In my opinion, the lack of physical stalks is a significant downgrade compared to the previous Model 3. When it comes to comparing BYD and Tesla, I would choose BYD. As you pointed out, it looks and feels like a regular car. I understand that people who have never seen or driven a BYD may dismiss it right away because it’s a lesser-known brand. However, the quality of the interior, especially the seats, is top-notch. While self-driving features are a great tool, I’m satisfied with Adaptive Cruise Control, especially since most people in the UK don’t undertake long-haul journeys regularly. Therefore, self-driving can seem somewhat unnecessary in this context.
Yeah, I prefer having physical controls for important functions. I've used self-driving a few times, mostly for reviews, and it is quite cool. Definitely not an essential assistance feature, but I probably would use it if I had it haha I'll be posting a full review of the BYD Seal Excellence hopefully this week too, so it'll be a good comparison for this.
@@darknetcs so you would spend 50k on a car with no idea of the after sales experience? what if you have something need fixing under waranty - i would personally not roll the dice on a chinese brand yet with zero reputation. Also, have you even thought about the ease of charging a Tesla vs. the BYD? Superchargers are by the far the fastest, cheapest AND most reliable network. FOr that reason alone, the Tesla wins hands down...
Depends on location. Right now, there are no super chargers in Glasgow... there will be in a few months but for the last few years owners had to drive quite far just to get one, which defeats the purpose

For the charging Network alone, you'd be MAD to choose the BYD over the Tesla...
