sabe nada sobre o tema. O que pretendo é compreender melhor as estratégias que cada um utiliza e perceber quais são os critérios que vos levam a vender ações ou a mantê-las durante mais tempo.

XPeng G6 keeps changing my dashboard every time I start navigation

I'm seriously losing my patience with this.

Every single time I get into my XPeng G6, or every time I start navigation (either with Android Auto or the built-in navigation), the driver's display automatically switches to the navigation view.

I don't want it to do that.

I already have the map on the center screen. I don't need it duplicated in front of me. I have my preferred dashboard layout, but the car keeps overriding it. Every. Single. Time.

It's become muscle memory now: get in the car → change the dashboard back. Start a new route → change it back again.

It's honestly one of the most annoying UX decisions in the whole car.

Is this actually intended behaviour? Is it a bug? Is there some hidden setting I've somehow missed to stop the instrument cluster from automatically switching to navigation?

I'm genuinely fed up with this. I just want the driver's display to stay on the layout I selected unless I decide to change it.

Has anyone found a workaround?

est OBDII Dongle for XPeng G6 (MY24) with XPCarData and evDash?

I'm looking to buy an OBDII dongle to use with both XPCarData and evDash on my XPeng G6 Standard Range MY24.

There are so many options on the market, ranging from €5 to over €150, and it's difficult to know which ones actually work well.

After doing some research, the Veepeak BLE+ seems to offer the best balance between price, reliability, and features, but I'd like to hear from people with real-world experience.

Has anyone here used an OBDII dongle with a G6? Which model are you using, and would you recommend it?

K&F ND100000 vs Baader AstroSolar for a Nikon F3? And how do you meter exposure for solar eclipses?

I'm preparing to photograph the next solar eclipse with a Nikon F3 and manual-focus lenses.

I'm currently deciding between:

  • K&F Concept ND100000 (16.6-stop solar filter)
  • Baader AstroSolar Safety Film (20 × 29 cm sheet, OD 5.0)

My preference would be the K&F because it is more convenient, but my biggest concern is eye safety when using an optical viewfinder. Since the Nikon F3 is an SLR, I'll be looking directly through the viewfinder while composing and focusing.

Would you consider the K&F ND100000 safe for prolonged viewfinder use, or would you recommend the Baader AstroSolar film instead?

Also, how do you handle exposure metering during a solar eclipse on film cameras?

Do you:

  • Trust the camera's built-in meter?
  • Use smartphone meter, using a filter in front?
  • Bracket heavily and ignore the meter altogether?

I'd love to hear from anyone who has photographed eclipses with film cameras, especially Nikon F-series bodies.

Thanks!

Is this amount of grease normal on a Voigtländer 35mm f/2.5 Color-Skopar (Leica M)?

I recently bought this lens second-hand: a Voigtländer 35mm f/2.5 Color-Skopar for Leica M.

Today I noticed there's quite a lot of grease visible, as shown in the photos. What I find strange is that none of my other lenses look like this.

Is this normal for this particular lens, or should I be concerned? If anyone owns the same lens, could you please check if yours looks similar?

Thanks!

Xpeng v5.9.5 – How Do You Automate Sentry Mode with XCombo Locations?

My car recently updated to version 5.9.5, and I've been trying to create an XCombo to automatically control Sentry Mode based on my location.

What I want is:

- When I arrive home: Sentry Mode should automatically turn off.

- When I'm away from home: Sentry Mode should automatically turn on.

I've tried creating a few XCombos myself, but they don't seem to work correctly. Sentry Mode always ends up turning on, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if my logic is incorrect.

Would anyone be willing to share a working XCombo for this? A screenshot or step-by-step setup would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Would you simplify my Leica M6 kit or keep the options?

This is the travel kit I currently bring with my Leica M6.

-Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.5 Aspherical

-Voigtländer Color-Skopar 35mm f/2.5

-Funleader Artizlab 35mm f/1.4

-Brightin Star 28mm pancake

I also own a Leica CL with a Summicron-C 40mm, although I'm considering selling the CL. I love the 40mm, but I don't enjoy using it on the M6 because it brings up the 50mm framelines.

Looking at my negatives, around 90% of my photos are taken with either the 35mm or the 50mm. The 28mm only comes out occasionally for interiors or when I need something wider.

Lately I've been wondering if I should simplify the kit instead of adding more gear. I'm thinking about selling the Artizlab (and maybe even the CL) rather than buying another lens.

At the same time, I sometimes wonder if a 75mm or 90mm would actually add something useful for family events and portraits, or if it would just end up sitting on the shelf.

If this were your kit, would you simplify it, replace anything, or just keep it as it is?

How much longer until the current beta becomes public?

Does anyone know when the next software update is expected to be released?

There are several new features in the beta that I'd really like to start using, and it feels like the beta version has been around for quite a long time now.

Has Xpeng shared any timeline for the public rollout? Are we talking weeks, months, or is there still no official information?

I'd love to hear if anyone has more details or if other owners are waiting for the same update.

Compact Auto Flash for Leica M6 (Non-TTL) – Any Recommendations?

I'm looking for a modern automatic flash for a Leica M6 (non-TTL).

I currently own a Godox iM22 and really like its size, but I'd prefer something with a rechargeable USB-C battery and automatic exposure capability.

I've looked at the Godox iA32, but honestly it seems a bit too large for what I need. This is mainly for casual family photos and snapshots, so portability is more important than power.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Ideally something compact, modern, USB-C rechargeable, and with an auto mode that works well on a non-TTL M6.
