BYD Seal 🦭- Quick First Impressions

[@MBrown]

Would you be swayed away from Tesla?

[@smaemurray]

Yes. 💯

[@mysterstranger]

Outside looks pretty good but it’s too cluttered inside like most other cars, the minimalist Tesla look is much cleaner

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Mark is a journalist, so he to be familiar with lots of different cars. Tesla is going to give him four days to test out the Highland, whilst you or me could only get 15 minutes that we have to schedule online.

[@unscentednapalm8547]

TBH Tesla is an empty promise. My ford focus in 2015 could park itself as standard, for instance. All that stuff should be included. I do love my 3 and will be getting a Y next year, but it is mainly the charging network that keeps me on-brand.

[@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726]

@@unscentednapalm8547No, what keeps you on board is all the fantastic stuff the Tesla offers but that you spoiled little child are taking for granted until you lose it.

[@gap9992]

It's got an instrument cluster It's got stalks Its got parking sensors

[@MBrown]

Haha yes very good points!

[@duyataksis5210]

Also, its CEO isn't a pathologically insecure man-child.

[@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726]

@@duyataksis5210no, he just declares war on every other manufacturer. I have never heard anything as remotely insane as this statement.

[@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726]

Stupid points. Seems like BYD are made for boring outdated people like you.

@@MBrown Not forgetting Apple Car Play/Android Auto, my lease ended on the M3 last month and I tried both the Seal and Atto. Went with the Atto in the end, as I needed something a bit bigger for the elderly parents to get in more easily and didn't like the Y. Found the Atto a good compromise as its cabin tech is close to that of Tesla. (side load Netflix and other Android apps too). Really nice car to drive and I'm back to driving a car that isn't common on the roads! 8-) BYD in Stockport where great.

[@cokyrobes]

Good to hear your thoughts, they align with my own overall. Also great to hear about the model 3 highland demo!

[@MBrown]

Hey thanks for the comment and by the way, I’ve just uploaded my full review of the new Tesla model three Highland I’ve had for four days

[@mogensen84]

I love my RWD Seal 👌

[@MBrown]

Oh nice! How are you finding it? Looks great

[@sujeewarathnaweera]

Hello, I am really interested. In the videos I see the gauges and all screens having poorly designed themes and icons. Also the warning are not formatted nicely (there is no space after a sentence.like this) Does it bother you? Like how the screens look like really cheap? And how the icons look like they were taken from everywhere and just shoved in. If you make me. I will be the 7th buyer of this car in my country. 😂

[@CarFinanceSimplified]

Drove the RWD drive today. Very impressed. More sedate than the Tesla but rode better and the interior is really plush.

[@MBrown]

Yeah I was impressed

[@stephenclutton]

Seal does look nice. It will be good to hear how you get on with it over a few days. Very much looking forward to your Highland review and seeing whether you think that is a significant step up over the outgoing model.

[@MBrown]

Thanks Stephen 👍

[@CarFinanceSimplified]

Really tempted to go for one of these when my M3 LR lease finishes in May.

[@MBrown]

Yes it looks quite nice!

[@CarFinanceSimplified]

@@MBrown Going for a drive tomorrow 👍

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

As a Zimbabwean I would get the byd. Looks lovely and although I'm really loving the new tesla, byd is available in my country and tesla is not. If I wanted a tesla I'd have to have it shipped from the UK.

[@MBrown]

Thanks! Yeah the BYD looks great

[@muslimakhatunMK]

😍😍😍

[@MBrown]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@julesrann]

No, not yet. Despite the rubbish windshield wipers😂

[@MBrown]

Haha they’ll always be rubbish

[@jurgenhaagen360]

Lol interior tesla better 😂😂😂

[@MBrown]

I prefer the simplicity, the Seal has too many buttons and also has the same buttons on the screen
