Seriously, is BYD good?

[byfun]

even BYD is not cheap...

Should say COE not cheap .. plus byd not much china ev competitors in SG yet... just see china brand in Sg Vs Msia.. In msia they have much and better choice to choose from.

With no major competition no incentives for BYD to fight price war in SG.

Unbiased personal opinion is that it is a good meow. Support is good, performance is good, pricing is about as good as can be for what you get.

If you want a more refined UI I think Tesla is better. If you want a more refined interior, Zeekr, Avatr. Xpeng

If you have money to burn for less performance and a nice name, the traditional European marques be it. Interior may not necessarily be better than the high end Chinese models mind you. Those give even Lexus a run for the money.

Just saw my friend ig stories, his byd atto3 got some problem with the screen behind his steering (I think is the screen for showing the speedometer all that), the screen flickering can't see sheet..ended up tio towed back to workshop.

Any byd atto3 owner kenna before?

 

[peterpater]

But this does not ans the

If you ask any BYD owner they will sing until skies high praise until 天上有低下无

But if you offer to buy them a merc or bmw, they will be gladly to give away their BYD.

So you guess is BYD good or bad?

this does not answer if bud is good or not tho. It answers that merc and better.

i know I will get shot down, I test drove twice, Atto 3 and M6. Honestly, the driving is meh. For a light footed person, the brakes are so sensitive that every mm you step down felt like an e-brake. The acceleration is suitable for heavy foot ppl cause my usual light tap on accelerator doesnt really move the car.

The problem with Chinese EVs is that a lot of things need to be messed with in software. Accel aggressiveness, braking aggressivemess, regen braking. Sometimes just too much customization.

Most BYDs are cheaper than COE

And yet Msia best selling brand is Proton, so just buy Proton

Last time ppl drive ang mo brands.. Toyota, Honda all come in.. Ppl ask good or not... Then slowly Korean brands come in Hyundai.. Same thing ppl ask.. Now China brands same thing... Lol

Chinese interiors have seriously come a long way. I would never have dreamed just 5 years ago comparing them to Lexus. Now, Lexus needs to be real scared. Let’s see how they hold up over time. Because that long term viability in my view is a solid challenge in our climate.

Took a grab home earlier and a Attos 3 came . the interior light are quite cool. but driver said once it goes above 100kmh, the car doesn't accelerate as fast as from 0-99kmh. he says he can feel got resistance

My lao pok chia going to uplorry soon. Sigh.

Byd = 不用电 so the car no need charge at all

You see ah... good or not, is depending on your wallet.

Your wallet is good, then BYD confirm no good. If your wallet is not good, any cat also good.

There is never a perfect cat, what we buy is always limited by our wallets.

Yes this is true, the "power" of EVs comes from the instant torque delivery as compared to a more gradual RPM build up in ICE.
For most EVs the sweet spot is reaching 70-90km, after that drag becomes more significant and the motor needs to generate more torque to overcome the increased drag while generating increased speed.

Depends on model... Atto3 is tuned for fast acceleration between 0-50, usually after 50, my ICE easily catches up to it and overtakes it.

For certain other models, 100 onwards also easy to accelerate, but hor, your consumption prepare to go up. I tried before for testing purposes. 70, 80, 90 up to 150, honestly the usage of power doesn't differ much despite sayings claim that 80 is most conservative and saves the power consumption best.

EVs have no engine, no gears, so the torque is instant, which also results in higher wear and tear on the tyres.... trade off.
