I booked the car 2 weeks ago, paid 5k. Till now not yet decided to go for long range or performance. Also not decided black or white. When paying deposit, I put as long range white but can change anytime.

Now looking to sell off my 2022 Civic E!

wow nice, u are the brave one who booked prior official price announced. congrats. when will you get the car? i heard they have ready stock for premium, but for performance need to wait 2 months. i plan to get the premium as well, just wanna test drive first before pull the trigger. color still thinking, as all colors are so handsome!

I can get the car as early as end of this month as soon as I make up my mind. Funny you should mention 2 month wait for performance. Last night I was at the pre-launch function and almost every BYD salesperson mentioned the performance may be jerky for daily drive and too throttle-happy and may not be comfortable in traffic jams. They all recommended the premium for overall best satisfaction. I thought nothing of it but my brother felt they were bashing the Performance and promoting the Premium - he even guessed that they may have short ordered the Premium and cannot meet demand so they are trying to convert customers to Premium. I was also told privately that they brought in a bunch of Dynamics which they last minute decided not to launch locally because it may kill off Atto3. The price would be 150k plus. In the next few months they will be offering this variant quietly to get rid of ordered stocks of Dynamic.

OK went to test drive both the Performance and Premium. The Performance was fun but I think soon the novelty of 3.8s will wear off so I went for the Premium in white. Will collect the car day after tomorrow, Saturday afternoon.

Mind to share if got additional free gift or rebate other than the early bird package? Heard some branch offer rebate on installation cost for wall charger

I only got the early bird package, nothing else. Salesperson lose out a bit because I take my own insurance and no loan.

how is it so far? happy with the purchase? did u put ppf on it? is it really worth to put ppf? and for the sunroof, is it hot? need to put extra tinted there?
*
I just drove from the showroom to IrisPro and then went home. Had to go to PD....the Seal would have been perfect but had to carry bulky stuff so had to take my 4x4! Just came back today. Probably tomorrow onwards I will get to drive and report back here.

I only installed IrisPro's cheapest tint below rm600 and put on a mirror look tint for the sunroof for additional 200. Not hot at all even without the tint but I did it anyway. I don't believe in ppf and going to extra lengths to take care of the car as I believe the car is supposed to be at your service. Not the other way around.

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!
