BYD Seal

I actually like the wheels, but it is a personnel taste. on another note has anyone come across this triangle sign along side the speed limit. keeps flashing on the dash and can't find the sign in the manual.

I don't think so, this photo was taken when stationary in the driveway, but I like your sense of humour

Thanks, I just seem to have this one flashing all the time. can't find no reference to it in the manual and the dealer is checking it out for me.

This was always going to happen. A quick rollout of new cars with no parts, experience or knowledge on the car in question and how to deal with issues that have arisen. I’d say it’s a constant stream of frantic emails from the dealers to the mothership asking questions on how to fix stuff be it mechanical or system based.

I'll probably never use it but did anybody manage to get Netflix working after SW downgrade and sideloading app ? Youtube and other apps are working fine.

App appears to download fine but error on starting application: Device failure occurred. Please try again. (500 -1006)

Have sideloaded the APK as well as downloading it from Gbox but identical result.

anyone changed their reg plates from the standard design ? Thinking about making a subtle change (font and black EU flag)

Thanks, yes have been checking it out myself, and its not a fault sign popping up. it works in conjunction with the TRS speed limit sign, if you turn of the traffic recognition feature the triangle signs disappear as well. had them intermittently come on and off today, nothing to worry about.

The RWD Seal feels unsettled with undulations and potholes compared to the M3 RWD/AWD or MY AWD, quite a strange feeling. Undoubtedly the build quality is far superior in the Seal compared to a MY or M3. I drove 2 RWD Seals extensively and both times they were rock solid, not a single rattle or creak to be heard. Can't say the same for Teslas, rattles/creaks galore from all MY's I've ever driven, particularly around headliner, dash, and rear seats/boot area. New M3H I drove had a rattle around drivers footwell.

IMO both M3 and MY offer better driving experiences due to one-pedal-driving and feeling less unsettled but sadly are let down by rattles. I like both interiors, I still appreciate the minimalist interior of Teslas.

it's a shame Tesla doesn't put more foam padding in problematic areas, headliner and rear passenger/boot area is particularly bad. With the amount of service tickets logged by owners for those areas you'd think they'd have it fixed from the factory by now.

I did not experience phantom braking when I was driving the Seals. Teslas did phantom brake despite driving in similar conditions, unfortunately it happens due to lack of radar integration for ADAS.

That post is FUD, based on one owner's bitter experience. Maybe s/he got a lemon.

The Seal thread is filling up with issues now that owners have them a few months. Not very confidence-inspiring.

The Seal thread is filling up with issues?

Note I don't know anyone with a Tesla that hasn't had rattles and **** all over the place. It's accepted part of ownership for some reason. I'd say if I drove yours I'd pick up a rattle or 2 in a few minutes.

I check in and out of all the EV Groups, and the BYD groups seem to have very little issues compared to the likes of the 1D4, ID3, Telsa, Audi and others, have seen very little issues with the seal both here and the UK Group.

Side query - lost a bit of paint when washing today.
I swear somebody posted a source for the proper replacement colours a long time ago but struggling to locate the post now.
Anybody know off the top of their head? Many thanks!

A few cases reported here now for same issue. Inner arch ends or where bumper meets wing?
