    Hello! Wanted to add some points that we didn’t squeeze into the discussion: - it doesn’t have a single pedal drive mode! - it has two levels of regen but we haven’t tried that out yet - not having wireless CarPlay is annoying. But the location for the USB ports is even more annoying. It’s Ina tray under the wireless chargers. Had to step out, crouch down to plug in the cable. But, as an owner you’ll do it just once. (Buy a cable for the car) Link to image - drive.google.com/file/d/1-9LB3zds_BRJrcgWNJGlZLlUMSPvGcHg/view?usp=drivesdk - The infotainment screen in portrait mode pops into your field of vision. So, best used in horizontal/landscape mode while driving. - Yes, it has ADAS tech. No, I did not test it. We had only 3-4 hours with the car. - Sound system is impressive! 12 speakers or thereabouts! - The quietness of the Premium variant was impressive. Not easy to pull off. Have a great weekend!

    I remember Shumi once mentioned that he was afraid that one day MotorInc would become so big that they would no longer be able to reply to every comment and have conversations with viewers in the comment section. By putting your content behind a paywall, you have kinda made sure that will never happen. I love this channel so much but I can't help but feel alienated. I am glad that MotorInc First is still free to watch. I have a lot of respect for your approach to automotive journalism. But as someone who alread pays 150-something rupees every month for KZread premium, despite how much I love this channel, I can not justify paying another ₹400 for this membership. So all the very best to you and your team. This is still one of the best channels out there. I will continue to watch what I can :)

    Kudos to BYD! They’ve done an incredible job with the seal. I really do believe that this car is going to reform what we perceive as value at that price point- for that kind of car. I also believe it’ll be instrumental at converting die hard ICE fans into EV owners. 500 plus horsepower at 50L is just too good to be true.

    @@motorinc My point is not about BYD, which is an actual Chinese brand. It's akin to Tata, Mahindra selling their products overseas. My point was more on how American and European brands are being devalued due to their change in ownership. Ultimately my point was that we need to rise above petty politics and start appreciating products for their actual worth. So yes, I agree with you. 🙂❤️

    First impression of the design of the car, it looks better than expected (yes I know it looks like the Porsche Taycan). The specs looks good for an EV compared to the more expensive options like the BMW & Mercedes. If they can concentrate a bit more on the interior cabin design, fit & finish, this will "Seal" the deal for many of us!🤪 I think the ideal scenario for BYD would be, have a manufacturing unit here in our country, give employment to our people, pay the tax to our country & take a part of their profits to their home country China, that would be good for both countries as that helps to build trust b/w the two nations. Other than that, I'm certainly running out of words to describe the kind of videos you put out, the effort you put behind every video, the quality of the content & the way it's presented. Like it said before, this channel is stronger than drugs in terms of addiction. 💛❤

    It would take a Costner(d) to make sense of the value proposition brought on by BYD's Waterworld, at least for the initial years. But it's a great and confident product, one that steals some of that desirability glitz off that EV6. Lovely First Impressions, as always. Karthik's spontaneity, vim and eagerness to get up, close and confidential with a car, played off against Shumi's sard(i)oniq wit-this truly is top tier KZread. Keep this coming, guys.

    Umm so I am about 6'2" and have a broad physique, so naturally I have limited options for a car where I can fit in. I am looking for something that is a good driver's car, and on a budget (15L at max), 3XO seems like a good bet. I have driven XUV 300, was quite impressed with the drive however the cabin experience was average at best. Any thoughts on that would be highly appreciated and extremely helpful.

    BYD makes fantastic cars for the price. If BYD was available in America they'd easily have taken over Tesla's market share. I like that the viewers of this channel actually have mature point of views rather than just saying "chinese no buy" like Ive seen in other channels. Here in kathmandu previously Nexon Ev was selling like hot cakes and even now it will be one of the most common car you'll see on the streets here. But nowadays every new car I see on the road is a BYD (the atto 3 and dolphin mostly). As the value proposition is simply too good. I personally am excited for the Seagull to arrive. That car would be perfect for a place like kathmandu, might take the market by storm. I am not that big of an EV fan but I think EVs make the most sense in a place like Kathmandu.

    BYD has been in India much longer than the E6. They have been selling their buses under Olectra brand, many states have been running these buses for quite sometime. I saw a documentary of the BYD city or something couple of years ago. If I recall correctly a lot of it is run on BYD tech. You guys laid down some hard hitting facts and I agree. It's all nice to sit and bash a company because its Chinese, whereas a lot of our everyday tech stuff is either Chinese or manufactured there. Something one has to understand, if Chinese products were a 'threat' to Indian companies, the govt wouldn't approve to sell them here, right? Also, Govt is very much earning from their products just like any other major brand, German or otherwise. Besides, Volvo too is owned by Chinese company Geely (but products are very much Swedish), I don't see people complain about that. Anyways, I think BYD is a very interesting car. When you say it delivers most of what its German rivals deliver (except the build and prestige of course), one must account for the fact that it is priced like 20 Lacs lower (I think you mentioned that, I haven't cross checked exact price). 20 Lacs is a lot of money! (may not be for someone who spends 50+ lacs) but that along with taxes make the difference even larger. So I don't think its completely fair expecting similar feel / finish / experience. Would I buy one if I had the money? No, but its not cuz its Chinese. Its because I wouldn't want to own an EV (Drive occasionally? sure) The aural and mechanical feeling from an ICE vehicle cannot be matched by blistering performance alone. So I will still consume the Dinosaur juice and will use it as long as it lasts. Thank you :D

I’ve been in the US for the last 3 years, EV adoption is higher in coasts and lower in the middle states. But it is definitely the future as much as I hate it. I would like to know how prepared india is in terms of supporting infrastructure, legislation for charging standards etc, because the US is also lagging behind in these terms. I feel the switch to EV will also shift global perception of brands and countries in a global context. Happy to see Mahindra doing EVs though!

    These BYD cars are very good. Honestly the performance and features they offer at the price, makes them very attractive. Do you know that the Famed Tesla doesn’t even have those hand holds for passengers which are usually positioned above the windows? Well, was that an oversight or just a bit of El Cheapo? Having sat as a passenger in a few BYDs in India and abroad and having test driven their Atto3, I would say their quality is very good. And these new age manufacturers can hold their own with the traditional big western brands. EV Technology is a great leveller. And fit, finish and finesse is no longer the exclusive preserve of the big Western Brands.

    If someone buys BYD seal, huge chunk of the money will go to our Indian Government (150% Import Duty, GST & Cess), so the money is also going to our Government to actively work against the Chinese, the remaining amount will be used to pay the local Government like electric bill, water bill, property tax to run the manufacturing plant, then comes the salary of the employees working with the company in India, who are 95% Indians, our Govt will again earn money in the form of Income tax from all those employees...! Then comes transportation, and finally Showrooms which again are all operated by Indians...again Govt will earn from them also...! The only money going to China is to BYD who manufactures this cars and their parts suppliers...! So you see, 60-70% of money stays in India...and our Government will earn 500 times more than the Chinese Government...!
