When you say better than before, do you mean completely fixed? Because the issued outlined in the video sound like deal breakers to me.

According to the engineers we've spoken with from Chinese brands, the local Chinese market prefers the more aggressive ADAS. They're still wrapping their heads around how to tune it for overseas markets where traffic flow is different.

@@serpserpserpIt’s fixed. We have a Seal Premium and while the speed chime was loud and incessant, the aggressive “emergency lane keep” was borderline dangerous as it tugs the wheel while you’re driving amongst cars in other lanes. Since the update, it’s completely fixed. The lane keep has never falsely triggered and is very docile even compared to our Mazda 3 which had a very standard lane keep system. The speed limit chime has also been fixed, it takes longer to activate, has an extra 1km/h leeway whereas before it would trigger when the car crept up in speed with the cruise control set. Now it doesn’t do that and even when you are above the speed limit, it is a very quiet chime that you can barely hear over music. All this has fixed the one major problem on what is otherwise been a well equipped luxe feeling electric sedan that isn’t exorbitant.

Got to drive one recently. Far better than it was. I still turn the systems off though, no matter what car I'm in. I just find them off-putting in general. It is difficult to find a good EV without those systems though.

​@@carsalesNo that's not ture, BYD's ADAS is equally criticised by Chinese customers and reviewers.

Great comment, every penny of your money must be spent wisely, not so called political correctness

As a Model 3 owner with indicator and drive stalks, I agree, their removal for their updated model isn't innovation, it's cost cutting and I think could put buyers off because of that. But otherwise it's not that difficult of a car to get used to. And having to glance just to my left to see my speed is not as major a safety risk as you're making it out to be. Heck, unless you have a HUD, you're going to be looking down and taking your eyes off the road to glance your speed.

I never thought id agree with someone over a pusbucjet chinese car, but your right. The chinese win with thier evs vs tesla. Would i buy one. Nope not either, as they are entirely greenwashed propaganda.

Don't agree with BYD look way better than Tesla

Hell no. I drivin both. Byd seal is for the broke people who think they are something. It’s a verry weak car and only looks good in videos. In real life it’s a mess

That's called political correctness. Nothing from China could ever be better than an American brand.

Be careful that the after market stuff doesn't void your warranty. Telsa don't like after market products.

Sounds like bs. Stalkless is recent

@@web2yt488 stalkless is the future ending........no future......and Elon Musk just keeps flanneling in THE BUBBLE of self-satisfactiom.

The 0-100 time is deceptive - the Tesla is software speed limited up to around 50km/h - after this is quicker than the Seal and quicker over a 1/4 mile. BYD warranty is definitely much worse than Tesla's - there is an extensive list of exclusions from the headline warrany - many items are covered for much less time than the main warranty. There are no "lane assist wrestles" with a model 3 and it suffers far less phantom braking events than the Seal - it's also infinitely less "intrusive" than the seal. A gauge cluster is unneccesary - stalks are a personal choice - the Tesla is clearly a better put together vehicle overall.

Not only that, he said Tesla riding is excellent and byd seal riding is good When I can clearly hear a lot less noise and vibration on the seal and at the same time a faster car, with more comfortable seats and suspension? Get the Tesla if y want to be cooked inside your car during the summer. oh wait, be careful while parallel parking with that digital gear switch

No, mine don't. That's how you know it's a genuine Tesla!

There is none. Only Tesla has their own supercharging network.

Obviously EV's are unsuitable for country driving in Australia. When I go for a ride on my bike just 2 hours out of Perth I sometimes can't even find the premium petrol which is recommended for it. Good luck finding EV chargers.

Quick google LOL - how about looking at offical Tesla website specifications rather than the clear early error made by autoexpress UK that has been cut an pasted all over the place - there is 682L of cargo space in a model 3 between split between the boot and the frunk, it's massive compared to the Seal.

@@TB-up4xi Riiiight... so before the seats are down, a BMW 5 series estate has 570 litres, an Audi Q8 e-tron has 569 litres and a VW ID7 has 532. What you're suggesting is that the significantly smaller Tesla Model 3 has more boot space that all of these. Given the size of the car plus the size of the boot access, I think we can safely say something smells fishy here. Now here's the interesting part: Tesla used to quote 425 litres themselves, and this was then quoted by reviews (not something they just came up with). Now, however, they seem to be quoting 594... curious, given the external dimensions of the vehicle haven't changed for the Highland update, and interior space seems largely identical by all accounts. I wonder how they managed to find another 169 litres? Heaven forbid Tesla be bending the rules a little here and coming up with a way of measuring figures in a way different to most other manufacturers. They wouldn't do that, of course. Never have before, have they? (Nobody mention how they quote 0-62mph with a rolling start, disregarding the ZERO part in the name) Setting aside all sarcasm, I've owned many cars with varying sizes of boot - some smaller, some bigger. I think we can say just from looking at the two cars here that the Tesla is bigger but that it's not almost 150% the size of the BYD's. Just ignore the figures and use a little sense.

​@@Henderson10102 They may be measuring differently to other manufacturers - who knows, but my pre-highland model 3 has almost identical storage space to the Highland version and this is considerably more storage space overall than my wife's Volvo XC60 with the seats up, - we have physically uunpacked the Volvo when we planned a trip to Melbourne from Sydney and moved the kit into the model 3 because it didn't all fit in Volvo And I would wager yes, when you add all the spaces together - considering the lack of sub boot and frunk space in the BYD combined with the shallower, narrower and shorter main trunk, the Model 3 would have 50% more space overall. Who knows what the 495L was based on - maybe without the sub trunk or frunk and some older models had large sub-woofers intruding into the trunk space that the base model doesn't have

@@TB-up4xi From what I can tell, the 425 litres excludes the front boot. One review I've found of the updated model, they mention space underneath taking it up to 594 litres. Honestly, I question this more than a little for two reasons. First off, I don't think this "usable space" is really all that usable unless you have a lot of smaller items and rucksacks that ideally fill the volume. You won't be using it for large suitcases or tent bags when going on holiday, furniture when moving house, or other large items that need day to day use (like folded up prams) - that's what the main boot space is used for, and that boot is 425 litres. Second - that's 169 extra litres, which is a heck of a lot of space given what we can see of it and given the not inconsiderable front boot is 88 litres, so you're talking almost double the same space available under the boot floor... something Tesla never mentioned before? Even with slight tweaks and and a smaller subwoofer, that seems too high a figure. But even setting that aside: when you get down to a review like this, showing two clearly similar boots side by side where one seems slightly bigger but then using Tesla's "quoted figured" without questioning or addressing the blatant disparity is wrong. As was your comment about it being something Auto Express made up, given it was a Tesla quoted figure. The Tesla is more practical - simple point of fact. But in a comparison test like this, the figures shown should give viewers accurate context. "How much more practical" is not illustrated here, and the void between the two cars is not that great... something I have been specifically looking into as a potential buyer.

Tesla measurements includes the space under the boot lid. The Seal doesn't. That been said Tesla back boot is still slightly bigger than the seal not by much. frunk however is much bigger.

99.99% of people watching this video have no interest in a chemistry lesson, they care how far will it go and how fast will it charge? No one ever bothered mentioning the metallurgy of an ICE in reviews. Anyway, the really funny thing is both cars have LFP batteries, so not sure of your point?

Ahhh range anxiety. You sound like you have never owned an EV.

Tesla is same same

How often are you going to need V2L though? And you can't use anything that requires an earth plug either on V2L.

A $500 inverter generator from Tractor Supply would do a better job than V2L and not drain you vehicle battery during an extended power outage.

Yep. BYD has my deposit. 4 months later I would really like to pay the rest. BYD need to improve their logistics. Hate going to petrol stations.

There is roof cover for the Seal which comes with the car. he also failed to mention the silver coated glass roof of the Seal which is at least 10C cooler than the Model 3. look up ludicrous feed on youtube. he compared both cars in much finer detail. also split screen comparison driving on the same stretch of road. you can hear the difference on the road noise back to back.

You can buy roof shades for the Model 3 for $60 from memory, just isn't a big deal. The Seal comes with them. Also the Tesla allows you to vent your windows via the App, whilst both allow you to start the air conditioner prior to you getting back to the car. So in fact they are both superior to normal cars.
