    Totally agree its all about personnal preference and use. I prefer the seal because of its look, physical buttons, the 360 view. Despite there's no planner, no one pedal drive, small trunk...The first time I saw it and then tried it, i just fell in love❤

    This car is the best car I've ever owned. (I went and got the performance model). Absolutely love driving it. Insanely quick, looks great, feels great. More physically equipped cabin than the Model 3. It does need better software for the self-driving capabilities but coming from a 2012 sports car, I prefer to drive anyway.

    @DAZZMCMXCVIIII 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks for your informative review Derek. Wondered if you could shed a little more light on the drivers seat and this thing of it moving back to give you more room to exit / enter. Can that be stopped? Had a Seal for a demo and I couldn’t see how to prevent it from potentially crushing the passengers feet. Is there a setting? Also can you stipulate a charging percentage to charge the car up to? I couldn’t find a way to do that. In fact to make matters worse I’d got the car set to charge from 12.30am to 4.30am and deselected charge to 100% and it still charged to full.
    Coming from a tesla model S here so I’m used to being able to effectively schedule charging and / or set to a charge percentage. Loved the Seal though - a nice balance of model S and model 3 features. Just need better ways to get to some of the menu options and being able to silence ADAS better.

      @@UgglemannenFTW I think you have no clue what you are talking about and that you are stuck in the past. The Software defines everything not just infotainment. It defines safety and efficiency. The bms decides how efficient a battery is and the BYD software is so bad that they get worse outcomes from the same battery. Both the Seal and the model Y standard have the same BYD LFP battery. But the Tesla charges at 170kW while BYD don't dare to go above 150kW. Because they are just bad at software. Also they don't even try to solve FSD beacause the CEO thinks it's impossible. And you clearly don't need stalks even in roundabouts. It's all muscle memory. But you seem to be a loser who rejects all change and therefore is getting nowhere in life.
