    Hello! Wanted to add some points that we didn’t squeeze into the discussion:
    - it doesn’t have a single pedal drive mode!
    - it has two levels of regen but we haven’t tried that out yet
    - not having wireless CarPlay is annoying. But the location for the USB ports is even more annoying. It’s Ina tray under the wireless chargers. Had to step out, crouch down to plug in the cable. But, as an owner you’ll do it just once. (Buy a cable for the car)
    Link to image - drive.google.com/file/d/1-9LB3zds_BRJrcgWNJGlZLlUMSPvGcHg/view?usp=drivesdk
    - The infotainment screen in portrait mode pops into your field of vision. So, best used in horizontal/landscape mode while driving.
    - Yes, it has ADAS tech. No, I did not test it. We had only 3-4 hours with the car.
    - Sound system is impressive! 12 speakers or thereabouts!
    - The quietness of the Premium variant was impressive. Not easy to pull off.
    Have a great weekend!

    I remember Shumi once mentioned that he was afraid that one day MotorInc would become so big that they would no longer be able to reply to every comment and have conversations with viewers in the comment section. By putting your content behind a paywall, you have kinda made sure that will never happen.
    I love this channel so much but I can't help but feel alienated. I am glad that MotorInc First is still free to watch. I have a lot of respect for your approach to automotive journalism. But as someone who alread pays 150-something rupees every month for RUclips premium, despite how much I love this channel, I can not justify paying another ₹400 for this membership. So all the very best to you and your team. This is still one of the best channels out there. I will continue to watch what I can :)

    Kudos to BYD! They’ve done an incredible job with the seal. I really do believe that this car is going to reform what we perceive as value at that price point- for that kind of car.
    I also believe it’ll be instrumental at converting die hard ICE fans into EV owners. 500 plus horsepower at 50L is just too good to be true.

      My point was more on how American and European brands are being devalued due to their change in ownership.

    First impression of the design of the car, it looks better than expected (yes I know it looks like the Porsche Taycan). The specs looks good for an EV compared to the more expensive options like the BMW & Mercedes. If they can concentrate a bit more on the interior cabin design, fit & finish, this will "Seal" the deal for many of us!🤪
    I think the ideal scenario for BYD would be, have a manufacturing unit here in our country, give employment to our people, pay the tax to our country & take a part of their profits to their home country China, that would be good for both countries as that helps to build trust b/w the two nations. Other than that, I'm certainly running out of words to describe the kind of videos you put out, the effort you put behind every video, the quality of the content & the way it's presented. Like it said before, this channel is stronger than drugs in terms of addiction. 💛❤

    52:31 Yes Kartikeya, I do
    Maybe it's the fact that my Ather does bluetooth really good and the fact that I always have one side of my neckband always in my ear while riding coz driving 15+kms every day is pretty boring in the dense city traffic without some music & if my mom or dad or someone else calls my while riding, I can see who it is and pick the phone up and talk for a brief moment till I tell them that I'm riding & I'll talk later but yeah if you deprive me of the bluetooth I won't complain but I love to have that with me

    BYD has been in India much longer than the E6. They have been selling their buses under Olectra brand, many states have been running these buses for quite sometime. I saw a documentary of the BYD city or something couple of years ago. If I recall correctly a lot of it is run on BYD tech.
    You guys laid down some hard hitting facts and I agree. It's all nice to sit and bash a company because its Chinese, whereas a lot of our everyday tech stuff is either Chinese or manufactured there. Something one has to understand, if Chinese products were a 'threat' to Indian companies, the govt wouldn't approve to sell them here, right? Also, Govt is very much earning from their products just like any other major brand, German or otherwise. Besides, Volvo too is owned by Chinese company Geely (but products are very much Swedish), I don't see people complain about that.
    Anyways, I think BYD is a very interesting car. When you say it delivers most of what its German rivals deliver (except the build and prestige of course), one must account for the fact that it is priced like 20 Lacs lower (I think you mentioned that, I haven't cross checked exact price). 20 Lacs is a lot of money! (may not be for someone who spends 50+ lacs) but that along with taxes make the difference even larger. So I don't think its completely fair expecting similar feel / finish / experience. Would I buy one if I had the money? No, but its not cuz its Chinese. Its because I wouldn't want to own an EV (Drive occasionally? sure) The aural and mechanical feeling from an ICE vehicle cannot be matched by blistering performance alone. So I will still consume the Dinosaur juice and will use it as long as it lasts. Thank you :D

      How is the charging infrastructure in India? I’ve seen a lot of EV reviews, but none yet on the charging infrastructure.
      That is a big hurdle to EV adoption I feel. I’ve been in the US for the last 3 years, EV adoption is higher in coasts and lower in the middle states. But it is definitely the future as much as I hate it.
      I would like to know how prepared india is in terms of supporting infrastructure, legislation for charging standards etc, because the US is also lagging behind in these terms.
      I feel the switch to EV will also shift global perception of brands and countries in a global context. Happy to see Mahindra doing EVs though!

      Films are basically illegal unless they block 5% or less of light - you’ll have to look up the exact number. This means infrared blocking films that do not cut light but cut heat should be okay.
      As PPF etc, they can help but they’re not essential at all. Coatings generally last about a year (max to max) after which they’ve to reapplied - so we see what they do but we aren’t fans of coatings. Just keeping the car clean and polishing it every so often will do 90% of the hard work, KSS
