BYD Seal

Radio reception is not good at all. Constantly changing channels due to signal in/ around Dublin. Changing channels is annoying as the steering wheel buttons don't cycle through favourites or even stored channels.

Saw earlier post asking what came with the car. I got V2L cable, granny cable, charger, car cleaning kit, sun visor branded umbrella but nothing about 2 years service or replacement tyres being included.

Was also told no need to run the electric motor in but the manual says do the first 2000km in eco and avoid flooring it.

I Love it!!!called into my local garage for a sandwich and when I went to pay the assistant asked any petrol or diesel, I gleefully answered no. also notice were scare on the ground haven't met another seal on the road as yet after 2 months.

RWD

Just arrived AWD, very happy with it, software set at July 23 version so there was an update ready to install, the indicators on the right, not an issue for me my first car was a jap import. Included the vehicle to load cable. edited to right side

Thanks, The Merc as them on the left and most cars I have had, had them on the left. Since the RWDs seem to now come with them on the left thought the AWD would be the same but no on the right. edited to right / left side

My AWD has right side indicators. It was one of the early ones.

Congrats on the car and best of luck keeping it clean!

No didnt get the spoiler yet, sadly. It went from the Galway Depot to Portlaoise on Thursday and back to Galway on Friday. An Post are useless you cant talk to anyone. All I was able to do was have web chat with customer care. The girl thought that TOP BYD got something wrong with customs declaration but wasnt sure. Will just have to wait and see I suppose

At least raininsummer got his eventually. I'm not giving up on it yet!

If you set your phone to sync only favourites in the bluetooth part of the phone settings this will only give the car the favourites to consider

That'll shift up come summer. I'm assuming you're in an AWD too.

Thankfully I don't listen to too much radio bar the odd bit of news but yes, it's definitely the weakest part of the entertainment suite.

The AWD is reduced compared to the RWD. I'd expect 450 to 480 in summer. Lads in Australia I'm following are tipping over 500.

400 = still in honeymoon period and a (very hard not to) heavy right foot. Keep driving mode as normal and you’ll see the range increase dramatically. I’m nearing 460 now in RWD, and still not close to driving miss daisy. Spent 1.5hrs on the M50 last week on a bray blanch daily return. 37kms. 5% battery used. So it is consuming very little when you’re stuck in traffic. Good to know.

My 400 was in March in weather slightly warmer but much wetter than this. Don't forget April has been sunny but the temps here were down to about 2-4⁰C last night and they've never peaked above 13⁰C (for me). The battery packs haven't warmed up yet. There's been no prolonged warm period.

And on top of everything else EVs suffer from marketing lies just like petrol or diesel mpg wise.

I'd guess over 500 for the RWD.

I have come to the conclusion I must have a heavy foot. Drove the AWD down to 13% a few weeks ago (normally recharge in 40-60% range). Good bit of motorway involved and last 50k or so at 120 with heater on full ( wanted to get battery percentage down) . Ended up telling me my total range was 357k. My total charge to date, all home charging is 1500Kwh and mileage 5800
