One of the challenges is raising the management fees (double if not triple) so that the JMC can build a new substation and apply and pay for new infrastructure for additional power from TNB so that the condo can accommodate additional load like EV charger and won't suffer from potential power shortages due to overloading the existing power lines which didn't account for EV charging when they were being built.
We just got our Dolphin from Sisma as well 2 weeks ago. Been loving the car allot. BTW the front arm rest area 13:58 of the video is the wireless charger for the high spec version to keep the phone from sliding out.
I very like this video! I like these genuine, un-scripted first impressions and also that you tested a «normal» car. I have owned a BYD Dolphin for 9 months (20,000 km) and can fully confirm the statements in the video. I bought the extended version (150 kW, 60 kWh); not because I need its range or performance, but because it has better features and I like its colours better.
You lucky people... Those of us in the US are forced to buy overpriced EVs.

Gettng one soon. My Tesla 3 twin motor has been given to my daughter. I am upgrading at much lower cost. My brother in law got a BYD Seal 3.8s and it is better in every way to Tesla 3.
Hi Bobby, thanks for sharing. I am also fighting for charging to be installed in my condo. Do you mind to share what are the challenges you face from your condo management?
Back to basics: What's in it for me? where does the money (for installation and perpetual maintenance cum repair) comes from? how ll the 5 percentile convince the rest to contribute when they are not ready for EVs?
Can't wait for EV that cost RM70K, the only car that I can afford😅 I saw US scare of byd seagull Maybe I bought Zeeho scooter first, the only Chinese motorcycle brand I trust 😂
Kinda crazy to think how does the social medias algorithm wokrs? I was thinking about Dolphin, petrol subsidies and then Bobby came out with this video.
Hi, how is the lane keep assist and other ADAS features behave in dolphin? And can lane keep assist be turned off permanently in case one find it too sensitive or for other reasons?
You do do reviews like no others, Bobby! Seat of the pants, void of unnecessary tech details. I believe that was the standard range variant which you drove. The one with the torsion beam rear suspension. But does that even matter when it floats like you're "on cotton candy"?! I'm almost saying "quick, take my money"! Thank you, Bobby!
Depends. Tapi banyak orang masih suka beli BYD Dolphin dari segi reliability, features, distance range, safety dan teknologi. Kalau mahu performance dan handling, Beli MG4

The other one, the interior is not really pink, more like purple...which I do not mind even if I am a guy. I thought it looks great...two different colors.
Bobby, is the AC in the BYD car a little less cold? There is an Indonesian TH-camr who says that the BYD Seal AC is not cold enough. Is it true? Thank You
I duno if BYD is inspired by Toyota or not, as their older ICE car are basically bases of Toyota model, they have one that is basically a Corolla and one the Camry,,
back in days, sure , merz, toyota , i believe every automotive companies does exactly the same thing, but now? it's different story, not the hi-tech, it's which tech/method byd did to manage the cost in that low.
Which old BYD model like like Camry or Carolina? This ocean line BYD is designed by Wolfgang Edger, former chief designer of Audi, Lamborghini and Alpha Romeo.
my VW polo have better comfortable seats than the Dolphin.. suspension is also harder, easily noticeable at higher speed.. the big difference is the saving on fuel vs electricity.. hence, we use Dolphin as 1st option, Polo for 2nd car..

Love your enthusiastic Bobby. This or Mg 4 ??? Need to test drive.
because of bobby, i feel like buying an ev now. haiya
It’s not bumping a lot on the back?
Is it the 70kw motor version?
Hi, how is the lane keep assist and other ADAS features behave in dolphin? And can lane keep assist be turned off permanently in case one find it too sensitive or for other reasons?
I think that pink color is called Rose Gold. Huawei seems like to make their devices with Rose Gold color.
The middle mat is actually for phone wireless charge
I might want to buy this car. It's suitable for SG as well
The issue with the competition is that the RX450e was the only local model that participated. What happened to Sakura?
