Hi TS,

Thank you for this thread. Appreciate if you can answer the below:

1. You mentioned can remote start the car via app. So the car comes with free sim and data? For how long? eg Proton X70 comes with free 3 or 5 years I think.
2. For connectivity, can you use your phone internet via wireless connection for car data connectivity? Since car sim data might costs money once free period over.
3. For insurance, is it like insuring normal ICE car to include flood? I fear for the battery if there's incident of flood. BTW does the battery warranty include this? ie water leaked into it and spoil it.
4. For the battery warranty of 8 years, does it cover degration? If so what's the % if you know.
5. Did you tint the car? I mean would it be hot driving under hot sun? I plan to buy the cover and use only when parking under hot sun.
6. Your BYD supports Android Auto or Apple carplay now?
7. Does your car come with different charger head?
8. BYD Atto 3 comes with built in dashcam right? Front and back?
9. I find the yearly servicing a bit redundant considering Tesla does not require it. Seems like the local dealers' way to make more money. If we skip the servicing, will it void the warranty?
10. Lastly can your BYD car use Tesla charging station when it is built in the future?

FYI I am planning to change my car to EV sometime next year, waiting for BYD Seal, Tesla 3 and Volvo EX30.

Again sorry for so many questions, I am from JB and no legit showroom here yet for me to ask the sales people.
