Also in Thailand there’s only 1 tesla dealer in the whole country 🤣🤣 prices are so much cheaper there because of the trade agreement between the Thai and Chinese governments… but if I were in Thailand I’ll go with avatr, premium grade equivalent to 5 series/e class but price is cheaper then camry 🤣 so many EV choices over there

I never use my climacontrol. I only adjust the temperature, which can be done by using the voicecontrol "Hey BYD - Set clima to 25c" .. It's pretty straight forward and doesn't take more than a few sec.

Great breakdown. At the end of the day a fundamentally good car with room for improvement, much of which should be ugh an OTA update. Is it hands down better than the benchmark? No, but is it another good option for people who don’t want the sterile minimalism of the Tesla? Absolutely. It’s great to have more options of high quality EVs on the market

You note the lack of air system control ls and whether that is safe. You do know that you can speak to the BYD? It works very well. Hi BYD, set air to 23. Set fan speed to 2. Works well. Don’t need separate controls.

Hopefully they will bring the SUV version of this (Song L or Sea Lion 07) to Australia soon!

I asked their sales person last weekend. There will be an SUV next year.

Lovely review with concise points and well rounded approach. The Seal is by no means the best thing of all time but the hardware is all there it just needs a few software updates to get the best out of it.

I’ve had my Seal Performance for 2wks now and I will say I agree that ELKA and ISLI are a must to turn off before each drive. Europe has already received an OTA to dial back to ELKA so hopefully we get that soon enough. As someone who was between this and a Model 3 Highland for so long, it took me all of 10mins in the Tesla to know the Seal was the right choice. Great video and echoes most of my thoughts to a tee.

@@freakybeast5068just off the bat I will say that I always preferred the interior and exterior design of the Seal well before pricing was announced and if it was priced right, that would likely be my choice. With the Highland announcement, even with the removal of stalks I wasn’t put off by it but did have some concerns on driving in the real world without these. After finally driving the Highlands within 10mins I noticed the suspension was much softer than the previous Model 3 (some people will prefer this) and with so many roundabouts in our area, no stalks wasn’t a dealbreaker but it certainly was a huge inconvenience and at times dangerous because you had to take your eyes off the road to hit the correct indicator. No USS was another issue with Tesla Vision being way off in its estimations of my proximity to something, auto-gear selection got it wrong several times and phantom braking still plagues the Highland. Overall, Tesla’s advantage in the charging network and in most cases, autopilot were not enough for me to overlook the things I mentioned above. The Seal definitely isn’t perfect but an OTA update has already been pushed through in other markets to address some of those issues. On the things you mentioned, you can change the indicator sound to something more normal and no OPD is a strange but in ACC the car can come to a complete stop.

I had a look at one in the BYD showroom a while back, and I must say that it impressed. I am keen to see it compared to a Renault Megane E-tech which is very much on my radar for my first EV.

Thank you for your honest review.

There is zero manual button not even gear shifter or signal turn stick on Tesla 3. The single screen is also distracting for driver to view speed, electricity consumption, not only have to take your eyes off road but it’s very difficult for who needs reading glasses.

Why do you want physical buttons? You can directly say commands such as open the window, open the skylight, turn on the air conditioner, adjust the temperature to 20°, etc.

I was quite surprise to learn that BYD were making electric cars, I remember my old Panasonic cordless phone came with BYD AA batteries for the handset, and that was back in 2003/2004.

Good review, and having the premium model myself, I do agree about the safety systems. Hoping a software update can sort them out soon.

It's not great at the moment, I turn it off every time I drive the car, but I believe there is a software update coming to rectify the issue.

That active lane keeping sounds annoying! Hope it gets sorted in a future update.

More of a sales threat to the Polestar 2 and Ioniq 6 I would have thought, as they are EVs with a more conventional interior. The biggest positives to me are the LFP battery and driver’s display. It’s a shame about the ADAS but that is a symptom caused by testing authorities, not car manufacturers. That includes having to disable those functions for every drive. I would like to see the settings saved as a driver profile, even if you have to acknowledge what has been turned off before you can drive it.

Was wondering when the AU journos were going to get to reviewing this. No mention of the HUD, charge speeds or included kit (home charge cable). On my test drive list.

Never gpind to buy an electric vehicle, but curious as to what extent choice for BYD was a choice against Tesla/Elon.

Regarding the range of the Seal Pefromance, I have had this car for the past 3 months and I have brought it with me to upcountry twice. With average speed of 70-90 km/hr I could squeeze 450-460 km range from 90% battery easily. However, when I really step on the pedal a bit harder (120-150 km/hr for 20% of the driving) I can only get around 380-420 km range. It is surprising how fast the battery is depleted with just 40-50km of heavy speeding toward the end of my journey.

mind you your ANCAP is giving it a 5 star safety score.

Tesla does not have V2L (Vehicle to Load) this is a must have if the power grid goes down. Basically the BYD can become a massive battery (around 6 x larger than a power wall) that can run your home if you stick to the 3KW limit. If you have an off grid system already then you could use the BYD to charge your house batteries for long periods of bad weather that cut solar production. Tesla need to wake up and offer V2L like all BYD and many others.

What needs servicing on an electric car!? What's a con!

Just bought a Seal performance, the safety features can be turned off permanently

Tesla is a $10k car seating on a $60k battery.

A very minor 1st world issue, but SO glad that BYD removed that ridiculous Build Your Dreams badging from the rear of this car! So nonsensical and unnecessary.

BEFORE you decide - try BOTH the BYD Seal in an AWD version as well as a Tesla 3 Long Range Highland. I did so (Europe) last week. Even if the Seal comes with a lot of quality it still feels like a version 1 car and I will definitely recommend to wait for a version 2, for the following 4 reasons: 1) In the Tesla you get a much more firm and direct driving experience. You feel it especially while steering and while accelerating. 2) Car efficiency measured as kW to milage is lower in the Seal, probably because of the higher weight (´+ 300 kilo) and poor brake regen. 3) In the Seal the Software UI as well as the functionality feel like a generation or two older. Old school menues, different menues to control driving set-up, lot of scrolling up and down etc. Besides that parts of the SW didn't really work while I tested the car a week ago - especially the parts where assisted driving is involved. 4) DC charging is quite slower in the Seal (150 kW) than the Tesla (250 kW) which will leave you wating a lot at the charging stations. An overall conclusion is that the BYD Seal feels a bit like old school car compared to the Tesla.

You see, Seal is intentionally made to feel more like a traditional car, not everyone likes a robot on wheels. Many like me who are 35+ prefer more buttons to control different features. I personally don't understand a car without a driver display, HUD and indicator stalk... Also it's the same about direct steering and suspension, we like a more soft and relaxed driving experience. Another thing is the design, to me, Seal design is more existing than M3. And don't forget the BYD LFP battery tech, which is safer, ages better than NMC, and you can charge it to 100% every time. And you know that 250kw charging speed is the PEAK and it drops below 200kw rapidly, so practically it takes M3 about 20 minutes and 35 minutes for the Seal to charge from 10 to 80%. So, you see the target customer for Seal is cleverly chosen differently than Tesla..

Check Tesla recalls and you’ll lose all your hair 🙂

Tesla still wins for me personally at this point in time. Service costs, less maintenance. Check BYD service cost break down on their website. What are they servicing exactly per visit? The fact that the model 3 has been in the Australian market for a while and has addressed a lot of the quality issues + teslas style, minimal interior, power and range. Still give credit to BYD though for this car.
