UK debut for XPeng on Michelin tyres

Here at Tyrepress headquarters we’ve bolted all the doors and are hammering large pieces of crooked wood against the windows. XPeng has officially arrived in the UK, and the launch event included the eVTOL X2. Billed as a flying car, this particular vehicle has – horror of horrors – no tyres. To our considerable relief, the only XPeng model that UK residents can actually buy at present does come with four rubbery rings, and it appears the Chinese automotive firm favours a particular European brand.
