Hey mate, I love the BYD content. I just put in an order for a Shark last month. Any word on whether the OEM dashcam can be installed on them? My thinking is that the Shark has an SD card reader according to the Shark user manual, so there's no need for that if it doesn't have the capability to have that dashcam. Anyway, it would be good to know!

At 16k kms thanks for reminding to rotate them. Have an AWD Seal and we drive it like we stole it! 👍🏻👍🏻

Cant wait for the Sealion 7. A Seal on stilts. Have a Seal Performance and traded a 21 330i in on it, couldn't beat the novated leasing benefits. Its not only well built, reliable, quiet, smooth, extremely roomy but fast. 0-100kmh with two passengers and a half full boot is a constant 3.8 seconds. Over and over. Cbarges fast at super fast chargers and easy to charge at home (1.2kw at home and free fast charging at work 7kw). If the Sealion 7 has the same drivetrain with 390kw, im sold. I said and always avoided Chinese made products but after a test drive in the Seal in April, we ordered it right away. Legacy automakers should be afraid, very afraid. 17k kms later and still loving it. Three things the 330i had that are missing on the Seal; a much better autonomous driving system, the roundel badge and driving dynamics. Everything else, it blows the BMW out of the water. It is faster than the i4 M50 for half the cost. That's value.

Amazing video !

This 8-in-1 concept I saw already in 2019 when I sneaked into BYD sales meeting in a nearby hotel. It was after 5PM so they were basically hanging around and checking out the large photos and talking about their plans. I saw they had talked about how many factories they were going to build and how to expand the product line upwards to compete with Audi and Mercedes. After that they have hired tens of thousands of engineers so who knows what they are up to. One thing that I noticed was that the manufacturing efficiency was marked #1 (with high quality). What made me giggle was "We will first beat VW in China and within 10 years in the whole world." That is not a laughing matter anymore. VW has more than 200 factories so think about how big BYD needs to be and how small VW has to become.

Los japoneses haciendole ingenieria inversa a los coches chinos😂, luego dicen que japon tiene la mejor tecnologia?😮

Recently in the Philippines BYD just introduced the Seal 5 DM-i and its has made the splash upon its introduction especially for its price that starts around ₱948,000 (U$16,154.32) for the base variant.

If you have decent insurance a not at fault claim has no excess and no impact on premiums or ratings. If your insurance policy doesn't do this it is crap and you should seek a different quality insurer. I recently had such a situation and it was no fuss and simple why would you want to bust a gut doing it yourself to save a dollar on insurance,

It's not exactly Phantom Braking. You can Switch off Front Cross Traffic Braking feature under AEB settings

i bought one last month and has been a boon for me for driving to manila and back to pampanga. traffic barely affects battery life given my trip usually consists of a 3 hour drive one way. 1.2 hours expressway and the rest in manila traffic. another plus is ev exemption from number coding. so i can go to manila any weekday at any time without worry.

Just need to verify, can byd shark supply dc loads to caravans, ie anderson connection for caravan dcdc converter (fridge, battery charger). I'm not sure it can, most caravans and campers require this connection. I'm thinking most hybrid vehicles without alternator may have an issue supplying dc much over simple vehicle tail,stop and blinkers.

Love your videos, very informative and non biased. I purchased a BYD Seal Performance recently, I'm blown away by how good it is, I'm now looking at selling my ICE vehicle and buying a Sealion 6 which i think will be ideal for long and short trips without range anxiety, very clever system also the amount of tech and creature comforts you get at that price point is second to none, well done BYD😊

Appreciate the objectivity in your video. For that you have a new subscriber!

Love to see a real life use case camping it makes sense naww I'm about to buy my first new car ever and I'm not sure what to get 😂

It's interesting on BYDs servicing schedule it has a transfer case oil replacement... What bit is a transfer case in your diagram?

In india, BYD is launching Emax 7, 7 seater ev at an economical rate of rs 30 lakhs.. Is it the same vehicle u r discribing at present.. Anyway appreciate the professional way of ur comparison 👍👍

I totally disagree with your recommendations regarding the 2 options. First option should always be to use your own insurance, this is what you pay insurance premiums for. Less hassle as you just lodge the claim and they do all of the recovery work on your behalf. Most insurers have faultless benefits now that gives you a hire car in not at fault claims, even if you didn't pay extra premium for unlimited cover, check your policy conditions. With the delay in getting parts now I would recommend taking the option, when buying the policy, for unlimited hire car coverage, as it is now common for repairs on almost any car to take weeks or even months to fix. Second option is approaching the at fault drivers insurer, assuming the liability is clear this should also be a relatively seamless process. Just check that they give the same type of lifetime warranty on repairs that your insurer does. I don't know why anybody would engage a lawyer in a straightforward car accident claim. This would just increase the overall costs which ultimately impacts everybody through higher premiums. The same goes for any of the recovery services that offer to manage the claim for you and provide a hire car. They are charging the insurers a much higher daily rate and this will flow through to higher premiums for all.

please cover why EV hybrids are prone to Fire vs even ICE and pure EVs

A reason induction motors are used as a second motor is that they can freewheel without producing voltage that the inverter would need to deal with, so can be disabled as necessary to improve efficiency

Well pray for its speedy recovery. It's all part of god's plan.

Bugger! Not good news at all! I was at a dinner the other night and conversation went towards EVs. One of the guys there is an anti EV guy who also happen to be an NRMA vehicle assessor. Once we got past how they keep catching fire the conversation went to how repair shops are filled with BYDs that are awaiting parts for crash repair. It will be informative to see how BYD go supplying parts and whether or not this guy is full of it. Good luck.

You can go through your own insurer and they fix your car and your insurer claims from the other party (you need their details though). You don't have to wait and get dicked around by the insurance company of the at fault party. If you have the other guys details an dthey are found to be at fault you shouldn't have any excess to pay.

I got rear ended last week too. I was stuck in traffic and a bus hit me from behind. Of course, I claimed from the bus' insurance. I sent my car for inspection at the local dealership and they said they will replace my bonnet and rear bumper. The parts may take about 1 or 2 months 😅

From FB Group, majority of photos published are rear end damage. tailgating a Seal to get a better look?

I think there is plenty of interest in this topic but creating a series of videos to cover this is ludicrous. Really not considering your viewers time are you?

David do you own any Digital Coins (crypt0)? If yes, which ones?

0:57 should have screamed out a “nnnnnooooooooooooo….” 😄 as long as everyone in your car and other car were safe, end of the day it’s just money

My BYD Seal also got rear-ended about a month ago, and it's still in the body shop currently. The other driver accepted responsibility and their insurance covered the costs. Although the body shop is not one of the approved BYD third party panel shops, the owner mentioned that they have worked on BYDs (and they had one in the shop that I saw that got repaired recently). I'm using a temporary hire car (hiring costs covered for by the other driver's insurance) and it's a Tesla Model Y. I'm enjoying it while I can but I still do miss my Seal...

Come on people how gullible are you all, just search you tube, BYD is the worst Chinese car manufactures in the world, and airbag don’t go off in an accident, they burn often, mechanical faults and the list goes on, all research able if you bother to look, these you tube channels pushing this shit have zero credibility!

I just can't unsee the low profile tires, if i drive it in my home town Borneo island it'll be destroyed within 2 weeks.

TOPÍSSIMA CONSTRUÇAO, E SE MOSTROU BASTANTE SEGURO NAS COLISOES

Just like my Nismo note S. Engine generator for the battery system. Ordered my Shark last week for hopeful delivery in Jan

I would like to know about fuel consumption once the battery gets down to 25% in real world conditions

Good video, but music too loud

hi does this car have radar up the front?

Go back in one year...crap materials will fall apart

according western concept, if you learning things from others is called stealing. then western countries stole china's gun powder tech, made guns and canons and invaded countries after countries. there is no bullets there is no fireworks without china's gun powder as foundation, yet when china learn things from others, they are stealing. double standard. be real about it, the whole American history is similar to a short dynasty if you look back in history. just another era, if you fall just work hard for another 400 years everything will turn around again.

Great review ...thoughtful and clear explanation of the Shark's tech. I want one ...

Do they put these cars back together afterwards, or is that the end?

what year was your falcon? what happens if you have a roll over with a glass roof?

And here's my issue with it, i think the way its build doesn't matter cuz if japan makes the same car, byd seal, it would still cost twice as much, it comes down to the fact that China owns the supply chain, they make down to the single screw in house, hence why they may exceed China in technology but they will never be that cheap.

BYD needs to build the shark in the USA they would sell them as fast as they could build them. Once Americans figure out they are better truck than most of the choices we have now ,which are overpriced and oversized. We need more choices in the US.

Wish they showed the dissembling of the battery pack

Come on, copy is good！Don't tell me you have not used copy books to learn writing, and using AI for researching now.

Why is the music so much louder than you voice?

China is world no 1 now

No thank you - - too much cheap electronics that can fail.

As a budget, yellow pack brand, they should retail at 9,999, especially with a name and no brand.

No need for the bots BYD, you may actually have a winner for this category, I'm in the outback and use a Jimny for the fun stuff, this is the perfect ute for everything else! Just drop the price a little more please!

A real radiator cooling the battery? I like to break that open water and electric . Also why it has 10 minute charging to 80%
