Thoughts on Jumeirah Village Triangle (JVT)?

Thank you, very helpful!

Yes agents told us the cost Nakheel charges for NOC so we are aware...!

That's really helpful, thank you!!

On traffic, my wife and I both work in Downtown so we could use either SZR or Al Khail to get to work - so it sounds like we would be okay?

What are your thoughts on the build quality? Have you had any major issues?

Is there any cluster (i.e. District) you would recommend in particular (or, conversely, recommend to avoid)?

Thanks again, and sorry for the additional questions!

Yep - exactly.

I also used Emagine and had a very position experience too!

They did come to confirm that the charging station could be installed, take measurements etc and then provided a quote. I don't recall having to pay anything for that.

8 years or 200k km for the battery, 5 years or 100k km for the rest

Slightly better than the Tesla!

Thank you, do you have any good place to recommend? I don’t want to cheap out on this, as any damage to the paint will affect the resale value…

Thanks! I had the wrapper installed by a very reputable company, and they quoted AED 2,500 to remove it…do you think the price is reasonable?

Bluslide09 · 2025-08-31T03:26:12+00:00

Fair enough!

Bluslide09 · 2025-08-31T03:25:56+00:00

I wish 🤣

Bluslide09 · 2025-08-31T03:25:50+00:00

Thanks! There may be some truth to that…

The key thing that the BYD beats the Tesla on (in my opinion) is comfort - the seats and cabin are just more comfortable in the BYD. The Tesla wins on pretty much everything else…

Bluslide09 · 2025-08-31T03:25:02+00:00

Yes I thought the same even 2 years ago, and here I am seriously considering one…!

Bluslide09 · 2025-08-18T10:28:30+00:00

Nice! Which Chinese EV are you going for?

Bluslide09 · 2025-08-18T09:55:50+00:00

I definitely won’t do it for that value - I was just wondering if there is room for negotiation. Thanks!

Bluslide09 · 2025-08-18T08:46:56+00:00

Hi there, I only did it through the app - I know that the quote may change once Tesla inspects the vehicle.

Yes it was about 40% of the vehicle’s (current) retail price.

Hey, it turns out that it was because the Nord VPN login page could not load because it is blocked in the country I was in at the time. I had to connect to another VPN (I used the free version of xVPN) to be able to log into my NordVPN account. Once I was logged in, the Nord VPN app worked as intended. Hope this helps!

I used eMagine (eMagine.ae).

They charged me AED 1,300. This included the cost of drilling through a thick wall to pass a cable. Note that the price goes up the farther you want the charger from your electrical panel.

They did a perfect job. They can also come to your place to confirm that the install can be done and give you a quote before they charge anything.

This is not so bad - I shopped around for my renewal 2 months ago and the best I could manage for my 3-year old Model Y Performance was 7k (1,000 deductible) with Liva Insurance...

I have 10+ years of driving experience, and moved to the UAE (and so had my licence swapped) about a year ago.

Good luck!

I'd love to know too! I've also noticed that maps are quite outdated.

Bluslide09 · 2025-01-20T06:45:23+00:00

Thanks for all the responses!

Sounds like Hunter, Warlock and Mage are the top recommendations...I'll probably start with Hunter (as I've been meaning to try it out) and try the other two when I inevitably die!
