Wow! I will go and have a look for myself at Shenzhen and the BYD headquarters. What BYD are producing is world beating. Very glad to have our Atto 3 as it's been wonderful for the last two years. Maybe there's a Sea Lion 7 with my name on it!

Byds engineering diversity is absolutely amazing. Trains, cars, robotic technology. The hidden R&D must be something else.

I read their press release about their mask making during the early days of the pandemic. Wuhan went into lockdown in Jan 2020, BYD decided to start making masks, and by FEBURARY 2020, they were making 5 million masks PER DAY in one of their factories, accounting for a quarter of China's mask production. So from beginning the R&D into making masks to becoming the single largest mask factory in the world took about 15 days. Madness.

Not getting to see you accelerate that Yangwang U9 somewhat saddens me a lot. A fellow Indonesian youtuber, CVT Indonesia was allowed inside Aion Hyper SSR and he also documented its crazy-fast acceleration kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6fKZqJni95gfas . It claims that it can reach 0-100 kph in 1.9s. It managed to do that in 2.2s with 2 passengers inside so that's not too far off. How come BYD isn't allowing you to do just that ? or at least do so under supervision of trained specialist driver..?
