    Give me this at 20k. If not, i'll rather not buy.

    • smartazz104 on 18/10/2023 - 06:24

      Plenty of ICE cars you can get for 20k.

        I would advise against, coming into summer.

    How on earth rrp is a deal? There no even special rebate etc…

    • illusion99 on 18/10/2023 - 08:48

      Agree that this isn’t a deal but in some case rrp is a deal and some products are near impossible to get at retail price. Eg. Luxury watches such as Rolex, AP, Patek are almost impossible to buy at rrp so if you see one then it’s a bargain

    “Ultra-Safe BYD Blade Battery” has a record of 16 burnt cars confirmed officially and 36 unconfirmed ones through 1H 2022. BYD has special PR practice to stop negative rumours spreading, so there are many unconfirmed reports.

      For perspective, Teslas have had 57 in 2022.

    • Daabido on 18/10/2023 - 07:08

    • DingoBilly on 18/10/2023 - 08:44

      This is pretty standard. You don't think Tesla hides negative rumours, or any other company for that matter?

      Unless it's a widespread issue and 50 cars doesn't seem to be (is comparable to Tesla) then this is just a bit of fear-mongering.

      • Diktator11 on 18/10/2023 - 10:36

        This statistic only counts for incidents within China about half a year. I would say it would be a similar story to Chinese motorcycles in Vietnam.

  • moorey on 18/10/2023 - 00:10

    BYD's a great brand. Hope they'll bring in the 7 seater soon!

  • eddieaus on 18/10/2023 - 00:11

    I think this car is a game changer in Australia. All other Chinese EV brands are watching this closely. Currently there are over 300 EV/Hybrid models on sale in China. I hope they all come here soon.

    • smartazz104 on 18/10/2023 - 06:25

      For the price it's very slow, and I thought EVs were meant to be fast. That's like the same acceleration as a clapped out 03 lancer on marketplace for $2.5k. Except the Lancer would probably be more reliable lol.

      • Aureus on 18/10/2023 - 01:30

        Only slightly slower then the model 3. It had more then enough speed.

    • assailantsky on 18/10/2023 - 16:16

      Sure, 7.5s for the base 150kw motor. The snails that require a bit more acceleration can opt for the 390kw AWD for 3.8s 0-100.

  • bowtiehoon on 18/10/2023 - 00:52

    Sure a lot of no voice voters on this forum hahaha relax I’m kidding.

    wouldn't risk it … BYD catches fires randomly on youtube video - and there are plenty of examples. Sure, export models might have higher QA level but I wouldn't wanna win the reverse lottery.

    Not to mention the "resale" value after 5 yrs lease. Hardly a "bargain".

      • wce2018 on 18/10/2023 - 11:52

        So out of 5,000,000 Tesla's that have been sold there have been 204 reported cases of Tesla's catching fire. You do realise that's 0.00408%?

        • bamzero on 18/10/2023 - 12:10
          +3

          BYD is a massive battery manufacturer. I'm sure if you looked at the % of batteries they've manufactured that have caught fire it's tiny too. (BYD has rolled 5 million cars out too, though some are hybrid)

          Ultimately, li-ion batteries pack massive amounts of energy into a small space. There's potential for any of them to go up in flames.

          Though apparently hybrids have highest rate of fires, followed by ICE vehicles and full electric the lowest, though not sure under what conditions. I doubt it's spontaneous combustion

    Go for it if you're interested in throwing money at a slow, slapped together product by a Chinese company losing thousands per vehicle in order to sell at all costs.

    Cast your mind back to the old Russian Lada & Original Great wall buyers…….and see how those cars have turned out. Most are no longer on the road or had huge mechanical issues.

    Tesla are world leaders in EVs, and are the only ones with proven FREE software updates from the comfort of your home.

    They have the safest cars on the road, and the fastest, most reliable supercharger network in the world. And their technological advantage is second to none! 🤟

    interesting I have always though the BYD seal to be interesting when I was look at ev the proformance model is about 10k cheaper than the model 3 performance. Base model seal though even though its 10k less than the base tesla model 3, the model 3 still is faster and has been effienciy, and ofcourse the software and features like sentry mode and 360 build in dash cam is also a factor when choosing a BYD or a tesla. I how ever will say this, if you can afford it I would get a tesla if you can't then get a BYD.
