            @shxhshzhz: BYD is as good as Tesla ~ 1/2 price. Extra options as bonus.
            Try TCL 20R 5G for 85 cents/mth *24m via Voda.

        You would not post the $80 GT710 as a deal because it's the cheapest NVidia GPU in Australia.

        Find a cheaper EV in Australia.

        So, If someone posts a deal for a PS5 at RRP and I find a Nintendo Switch cheaper, I can neg the PS5 deal because the Switch is cheaper?

        It's RRP, and for $100 more, you can get a better car with more power and larger battery.

        It would literally be faster to get out and push the Dolphin then to actually let it power itself…

    Would have to be either crazy or a BYD employee to get this over the base model MG4 (or really, better off spending the extra $5k for the bigger battery model)

    • ZIngerBurgR on 22/06/2023 - 23:18

      Dolphin has more features and equipment though, even for this base model.

          From what I can tell:
          - Heated front seats
          - Driver seat is electric (height, slide and back rest)
          - Passenger seat is electric (slide and back rest)
          - 360° camera (it’s awesome, checked it out last night)
          - Massive 12.8” central screen.
          - Blind spot monitoring
          - Height adjustable boot floor
          - App functionality (remote start etc.)
          - “Base” Dolphin has more speakers (TBD whether it’s better though)

      • Drakesy on 23/06/2023 - 16:34

        MG4
        More powerful
        Longer Range
        100000000000000X better looking.

        • taki on 23/06/2023 - 20:58

          Overall, the visibility of the MG4 & BYD Dolphin is similar. The MG4 has larger windshield & side windows, but BYD Dolphin has better rearward visibility.
          Your personal taste is just personal - 100000000000000X/100000000000000X mine (for BYD Seagulll - value for money & functionality - not iPhone fashion fan ;)

      This trash brand is top selling ev cars just behind Tesla and Tesla is actually using exactly the same battery for their cars from this trash brand.

        The Chinese are leading the way on EV agreed, but a great battery is not the only thing required for a good electric vehicle.

        Ah yes, since it has the same battery as a tesla so it must be not trash. As you said the entire car revolves around a battery right? Jfc and people upvoted your comment? This seems very coordinated

      • ttt888 on 23/06/2023 - 07:54

        Normally we don't.

        For a EV this class its a shocking figure.

      • ky1975 on 23/06/2023 - 15:49

        The measure provides an indication of the vehicle's acceleration capabilities.
        The importance of this measure can vary depending on individual preferences and specific use cases, a few factors to consider:

        1. Performance enthusiasts: For those who prioritize speed and acceleration, the 0-100 km/h time can be a crucial factor in assessing the overall performance and exhilaration of driving an EV.
        2. Safety and overtaking: The acceleration capabilities of an EV can impact its ability to perform quick maneuvers, such as overtaking other vehicles on the road. A shorter 0-100 km/h time can provide a measure of confidence in these situations.
        3. Everyday driving: While the 0-100 km/h time may not be a significant consideration for everyday commuting or regular driving scenarios, it can still contribute to a more enjoyable driving experience, particularly during merging onto highways or navigating urban traffic.

        In addition, this measure can provide an indication of the motor's power and acceleration capabilities.
        A shorter 0-100 km/h time generally suggests a more powerful motor and quicker acceleration.
        It plays a significant role in its ability to generate torque and propel the vehicle forward rapidly and might contribute to the driving experience as a whole,

        I think it is reasonable to make a general inference this car might have relatively slower acceleration at the start (e.g., at traffic lights) can contribute to a less dynamic driving experience, especially if you value quick and responsive acceleration, especially if there are loads in the car it would be even slower.
        I cant imagine it can handle uphill driving very well.

        This car is not built for young people lol

    Get a good Suzuki, Honda, a Hyundai or Kia even and it holds more reliability and resale value…
