Seriously, is BYD good?

[harbinger255]

Byd drivers all no money buy bmw audi or merc brand new sedan/x2 above kind.

Ish true.... I buy a byd to do phv until I can afford a non entry level audi/merc/beemer

Seriously, you don't feel claustrophobic in anything less than an A6/5/E class meh?

BYD is a very established brand in China and all my China friends swear by this brand. I heard that billions are spent on research and they are the leader in terms of batteries for EVs. If really need to buy China brand, BYD would probably be the first choice. While in China, I have sat in many BYD's vehicles which were generally smooth and the interior quite spacious. Value for money (over there in China) lol.

However, I have not personally owned one and may not know it's actual reliability in Singapore. So can't comment.

My lao pok chia going to uplorry soon. Sigh.

for EV it is decent, but the price in singapore is 10-12 times more than that in China which I think is crazy. Thats why the chinese EV makers are laughing at duff sgreans.

Obviously they cannot afford sustain their merc and bmw la! Arbo tell you upfront they can't afford ah?

My friend also like that, cannot afford car then have to take bus bmw walk then everyday chanting only kum-gongs then buy car to convince himself public transport jin good jin efficient go car-less is the smartest way to be

Merc and BMW are over-rated lah, nowsaday not as good, especially the A and B class (including GLA and GLB), thin can lah (not made in Germany)!
Even the Merc C class and E class and the BMW engines always leak oil after a few years old, my estate's car park always got lots of oil under them after they parked.
My friend got a Merc whose engine suddenly die while driving on expressway, so scary! Another time engine cannot start and need to be towed back C&C for repairs (and without car for a few days). So many problems after a few years even though my friend bought a brand new Merc from C&C!

the price is high in Singapore due to Government tax, not because the sellers are making more money. All cars in SG are like that. You know that, right?

Ya. My kids sit inside M6. Come out blackface

I walk to Denza side ask the price. I blackface

$300k

its still cheaper than alphard leh

even before our green rebate grant, BYD priced M6 at SGD220k. take away the paper, it is at SGD120k which is RMB660k (which I dont understand why they have the courage to set that price level). The didi drivers in china probably paid only RMB100k which is probably around SGD18k.

The maths is pretty straight forward. Anything that comes to our shores will auto mark up multiple times cause Sgreans can pay.

Probably the import duties for cars and also ARF is part of the selling price.

Not in an X, GL or Q series.

And the facts you haven't buy a byd yet. If we buy den is sunset liao. Like downgrade to hdb from landed.

Actually I think BYD battery tech is one of the most advanced already. Even Tesla uses their battery

and people who think their interior no good should go test drive one… some inside materials are even better than the rubbish entry level bmw or merc

 

[koster]

What about xpeng compared to byd?

Ya I think g6 looks better than sealion

To consider the battery of advanced technology you need to understand what is being placed inside between cell to cell to eliminate possible thermal runway. But this we wouldn't know since BYD never declare or no one asked. I have came across automotive makers using Packed aerogel slotting between cells to counteract thermal runway.

Having said that BYD is still considered one of the world's top 3 battery manufacturers besides CALB and CATL, but the other two are more well known for industrial purposes like we are using them for marine electrification business as well as energy storage purposes.

It’s about branding, pricing la
If today BYD exclusive, sell for 500k then everyone will say it’s very good also

 

[rodimus_prime]

BYD use LFP. Thermal runaway got chain reaction bo? I not sure u sound like expert

Ironically this might be more true for some other brands
