Yup i agree that it jus takes getting used to but if it's not meant to be driven with sudden acceleration and deceleration, even with the century sprint of 1 sec is useless.

It is meant to be driven with sudden acceleration and deceleration. I did it during the test drive and I was able to control it quite well.

Need to qualify that testing new Y was my second time using one pedal drive. I first tried it on model 3 alone and it was not that easy at first. Gradually got used to it towards the end.

When I tested the Y 3 weeks later, I took less than a mins to get use to 1 pedal drive.

Having said this, my recommendation is for people not to buy a car more than 10% of your income (or at least household income). This way, car will amount to no more than 10% of income per year.

I used to getting frustrated over overtaking with abrupt cut in action use case if the regenerative braking kicked in too early, it hinders the cut in timing, making it dangerous, for ICE car, you can use the momentum to cut in then do slight braking to correct the car.

Luckily, Tesla has soften the regenerative braking magnitude for fast acceleration to sudden deceleration transition use case.

Otherwise,I have to let the car cut in with acceleration then apply late braking, this is way more dangerous and not natural.

That is the trick of one pedal operation, cruising, apply instant regenerative braking, acceleration transition to braking, should lower the regenerative braking magnitude.

The sealion has some kind of smart absorber that adapts to road conditions. Anyone can attest to how good is that?

I went for a test drive. The BYD guy told me no need to use brake when going over a hump. Once you release from the accelerator, the car will slow down. I didn’t quite get that. Is this suppose to be the way it is driven?

It is similar to Tesla's one-pedal driving, where lifting off the accelerator pedal allows the car to decelerate and even come to a complete stop using regenerative braking. The amount of regenerative braking can be tuned.

I thought all byd car for standard and Regen one? You can switch to normal 2 pedal drive if u not used to it.

Now $206K. First time I saw the car was $199K. Price goes up in tandem with COE. First year road tax not included. They allow minimum $50K loan for 5 years. Comes with HUD and sunroof and can be covered/opened. I mention this because Tesla does not come with cover.

Better don’t buy Tesla now

lol how on world did you infer that?🤣

Car is not worth spending so much on. 10% allows one to enjoy other things in life

Again, each to their own.

You may enjoy the occasional/monthly BKK-Bali jaunts, while I enjoy the daily roar of a Mercedes C63S.

Who's to judge what is 'worth it'?

All boils down to affordability and priorities.

That's all.
