They need another 10 years to improve their design to be more universally accepted.

all so happy at the price..... but 7kwh AC charging and 150kwh DC charging only, its nearly unacceptable for EV of this age. And Seal is on 800V architecture, it doesnt make sense

Not sure if the 800V architecture is pure BS.... just doesn't make sense at all.

I really hope Tesla and BYD compete the shit out of legacy manufacturers. You look at ICE like BMW X3 X4 don't even have ACC and 360 camera but their price really crazy.

This is because of Malaysia stupid tax structure. They have to remove some features to reduce the car price.

You can see this in the EV version, which is tax free, those cars are fully loaded with every features they have.

I find the Performance Variant more worth the money. But the heavier engine makes the tyre replacement faster plus one more point of engine failure since it has two.
Actually EV cars don't really need much servicing, just see Tesla. But being Sime Darby if you don't send for service, they might not honour the warranty. Need confirmation on this.

This BYD Seal truly surprises me with the price. Considered "cheap" for the specs given. I really kick myself for changing my tyres before CNY. Now I have to wait 1 to 2 years before changing car and the value of ICE cars by then would deprecirate a lot more if EV can take off in Malaysia.

Why I prefer the Performance variant, the batter is LFP... meaning in theory can last longer. And the warranty period is longer and more comprehensive than Tesla. Just that the AACP performance don't know yet. Plus infomation on future automated driving details etc that lose out to Tesla. Tesla's Performance Variant is not LFP. BYD LFP can charge to 100% with no long term degration issues?

All in all I am really surprised Sime Darby price Seal so "cheap" with such long warranty period. Good, hope more competition means price will drop more!

Current BYD users are being ripped off by Sime Darby with nonsensical service fees.

fuh rm8k++ service package just for this? mcm tak worth? but its for 8yrs. so hmmm  hmm.gif

so for thee regenerative breaking, correct me if I'm wrong, it will recharge the battery say when we stuck in traffic right? example balik raya, jem on highway, the battery will recharge a bit2 kan?

Lol regen braking means it will recharge while braking, and stopped charging when your car is stopped.

The only advantage Seal have over M3 is the V2L.
