It is made by BYD aka Build Your Dreams. Hope it comes here and that they change the name before it does,
This could really challenge the Tesla Model 3.
It looks great inside and out
Rumour has it the next two weeks
Yep, called MSL Cork today and they said demo models should be in around two weeks. RWD available soon and AWD should be ready for Jan 2024.
Ah that's a shame there won't be a 232 reg AWD. Would have through both models would be brought out simultaneously. Are the demo models for both?
I said I was interested in the AWD myself and he replied that the demo should be in at some point this year, but only the RWD is scheduled for the next two weeks. I take that as meaning the AWD might be available as a late 232, but it's not expected in the initial batch anyway.
I'll be taking a test drive of the RWD anyway to see how I like it, only major differences are power and adaptive dampers as far as I can see.
I haven’t heard anything yet.
Interesting, thanks for getting back on that. Think the AWD also gets the HUD but not sure if much more as even the very basic version that's coming next year is very highly specced.
Main thing is to get a feel for the cabin and the whole UI which you just can't get from a review.
Navan Road told me AWD will be available in October. I have a cost to change for one.
Same, have agreed numbers.
I've been told that RWD will be available to test drive within the next two weeks and expectation that vehicle will be available for collection in November.
Haven’t heard a word. Dolphin seems to be delayed that’s all I know.
Anyone know if we'll have a choice of interior? Always seems to be the Henry Ford choice when it comes to upholstery. Any colour as long as it's black.
I think it's just tahiti blue interior in the first shipment anyway. The catelog has black too but not an option according to the sales guy I spoke to initially
Cheers!
Have to see it in person first but the tahiti blue interior reminds me a lot of the old mercedes blue interior and tinted glass combo. Wonder if there will be other options down the line. As someone who prefers brighter interiors given the massive sunroof black could be good and keep the interior more minimalistic.
It's actually a good point about the sun roof. I really dislike the complete monotony of a black interior, but with all the light streaming in maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
Has anyone thought about exterior colours?
The Matt grey or their version of it is my choice.
Yeah i’m thinking the mid/dark Atlantis grey or black personally - getting a bit ahead of myself I know,very interested to hear of test drive thoughts on here shortly hopefully?👍
I will never own another black car if I can have my way. Despite my valeting bay built into the side of the house, it’s just a nightmare to keep in good condition.
Jeez you're obviously fussy about your cars?😁
I’d be particular alright.
Even when I bought beaters or bangernomics, I ke-t say saying, just park anywhere. Don’t care about it. I end up cleaning them up and making a few quid each time 😆
I’m liking Polar White with black interior or Indigo Grey with the blue one. The green one looks quite unique but only really goes with black and could be a bit too armyish…
Yeah think that indigo grey is a Matt???
Polar white is lovely too, I love white cars but I’ve had about 12 white cars now. It may depend on the actual depth of white in the flesh. The tesla is a multi coat with pearl effect, but my bmw is alpine white which is quite flat looking at it.
Id love to see the green in the flesh too as that could be a bold choice but a good choice to be different!
Just thinking the green would be handy if you're a gangster burying a lot of people in the Dublin mountains,just for camoflauge purposes???🤗🤗🤗
The white, at least in asian market samples has a pearlescent sparkle finish on it and looks quite nice up close in video. A flat white just screams basic spec to me tbh. Lack of options sure makes it easy to picks but funny to see us all ready to buy a car nobody has driven yet 😂
I’m still on the fence tbh
It will need to be shine as the current M3P is a tough act to follow.
I ordered the black with the blue interior.
It'll be a nightmare to keep clean I know but a shiny black car is also tough to beat.
Have you driven it then???
Can always wrap it any colour you want. Providing you don't mind adding a few grand on top of purchase price.
Of the brochure colours, ice blue or Atlantis grey.
