Tesla Model 3 v BYD Seal: DRAG RACE

Who’s ready for an EV drag race?!
We’ve got our hands on the Tesla Model 3 Long Range, and it’s facing off against one of the newest small electric cars around - the BYD Seal!
So let’s see whether this all-new Chinese EV can take down the Tesla. Under the skin, you’ll find two electric motors that provide 530hp and 670Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels, and it tips the scales at 2,055kg. If you were looking to pick one up, it’d set you back around £48,000.
Then we come to the Tesla. It also comes with dual electric motors, and these should provide you with 490hp and 490Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels, and it’s a fair bit lighter than the BYD, weighing in at 1,840kg. It’s slightly more expensive, though, costing around £50,000.
So can the new kid on the block snatch it? Or will the Tesla reign supreme? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

I used to be a valet driver for a very popular casino. I loved the job. Drove lots of different vehicles across a wide range of ages.. MANY cars that are made to look pretty, are terrible interior quality. 2 brands that I love and love the look of their cars, but would never buy is Alfa Romeo and Maserati. Interior build quality and craftsmanship were embarrassing. BMWs and Mercedes seem to fall apart when the warrenty finishes. This is what BYD feels like, but worse.

[@Leshic2]

For what it's worth, Build Your Dreams is marketing bs. Just look at their logo from 2003-2005. Not the red one, that started in 2005. Before that. You will easily recognize who it's a copy of. The name is also similar to the German logo, BM Double-U. BYD I first learned of the BMW copy-cat back in 2003, 2004, from my business travels there and seeing their Toyota/Lexus copy-cats styles in person. Still, today, I see the company as your typical, and very common Big Red counterfeiter for Rolex, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, but making cars.

I'm not sure why either, as it was never explained to us at the press event, but having done multiple launches with the option enabled and disabled, I can safely say it does make a difference; note, I use Racelogic Performance Box Touch with an external GPS unit to ensure accuracy (I didn't rely on the data shown via the BYD's instrument cluster).

Looks like the BYD has different gearing that allows it to launch better with more of a speed limit.

[@elduderino7767]

gearing isn't a thing on EVs - unless you consider wheel size as gearing, which it kind of is telsa leave a little performance on the table (eg ludicrous mode), probably a compromise between performance/efficiency/wear if highland get a speed boost option - which is likely, it will absolutely smoke the seal the seal on the other hand is likely programmed to perform at it's absolute limit with zero concern for efficiency, wear, longevity, etc

[@nickob]

I love all the attempts to make the races exciting.

[@JonnySmith107]

Matt, if you haven’t already done it how about doing the brake test twice, once with max. regen “one pedal driving”, and once with min. regen turned on? 🧐🤔

[@U-Thought]

9:19 lol😂😂😂 so true, with the British

[@JackSheh]

I don't know if that's an accurate description. The Model 3P's performance on the track can compete with the Audi RS5. But the Seal drives like a 530-horsepower Camry...and its results are about the same as a Genesis G80 EV. BYD is completely a high-horsepower family car, and its tuning style is completely different from Tesla's. 👀👀👀

[@CraigLedden]

I’d be very interested to see if the Tesla really can achieve 420 miles of range, carwow need to do one of them drive it till it dies test

[@aussie2uGA]

Isn’t the model 3 the most efficient EV of anything you can buy?

[@airheart1]

You can make it do 420.. you can make it do more.. but the reality is, if you drive like you have a heartbeat, you won’t get all that range.. the tests for range are done like some little old grandma is driving. Anything more spirited than that, is gonna lead to a reduction in actual range

[@GamingTrivia1113]

@@aussie2uGA no

[@Maarten_vd]

@GamingTrivia1113 Yes. It's the most efficient. Please do find one that does more KM's per kW/h or shut up man.

[@Maarten_vd]

Remember boys, this figure is not "made up" by Tesla. Its the figure Tesla received from the government agency that determines the WLTP / EPA score after putting the car to their standardized 'test'. So if this figure does not reflect the range you can achieve, blame the test procedure, not Tesla. Tesla is obligated to use that figure. Just like all other car manufacturers.

[@uniekje]

I don’t think either Mat or Sam knows that The Lamborghini Murciélago is named after an animal. 😂 Murciélago means bat in Spanish.

[@DramaOnyx]

Are you planning to do a review on Seal U?

[@joaogabrielroosschena9182]

The clunk while breaking might be the outer tie rod/control arm shaking.

[@danyalmutlu7938]

I love your videos. No problem there. I know I can calculate myslef the equivalent of Miles in KM but it would be nice to see if we can have the both values on screen for the elecrtic cars.

[@danyalmutlu7938]

I wanted to add BYD has its advertisment in Turkey as 'Bu Yeni Dünya' Wich translates to 'This is the new world'. Nothing important just a difference of addvertisments.

[@RobloxVideos1234]

Next, we need a review of the BYD Seal.

No. It's crap

Mat, did yo forget about the Hillmann Singer?

[@bigdougscommentary5719]

Was the BYD a performance model? All the other videos of the Seal show 3.92 as 0-60. The model 3 performance is 3.1 0-60.

[@scc1144]

15:46: That seal noise at speed is the best!

[@colla555]

As if it wasn't "sealed" properly 😂

[@XxXenosxX]

These two are one person away from being the new Top Gear. Have you thought of a travel special as a big project?

[@purwantiallan5089]

Wish we could add a presenter from Car Throttle joining Carwow.

[@jumpingparrot1821]

You mean they are one Yianni away from being new Top Gear

[@Shadow__133]

I think they can only drive on a straight line 😂

[@ThatMarkGilroy]

Would 100% watch this

[@stirbiuliu8048]

Mat Watson, Alex Kersten and Taylor Hetherington should be the new trio TOPGEAR!

[@malcolmwhite6588]

Almost named after singer, the Kia stinger-“sting” and the VW beetle-“Beatles” and the Morris van - named after Van Morrison😂

[@vincentcheng7313]

BYD is catching up for defo👍🏻 competition brings the best of each other in general. Let’s enjoy the ride and cherish the new kid in the block as end user/customer 😎

How about the Dodge Viper or Chevrolet Impala? 🤓
