    Not only does screen get very hot but steering wheel does too. We are getting tint strip on top of windscreen next week in the hope that might help a little. It’s under $100 so I think it’s worth a crack.

    FYI
    I was told by BYD Australia just yesterday that all the new cars ordered will arrive with the Aussie suspension tune which confirms what you have been told.
    ETA Feb-March for Premium, there are some Dynamic variants available in stock now but would have existing tune.

    Buffeting is result of insufficient rear venting flow, rear lower qtr panel normally. You may be blocking the vent where you place your loose items in the rear. Look for vent louvers in the rear plastic panel. It will be behind these. If there are no rear panel louvers it’s a design flaw.

      According to Robert Pepper, EV vehicles with batteries and water has WELL AND TRULY been resolved. This is not an issue anymore with electric vehicles and batteries according to him and his a technical expert I do trust. Offroad capabilities are TBA, I havent done this yet until I've got over 20,000km on the vehicle.

    Do you know the replacement of the car battery after certain years? You know, just like phone battery, it decreases it's efficiency after a year or 2.
    A friend of a family friend owns a atto 3. They went on vacation for 3 weeks, the battery was completely flat and could not be revive, forcing them to replace the battery. That worries me , will that happen to sealion? Thank you in advance!

      not really related to byd, this is mainly abt my seatbelt sensors. For some reason, after driving around with someone in the back seat of my 2019 Toyota Kluger and then stopping the car, when the person in the backseat goes to the front WITHOUT leaving the car (thru center console gap) when moving again the alarm for the back seat where they were sitting still goes off. Its kinda annoying, since u have to stop and start the car again
      Hopefully that makes sense

    • @AllTerrainActionEV
      @AllTerrainActionEV  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ yes maybe it detects which seats has occupants at time of driving then ignore the seat sensor for remaining trip eg, until cars off and on/ or park to drive and close versa BYD could use a similar feature like this to fix the seatbelt sensor issue in the back.

  • @tld8102

    Is running the AC while charging bad for the Sealion's battery? Like it slows down charing speed but when at 100% the car stop charging then the AC reduces to 98% soc and the car accepts power again. Repeating

    • @AllTerrainActionEV
      @AllTerrainActionEV  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, I’ve noticed this too. It’s actually a positive sign, as it suggests that the system can draw power directly from the AC input via the charge controller, which is better for the battery since it likely avoids using its charge cycles.
      The AC input power is 6kW, with 3kW directed to the battery and 3kW powering the car’s system. Essentially, it’s running an expensive AC unit, but I don’t see how this would harm either the car or the battery. I’ve observed fluctuations in power, which might occur when the condenser requires cooling. This could trigger a high-draw fan system, creating a cycle of highs and lows in charging demand/flow.
      That said, this is just my guess based on my general understanding, someone more in the field may have a better answer to this.

  • @tld8102
    @tld8102 4 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Also my experience is the back seatbelt weight sensor is too sensitive and goes off if someone leans on the middle seat.
    Rubber floor mats are way easier the clean out orange outback dust.
    Im still not 100% confident with the build quality, but did see it being absolutely sent over outback corregation.
    Im also still not a fan of the lack of safety pinch sensors in the tail gate and sun roof.
    The use of plastic quarter panels are concerning when other cars like Toyota's are still made of metal. And when you tap on the metal panels the sound is tinny and suggest very thin metal panels.
    After coming back from a trip in the outback, the amount of orange dust is certain places is concerning, like it's not inside the cabin but in small nooks by the door hinges.

    • @AllTerrainActionEV
      @AllTerrainActionEV  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah the seatbelt sensor in the back is crazy sensitive, a bag on the seat will set it off. It has been better in the latest update (i drove home with those bags on the seat and it didnt set it off) but if I have passengers on the side seats and one leans into the middle seat mid-drive it seems to set it off.

I am considering in doing a video about all the warranty periods as I am concerned about some but for me there was little to change my mind about the purchase. I’d be interested to do a video about this soon, I’ll have to check all my facts first and then make one. Definitely some concerns in the warranty written text which some of you should read especially after early KM range.

    OK, here are my Top 5 bugbears. 1. Suspension is floaty and poor compared to every other SUV I have owned. 2. Wind noise around the A pillar is terrible at highway speeds and in cross winds. 3. Active safety features are too active - the cars auto braking when entering roundabouts is almost dangerous . 4. Sitting on cruise at 110, it feels like its trying to go 110/111/110/111. An annoying constant push pull. 5. The seat belt monitoring settings - seat belts alarms are annoying.

    • @AllTerrainActionEV
      @AllTerrainActionEV  วันที่ผ่านมา

      Forgot about the soft suspension only until I read this comment, got so used to it. Mostly noticeable at highway speeds over swells on the road - but defintley something I dont like.
      The autobraking can be fixed a bit.. in settings change ADAS from normal to late response. I find its quite okay on this setting. I've experienced auto braking on highway on normal response and the poor bloke in a tray had to lock up and almost went up the back of me, and was very aware of stopped traffic on freeway i was just in coast mode and it had a freak out - the late setting seems to stop these type of unnessasry braking events and yep, the 110/111/110 flickering just stupid BYD need to sort that.
