    Great review. As a 1 year 22,000km owner of an Atto3 I pretty much agree with all your comments, though I’ve only experienced phantom braking a couple of times. I’d also say that the high beam is just not good enough. As a country NSW owner in kangaroo country a good high beam is essential and we had to install a light bar after only a few months. Overall we love the car and have done a heap of long range trips with no complaints for driving or charging. We now look forward to replacing our second car with another electric BYD!

      I don't (yet) have the Atto3, I drive the Peugeot e2008. On the phantom braking, I feel "only a couple of times" is still UNACCEPTABLE. It only takes 1 time to have an accident. I haven't yet experienced it in my car, but I once did on a test drive with an MG4, on a city road with NOTHING in front of me. If a car's behind me, it could crash right into me. Cars (like the Atto3) boast about their 5 star NCAP results, but in my opinion any car that could cause a crash on its own shouldn't actually be allowed on the road. If that was the case, I bet this phantom braking would've been solved a long time ago. Not bashing the Atto3, I mean this in general, I bet my car will do it some time too.

    The main functionality of the rotating screen is for APP display mode compatible. In China a lot of BYD owners prefer to download apps by themselves from a browser, because apps in BYD Market are usually few and obsolete. Some apps were designed for mobile phone only thus they only run properly in portrait screen. BYD's infotainment system will detect this and automatically rotate the screen to fit when launching those apps.😊

      Also I found it's interesting they didn't bother to switch orientation of those buttons on central panel. In China it's left-hand drive so that volume adjustor wasn't meant for the driver, it's for the passenger in case she doesn't like your music.😅 Although I do agree with you a button for AC temperature in that place is way more useful.

    Good video! I have only had our BYD Atto 3 for 6 months, and only driven 6800 km. I love the car, best car I have owned. My husband owns a HSV Maloo Ute V8. He now prefers to drive my Atto. We do find the voice assist useful for quick instructions, however, tend to activate it mostly from the top right of the screen. We hardly ever rotate the screen. For me it is a far more comfortable ride than his Ute, just the right height for me. It would be good if it remembered some settings, however, this has just become a habit when we start the car. Overall, I am very happy with the car and look forward to every drive. Thank you for your update. Happy New Year!

    Great and fun review thanks. I also had two scare incidents when the emergency braking action activated when I was close to front car without stepping on manual braking. I concluded that it was caused much due to my old habit driving ICE car where, to reduce wearing of brake pad, I would let my car slowly coast nearer to the front car when it is slowing down either to stop or to turn. Without nudging the ATTO 3 brake, it would perceive that I was not aware of the situation and step on the brake for me suddenly. Realising this, I changed my driving habit and just use the brake as there is regen anyway. Nudging the brake pedal to prevent unintentional emergency braking has worked for me so far!

    • @juicdgarage
      @juicdgarage  4 місяці тому +1

      Exactly this! When someone is slowing to make a turn, I tend to leave enough of a gap so to not slow down the traffic and time it so that they would be fully out of the way by the time I get there. But obviously the car doesn't know that...

    I find rotating the screen to vertical really handy sometimes when using the navigation. If you are wearing polarising sunglasses though the screen goes to black. Phantom braking does add some excitement to the drive. I've learn't to cover the accelerator pedal when using cruise control so if braking does occur I can just stamp on the pedal to over ride it. When it most often happens to me is when I'm reversing down my driveway about 2 cm away from the fence. Changing the tyres to Sport Contact 7's made a big difference to the grip on the road

    If you're stoked about the wheel cam view - you should check out any of the eGMP platform models. They have a 360 camera system that shows left and right wheels simultaneously + birds-eye view (works for both front and rear depending on which gear you're in) so you don't curb them on either of the 4 corners. really helpful when you need to pass really narrow passages or parking close to a curb.
    the front view comes up automatically when you're approaching an obstacle / tight space, too.

      If you're coming from older cars without the so called half baked ADAS system, this phantom braking & steering locking does affect most cars with such system. A colleague of mine had a accident in a brand new Japanese car as a result of phantom braking & steering locking when he couldnt maneuver. Firstly the sudden hard braking out of the blue caused the vehicle behind him to rear-end his car & the impact shot his car forward into on coming traffic lane. He couldn't maneuver his steering following in rear impact as the steering was locked. Only after the car came to a stopped on the opposite lane can the steering be turned. The ADAS system detected him trying to cut lanes without signalling thus prevented him from turning! Fortunately he was not hit by oncoming traffic. I too had experienced phantom braking with a few rented cars when I forgot to turn the ADAS system off.

    Great review as always. I have also enjoyed watching your "snow video" with the Atto 3. We also own an Atto 3 in Germany since December 23. Since it is a LHD version it has other ADAS calibration and I am actually quite satisfied with it especially after the 1.4 update (which would bei the 1.6 in Australia as far as I know). The heating has been improved after the 1.5 update (I don't know the corresponding Australian software version however). I cannot recognize any phantom braking at all, maybe the European software also differs from the Australian one at that point, or I just have different driving behavior which helped me to avoid the phantom brakings without knowing it. 😄The traffic sign recognition is still trash though, it tells me I should drive 30 on a highway with sped limit of 130 km/h, therefore I have been ignoring the traffic sign consequently, hopefully BYD also improves the traffic sign recognition.
    I also love the suspension and steering. It does not differ much from the german cars we have driven before, but it only applies to the European version of Atto 3.
    However it seems that BYD removed the dashcam function in the European version, since it is controversial in context with the data protection laws in several countries. 🤔

    I've had the following gripes:
    - The doors are heavy! Oldies have trouble opening and closing.
    - ADAS is stinking hot trash. It is downright dangerous. I always disable. Looking forward to an update where we can permannently turn it off.
    - The suspension just doesnt feel right. We feel every bump when driving semi sealed roads.
    Love the following:

      I spent a long time comparing the the Atto 3 and the Model Y as we are planning to get a second car (currently have a Model Y) these were the pros and cons I came up with during all my test drives with the BYD, I would love it for some of these to be wrong (or maybe they fixed them?) as I would love to save a bit of money and go with the BYD.
      BYD CONS:
      No phone key, have to use a physical key (and you only get 1, $400 for an extra)
      Terrible tires (borderline unsafe in the wet) (decent tires are about $1800)
      No per person seat/wheel/mirror position memory
      No automatic driver profiles
      No support for multiple spotify (or any media) accounts
      Less power/performance
      The doors are heavy and low to the ground. Some people have trouble opening and closing.
      No digital childlocks
      Mirrors don't aim down when reversing
      Front wheel drive (feels worse to drive, you get torque steering when accelerating, less controllable)
      Worse lane centering/cruise control, felt very unreliable
      Much much less storage
      No real one pedal driving
      No semi-automatic indicators
      No always on dash cam (sentry mode)
      Barely any functionality from the phone app (looks like it might have been improved)
      Requires actual servicing (I asked what they did, basically nothing + some filters)
      80 kw p/h max charge speeds (Teslas are over 200 kw p/h)
      Doesn't handle as well when driving, a bit touchy and jumpy both in braking and accelerating.
      Can't limit the height of the auto open boot by location
      Infotainment system is awful, software overall is terrible
      More reliability issues (still not too bad compared to other cars, but the common structural rust issues are concerning)
      Built in navigation is bad, satellite connection is spotty.
      Stuck using third party chargers, not able to use the Tesla charger network
      Speakers are pretty bad
      Less real world range than a similar Tesla
      Can't change the volume of the indicators, they are stupidly loud (This looks like it was adjusted in an update)
      ADAS is basically broken.
      BYD PROS:
      20% cheaper than a new Tesla
      Android auto support
      Built in 240v powerpoint
      Has an OEM heads up display.

      I am a model 3 driver and one pro I would add to the atto is 360 degree birds eye view. Why on earth Tesla do not have this is just beyond me. I agree byd has a long way to go but I think they will close the gap in coming years. I think they are also further down the track with home power storage integration from the car but I don’t know if that is a functioning option yet. I think the byd seal can be hooked up to the house power system somehow but could be wrong.

    @LouDeVere 4 місяці тому +3

    Thanks Ed. Absolute ripper! We have an Atto 3 and think it is quite extraordinary in general. Things I really dislike are the guitars rather than having a proper usable door drink holders instead. The drinks holders are always too small except for a cup of coffee. The Qi charging is very hit and miss. The original tyres are atrocious but easily replaced with decent rubber such as Continentals. Biggest gripe is no real Tesla like one pedal driving which should be included and be switchable so those who do not like it or want such an aggressive regen. This could be user selectable. For me, it's a huge miss not to have one pedal driving. Otherwise, until maybe a Zeekr SUV or the BYD Song L becomes available, I am very happy.

    Hi Atto 3 community. My wife and I are thinking seriously of buying one of these. We live in a regional area in QLD. My concern is the range erosion when driving at highway speeds without any regen. What are owners experiences? What realistic range can you plan when at the maximum 100km speed limit?
    Thanks in advance.

    • @jimgraham6722
      @jimgraham6722 4 місяці тому +1

      The Atto LR is a draggy beast. However, it can go quite a long way under the right conditions.
      Going for maximum range I have found the best range speed, with cruise on, under good conditions (good road surface, flat terrain, no wind) is 80kmh. That gives an absolute range (100-0%) of around 430km. Practical maximum range including buffer is around 360km. Headwinds and driving at 100kmh can knock about 12% off these figures. Above 100kmh range can be reduced quite significantly.
      I regularly do a lot of trips up to about 300km between charge points and find the Atto is perfectly adequate for such trips. On very long trips I plan to recharge every 250km. Using fast DC chargers I stop the charge at 90%. I normally only charge to 100% using an AC slow charger (3KW).

      I drove from Sale in East Gippsland to my home in central Vic, just south of Bendigo on a single charge and got home with 20% battery. A far bigger factor than regen in highway driving is gradient. I use half as much power going downhill into the city as coming back going from 700m to sea level and back.

    1. Both volume control buttons are not the same. Press and hold the steering wheel one is mute, but hold and press the console one is turning off the entire infotainment system. The passenger cannot reach the volume control on the steering wheel too, therefore both controls are just find.
    2. You haven't mantioned any major technical issues.
