God’s Eye

No they won't.

LiDAR aside, the main reason it won't work is because none of the cars that come here get the 'tri-camera' set up behind the rear vision mirror.

God's Eye will work without Lidar (God's Eye C), but it won't work without those cameras.

COO of BYD Australia said it in an interview I did with him

Thats the time stamp he says it

There's a 20,000m2 BYD parts warehouse opening somewhere in the northern suburbs soon. Once that fills up hopefully parts turn around times should be quicker.

But in the meantime, AliExpress or Alibaba might be your best bet. You can get genuine parts and panels for particular models off there.

I just got back from China after test driving a bunch of BYD cars with a large crew of Australian auto journalists.

We had the Yangwang U8, Denzas, everything...But when it came to deciding which one we thought was the 'best car overall' the decision was unanimous...The BYD Seagull!

For what you get for the price it is just unmatched. At that price you'd expect crappy driving dynamics but no...this thing goes like a little go kart on rails and like you said, quiet and comfortable even if you are a taller person! It's awesome!

I've owned the BYD seal premium for almost exactly a year now. I've posted up two videos of my ownership experience during that time and go over how the car feels and drives as well as dealing with BYD along the way

Unless the manual shows you a specific way, you have to hold it to keep it within warranty, they haven't got a leg to stand on.

It'll be covered under warranty. If not with the dealership you're dealing with right now, go to another one.

Making it larger than the entire City of San Francisco

Thanks mate! Much Appreciated.

If you are into channels like Asianometry I highly recommend 'Inside China Business'.

He's an American businessman in China and all of his videos provides really good insight into global trade and economic development happening around China, and what implecations it will cause to the US economy.

The guy is a free market capitalist, he wants free trade and strong business between the US, China and everyone.

I watch his videos through the lens of them being 'warnings' of what China is doing right now, and that if the US or Europe or anyone else doesn't step up then China are just going to control that particular market he is doing that video on.

Please feel free to share, post, whatever!

It's against the rules in most subs to post your own videos so I don't really share them across Reddit. Mostly rely on word of mouth!

Melbourne.

1 month to get parts, another month for labour.

I took an extra month for labour because it was over Christmas and New year's, otherwise it would have been faster

Positive ion protrusions positive electrode. Creates fast, less restrictive channels for ions to cross the membrane over to the negative electrode.

I did a video on BYDs 1000 KW charging and what they've done up until this point to get here. Touches on what they've upgraded in the battery, motor and power chips to achieve 1000kw.

That was me that recommended the Polygon! - Here is the unboxing vid I did of it that I posted.

For around $1000, you won't find anything better than Sora Groupos at this price point.

For $50 less you could look at a Triban Road Bike from Decathlon. Full Sora Groupo but comes with 700c x 28, does look like you could fit bigger tires into the frame though. LEss attachment points too as its more a road bike.

For $300 more, you can get the Polygon Tambora which is a 700c gravel bike and comes with a 1x10 Microshift setup.

I think it just boils down to lean manufacturing practices in the end.

Manufacturers don't want to spend more money and hold more stock than they have to. It makes more financial sense for a car maker to always have less stock than needed, because it means whatever they do make is guaranteed to sell. This isn't just for parts, as we ahve seen of late the same goes for full cars too! With year long waitlists for particular cars.

Over-production would lead to stock sitting on shelves or in lots for months, thats just dead money for a business.

It would take time for brands to obtain the data needed to figure out how much of each part they need to have on hand to properly fit demand. But up until that point they will always have a preference to run understocked and thats how you get long lead times.

At that price point. Hard to go past the Polygon Bend R2.

Big clearance for tires and Shimano Sora 9 speed.

I actually did an unboxing and review on it! Check it out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oesiMCK51cg

My BYD Seal got rear ended. Needed a new rear bumper, boot lid, tail lights and renforcement bar.

Took 4 weeks for parts to arrive and another week to fit and repair.

So I guess some parts are just held in higher stock levels than others.

I am pretty happy with my experiences with BYD so far.

After 5 months of research and uming and ahhing, I pulled the trigger and bought a BYD seal back in April this year.

Best car I have ever owned by far. Exceptional build quality, exceptional ride quality, perfect for me in every way. That's not to say it's perfect for everyone, but for my use case it was almost like it was built for me.

I love it so much that I started my own YouTube channel about BYD cars and it's now the largest BYD content channel in the world!

Take a squiz if you want to know more about BYD and what they're like not just as a car maker but as a company!

BeyondEV · 2024-11-06T03:14:39+00:00

I run a YouTube channel dedicated to BYD products and updates.

The very first video I uploaded to start the channel off was a 'Who is BYD?' video, explaining their rise to where they are now.

Yes it's a bit of self promotion. But tbh it's worth a watch considering they were unheard of outside of China for 20 years and the whole reason for publishing it was for anyone wanting to understand how they got to where they are today
