BYD Atto3

The speakers and auto steer suck too. Most charging sessions bugged out. It is not competitive quality wise with the competition.

Watched the video there, seems to be all based around not kicking in the cooling fast enough to keep the battery under 45 degrees, which I'm sure can be fixed with a software update.

I do like the look of it but I can't get past if you have 42k. You should really try everything you can to get the extra 6k for the model Y.

When I got the MG it was the top spec one for 36.5k. And before the model Y price cut so the difference was considerable.

What are they thinking? Their strategy can't work.

You have to do something like the Japanese did in the 70s - much better spec for the same money and prove over time that your products are better quality than the incumbents. That worked. Or like the Koreans did in the 90s - cheaper better spec but mediocre cars with old tech and increase the quality overtime and offer superior service / warranty. That worked too.

He repeated the test again.

Apparently setting the cabin temperature to 18 after charging helps bring down the battery temperature faster

2nd time round the car did it 35 mins faster albeit on a Norway route due to reports of flooding on normal Sweden route.

also disappointed this hasn't represented a shake up. People are price conscious so byd must believe they only need to be a tiny bit cheaper, but brands matter in car. They are going to have to slash prices to grow I suspect. This won't be near top of my list now. Wonder what price the 8-9,000e Seagul model will retail at in Europe?

It’s been mentioned as something wanted (or not wanted) in here, and apparently across Europe too. The Build Your Dreams badging will be removed from the rear of the Atto and Seal as a result of customer feedback. It will remain on the Dolphin as it’s pressed into the steel rather than an easily deleted badge.

There are no DAB broadcasts in Ireland any more, so you can tick that one off the list.

I think that's an OK deal. You should have about 8-10k equity when trading in. Do you intend to trade in after 3 years or refinance the remainder of the loan?

Can the rear seats be let down to increase boot space?

For anyone that has bought the atto how were BYD for trade in? Or negotiating the price.

I've asked for a price on mine, BYD said they don't take used cars yet so it goes to a third party that only sells EVs and they are fair enough. His words not mine. I'm waiting on a price which at this point will be Monday.

He did mention that BYD are building their own dealership in cork and when that's open they will be a full dealer and take trade in themselves.

You'd wonder, how much of this is the importer just reading the market badly?
