Bring them all to Japan. We’re starved for EVs.
I thought they already did?
@@newguy954 We have the Dolphin and the Atto 3. Seal has been pushed back twice already. I live in the middle of nowhere. I’ve been getting by with a LEAF, but having 500km of range would be a dream come true for me. I want anything and everything BYD has to offer. I know it doesn’t make sense for them to have too many models here, but I can dream.
They did.
BYD is already selling in Japan.
There are already a lot of BYD on the streets of Kanagawa, Tokyo
BYD sure do have a car for everyone with multiple variants of the seals.
Reminds me of old days of Holden Commodore
Brilliant if you want to be an industry leader
wrgg
Yes Sam you should know every model 😂
The fate of internal combustion vehicles is sealed.
Not really. We do not know the long-term effect of a major swap to electric vehicles. At the moment charging infrastructure can barely keep up with the demand for them. In fact most places with chargers in busy cities have queues that force you to potentially wait hours to fill the EV up to 80% charge. People opt to charge at home with their AC wall mounted chargers for most of their EV experience. This would increase the average consumption of electricity by a fairly large margin if the majority of road users do this. So the question would be if local powergrids can handle the extra strain. Electricity prices in some places are not exactly cheap. Also, the average driver would not have the mentality to maintain a disciplined approach to charging, as opposed to the one-and-done ICE method of filling up the tank in less than 10 minutes. All things equal the future seems to be going towards a more hybrid-orientated culture with bio fuels powering the combustion engines which will in turn charge up battery units for power distribution to the wheels. (Think like how F1 cars work)
Nice pun
@@RaijinKaze Uhm, that’s a big negative! Not going to happen the way you think. China is going all in on pure EVs right now - easily beyond 50% sales this year. Plus, power grid anxiety is overblown since most will be charging at home using OFF-Peak charging between the local hours of 8pm to 6am, so the grid will Not be stressed. In addition, new solar and battery peaker plants are coming online daily. The only reason people are buying hybrids is due to a lack of charging infrastructure away from home causing “range anxiety” (by more than about 200 miles). This makes them feel good (about helping the environment) without actually doing much to save money and help reduce pollutants.
Once pure EVs cross the price parity threshold to ice vehicles and become substantially cheaper to initially buy, most households (those that actually own their homes) will buy a second car to be pure EV; only for local driving, if nothing else. They will then realize (once EV charging infrastructure catches up) that the range anxiety they initially felt was way overblown. This doesn’t even factor into the equation continual massive advances in battery tech that reduces charging times and advances in efficiency.
Then they will also reap the incredible benefits of much lower cost of ownership over time. It is enevitable - ice cars will be the dinosaurs of the 2030’s - big, fat heavy, inefficient, unaerodynamic SUVs polluting the atmosphere - Dinosaurs! I for one will never buy another ice vehicle again.
Finally and Admittedly, all of this will happen in advanced nations first, but because of China and Europe’s EV adoption alone, the rest of the world is going to have to follow their lead, or they won’t be able to reap the cost savings and be left behind in environmental and health benefits.
nice one ! @davidlee9493
Said an EV expert never.
Tesla could learn a lot from BYD and how they intend to fulfill a wide variety of customer segments that offer solutions to a broader spectrum. Tesla relying on 3/Y so heavily will reach a plateau as the market expects more. Jim Farley of Ford who is a fan of Elton Musk also comments, Tesla does not understand the larger automotive business. Elon once had ambitions of 20 million Teslas sold annually by 2030. He found the going too hard so he pivots to other future technologies that will have less competition. Likely smart, but its car sales that fund those not yet commercialized opportunities. Hope he's right.
Different company suits different strategy. For Tesla/Apple they'd better go for that minimal product line + fan boy cultivating route, because the way they positioned themselves to stand out against competitors isn't their tech (pretty average in China) but their "branding". So Elon tweeting more flaring comments on Tweeter and acting more trendy and celebrity-ish will help their sale way more easily than spending time and money developing new car models, especially when Tesla is trying to cut cost and laying off ppl all over the place.
@@FldllseApple has more revenue streams aside from phones. Tesla gets 85% of revenue from car sales and the majority of that from 3/Y. The 3/Y revenue/profit is in decline. Once Tesla delves into red ink (they are getting closer) the money machine funding FSD, AI, Optimum, Dojo. Etc etc will dry up and they will start to eat up cash reserves. This is why Wall St is losing confidence with Tesla. Elon pivoting away from being a car company (by his own public admission). Tesla needs a broader affordable car portfolio to keep the money rolling-in to fund development. 100K cybertrucks sold at a loss is not it. Nor is a 250k Roadster that will sell in small numbers. Just look at BYDs portfolio and rising position. The CEO of BYD is impressive. Elton? Bored with cars so he chases his grand visions (cool) but not at the expense of ignoring the current fundamental business and money source.
@@Fldllsethey did spend time and money developing the new to cars tech for the CT.
Even Jim Farley Ford CEO said that they had recieved their Tesla pdf on how to do 48v.
What did you think of them sending their learnings to all the other car makers?
@@andrewsaint6581 48V lol. BYD's hybrid system called DM3.0 that launched 4 years ago already carries high voltage BSG motor with a voltage range between 360v and 518v, with at least 60Nm. And I'm not even bring up how the complexity of BYD's high voltage BSG motors under a hybrid system over your 48v single mode electric motor, stuff like active RPM control, HEV series & parallel modes, pure electric mode etc. All these never gets reported by any of your sweet and "professional" western media.
Besides, None of your statement contradicts with my statement, because Tesla's "tech" is simply not on par in the Chinese market. Rest of the world maybe.
Seal-bingo! 🤣
The BYD mini is very beautiful and I love it
I like the seal-u it is the most practical.
But the specs are weirdly bad. Why isn’t it more similar to the Seal?
Im not such a fan of SUV s
@@jonathanfields4ever to give a kind of SUV set up I assume.
Seal U is renamed as Sealion 6 in Australia and south east Asia now
Check how many variations of Holden Commodore made up the yearly range.
18 or so!
What BYD is missing a dealership network in Europe. They cannot rely on existing car dealers to promote and service the BYD EVs.
If BYD is not willing to open its own dealships then it will met with limited success.
European dealership is not the real problem. Problems are deeper than that
I like that Ocean sports sedan at 2:25.
I wasn't aware there were so many different "versions" of the Seal.
Seems like a basic marketing mistake to me. But who knows.
BYD is just like the Samsung of the auto industry.
It just reflects the abiity of the factory to churn out variants more closely tailored to particular individuals. Less mass market, (slightly) more bespoke. They're the first company to be able to do this on account of their all in house processes and their scale.
wrgg
I wish a few of these would make it to the US just to force other automakers to drop their EV prices in response
They need to change the price... In Germany the BYD Seal start at 44 990 € im the design version. This is a minimum of 10k to much for a car with this charging speed and with that few service stations here. I need to drive nearly 300km to the next BYD Store and once a year you need to service the car there for guarantee
Needs time to negotiate with eu, and eu itself is quite "worried" to put it the slightest, they are putting sanctions even on the exports, let alone letting byd building charging and service stations...
Btw, the amount you pay is artificially hacked price by eu...
Its up to them right..... Keeps you busy too.... Choice is good
Looks very similar to the MG4 also rear wheel drive! Makes you wonder if they are trying to grab some of that market as it’s been a very popular car worldwide!
Fifth version of the Seal...
The original Seal (BEV sedan) didn't sell well in China despite BYD's expectation and efforts. Therefore BYD is renaming everything to Seals.
For example, Seal U is Song Plus in Chinese. Song (a dynasty in China) Plus (compact SUV, BEV and PHEV) was transfered to the then newly-formed Oceanic linage in 2021 as the first vehicle (Dolphin came months later).
“Ocean-M” is the name of the concept model they had just shown at Beijing auto show, what was just revealed is the name of the production version.
BYD is said to be rearranging their naming convention in their Ocean series to group all the SUVs under "Sea Lion" name and all the sedans under "Seal" name, while dropping the ship names of frigates, destroyer etc
Is this car the same as the Ocean-M?
According the the Ocean M releases, it will be on the 4.0 EV platform with the second generation battery.
They would sell in prodigious numbers if the price in the UK was the same as the price in China - albeit with the additional costs associated with tariffs and transportation.
Seal U will be renamed to sealion 06 and seal to seal 07, so sealion is suv and seal is sedan.
BYD will more successful if they produce affordable electric off-road SUVs that look like Range Rover and Land Cruiser
The Formula Leopard 5 is the one
BYD Leopard 5
@@Georgeklee is it fully electric SUV ?
I don't have a clue lol cheers mate
BYD Yuan Up is inexpensive great SU&/cross-over - the best hit
It's very nice BYD is expanding thier wings abroad, but in my country (Trinidad) they are selling those ev's too expensive!!!!!. I thought ice vehicles and ev's are around the same price? I am confused!!!
Coupe seal ?
...while Nio's Onvo (Ledao in China) reveals the L60.
For being 10+ years behind Tesla in manufacturing BYD sure is bringing a lot of new car to the market...
Seal U does not have AWD which is a must for real SUV, so this case one "has to" pick this Coup SUV with AWD. It support 180kW fast charging so it comes with the new version 2 Blade probably
Hopefully it comes with 11kW OBC at least.
Is there something out there already that legitimately challenges the Onvo/Ledao in China? What would its main competition be? I hear people say model Y but that is much more expensive.
Looks like an MG3......wow.
All we need is flying or floating seal now.
Instead of Ford opting to sit on the EV sidelines and loose relevance why don’t they buy complete, high quality EV platforms ( like the CIIC) from CATL and start from there?
The disingenuous national security of the US Department of Commerce
I Iike it. Waiting for new battery generation.
2nd...happy with that.
byd👍👍👍👍
Even Toyota don’t have that many variant. Byd designer has gone overdrive. Perhaps striving to be supplier for legacy auto
I can’t wait until AI is deciding design choices. Everything will look good.
The Hatchback sedan is missing from the market, hopefully that's the gap they're trying to fill.
Should try the new language models Grok or ChatGPT or Llama
Bring them to the U.S. the UAW can’t build a good car 😂
Didn't they renamed the Seal U to a Sealion?
There are so many sea creatures to use, why do they keep naming the different model Seal
I can't believe I actually thought BYD & Tesla are going to co-produce a new car model. I mean the end product might be really cool but that is not the ideal world we live in today in messed up geopolitics. 😮
...messed up geopolitics? That was the case when the USA and Western Europe had a say and murdered and pillaged around the world. Now the situation is way more stable and the western fascists as well as their wrappers (like the murderous Ukraine which thought it could get away with its crimes during the 1940ies).
Mercedes C class platform has sedan, wagon, coupe, cabrio......
BYD strategy - 1. build cheap reliable cars in China. 2. Then build completely different, expensive versions for Europe. 3. Send them to Europe but make sure you do absolutely no advertising or make any effort to let people know you have something for sale, and 4. price them above the models by manufacturers you're actually heard of. Finally, 5. Wait for the money to roll in.
Perhaps BYD’s reasoning for having so many different vehicles named “Seal” is that the dumb media outlets will lump them all together when reporting sales of the “Seal.” If their goal is to beat Tesla’s Model Y (currently the best selling car in the world), they probably figure they can achieve that sooner if so many of their cars share the same name. Also helps with branding and name recognition-even if potential customers find themselves totally confused when actually trying to shop for one! 😂
I was thinking along that line too! With so many models under Seal, they can lump all the sales under Seal and have bragging rights! But they are good, value-for-money quality EVs regardless, and deserve good sales, no matter what their marketing department is thinking of!😂
Afternoon mate
BYD = burn your dealership. 10 dealerships burnt down in the last 3 years.
BYD is hiring Fiverr influencers toake 10000 models every month 😂
Is it more practical than the Seal; yes.
Will i wait for it to get here in Oz; no -picking up a Dynamic Seal🦭 Thursday fate permitting. Will it matter if it still can't charger at V3/V4 SC? Nope. Still going to get it.
Is the dynamic as fast as the premium? No and not quite as nice inside but it still really nice.
Had a test drive in the Dynamic today - still got a WOW😁😊😄😃
🤗
The EV industry is exploded in China, new models roll out every week, WTH, no one can catch up, and that is the beauty of competition which the west used to be good at but none now.
Lol
Too many overlapping EV models on BYD’s menu as I see it. If they focused more on core offerings they could increase scale , focus and profits IMO.
...your western viewpoint. Asians on the other hand love such diversity.
BYD posted 37.5% NEV market share in China last month. Second place was Geely at 7.6 and Tesla dropped to 5th.
For the overall car market, they were also first with 16.6%, while second place was FAW-VW with 7.8%. And they are production-constrained on most models, despite building new factories and increasing hiring.
Sales are not an issue for BYD. And with a 28.1% gross margin last quarter, they are reducing costs at a faster rate than prices.
Being able to offer customers choice and constantly improving product is an advantage. Although I guess some people like Trabant-style, limited choice in their protected markets.
Because they know that the Seal is the closest copy of the Tesla, but they don't know exactly how to copy it... so they like to throw a lot of spaghetti on the wall
What ignorance! Have you seen BYD's Yangwang U8 and U9? They are way different and beyond any Tesla models! But of course, they are also in a different price range, hence, the Seal, being simpler and cheaper, to compete in the Tesla Model 3 category. That's just simple marketing!
This is the problem with Chinese manufacturers. Rather than making a few high quality products, they rush products out of the door that are inadequately tested. This results in the need to constantly put out modified product models. We know from experience, that the quality is often questionable. It's often more flash for your buck, rather than bang for your buck.
Let me assure you - you and all your viewers don't even know half of all BYD models.
while tesla suffer to get a model update done, let's not talk about a new model. the chinese are just too competitive, their society rewards hard work and obviously value it, unlike looters at tesla Berlin
Too many models not sure sustainable!
Still carry elements of tesla , no innovation, disgusting
Sour grapes mixed with ignorance. Truth hurts!

BYD is so bad at branding. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don’t you know the Chinese characters? The same pronounication usually has many written forms.😂
Please don’t call yourself a Viking…Electric Bogan would be more apt…cheers.
They got too many models lol
Absolutely no shame in your videos!! You’ve almost gone word-for-word with the CarNewsChina article that was released 24hrs ago. You haven’t even tried to make it subtle plagiarism, just blatant stealing of content and acting like it’s your own 🤣🤣🤣
@ev.whyking oh yeah, I know that’s all he does but this was one of his worst. Literally copied full sentences from the original article, used it’s images and not a care in the world 😞
@ev.whyking
But can you explain why he has so many followers of his channel. While many expert reviewers of Chinese evs out there cant come even close. Including my favorite Wheelsboy who actually test drive them on location. I have not seen him actually getting into an ev and do a real time review. He's an ev news reader. That's it
@@kamsunleong6648it feels like half of them are bots with some of the comments you see below his videos. The guy also floods YT with 10 videos a day in rehashed news so I’m sure some like getting their news that way and don’t know or care how he gets his news and more videos increases his algorithm.
No Chinese communist cars for me. China supports Hamas, Iran and Russia. No supporting country so opposed to western world.😢
Buy Your Doom…good luck with reliability, quality, insurance, resale, not being spied on, range, dealer support, attracting admirers, not having it spontaneously combust on you etc.😄😁😆😂🤣🤪🤮
Tesla uses Byd blade battery because it's the safest one around. So no worries about spontaneous combustion. As quality and reliability, most of their models have 5 star safety rating from Euro NCAP. So again no worries there.Spy on? Nothing really worth their time to do that either. As for admirers there are plenty here in Asean. They are top dog in ev sales by a wide margin. Their assembly plant here in Thailand should be ready in a couple of months time, to service the RHD market. That leaves dealers network and insurance which are local issues. Leave them to the local distributor to deal with.
So there you go. They have only just started.
@@kamsunleong6648 Thank you for the effort in your propaganda…🤣
@@kamsunleong6648 FYI - no issues with BYD cars but Tesla only uses BYD blade batteries in the model Y base model made in Giga Berlin. Tesla uses CATL's LFP batteries for all other LFP models made anywhere else and CATL,Panansonic and LG batteries in their non base model cars.
LOL - we have had BEVs in Australia since 2013, over 200,000 on the road as of 2023, how many BEVs have spontaneously combusted in those 11 years? answer ....zero.
In fact there have only been 6 EV battery related fires in 11 years, 4 of those in 2022-2023, 1 arson, 1 a detached battery left in the rain and, 2 impact damage - that's 10 fires per million cars per year, (only if you include the arson and the detached battery otherwise it's only 5).
In 2022-2023 there were 44,091 ICE car fires for 21.7million cars - that's 1,035 per million cars per year.
