      Explain? And what does MG4 have to do with BYD?

        • +28

          What are you on about with the vinyl wrap, etc? What's that got to with this deal?

          • +40

            @Mondorock: He wanted to get his car wrapped in white powder, but it infringes on the copyright of the movie “cocaine bear”. The vinyl wrap guy said he would do it, but it would cost him $5000, which isn’t a good deal, because all he would get back is $2023 from this deal.

            So what he’s trying to say is that he would buy a BYD if the cashback was $5000, to then afford the powder wrapping of his MG4

            • @danny1213: to be honest most cars have pretty good paint work ceramic paint protection is good enough except for tesla you need to get ppf if you want to prevent rock chips.

      5k for a wrap thats cheap, ppf for my tesla model 3 cost me 8k so I am very surprised you got it so cheap.

      • +7

        You could ruin the paint in 10 years and get a full respray for that price!

        • +5

          Leaving wrap on for too long may well wreck the paint anyway. Or it's poor quality paint which lifts off with the wrap….

          • @rodericb: I thoughts wraps would help protect the paint if anything? It blocks UV rays and protercts the top coat so should be good for protection? Remove the wrap and you should have pristine paint job

            • +1

              @x x: Wraps have a certain life time depending on the conditions they are kept in. The more exposure to the sun, the shorter the life. It will start to shrink and crack. There are variables which will create extremes like it cracking after two years or still looking perfect after ten years. It does need to be looked after, monitored and care taken in prep, applying and removing.

        • Might want to get a respray quoted… Hint.. they've gone up a lot.

          • @Matt P: $8k is still pretty conservative for a respray.

          • +1

            @Matt P: It costs more than 8k to respray a fairly small car like a model 3? What are we talking, 10k? More? Cheaper to ship the car to Indonesia and get someone to do it there.

            • @CheapBrah: cheaper to get someone from indonesia to come here and do it here

      • You paid 8k to get your car coated in vinyl?

        It’s made in China.

        Just be mindful that European, Japanese and Korean ‘manufactured’ cars contains a huge sum of parts that are made in China too.

        And on the flip side; you have American, Korean, Japanese and European brands setting up shop in China to manufacture cars for the Australian market.

        • Tesla’s all come from China
        • Toyota is getting BYD to help make its BZ3 electric car in China
        • BMW iX1 and iX3 come from China
        • Volvo EX30, XC40, C40 come from China
        • Cupra’s new Tavascan will come from China
        • Kia’s new EV5 will come from China
        • Honda’s new E:NY1 EV comes from China for Europe
        • New Mini EV’s will all come from China

        Etc, etc, etc.

          It's not about where it is made, but more of who owns the company, Chinese company are known to be good at cutting cost; whether by stealing design or technology, low quality parts, or by exploiting staffs.

            @luminair: Exactly Luminair.

            BYD are cutting corners all over the place and any negative BYD videos uploaded to Chinese social media very quickly disappear. This YouTube video is revealing.

            @kubrikates: You realise that the Chinese are like a decade ahead of everyone else in the EV space right?

            Their battery tech is also far ahead of everyone else.

            The LFP battery tech you see here was designed by the Chinese. The patents only expired recently and now other companies can start making them.

            If Chinese manufacturing is so poor why did Tesla see a marked improvement in build quality on their Shanghai made cars?

            Why are brands like Toyota, Honda, BMW having their cars made/designed in China if it’s as bad as you say?

            Why is Toyota going to BYD to make their BZ3 electric car?

            Why is BMW going to GWM to get them to make the new Mini Cooper electric?

            The list is endless.
            Your views are incredibly outdated.

            • @E5TOQUE: That's not true. LFP battery tech has been around for 30 years.
              Do you have technical facts to back up why a battery from BYD is better than a Kia EV6 battery?
              You don't, because the periodic table is a known, finite entity.
              The only differences are cooling technology and I'd much rather trust an established brand like Kia over BYD until they can prove themselves with longevity, customer service and warranty claim fulfillment.

              • +6

                @nismoau: BYD e6 vehicles have been used as Taxis in Singapore for at least 7-8 years now. There are cars that have done 700k-1M kms and not only do they still run fine but the batteries still take the cars 300km on a charge (down from about 450).

                Last I checked KIA are still using LiPo batterys (NMC), I keep my cars for a long time, and I would take and LFP over a LiPo every day of the week ending in y

                • @Jackson: Good news on the range / lifespan, however I don't regard 8 years as 'a long time' in the life of a car when the cost to replace the main component is significant and likely more than the value of the car at that point in its life.

                  Don't forget that half of the CO2 every car produces is in the steel body fabrication, irrespective of powertrain. So to chuck out a car in 10 years time cos it's not economically viable to replace a battery isn't very environmentally friendly.

                  My current car is nearly 20 years old, and as good as the day I bought it. Even my mechanic offered to buy it if I decide to sell!
                  I personally won't be trusting BYD yet. I'll re-evaluate in 10 years. I would trust Kia now though, to fulfil any warranty claims.

                  • +4

                    @nismoau: You might not think 8 years is long, but a million kms is long. It's probably done double to 4 times the kms of your car.

                    I also have a 23 year old Camry (the car I am replacing most likely), and a 20 year old Elantra, and while I love both cars and they have been bullet proof, neither really run just like new (they burn a bit of oil at that age, still make it to the next service) but they just aren't economical to drive anymore. EVs cost virtually nothing after the up front cost (aside from rego and insurance) , and my Leaf is now 10 years old and still driving like the day I bought it, despite everyone I spoke to giving me the speil back hen that they weren't ready to trust an EV. Come to think of it, plenty of people said that back when I bought my Hyundai 20 years ago.

                    I guess what I am saying is peoples lack of trust says more about their conservatism and unwillingness to truly evaluate risk than it says about the cars themselves.

            • @E5TOQUE: iX1 is Made in Germany

            • @E5TOQUE: I get that but the issue coming out of China now is that there’s zero resale value with EV technology being so dynamic.
              EV’s are cheap there and even cheaper re-sale yet unable to sell because ppl prefer to buy new.

              $80k car resale $50k after 4-5yrs? No way for EV. I would buy a new car.

              However, novated lease is ok

            • @E5TOQUE: Lol tell then why Tesla using the same LFP battery has better range than BYD?

              Telsa is still the most tech advanced.

          • +7

            @kubrikates: Be honestly, As a Chinese, I agree some of your said about "chabuduo" part for past 20 years, but nowadays, it is really depends on the price that you are paying for, you should youtube, some good product that made from China with Chinese domestic brand, such as xiaomi, Huawei, etc, their products are very well made and with very good cost value on it.

            And our zillion $ Subs are supposedly a deterrent for China, the country we buy everything from and sell everything too, so if we're at war with them, we won't be doing anything. The Greens pointed this out and they were howled down because they don't know Defense.. like wot ?

        BYD was originally a battery company - they have full vertical integration and are driven by obsessive attention to detail. They've also eclipsed Tesla as the world's biggest car manufacturer.

          Apple manufacturers in China because it gives them a larger profit margin, but consumers don't like that explanation, thus Apple has to come up with other reasons for marketing purposes.

        • They haven’t eclipsed Toyota as the world’s biggest car manufacturer though. Not sure when Tesla became number 1 on your planet but it certainly hasn’t been on Earth.

        • Yep. BYD have also diversified into phones, solar and rail.

          I'm pretty sure some trains in the UK are manufactured by BYD.

        • Tim Cook is lying.
          He is after cheap tooling engineers.
          If Apple chose to manufacture in usa and pays usa salary for tooling engineers im sure they will be plenty of school leavers taking up this course.

          Yes sad thing is in china many of the factory lines are worked by desperate Chinese that needs the job and work long shifts.

          In America Apple won't get away with this.

          Apple won't be what it is if its only making 10% profit from all this products once upon a time is considered great but since china opened for business the greed by multinationals have gone to obscene level.

        I suspect many haven't spent time in the car. It's a bit of fun and it's nice to see something different. The quality of everything is quite good which helps.

    • Agreed! If the interior was sleek black leather like all their other cars I would have bought it. Instead, I bought the Haval H6 Hybrid Ultra as I read into all the issues with electric cars. I don't think we're ready for them just yet. Especially since they got rid of all the incentive in NSW now.

      If you're ready for one and want something bigger, the BYD Seal U is coming this year. It's rumoured to be plug-in hybrid only but it's RAV4 sized and has the sleek black leather inside, not the dodgy quirky stuff in the Atto 3.

  • +13

    why don't they just cut the price by 2K instead of provide a cashback?

    • +59

      Accounting benefit. Cash back is considered as promotion cost, but lower the price means lower the income.

      • Thanks for that, never thought about it!

      • +1

        Isn't the net effect of the two similar? You either decrease the revenue without changing the cost or increase the cost without changing the revenue.

        Say it costs 40k to make a BYD car and sale price is 50k, net income will be 10k. If BYD decides to reduce the price by 2k, net income will be >> 48k - 40k = 8k,

        If BYD offers a cash back which becomes a promotion cost, their net income will remain 8k i.e, >> 50k - 42k = 8k.

        What is the accounting benefit?

        • +7

          Rebates are only temporary and can be pulled at any time.

          It also means the RRP of the car effectively remains the same which impacts resale values of their existing customer base less.

          They are a new brand in Australia. They won’t want to burn through the good will of their new customer base by cutting prices dramatically early on.

          They would also be banking on some customers not knowing about the rebate, so they don’t have to pay it out to people who forget/don’t know.

        • Should be more specific but I'm not really good at accounting. revenue minus expenses equals profit. So companies would like to keep the revenue for this season and cash back next.

        • Gross income is 10k. Net income is the same, but cashflow looks higher.

        • Market view revenue and profit as two related but independant measures. More revenue means more growth as you can cut cost…if you google it then you can see that company beat profit but miss revenue target will result share price drop
