2024 BYD Seal v Tesla Model 3 Comparison | Can the new Seal topple the reigning EV king?

[@mokahome]

They recently did a major OTA for the Seal that fixes many of the ADAS issues with the car. As an owner of a Seal, I can confirm that the ADAS significantly better than before

[@serpserpserp]

When you say better than before, do you mean completely fixed? Because the issued outlined in the video sound like deal breakers to me.

[@carsales]

According to the engineers we've spoken with from Chinese brands, the local Chinese market prefers the more aggressive ADAS. They're still wrapping their heads around how to tune it for overseas markets where traffic flow is different.

[@User-cb4jm]

@@serpserpserpIt’s fixed. We have a Seal Premium and while the speed chime was loud and incessant, the aggressive “emergency lane keep” was borderline dangerous as it tugs the wheel while you’re driving amongst cars in other lanes. Since the update, it’s completely fixed. The lane keep has never falsely triggered and is very docile even compared to our Mazda 3 which had a very standard lane keep system. The speed limit chime has also been fixed, it takes longer to activate, has an extra 1km/h leeway whereas before it would trigger when the car crept up in speed with the cruise control set. Now it doesn’t do that and even when you are above the speed limit, it is a very quiet chime that you can barely hear over music. All this has fixed the one major problem on what is otherwise been a well equipped luxe feeling electric sedan that isn’t exorbitant.

[@schrenk-d]

Got to drive one recently. Far better than it was. I still turn the systems off though, no matter what car I'm in. I just find them off-putting in general. It is difficult to find a good EV without those systems though.

I test drove both the base Seal and the standard 2024 Model 3, both are good cars but I preferred the Seal by a long shot. The Tesla was bordering on minimalism taken too far. Also the glass roof on the Seal looked more impressive (one peice) and didn't get as hot as the Tesla. I'd go Seal as a first EV.

So you have to accept the M3's "quirks" (12:55), like worse performance, worse warranty conditions, no gauge cluster, no stalks, no AA or Apple Car Play, phantom collision warnings, lane assist wrestles, ... and that's why it is clearly the better car? OK TESLA Stan.

[@TB-up4xi]

The 0-100 time is deceptive - the Tesla is software speed limited up to around 50km/h - after this is quicker than the Seal and quicker over a 1/4 mile. BYD warranty is definitely much worse than Tesla's - there is an extensive list of exclusions from the headline warrany - many items are covered for much less time than the main warranty. There are no "lane assist wrestles" with a model 3 and it suffers far less phantom braking events than the Seal - it's also infinitely less "intrusive" than the seal. A gauge cluster is unneccesary - stalks are a personal choice - the Tesla is clearly a better put together vehicle overall.

Excellent video , it’s definitely the seal for me by a long shot

[@isaak4416]

First and foremost, everything you've mentioned about the BYD ADAS system, is now irrelevant. The resent OTA update has fixed all that. Getting an EV, was at the back of my mind for a while as it seems like a perfect fit to my commuting routine. However, all the EV's available were either too expensive or too ugly or both! And then came the Seal... When you want to grab the attention (and the business) of all of those who are sitting on the fence between ICE and EV, THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!!!! By offering them something which feels upmarket and familiar. Not but forcing them to change their whole nature by cutting costs and calling them innovations! I honestly don't know how the Model 3 is street legal in Australia when you have to constantly take your eyes of the road for as much as checking your speed! That's not innovation, that's a bloody scandal. In fact, if the Model 3 came with an MG or LDV or BYD or GWM badge, you'd be pushing them cars back into the ocean with your bare hands!!!! So, spare me the hypocrisy. This is not innovation. This is cost cutting at its finest. Stop comparing such a beautiful car to an esky on wheels. Lucky they didn't take out the steering wheel so you don't forget you're in a vehicle! And before I get all the "you bloody commie" replies, I have no relation to China whatsoever (actually, both cars are fully made there anyway). But I wont deny my own eyes because of political correctness

[@Ginyiwei]

Great comment, every penny of your money must be spent wisely, not so called political correctness

[@DavL40]

As a Model 3 owner with indicator and drive stalks, I agree, their removal for their updated model isn't innovation, it's cost cutting and I think could put buyers off because of that. But otherwise it's not that difficult of a car to get used to. And having to glance just to my left to see my speed is not as major a safety risk as you're making it out to be. Heck, unless you have a HUD, you're going to be looking down and taking your eyes off the road to glance your speed.

[@bruce_g]

I test drove both yesterday (BYD Performance and Model 3 Long Range), and tbh I am still having trouble choosing between the two. I can definitely say the Tesla out classes the BYD in refinement and "premium" feeling, however not by much. The BYD does feel noticeably more powerful, it is much easier to drive and get used to (because of the traditional buttons and stalks), the regenerative breaking isn't as harsh as the Tesla's, it's got Android Auto/Apple Car Play, which is honestly a deal breaker for some people. Where the Tesla has the upper hand is just when you sit in both cars, you do notice Tesla just feels more premium, less hard cheap plastics being used, it's autopilot features are lightyears ahead of everyone else and I do feel when we finally get FSD capability, a lot of people will regret not buying a Tesla, but honestly the lack of stalks such and you'll need to get used to it. However, surprisingly, I don't mind swiping the screen for drive and reverse functions. Once I discovered you can get an after-market digital dash for the Tesla (hate looking at the center screen all the time), it made me a lot accepting to buying the Tesla, otherwise, I would have gone BYD for sure, now it's still a hard choice.

Quick google LOL - how about looking at offical Tesla website specifications rather than the clear early error made by autoexpress UK that has been cut an pasted all over the place - there is 682L of cargo space in a model 3 between split between the boot and the frunk, it's massive compared to the Seal.

[@Henderson10102]

@@TB-up4xi Riiiight... so before the seats are down, a BMW 5 series estate has 570 litres, an Audi Q8 e-tron has 569 litres and a VW ID7 has 532. What you're suggesting is that the significantly smaller Tesla Model 3 has more boot space that all of these. Given the size of the car plus the size of the boot access, I think we can safely say something smells fishy here. Now here's the interesting part: Tesla used to quote 425 litres themselves, and this was then quoted by reviews (not something they just came up with). Now, however, they seem to be quoting 594... curious, given the external dimensions of the vehicle haven't changed for the Highland update, and interior space seems largely identical by all accounts. I wonder how they managed to find another 169 litres? Heaven forbid Tesla be bending the rules a little here and coming up with a way of measuring figures in a way different to most other manufacturers. They wouldn't do that, of course. Never have before, have they? (Nobody mention how they quote 0-62mph with a rolling start, disregarding the ZERO part in the name) Setting aside all sarcasm, I've owned many cars with varying sizes of boot - some smaller, some bigger. I think we can say just from looking at the two cars here that the Tesla is bigger but that it's not almost 150% the size of the BYD's. Just ignore the figures and use a little sense.

[@TB-up4xi]

​@@Henderson10102 They may be measuring differently to other manufacturers - who knows, but my pre-highland model 3 has almost identical storage space to the Highland version and this is considerably more storage space overall than my wife's Volvo XC60 with the seats up, - we have physically uunpacked the Volvo when we planned a trip to Melbourne from Sydney and moved the kit into the model 3 because it didn't all fit in Volvo And I would wager yes, when you add all the spaces together - considering the lack of sub boot and frunk space in the BYD combined with the shallower, narrower and shorter main trunk, the Model 3 would have 50% more space overall. Who knows what the 495L was based on - maybe without the sub trunk or frunk and some older models had large sub-woofers intruding into the trunk space that the base model doesn't have

[@Henderson10102]

@@TB-up4xi From what I can tell, the 425 litres excludes the front boot. One review I've found of the updated model, they mention space underneath taking it up to 594 litres. Honestly, I question this more than a little for two reasons. First off, I don't think this "usable space" is really all that usable unless you have a lot of smaller items and rucksacks that ideally fill the volume. You won't be using it for large suitcases or tent bags when going on holiday, furniture when moving house, or other large items that need day to day use (like folded up prams) - that's what the main boot space is used for, and that boot is 425 litres. Second - that's 169 extra litres, which is a heck of a lot of space given what we can see of it and given the not inconsiderable front boot is 88 litres, so you're talking almost double the same space available under the boot floor... something Tesla never mentioned before? Even with slight tweaks and and a smaller subwoofer, that seems too high a figure. But even setting that aside: when you get down to a review like this, showing two clearly similar boots side by side where one seems slightly bigger but then using Tesla's "quoted figured" without questioning or addressing the blatant disparity is wrong. As was your comment about it being something Auto Express made up, given it was a Tesla quoted figure. The Tesla is more practical - simple point of fact. But in a comparison test like this, the figures shown should give viewers accurate context. "How much more practical" is not illustrated here, and the void between the two cars is not that great... something I have been specifically looking into as a potential buyer.

[@davec110]

Tesla measurements includes the space under the boot lid. The Seal doesn't. That been said Tesla back boot is still slightly bigger than the seal not by much. frunk however is much bigger.

The model 3 has global success due to some incredible engineering and features, but people don’t understand that just because the Tesla has a minimal interior, it by no means lacks substance. But no, it doesn’t have a heads up display.

[@qilu2004]

If you want a decent interior, then Tesla is out of the question.

[@cedrickmotomungu2765]

Don't agree with BYD look way better than Tesla

[@bohicajohnson7203]

Hybrids don't count. Model Y is the best selling car in 2023, so look at the Seal versus Model Y. The RWD has LiFePO4 batteries. not Li. You can't get the basics right.

[@mw2851]

I bought a used tesla model 3 2024, and after watching this video kinda feel I got roped now.

[@nisalk]

No charging pods provisioned in my apartment so it makes no sense to get electric car until infrastructure gets readily available 😊

[@janoodot]

Seal ❤

[@hoggster9980]

12:06 I see what you did there

[@atomalbert]

Byd interior design is more user friendly and safer while driving

[@SchmozzleGTO]

Just had both on 24hr test drives and Seal is FARRRR superior (subjectively.) Test drive both. Im spending €10k extra to get the Seal, like it that much more for many reasons.

[@teslapower5461]

Australia loves everything about China so I'll not be surprised if the Seal will outsell the Model 3.

The top ten best selling BEVs in Australia in February 2024 were: Tesla Model 3 - 3593 (YTD 4316) Tesla Model Y - 2072 (YTD 2456) BYD Atto 3 - 711 (YTD 1167) BYD Seal - 619 (YTD 1208) MG4 - 446 (YTD 983) BYD Dolphin - 219 (YTD 475) Kia EV6 - 192 (YTD 391) Volvo XC40 Recharge - 143 (YTD 309) BMW i4 - 128 Polestar 2 - 113 (YTD 264) Source: CleanTechnica (Mar. 10, 2024) Wishful thinking, CCP fanboy.

Tesla all the way to me. Have had many Porsches, still have an Aircooled 911. I am very happy with the Tesla model X and 3P. User friendly, efficient and quite enjoyable to drive. N

Not mentioning HUD and dash and sun Protection coating is a failure

BYD is way better than Telsa from outside to inside

[@balisingh143]

Great review, loved it.

[@sydjaguar]

when a reviewer doesn’t talk about battery chemistry and battery capacity, its an instant fail. This guy needs to learn. LFP vs NMC is the difference and the capacity.

[@addictedtosliding]

99.99% of people watching this video have no interest in a chemistry lesson, they care how far will it go and how fast will it charge? No one ever bothered mentioning the metallurgy of an ICE in reviews. Anyway, the really funny thing is both cars have LFP batteries, so not sure of your point?

[@tshikosiphathutshedzotshik1396]

Tesla for efficiency/weight reduction/superchargers. BYD for the exterior look and price. I'd go with model 3

[@tonypaca3015]

So Tesla riding is excellent and byd seal riding is good? When I can clearly hear a lot less noise and vibration on the seal and at the same time a faster car, with more comfortable seats and suspension? Get the Tesla if y want to be cooked inside your car during the summer. oh wait, be careful while parallel parking with that digital gear switch

[@andreasl4507]

Had Tesla for 4 summers. Haha no one is getting cooooked. Spain summer last 2 years. 40° and no problem at all. Just put on the AC and you will be good.

[@manojfernando1028]

SEAL is far better and affordable

[@mohammedalrefaei1908]

Good EVs but not close to the Lucid Air sorry almost near the price with ao much luxury in Lucid and better battery and motor

[@greenchutneyman]

How come no one mentions the lack of roof cover for both cars. I have been inside both during a semi hot day and it is so hot that you need to open the doors and let it cool down. It's the worst feature no one comments on. With kids it makes it that much worse. I don't want a swooping sun roof. And if I do I should be able to close it off with a solid cover.

[@davec110]

There is roof cover for the Seal which comes with the car. he also failed to mention the silver coated glass roof of the Seal which is at least 10C cooler than the Model 3. look up ludicrous feed on youtube. he compared both cars in much finer detail. also split screen comparison driving on the same stretch of road. you can hear the difference on the road noise back to back.

[@GDM22]

You can buy roof shades for the Model 3 for $60 from memory, just isn't a big deal. The Seal comes with them. Also the Tesla allows you to vent your windows via the App, whilst both allow you to start the air conditioner prior to you getting back to the car. So in fact they are both superior to normal cars.

[@ozoneA6]

Tesla losing a lot of money as well due to no right hand drive which is stupid. 🙄🚶‍♂️

[@Masakrer]

When you start off video with a lie. xD

[@SozjeCat.]

Tesla looks like a toy car. The BYD looks like a sportscar. I'm definitely picking a seal.

[@thethespian5757]

According to your ratings the Seal either beat the Tesla or tied with it in every category you ticked off… only for you to say in the end that the clear winner is the Tesla? Classic Motor Journalism.

[@carsales]

Cars are about a lot more than just ticking boxes and we review them as such. If they weren't, we wouldn't have to drive them!

[@alex135789]

The sound system alone would make me buy the Tesla Model 3 over the Seal. The Model 3 is an incredible value for money, impossible to beat IMHO.

[@zzZHua]

in china： Seal=21000~35000$ m3=35000~40000$

[@zeroCostravel]

50 years later, Model 3 is still superior😂😂😂😂😂 Annual Sales 2 unit😂

[@martinezmartinez1132]

The tesla looks better in my opinion...More reliable car and years of EV experience.
