Honestly, I’m still debating between the Seal and the M3. I’ve test driven the Seal and will test drive the M3 next week.

What are other people’s thoughts between the 2?

If budget permits, I'll recommend M3 just for the supercharger network.

Not everyone's into outside charging. I personally will never ever use public chargers unless I am going on a 600 plus km trip. Looks like my rm800 Gentari vouchers will be collecting dust.

I charge at home. Overnight I have 10 to 12 hours so just trickle charge. I am quite happy with my Seal and for me there is no turning back to ICE. Now looking forward to a BEV 4x4 truck!

Did anyone here compared the Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) in Performance vs Premium version??
Is there any major difference in terms of comfort & handling?

Someone shared that if road tax is calculated based on power. The seal road tax will be 7k per year.

based on current ev roadtax... which will be revised lower, and

based on performance model... which if you want 0-100 < 4s, you should rightly pay for it biggrin.gif

otherwise the premium model around 2-3k only...

Australia road tax is based on the car price eh

Don't worry bro, prices will get lower and lower and lower. Batteries have a finite life span, so EV are like perishable goods. If got 9 years old EV stocks, maybe they will even give it away for free to prevent any unfortunate incident at their stock yard later. Now China got so many EV stocks, no place parking EV, millions are sent overseas to park at other countries depot.

What is happening in China, has already began to happen in other countries and it's a matter of time, the same will happen here too.

Wait let me find the EV fire data from a certain country.

The last time I created a thread asking which car park in KL had EV Charging Stations, as I wanted to avoid these car parks. I remember calling my insurance provider and discussing about the Luton car park fires, although I didn't get the information that I wanted but what is certain now, in other countries that have adopted EV as the future BS, insurance premiums are going through the roof because of EVs. Even my insurer don't not provide cover for all EV, only Tesla at the moment. But that will change, if the risks gets to high.

Not to mention, lawsuits are increasing in tandem too. 😊

I don't know mate, if 4'x4' fire blankets are provided EV Charging Stations to be use in case of an EV fire, do you think we are heading in the right direction ? WTF even came up with that dimension ?
