    In relation to my previous suggestion of Driver Preference Profiles, this is a great opportunity for BYD to allow owners to link settings like Seat/Mirrors/Steering Wheel position, ADAS options, Cruise Control increments etc. to a Digital Key. This would improve the ownership experience immensely.

      100% the biggest con so far with the car. Do miss profiles tied to keys. And especially as the seat memory is in a on screen menu.

    That’s awesome. I think I’d rather use a Face ID functionality for extra security. I’d hate for someone to steal my phone and then be able to steal my car without even unlocking my phone. I know it would be highly unlikely and the car can probably be tracked super easy once it is stolen, but that whole experience would be the worst if it did happen.
    Thank you for the videos. I’m currently working overseas but looking to get a Seal Premium once I get back. It’s great to see the owning experience before I get one and really looking forward to it. Took one for test drive when I was back home recently and it was awesome 😁

    What would be very handy is the ability to either adjust the seat position from the app or have it matched to the phone. My missus and I use either extreme of the seating position which means it is very difficult for me to get in the car after she has driven it. Conversely when the seat is all the way back it is a stretch for her to put her foot on the brake to start the car.

    • @LudicrousFeed
