That would be actually a good car for an apocalypse scenario, it has its own generator so you get electricity, you can also use gas if you can’t find any sources of energy, it can float In case you accidentally fall into a lake whilst driving away from zombies, it can even have a drone so you can scout the area and check if it’s safe from afar, really good.
i mean, depends on the apocalypse scenario, but as long as its not something to do with EMPs like nukes or solar flares, then its great! could use the drone to scout out a place before going there

Right. If your drone hangar breaks, better not to be without your car while the garage fixes it. And better when the engine is serving you, instead of telling you what to do. Look up the John Deere tractor bullshit to see what's coming to cars. In fact it's already here. Car computers will lock out mechanics who aren't paying the car manufacturer for the approved software packeage, with it's annual subscription.
Well Chinese EV’s are having issues with them being on fire. Just that media is not reporting it, and anyone in china who reports on it will not see the next day.
To those who doesn’t know, the floating feature is just for safety, once you activated it you gotta get your car to the dealer and do a bunch of checks before you can use it the second time. So don’t randomly ditch it into the ocean 😂
Even more : it does not have a propellor or some kind of propulsion or steering in the water . So you better have a waterproof guardian angel that magically floats you to the shore in less than 31 minutes … 😅

@PunzL No. A hybrid has its drivetrain mechanically driven by both an electric motor and a combustion engine and has the ability to switch between which one is delivering power. An electric vehicle with generator has the drivetrain powered exclusively by an electric motor, with an on board combustion engine powered generator used to recharge the battery. The efficiency of a combustion engine varies dramatically depending on load and RPM. In a generator, the engine can be tuned to run within its peak efficiency range all the time. This is not the case when the engine has to move the car. There is also a weight advantage, as a generator does not require a transmission, but a hybrid does.

makes a lot of sense. That's how freight trains and a lot of ships work. Its more efficient than having an ICE motor and transmission power the wheels directly.
@Frankmuas no, it's called a series hybrid. It's the same operation as Honda's new accord (in low speed) and BMW's i3 (I think) and Edison's Motor's hybrid-electric-diesel truck. The engine can be run at constant speed, at it's most efficient rev as all it does is spin a generator. A small engine can be used as it doesn't need to be big enough to move the car on its own, and no gearbox is needed. It's actually a genius solution for such a large car.
It’s really weird because DJI drones have been mainstream in the West for over 10 years now so people should understand very well that NOT ALL companies in China make garbage products. It’s a really ignorant mindset.
For me it’s more about the idea of a hybrid electric is coming into market instead of the full electric systems. If you’re not familiar with Edison Motors I will highly encourage you to look into their goals and aspirations. One of them being Right to Repair with all parts being able to be ordered by the owner of the vehicle/kit. That also includes instructions and schematics.

I’m going to go right out and get one. I’m sure being a lower middle class fella I can afford one no problem. So glad we can all get in on this battery revolution.
not sure if i’d call it a revolution, many parts of the U.S. still lack the infrastructure to support a battery only vehicle platform which makes travel difficult. and travel being the one thing a vehicle should do well, it can be a difficult sell. the implementation here is pretty nice though, a gas generator built in to power a battery, but you’re still ultimately relying on the battery and once the battery fails, no part of that generator is going to help.
@BMCKINN7 Yeah, it's not uncommon for a hybrid to have that kind of range. My subaru has a 400-mile range. A prius (car) has a 600-mile range, and the Honda cr- v (suv) hybrid gets 595 miles. Using a common feature as a selling point is so ad agency scummy. You might as well say it's toasted.

TBF there is no excuse for any car to have slow infotainment, how we never made a bigger deal out of 30k plus cars with tablets replacing the dash having more latency than $300 phones was always absurd to me

More than 3000 EV fire incidents happen in China every year and lot of them are BYD 😂
@@L1qu1d_5h4d0w why so condescending? it's perfectly reasonable to have one if you're in the middle of nowhere (think, like carrying jerry cans on a long trip) but i wouldn't say it's practical to build it into the vehicle
@@Aviator7477 Do you think that American EVs don't catch on fire? They do. American ICEs also catch on fire. There are 174,000-220,000 highway vehicle fires per year in the US. 30-40% of these do not have to do with collisions and are "failure of equipment or heat source".
Cars are large metal boxes filled with flammable substances on top of a huge tank filled with flammable liquid and run on small explosions of said flammable liquid. They catch on fire sometimes. EV or ICE, it happens, it's a risk.
you understand this company is famous for killing people with its cars
As a technician, I never want to see this anywhere near my shop

@@XChronicHash pull-down motors, excessive reliance on electronics rather than mechanic devices. Notice how you don’t see screw? Relies on clips and crappy retainers.
BYD is also having fire issues
Yeah, BYD is awful. These tik-tok brained no attention span having Lyft drivers are seriously delusional.
This thing is still a very cool showcase of technology.
Still, it's clearly made for Upper Class citizens, not the average joe
@@KevinLubanskithere's also news about the quality of the materials underneath being garbage and thin, especially that tank-style rotation a nightmare to repair.
That drone thing is straight outta gtav
This car is like if someone took a road trip and wrote down things they would change on their car while on the trip. Like nothing cohesive just a bunch of random tiny improvements that don't rlly change anything
Adding a floating feature to your car makes me feel like the ceo has had some trauma.. thats the most random thing 😂
That billionaire that drowned in her Tesla gave BYD some ideas 💯
@MCTogs That happened?
@@MrComp-bw2rbyeah lol
Gonna need that floating feature since half of major Chinese cities are sinking in water thanks to their amazing infrastructure
Maybe the thousands of people who died in the zhengzhou tunnel flood of 2023 thanks to China shitty tofu dreg infrastructure might’ve had something to do with it
Having a generator inside the car itself to charge it using gas is irony at it's best.
It's called fuel agnosticism.
makes a lot of sense. That's how freight trains and a lot of ships work. Its more efficient than having an ICE motor and transmission power the wheels directly.
Better than plug in hybrid imo
@Frankmuas no, it's called a series hybrid. It's the same operation as Honda's new accord (in low speed) and BMW's i3 (I think) and Edison's Motor's hybrid-electric-diesel truck. The engine can be run at constant speed, at it's most efficient rev as all it does is spin a generator. A small engine can be used as it doesn't need to be big enough to move the car on its own, and no gearbox is needed. It's actually a genius solution for such a large car.
99% of the cars use gas to charge their batteries and move around.
Lucky if they acknowledge the warranty.
Nah this is cooler than a batmobil
This car so advanced it looks like it's about to create allinol😂
underrated comment 😂
Looks like if faked the electric conversion
It deploys its own drone? And drive in water? Even the military was shocked!
对，带有无人机版本的仰望u8甚至还有夜视仪和热成像😂
Wow no lie this has everything they literally thought of everything 😅but the price will show all of this
The double sun visors feature is fairly nice
BYD is making innovation and people still hesitate to admit that, because of it's Chinese origin. Glad you shed some light on the product
It’s really weird because DJI drones have been mainstream in the West for over 10 years now so people should understand very well that NOT ALL companies in China make garbage products. It’s a really ignorant mindset.
For me it’s more about the idea of a hybrid electric is coming into market instead of the full electric systems. If you’re not familiar with Edison Motors I will highly encourage you to look into their goals and aspirations. One of them being Right to Repair with all parts being able to be ordered by the owner of the vehicle/kit. That also includes instructions and schematics.
ITS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE US
so who cares
@@alvaromartinez8563
1) ITS NOT A GODDAMN HYBRID
Gas has NO FUNCTION for the drivetrain, only the generator to recharge
2) not available in the us
Never buy BYD
Double full sized sun shades is the most impressive feature I’ve seen.
So basic yet so practical for everyday use
Saab did that in 99
Almost every range rover had that since 2000…
My 2000 Crown Victoria LX has them
you must ve been sarcastic

I like how “pretty heavy” has become a selling point on small electronics like it automatically makes it good quality
Pretty heavy mean it has expensive magnets or li ion batteries.
But somehow just pretty heavy is now good enough, when is why beats adds steel to thier headphones
This car actually looks dope af
Wireless charging for a car that's mind blowing 🤯
I swear for 2/3rd of the video, I thought this was a LR Defender. Then you mentioned Chinese company and then it made sense lol
Right?? Ok so I'm not the only one.
wait, its not LR?
Better run that marketing before the 100% tarriffs come online! 😂
US is a very small market compared to the world or do you think US is the whole world?
Would love to see an honest 3 year ownership review on these things
BYD IS SO CONFIDENT IN THE PRODUCT THEY GIVE IT A 10 YEAR WARRANTY.
I need one of those for the zombie apocalypse.
I’m going to go right out and get one. I’m sure being a lower middle class fella I can afford one no problem.
So glad we can all get in on this battery revolution.
not sure if i’d call it a revolution, many parts of the U.S. still lack the infrastructure to support a battery only vehicle platform which makes travel difficult. and travel being the one thing a vehicle should do well, it can be a difficult sell. the implementation here is pretty nice though, a gas generator built in to power a battery, but you’re still ultimately relying on the battery and once the battery fails, no part of that generator is going to help.
Then they should move out of those shitty areas
600 miles on a full tank is actually insane..
I get 600 miles a tank in my Corolla
@@Namedoneletterebut that’s a tiny lightweight grocery cart.
Full tank plus full charge*
@BMCKINN7 Yeah, it's not uncommon for a hybrid to have that kind of range. My subaru has a 400-mile range. A prius (car) has a 600-mile range, and the Honda cr- v (suv) hybrid gets 595 miles. Using a common feature as a selling point is so ad agency scummy. You might as well say it's toasted.

Nah, he has the us govt on his side

Lexus has had that for a very long time 👍
As a DJI drone pilot, I like that feature A LOT! 😂
"So that it doesn't catch fire"...all that I ever wanted in a car right?
okay the drone hangar is absolutely wild
My friend works for BYD. The car company is booming and Elon is hearing footsteps.
This company definitely looks very promising. Definitely wanna see how it goes in the American market
Cool but it's chinese. Don't wanna be one of the unlucky motherfuckers who buys one only to find out how shitty it really is in the long run

a drone in a car is outrageous
My 02 suburban has very similar 2 part sun visors. Not new. But that one was definitely fancier
TBF there is no excuse for any car to have slow infotainment, how we never made a bigger deal out of 30k plus cars with tablets replacing the dash having more latency than $300 phones was always absurd to me
Yeah never understood that like how is it so hard to put a high refresh rate touch screen with a decent chip inside.
Main reason is most car manufacturers want to design their own infotainment devices and software and refuse to use tablets supplied by well developed electronics manufacturers.
@@manofsesame3024 tesla uses amd ryzen apu, rest still uses like 2010 phone tech from intel with ecu, so like a hybird of newish tech and old tech.
as for the byd it's more then likley using older chip software but also China has asked its largest telecom carriers to phase out foreign chips same in there goevemrent
