Very pricey for a sedan and almost the same price as BYD Atto
- R00D on 18/10/2023 - 09:44
  
  Seal is seen as a more premium product I think, more powerful, sporty. Atto is a soccer mum entry.

      yeah but a atto 3 is a SUV you can't compare a sedan to a SUV they are different types of cars. Its like trying to compare an ipad to an iphone.
    - R00D on 18/10/2023 - 10:48
      
      Fair enough. Yet people assume an SUV should be more expensive? Dynamically a sedan is always superior, not everyone wants an SUV as we see with Camry and Model 3 sales.

        @R00D: yeah people get SUVs because they are more practical for camping and mounting stuff or people movers, the other reason they sit high up easy to get out and in. I actually hate SUVs they are the most ugly cars on the planet to me. I would much rather have a sedan, with good looks over "more practical" :D
        
        R00D on 19/10/2023 - 09:12

Man they love the $1000 deposit bit too, test drove an atto 3 and they were so pushy trying to get a deposit out of me I ordered a Y, like the salesguy mentioned it at least 5 times from when I met him and we returned from the drive, every time he was told no, that I had to go test drive some other cars, he launched into a spiel 'oh it's totally refundable, no risk at all, just gimme $1000 for no particular reason', when we got back he had me wait around 20 minutes to talk to his manager who then spent another 20 minutes trying to talk him into giving them a deposit. It felt like I was 17 again and the dodgy local used car yard.

Any potential purchasers factor in their odd short and kind of pricy servicing costs vs other EV's.

Edit: oh and they sms'd me a bunch about the $1000 deposit before and after.

    Tesla charges order fee. It's not a deposit. If you cancel, you don't get that back and if you go ahead with the purchase, it doesn't get deducted from the price of the car.

  So Tesla Took $400 for a Model Y that was an existing inventory in the country (Of course someone else had cancelled their car booking) and I snapped it in April 2023 and was to be delivered in a months time ;I wanted it to be delivered in the last Tax year for a tax write-off. They didn't deliver on time so I cancelled and lost $400. They should have returned my $400 as they didnt deliver on time that they promised themselves; They didn't do it but then ill never ever buy a Tesla ever again.
  
  But what i meant was every company is doing it at the moment , doesn't make it right though.

If you want to try before buying these BYD cars try hire them with SIXT car hire first they have hundreds BYD ATTO 3. That particular car has strong smell when brand new, and be aware if you get a flat tyre, you will need to buy a new one and it may take weeks and weeks to arrive. The car comes with a kit to allow you to use a flat tyre for 80km only so do not plan to go to far away. Just some food for thought. I dont think this is a bargain btw.

RRP is not a deal… and BYDs standards are not the same as what Tesla (as their client) gets for their batteries.
BYD was found using inferior batteries for their own cars, and the average consumer\CCP fanbase with a budget forgoes all safety concerns… its a bad mix… just ticking timebombs on our roads… and a clear Neg from me… its hard enough circumventing some of the blind and deaf Tesla nitwits who dont know what an indicator is for… just saying no to EV cars until the industry nuts it out completely…

But I think RRP is still not a deal and no other website will be posting cheaper/higher comparative prices like PlayStations or XBOXes…
