Electric cars are not repair friendly, you cant replace battery inside your garage without breaking some connections inside the battery pack which you need big special tools and its expensive even 5years after purchase. All those warranty wont cover serious damage and you cant battery swap compared to ICE , which is less expensive in parts and labor.
This is my take. Nokia phones were cool since I could easily change the battery and the case. 20 Years fast forward, we rarely see phones with replaceable batteries. Warranty wise, normal warranty would normally not cover serious damage unless you get a more expensive additional care package. Like Apple Care and Samsung Care+ to have coverage for serious damage. 🙌
10:05 EV cars can snap your neck back like this .look at the neck muscles.😂 they’re really fast. A bit numb and so silent cause we’re used to having vibrations and roar of the engine when pushing the pedal.
BYD should have not included this to the OCEAN series (SEAL) and just go all out Sporty looks. That panoramic glass roof is enormous but can be HOT in our Tropical country. Aside from that all things are near perfect. The Price is also very good. Resale value comments are mind boggling. These T fanboys always want to use their vehicle 15 years and still sell it above 50% LOL. Buy Real property if you want resale value LOL.

Have they shown impact of car at front, side and back to proved that they don’t explode on extreme impact. Recently a tesla model in Canada killed its passengers because it probably explode when it came crushing against another vehicle.
@@SoJooCars Can you also post in your video as a topic concerning EV cars burning, exploding and spewing toxic gas? Or it is just a hoax? So that we Filipinos are aware of the reality and possibility of exposing our family if we buy one.
Tesla is not BYD. Both manufacturers are using different batteries. Tesla batteries are from CATL. BYD manufactures their own blade batteries and it is one of the safest to date.
@@sonikwro have you seen it in real life? Anything but boring! But if you don't like Chinese or Korean styling then stick with European or Japanese cars. Boring is definitely not the right term for the Seal!
@@stargeyser1i hate ev cars and chinese cars we’ve owned Toyota’s ,Ford, Honda,Hyundai and soon to have Sealion 6 but I must say if you are thinking of Resale value of economical cars/ Common cars you are in the wrong car category these will significantly lose their value just like every normal car out there.

Ang dami na BYD sa kalsada mapapabili din ako malaki tipid kasi home charging no more fuel station.
True! Kapag may sariling charger! Winner yan!
@@SoJooCarstapps pag home solar charging magkano kaya magsetup
I agree with u, the power and speed of these performance cara should be placed in responsible hands. Great review again! Thanks for sharing😊
It is a weapon! Stealthily done
How do they replace a dead battery if the installed battery is part and parcel of the car body?replace the car?
This is the performance variant. Hopefully they will bring in the dynamic variant with a RWD, at half the price.

Better than the Model 3?
Will need to drive it
I hope the next gen model will have a sports+ mode for instant ev torque and adaptive suspension with different modes.
Yes hope people will want to pay
How is it with road humps? I heard the clearance is a bit low
road humps are fine!

Glass Roof Cover is available probably in China! Soon we will see them here to SEAL the roof!🤙

The special tint on the sunroof makes the car less hot than cars with no sunroof at all.
Good review, but this is most certainly a 2024 model, not a 2025!
Depends on where you live.
The lifecycle?
This is the current model not the 2025 one. I have the performance version, it's awesome!
There is an upgrade?? Full Change?
@@SoJooCars the updated one is launching in China very soon and other countries later. New interior, slightly smaller battery, Lidar and other bits I can't remember.
Is your seal the updated 2025. What are the added features from this 2024 if you don't mind? I'm also waiting for the 2025 model. TIA.

Compare it to HAN SooJoo
Han is more premium! Seal is faster!
Nasa PIMS po ba si BYD?
Yes Sa SMX

Yes and they did it several times. Then transferred the battery to another vehicle and it still worked.

That is a very valid question..3 years after and five years after what would be its projected resale value.
