[@SirKart]

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 KZbin 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 :)

Hey Rahul! Firstly, thank you for being with us and having these frank conversations. Second - as you will see - the content flow will remain unchanged. We look forward to hearing from you in a few weeks time!

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.

Finally a chinese brand from you guys and I know you will get a lot of comments from people showing hate towards this Chinese Brand, but if we look at the bigger picture, this will benefit the consumer as the value, the premium ness and the technology they provide is commendable also it will push the local manufacturers like the Tata and Mahindra to pull up their socks.. PS- BYD' Atto3 and Dolphin sells in crazy numbers here in Nepal and also due to lower Tax for Evs here alot of chinese manufacturers are launching their vehicles in Nepal.. Also K, please do check the Deepal S07 😉😉

Fun Fact: The Olectra city buses are also running on BYD tech.

[@motorinc]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@amandagrant4331]

BYD's history of exporting bus is much longer than that of exporting cars.

[@aravindbhargava1651]

BYD also told in their next generation battery cells they will increase their energy density from 150wh/kg to 190wh/kg. With that we can extract more range out.

[@motorinc]

The only way is up! 👍🏽

[@prashantsharma9779]

As limited as my knowledge is, two Chinese manufacturers are standing out in recent years, one being BYD and the other being CF Moto in the global market. Great for end consumers! Hope the market continues being more diverse.

[@motorinc]

Good picks!

[@kevinsamuel3930]

Great impressions. Just to confirm, there’s no trailing throttle in the AWD model? What do you mean by the acceleration has a build-up to it, is it like a short delay?

[@motorinc]

Hello KS! Nope. There wasn’t. But it had a slight (very, very) lag when accelerating.

[@ajinkyatripathi2248]

Again, love you two ❤️ notifications from Motor Inc definitely lightens up my day, in the middle of the video absolutely loving it! Also, eagerly waiting for the Mahindra's XUV 3XO's first to drop! Excited to see how Mahindra shapes the experience with the facelift, the only thing lacking from the 1st gen!

[@motorinc]

Thanks AT! That means so much to us. Anything in specific you want us to check out or know about? Let us know!

[@ajinkyatripathi2248]

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.

[@georgeroy9806]

Hell yea, for the, Thisconnect S02, Whoo!

[@motorinc]

💪💪

[@sarangtambe3585]

This car is the definition of value for money but I don’t think it will disrupt the ev market because it’s out of most people’s budget. Basically it’s a revolutionary car which won’t revolutionize the Indian ev market. Good to see a return to the roots with this overview. Last few videos haven’t been my cup of tea but this is great

When the member's exclusive content came to MotorInc, I was concerned in the beginning. At the same time I can understand why MotorInc needs regular members support to keep their independence in doing honest reviews and giving good content.

[@motorinc]

Hey TB, our only request is to see how things go. Makes sense?

[@Techno_Babble]

@@motorinc Yes it does. The only change I would suggest is informing why you need this. Most of us are with your movement because we agree with you.

I recently realised that MG as a British brand has a very strong emotional connect among many Americans and Europeans. But we Indians just love dissing the brand for being "Chinese". Now imagine people dissing brands like Jaguar, Land Rover, Royal Enfield for being "Indian"!

[@motorinc]

Keep in mind, Indian brands were dissed in the west just the same way. Let’s not be blindsided by bias. Anybody in the world doing a good job has to be recognised for it. Agree?

But mg is literally geely vehicles with their own styling while re and land rover actually do their r&d in other countries

[@vyshakreghukumar995]

@@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. 🙂❤️

Man, Shumi. Your smirks always send me off the edge.

I guess there is some issue with mic or audio settings... At around 25 min mark (i noticed it before too) it suddenly gets too bassy and then flat or natural again...

Hey Roshan! Glad you're enjoying the MotorInc experience! RE doesn't have a reputation for rolling out updates...

[@ArunSapaare]

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. 💛❤

Maintenance should be nominal and my budget is 12-15 lakhs I know it'll give just entry level car but I'm okay with Hatch backs and smaller cars. I don't care about gadgets and gizmos. I just want a reliable vehicle and long range.

Sharmaji! Thank you as always!

[@Akhilesh_bhatt]

30:14 thank you for saying this as a civil engineer I hate these uneducated contractors who make speed breaker just to wreck vehicle

[@motorinc]

Good to hear from you Akhilesh! What do you work on?

[@Akhilesh_bhatt]

@@motorinc I run a engineering business in uttarakhand the things I have to deal with every day all Indian Standard don't mean any thing to contractor's

[@motorinc]

We feel your pain, Akhilesh! Best of luck!

[@ksinghsumit]

I am just waiting for Tesla Model 3 first impressions, it will be so funny to watch the reactions. 😂

[@motorinc]

Do you know when it’s coming to India? 😁

[@ksinghsumit]

@@motorinc shipment from China will arrive in 45 days via ship . After elections, they’ll start the location scouting, though it may be Gujarat due to Port. So, my assumption is by December or first quarter of Next year. Or by Elon standard “two weeks “ 😂

[@himanshu-hmg]

The dashboard looks like a cat wearing square sunglasses

[@motorinc]

😁

[@rishithotchandani7376]

The seal sounds like a nice and comparatively cheap electric. Amazing work kartikeya

[@motorinc]

Thanks a ton R!

[@Dheeeeraj]

Unbelievable summary on this one.

[@motorinc]

Good or bad @Dheeeeraj!?

[@Dheeeeraj]

@@motorinc Good one by miles!

[@motorinc]

Thank you!

[@ViShNuAicu]

That rate my summary conversation 🤣 in the last was 😅 This conversation makes me comfortable about range of an ev car great stuff let everyone compet with each other so that we get a good product at good price 😊. Oh sorry SHUMIS RATING ON SUMMARY IS 10/10❤

[@motorinc]

Thank you Vishnu!

[@HunterVlog350cc]

guys the top spec has lower range as it has all wheel drive thats why so you have more motors and yes the compnay is giving 8 yrs of warrenty, battery cost is 30% of total car value or something

[@motorinc]

Hey HV! Thanks for pitching in!

[@meanderer1290]

9:43 Shumi: "Sorry, I completely interrupted your chain of thought." Kartikeya: "No no no, That's fine." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shumi (Internal Monologue): "Sorry, Not Sorry. Im gonna do I again, and again, and again! As I have done in the past, as I will in the future "

[@motorinc]

Aww cmon!

[@sonalmullick5286]

Any plans to cover the Zontes motorcycles? Especially, I feel the Zontes GK350 is quite nice. Looking forward to it! @motorinc

[@motorinc]

Thanks for the suggestion Sonal!

Sir, Please Make a Video on PPF, Ceramic Coating, Graphite coating for car, Do's and Don'ts! Best Brands Available in India ! Also there are many digital rumours in KZbin that Some Brand and make of sunfilms are legal some say only if provided by OEM, need a clarification and genuine legal advice on this matter

[@motorinc]

Films are basically illegal unless they block 5% or less of light - you’ll have to look up the exact number. This means infrared blocking films that do not cut light but cut heat should be okay. As PPF etc, they can help but they’re not essential at all. Coatings generally last about a year (max to max) after which they’ve to reapplied - so we see what they do but we aren’t fans of coatings. Just keeping the car clean and polishing it every so often will do 90% of the hard work, KSS

[@LordNaruto-tq6ro]

BYD is so stunning. I seen both seal and atto 3 they looks amazing. If BYD became mainplayers none of the mediocre local ev brand can survive.

[@motorinc]

♥️

[@Shaurya_Pant]

Please do Atto 3; also compare against Iconiq 5 and EV 6 if possible.

[@motorinc]

Thanks for the recommendation Shaurya!

[@harshitj9228]

can Kartikeya please tell which brand t-shits he buy because they are banger after banger

[@motorinc]

These guys! Asking them again!

[@siddharth9483]

Hey wheres the RS457 video, I cant find it anywhere

[@motorinc]

Hey Siddharth, some of the older videos have been moved to the members section. Do check it out! The rest of the weekly content will remain as is. Thanks for asking!

[@bonjovi1354]

i really want the cfmoto 450 mt and kove 450 also to come in india

[@motorinc]

Alrighty!

[@fieryspy6414]

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.

[@motorinc]

Hullo FS! Great to hear about Nepal! You have some great options there! Thank you for joining in the conversation!

[@arunpgi]

Please review the Atto 3. SUVs are more apt for bumpy pothole and speed breaker ridden Indian roads. And Atto 3 is a spacious electric SUV. Waiting for a long time for its review by you guys at Motorinc!

[@motorinc]

Thanks Arun! We appreciate that!
