Picking up our BYD Atto 3!

It is finally here! We collect our long-term - and maybe permanent - BYD Auto 3 from BYD Auckland.
We get a brief run-through of key features, and learn the basics. This is not a comprehensive walk through, that will come!
Thank to BYD NZ and BYD Auckland for their support.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Congratulations Richard, Sally and Maeve! Thanks for sharing the detailed delivery handover and enjoy the new car! ❤️🚗

[@rudolfdsilva2844]

I truly liked this video because the sales rep explained everything in detail to the customer. This what is expected by every prospective buyer. I have seen the sales guys in India and in the gulf standing aside and letting the customer do his own assessment which is very unprofessional way to deliver the product to the buyer. Congrats to you both on the purchase of this SUV. I'm waiting for it's arrival in India. Thank you and all the best and safe rides.

[@ellas40]

Congratulations on your new car! I'm not a fan of that interior at all trying to be a jet or something but it's bang for your buck and shows Tesla they can compete even though they are in business together with their batteries etc. Also I think the seal 3 looks damn impressive over the atto 3 but yer practicality and all that depends on what you need again performance and mileage for an ev it's really good renenver the longer you wait the cheaper batteries and production costs, it would be best to wait and ponder what the resale value might be in 4-5 yrs but short term can't beat that price/value with everyone jumping in for a piece of that pie!

I love this car. But I've just seen a video from the electric Viking and he was saying people have been messed about with the warranty of this car in Australia. I'm in the UK and hope they don't do this when they hopefully come to the UK. Have you been told about the warranty issue in New Zealand??

[@view_360_Andrew]

It seems that the warranty incident is caused by BYD’s Australia exclusive dealer partner

[@g0fum]

@@view_360_Andrew I had thought that. So New Zealand hasn't had any issues with warranty from BYD? Can you tell me what you get warranty wise as I'm hoping to get one when it comes to the UK. And do you like it so far?

[@view_360_Andrew]

@@g0fum Sorry, I am in Australia rather than New Zealand, then I am not sure about the policy in NZ, but I heard about that Australia's status about BYD is somehow unique compared with other countries. I have entered into the demo car in Brisbane, as for my personal point of view, the interior looks more premium than what saw in video, but the interior space is a little bit limited for me whose height is183cm. Considering that my previous cars including BenzGL and Prius are spacious interiorly compared with Atto 3, I am hesistated about whether to buy it currently. Anyway used as a commuting vehicle, it would be fully qualified especially in UK where the mileage requirement is not so intensive VS Australia

[@g0fum]

@@view_360_Andrew AHH I see. Yeah I think with the fact the Atto3 being bigger and more spacious than our current ice vehicle it will do the job easily. I'm still looking and researching our first electric vehicle as we do need at least 300 miles minimum for us to be able to do our trips to see family and friends who live on the other side of the country. But for every day mileage it would be fine for a 250 miles.

[@view_360_Andrew]

@@g0fum Maybe the next generation of BYD sealion is more fit for you considering the mileage you expetected. By the way, just remind that some people remark all EV vehicles including BYD and Tesla will consume more electricity running at the speed 100 KM/H or above than driving in urban. Thus the mileage will reach only around 60% of the claimed mileage if the trip is all in highway.

Yes they can change distributor though BYD signed off on it which is disappointing, this should have been sorted out a LONG time ago..
