VIOLENT MODE - Could this OTA Update be headed for the BYD Shark 6?

[@BeYonD-EV]

*SOUND/MUSIC* Following feedback from comments on other videos I tried to lower the music volume on this video and it sounded right after rendering and playing it back on my PC. But after uploading and listening to it from KZbin it sounds too loud still. My apologies! I have tried to better this and I will just need to lower it further and take this into account for future uploads!

[@Darkmatter321]

If you hadn't mentioned it I wouldn't have noticed. It could be a little lower, but this was ok

[@cloudpandarism2627]

i am driving a BYD suv over 6 years now and love it. no violent mode but with 650hp and 1000Nm i am not sad😅 nice to see they keep it up

[@BeYonD-EV]

whoa...which one?

[@cloudpandarism2627]

@ BYD tang DM 4.3. A monster SUV with 7 seats, 100km electric range and a 2.0 turbo engine in front. all wheel drive and very capable offroad. saved me many times when other cars were hopelessly stuck. i just bought the new SU7 max and gave the BYD to family to drive. but watching your review i am happy to see BYD is still up their game. nicely done mate

[@cheungchingtong]

Bao 8 will sell very well in China because it is a joint product by BYD and Huawei.

[@hostmasta]

Would be great to see this update on the shark 6!! 🙏👌

[@johnemerson5383]

I'm hoping like hell that BYD import the Fang Cheng Bao 5 to Australia.

[@Silverannuation]

It's looking like the Aussie version of the Shark 6 will need violent mode. Here's hoping it is added

[@M.j.S388]

Great video, great feature if installed to Shark will be a leap forward what remains is the longevity of these systems.

[@wazza17887]

listen up BYD Australia if this is a thing and it's coming for the Shark6 it has to be predator mode

[@jtt3346]

Would be fantastic if it was available on the shark 6

[@ZhangXingjian]

Very soon, after all, they only need to add some programming codes via OTA.

[@komisiantikorupsikoruptord6257]

With 2L motor?

[@jamesw7224]

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't both the bao 5 and 8 have front and rear diff locks where as the shark is open diffs front and back so these modes wouldn't work as well ? even not compatible with the Shark ?

[@BeYonD-EV]

@@jamesw7224 you are correct but there isn't much info on the update and I haven't seen any info regarding automatic engagement of diff locks etc. by engaging this mode. Only info I've seen is that this mode will apply peak torque from the motors at slow speeds. If it's just that then that is definitely something that could be applied to the Shark. Of course, not going to be as capable as having a diff lock on uneven terrain. But would still be useful for uphill climbs and recovery.

[@jamesw7224]

@BeYonD-EV I honestly hope they do, I was 100% sold on the shark but abit concerned with its offroading capabilities as I plan to do abit of off-road/camping with my family and don't want to get stuck somewhere lol this mode would be the icing on the cake on making the decision to buy

[@GTRSniper1]

As far as the diff lock goes and having no diff, can't they just program the motors to simply drive together no matter what? That's essentially all a diff lock is anyway.

[@user-pp6kw6yl6z]

​@GTRSniper1 my take on it is that the front and rear motors can be driven at the same time, which effectively works similar to a centre diff lock which drives the front and rear together. The shark doesn't have front or rear diff locks, so in a scenario where you have for example rear left and front right wheels off the ground at the same time, the vehicle will not move until brake traction control engages (this brakes the wheel in the air, forcing drive to the wheel on the ground). Land rover have close to perfected brake traction control and pretty much negated the need for front or rear diff locks, so this shows the potential for how good BYD could get it. In my view the biggest built in hardware limitation of a shark is the lack of low gearing for torque multiplication, but I still eagerly await some real world offroad testing in aus to verify its capabilities and limitations.

[@GTRSniper1]

I appreciate what you've said. I currently own an amarok which has a diff lock and the best traction control system there is. I just cant see why they can't program the wheels to turn at the same time non stop which would work the same as a diff.

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

Lets hope BYD do something to fix the Shark 6 because it couldn't even make it up a mediocre small climb when car expert tested it, it just stopped and wouldn't go, completely useless off-road.

[@goldfools5445]

Hey Mate, what is going on with all these car reviews with conflicting information. Can someone do a review with the assistants of BYD engineers. So when they say it’s can’t do this and can’t do that, the engineers can assist overcome the perceived problem or they can agree and call it a fact what the reviews are saying.

[@BeYonD-EV]

@@goldfools5445 I'm trying my best to bite my tongue and not express an opinion on the reviews! As you are 100% right, and without someone from BYD R&D setting the record straight my voice will just be another voice in the pool of guesses/estimates/opinions floating around right now and my opinion won't hold anymore weight than anyone else's!

[@goldfools5445]

@@BeYonD-EV great answer. Surely you can make a point with them and give us the real truth. Hey, I love your channel and I know it’s difficult when the main stream channels have so much clout.

[@BeYonD-EV]

@@goldfools5445 I can try, but I'm not a journo, so I am not sure if I'd hold that much clout myself to be able to ask that.

Fang Cheng Bao's Bao 8.

OTA Update = Over the Air Update

[@dinosshed]

Their videos are a little biased. If that truck had weight over the rear axles, it would have dragged the bow choy ming to wherever it wanted.

[@mickjoebills]

Black cap, black beard, black sweater, combined with a high contrast grade delivers a stylised look which doesn’t tie in with your content from my perspective. The key light positioned rather low accentuates your cheeks, reminiscent of a chipmunk. I hope you can change your setup.

[@BeYonD-EV]

@@mickjoebills I too feel that way somewhat myself about the stylisation, but honestly I just whipped my set together with what I had on hand and have run with it ever since the beginning. I do agree I need more lights, I'm just using two tiny lights at the moment and they don't fill enough. Appreciate the feedback though, gives me some food for thought!

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

@@BeYonD-EV I think you need more than a few more lights, garage door backdrop is probably the first thing to change, I don't care what colour clothes you wear that's your choice and makes no difference to the content.

LOL...

[@benhargreaves5023]

Watching you read a script is really annoying, maybe learn about the topic before posting videos on KZbin 😎

[@BeYonD-EV]

@@benhargreaves5023 I learn about the topic. I'm just not very good at speaking from the top of my head (I will babble and an 8min video will turn into a 20min video)! It's honestly an efficiency thing for me, writing it down and reading what I wrote means I only do it in one take rather than 50 😆

[@Darkmatter321]

Quit being so danged precious. He's doing fine

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

@@BeYonD-EV Your speaking is good, it's clear and concise, if you need notes that's fine. Hint: The music is a bit loud, maybe turn it down a bit when your editing, it's a common mistake most YT make, they they just say to turn your volume down, problem is the music is twice as loud as the commentary bits (as in your case as well) then when you speak, so if we turn it down for the music we have to turn it back up for the talking, it's easier to just move to the next channel.

[@M.j.S388]

@Beyond EV U did well mate

[@BeYonD-EV]

@@-PORK-CHOP- yep working on that. I put a pinned comment up saying I tried to lower the the volume and it sounded right on my computer, but then I uploaded it and listened back to it once it was in KZbin and it just seemed loud again. Hopefully I get the levels right next time
