$60k for a tiny sub par EV is absolutely ridiculous, particularly when it is based on a car that not that long ago you could get for under 20k

lol at $58,000 price why wouldn't I just go buy a BYD seal?

That fake engine noise is very annoying I'd be turning it off completely, some Rev-Heads would love it I suppose.

"Fake" engine sound is pretty cool. It would be good if Tesla had that option. I do like Ioniq 5N implementation better. More realistic.
@LudicrousFeed4 ай бұрын
The Ioniq 5N version definitely sounds better

I'd prefer the (fake) engine noise to the creepy ice-cream-van-serial-killer option on some other vehicles 😕. As long as there are several options, whatever helps people make the jump I think is a good thing (even if I personally might not use it).

The body style of this vehicle is 17 years old and really only a two-seater, built on an ice vehicle platform. That noise of a simulated engine is annoying, Ev's are mean to be practically silent. Like all European Ev's, they will be overpriced for the Australian market, a lot of better choices for the price, especially when the BYD Dolphin mini (Seagull) goes on sale here in 2025, which will be close to half the price of this vehicle tested here.

0-100 in 7 in an EV with an abarth badge is massively underwhelming.

Something would have to be pretty compelling for me to ask for deposit back on Dynamic Seal. This isn't it. Even if in the showroom today. Oh well.
@LudicrousFeed4 ай бұрын
The Seal represents amazing value
@strawwmann31314 ай бұрын
Slightly off-topic, sorry, I know, but I have seen lots of reports online that BYDs are not compatible with Tesla gen 3 & 4 superchargers. Have you tried your BYD Seal with these newer superchargers and what have you found? (I have a Seal on order and a new closest supercharger has just opened a convenient ~2 hrs south of me, but I'm keen to know whether or not it will be of any use to me.)
@LudicrousFeed4 ай бұрын
I haven’t tried but there are enough reports on social media and plug share to know that the Seal and Atto 3 are still not compatible with V3/4 Tesla Superchargers (April 2024)

that external noise is stupid. No wonder non Tesla/BYD EVs are not selling with this kind of poor quality rubbish.

I think a lot of money was spent on the development of the noise …

Overpriced compared to Chinese evs. It is very poor. Typical offering from European manufacturers.

Idiotically priced for what it is. Old Tech. No thanks.
