love this. I am hanging for the SL7. I would say it should follow the timeline like the seal last year. Expecting available from DEC-JAN. Big things expected for that car. Xpeng and Zeeker on the way as well.
@@Aussie_Stu76 I believe all of these cars, BYD, Xpeng and Zeekr, will be showcased at the electric SUV Expo in Melbourne next week. Very excited to check them out!
Nice update mate. Keep up the good work. Been waiting for a channel that does BYD updates with good content. I'll be in the market for a SL7 or MYP (Juniper) soon.
I wonder what the Seal “refresh” will mean for the value of existing ones? By all accounts a slightly smaller battery and more efficient motors to achieve the same range. I’d rather they put the Blade 2 in it and increase the range. Also the refresh looks to have a new dash, a bit like the Mercedes. If they incorporated the sunroof shade from the Sealion, even if the roof didn’t open, that would also be an improvement.
You can get aftermarket electric sunroof shades now for the current Seal. Can't see why they couldn't do it for the refresh. As far as resale, it's going to depend on the price they come in at. Traditionally, facelifted cars tend to also come with a facelifted price tag to match. If that happens then current Seals should hold value, but if it's the same or lower than might see some drop... too early to tell!
The Plaid's carbon wrapped motor is software limited to 20k rpm but can safely rev to 23k rpm according to tesla engineers 3 years ago. AMG1 electric motors rev to 30k rpm
Not sure I'd want to try to do 240 kph in a BYD, after watching this YT video: *"BYD’s Main Beam Twists as Easily as Tofu! BYD’s Luxury SUVs Are Trash"* At the end of the day, the question is "Would you trust the Chinese with your life?"
@@maxhugen you mean the one from China Observer? The same channel that showed a car blowing up on a movie set and said it was a random everyday BYD that spontaneously blew up on the street?
@@BeYonD-EV I agree, the first few seconds of that video looked quite suss... but the following clips did not look staged to me. There are other videos available from different channels, China Observer has to be taken with a grain of salt. Trying to find a vid that showed a Chinese SUV bogged in sand, which literally tore apart when someone tried to snatch it out. Having seen Chinese buildings, bridges, roads, dams etc etc fail due to "tofu" construction, I'm not volunteering as a guinea pig in a Chinese car.
@@maxhugen There is a video of a stolen BYD Atto3 that got dumped in a boggy lake in Victoria. It got winched out of waist high mud without falling apart. And the doors and windows are so well sealed that the cabin held all the water in it as it was being pulled out, making it extremely heavy and difficult to winch out. Have you seen that one? Plenty of videos online with millions of views of Chinese cars appearing crap and cannot be verified as real, but you get a raw video of a Chinese car appearing as quality that can be very easily verified as real, in Australia, and no one sees it.

Great update Dave well done!!
Looks like that BYD van could have got some inspiration from the 1990s VW LT van.

@@peterholloway4812 thanks mate 🙏. Much appreciated!

@@larryc1616 AMG1 isn't mass produced, that and it's basically a street legal Formula 1 car 😆
Stink bugs have been a nightmare for European imports for a few years now.
This is why Elon Musk has given up on auto. Tesla > too little for too long.
