This comparison is ridiculous, she says they know these cars are in different price segments and claims that's taken into account- but then she completely forgets that and knocks out the cheap ones based on range and spec. That of course ignores that the MG4 has a top model with a much higher spec, which also has much better range than the Model Y, and is still ten grand cheaper! Why wasn't that one used? Then it might have been something closer to a fair comparison. But as it is this so called 'comparison' is totally pointless.

Can you compare when there's a 30K price difference. There MG4 lacks certain bells and whistles but not 30K worth. Factory wireless charger $60, add wireless Android Auto $30, better speakers $200, heated seats (thermal underwear $20) heated steering wheel (gloves $10). Why does everyone bleat about range, after 2hrs driving I need a piss and a break, and in 15-20mins will get a charge that will last another 2hrs driving.

I personally think unless it is a city only car, 400k range is the minimum for a family “SUV”/high hatchback. I want to be able to get away to the north or south to the beach without paying $70c/kw to charge (often going out of the way finding a good cash charger, only to find a MG4 plugged into the 350kw charger because the owners don’t know it can’t even do 150kw) when I pay only 8c/kw overnight or free during the day (solar). In the future finding a charger won’t be the issue, but it’s so much cheaper to charge at home. My bias: we own a Hyundai Ioniq 5, and besides the poor plastics (recycled and flimsy) we love it.

We have a Mod Y and gotta say it is pretty faultless, except for recalcitrant auto wipers and phantom braking. When driving the Y it does exactly what you think it’ll do. Very neutral weight distribution. The immediate hi-torque acceleration is a lot of fun especially slotting into traffic at will. Superchargers are almost too quick. By the time you’ve ordered something from KFC and had a pee it’s almost charged and got to move it or pay idle fees. Love my Y RWD to bits. Very very easy car to drive.

You are right about apples and oranges, comparing cars with over a $30k price difference. Perhaps a better option would have been to spec up the cheaper cars to bring them up to a compatible price range.

BYD logo shown early in video, then to not include the car that sold more than all other non-Tesla's in this group (combined) is an oversight. Worse still is that the reason for this omission is not addressed in either the video or in reply to your viewer's comments. This format looked promising but lost relevance due to this issue and the imbalance of comparing cars of such differing categories. Why set this as a competition?

@cooperonline

It's selling more due to mainstream media and reviewers cashing in on ad revenue by not discussing what's actually behind the BYD veil on the whole, not simply the price tag.

Does the Model Y also have the 7 seat option (5+2) that they have in the U.S.?

I think choosing an EV is becoming like choosing a mobile phone or a laptop, first choose your operating system then choose from the hardware available for it. With Mobile Phones you have iOS and Android; with laptops you have Windows, MacOS and Linux; with EVs you have Tesla OS.

Nope. I would go with ‘choose your battery technology first’ - LiFePO or Li-Ion. Do you want one with maximum range that is more prone to catastrophic thermal runaway and dispersion of some really nasty chemicals, or do you want more safety and better environmental credentials at the cost of less energy density, and therefore less range per kg of battery.

I think this is lope sided as you did not use same class of car for all, using the base model of mg4 against upper spec cars is rubbish, they should all be base models or same price margin to make it more fair as what the cars have Tec and comfort wise.

I guess Polestar did not pay carsales enough for you to mention the directional air vents in the rear seats???? How disappointing.

Ora but no EV6? Guess the Ioniq5 might be preferred in Australia! My choice would be PS2 (with ‘24 model upgrades), though some would favour Y. Not a Tesla interior fan tbh!

You're correct although via an app, it's possible to do Android Auto. TesAA. Not sure why people would, it doesn't provide the integration that the inbuilt satnav offers. I've done it, used it but don't bother now.

Weird logic used in this comparison. MG4 is penalised for short range but when u take into account its low price, it is actually line ball with the longest range contender the Polestar ($/km) Then in the written review, the MG4 is penalised for an alleged forecost poor depreciation value. But when u take into account the low price, u are actually losing less actual dollars than the others!

This review had me feeling a bit biased towards the Tesla from the start 😅. Didn't mentions some good details about the Polestar 2 for example. ☺️

The electric car with the longest range (...by far, mind you...) ends up in third place. Apple and Tesla benefit from favors from online reviewers and pundits that are one of the mysteries of our time.

Yes, because it's got half the space of the others, and costs way more than the Tesla. Plus, it's an NMC battery, so shouldn't be charged to 100% on a regular basis, unlike the Tesla and MG which can be safely charged to 100%. So, for regular use, the range isn't that different.

Additionally, I’m annoyed they didn’t include the BYD Atto3 in this lineup, because it sold more units than all of the non-Teslas combined in the last 12-months - so it seems like a big deal leaving that one out (especially without an explanation as to why it was omitted..). 😊
