I think that the issues experienced by Shark reviewers in regards to climbing hills are firstly badly programmed traction control systems, that will be updated OTA, and the fact that almost every reviewer was using the bog standard highway tyres that where on the cars given them for testing. Just watch the videos change when people start personalising their Sharks with after market accessories, such as suspension and tyres, just like everyone out there does to their ICE utes. Not to mention the increases in performance that are very likely to come with the first couple of OTA updates. Seriously, have you ever seen a manufacturer that has so rapidly improved their engineering, manufacturing and automotive innovation as much as BYD has in the few short years they have been selling cars? Do you think Ford is going to make the same rapid advances? I think not. Legacy cars with legacy customers.
Its almost perfect for 70% off truck costumers plus its a modern hightech REPH thts actually handels well and is comfortable for day to day driving. An abselute banger
It's a bit like the merc ute via Nissan navara. They are basically the same car, but one is alot more expensive. But people still buy them for some reason.
5.26, the thing is, the shark was engineered in Australia! It's development team were Aussies as BYD recognised that if the shark has any chance here, they needed local engineers. Australia was always the golden ticket for this ute, and put well ahead of other South American and Asian countries.
Unfortunately the Shark in its prototype version is a glorified AWD vehicle. Which means that it doesn't have reduction gears and has trouble putting that awesome torque at the wheels at slow speeds. As a YT channel from Australia showed. Maybe some clever electronics will address the issue. The problem is that the single speed "gearbox" of the Shark has to spread that awesome torque from 0 km/h to 170 km/h and the result is very little torque at slow speeds.
Really, I respect that, but go and ask your brother, to check his home's all the appliances, like water cattle, home entertainment, furniture, and mobile phones...est that's not made in China or parts? Tell your brother not to watch too much of the US media news; they're literally killing his mind and identity.
I’m really impressed by the Shark concept. However, I have a question: If I’m towing a 2.2-ton caravan over a long distance and encounter a headwind or have to drive uphill for about 10 km, what will happen? Will the battery deplete quickly, and how will that affect towing performance? Also, will the petrol engine provide enough power to meet the towing demands in such conditions?
The Ford Ranger uses gears to multiply engine power, while the Shark relies on a direct drive from its electric motors, effectively giving it only one gear. As a result, the Shark struggles to climb a 30-degree slope due to the lack of gearing in its final drive line. I tow a 2.2-ton caravan and regularly shift my Prado into low gear to climb hills. If the Shark has trouble pulling itself up a 30-degree slope, how will it perform when towing up the same hill? I'm not a critic of the Shark and I want to buy one, but this aspect remains a big unknown, and I notice that it hasn't been tested in this way.
One person in a thousand might tackle a 30 degree hill somewhere, sometime. I cannot imagine anyone stupid enough to choose the Shark specifically for offroad towing.. Most people buy a car for a specific reason. However, the Shark seems to meet quite a few needs, even as a very comfortable school run for 4 kids.
The question is how often do you tow your caravan on a 30-degree slope of loose sand, and what sort of tires? The tester said that using full-terrain tires would be a different outcome.
@@tigerroar649 The poster also does not understand that this is just a software fix as the electric motor has more power at low speed than his Ranger. The solution is getting the traction of each wheel to work the same as a conventional 4'4.
this has been proven not to be 100% legit as there is a vid showing the exact same location someone doing it in ease with a shark. people have been shitting on car expert for their tests but preproduction is preproduction they should not be testing it that in-depth. like I think you could get a feel for the road and styling and such but not harder tasks.
Can't wait for my Great White Shark to arrive 😊
Im a fan as you can see!
Ford soon will build Ford Ranger Raptor Orca. Orca will eat that fucking great shark😂😂😂

The dinosaur manufacturers are going extinct...might take a decade, but E day is coming.
E cars will go under. Lithium is not a sustainable option.

this situation will change soon
Where are these 30° hills?...but it will smoke most cars on every single traffic light.

This is why you see subtle details, like black roof lining, larger screens, compared to every other market
60 k vs 90 plus 😅😅😅 bye bye Ford with your overpriced poverty packs

my brother in law ford fan
he hates chinese anything i think its funny
thanks mate you did great

Seems better to compare to Toyota than an American truck. Americans truck do made for heavy duty work/tow.

You can set the battery level to a percentage that will allow the Shark to pull against headwinds for hours on end. It's that simple.
you can manually scale the battery level to suit your driving....
The Shark update due before end of 25 has a 3.2t towing.
A Chinese hybrid ute, good luck with that.
It looks more like a box jellyfish than a shark.

You saw another youtube video showing this? Remember, the car they tested was the pre production car, not the final car.

Byd shark failed to climb a 30degree hill. That being said. It was just a preproduction version😅

some people made it a really big issue from a prototype
@@fatdoi003 These same people get their highs off a "gotcha" uni-test moment.🤔
BYD uses road tires to climb a 30-degree hill, wait and see when it uses full-terrain tires.

Watch out for small dirt hills!
