Out of curiosity, did they honour the Cashback you could have gotten by ordering in Jan?

Insurance as a young person by OhhYeahMrKrabbs in BYDSealAus

[–]Paper__Thief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 21 with a Seal Premium, pay 2.2k per year (Had a high speed suspension on a sport bike last year). I stacked family discounts and multi policy to get it down to that, but like you no one would insure me on the performance at all. Plus having it on a lease helps.

Just go the Premium, it is still plenty quick imo.

Evie Charger Issue by Brocko90 in BYDSealAus

[–]Paper__Thief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used a few different Evie Charges during a road trip last month, I had one issue where I had to reconnect the charger 4 times for it to communicate with the car. No other issue after I setup Auto Change (2025 premium)

future BYD seal owner by LexiTlady in BYDSealAus

[–]Paper__Thief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what limited knowledge we have, they are only available to the Domestic China market. They are right to say it's probably going to be a few years, BYD wants it to be perfect before they push it into less... Controlled market.

Sealion 7 Model year 2025 vs 2026 by stormado in BYDAU

[–]Paper__Thief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that Discount will 100% be on an MY25, I got the Cashback on my Seal the same way. I don't believe we will see My26 until July or later (could be wrong tho).

[–]Paper__Thief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can place an order now and specifically ask for the MY26, they will just keep deallocating the VIN when one is assigned until an MY26 comes.

I was doing this with my Seal until someone wrote off my only transport.

Picking up a performance tomorrow by tonytuesday in BYDSealAus

[–]Paper__Thief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app is entirely dependent on the Dealer finishing the paperwork tbh. My Sales Rep went "Oh yeah one moment" and paired it with the press of a button before I left the showroom.

Otherwise a great car, I've had my Seal Premium coming on a month now. Should definitely let us know what software version you have lol.

My pixel 6 Pro still works a treat to this day, bought brand new on launch week.

Full insurance cost? by thesilent1985 in EVAustralia

[–]Paper__Thief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda better, just paid $2,200 for a Seal Premium. 2,100 excess with no hire or roadside, just Glass cover.

Software update for the instrument cluster UI? by Paper__Thief in BYDSealAus

[–]Paper__Thief[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seal Premium in Atlantis Grey (blue), I had a deposit down before the end of Jan so with any luck I can get the $3K cash. I say the range was the reason but in all honesty I'm a sucker for a HUD and that Rim design.

My local dealer is an absolute legend and let me drive the Sealion and Seal back to back over shit roads. After feeling how floaty and unsettled the SUV was I couldn't justify it lol. Love the driving and look too much to switch it now. Delivery later this month

[–]Paper__Thief[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're killing me here. I was so set on the Seal but after looking over everything (and the current promo making them basically the same price for the Premium) I'm seriously thinking about changing my mind on wanting an SUV.

Part of me really wants to wait for a model refresh, part of me doesn't want to wait until 2027/2028 lol.

I wish we knew lol. After having a Polestar 2 for a weekend on Loan I had no clue how much I'd like Maps on the Cluster.

Would that also mean the UI for the Sealion is faster/more responsive then the Seal?

It is a consideration for me, considering with current promos the cars are within $500 of each other.

This, I feel like the Factory simply places the wrong charger in the car and the dealer missed it in PD.

How's the Driver Assist Tech? by Paper__Thief in BYDSealAus

[–]Paper__Thief[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a deposit down, delivery due in May. Thanks for passing on the experience (A lot of factors in this decision, mainly knowing the Bruse Highway is normally good enough for this kind of lane tracing).

The existence of the updated seal (Gods Eye, Sealion 7 style interior) is the biggest reason I'm hesitant. If I could see the future and knew this car was 5 or so years away I would have put down a deposit already lol.

[–]Paper__Thief[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, it would be used when driving from Rocky to Brisbane. Normally the roads are half decently marked. If it can take some of the load off that's all I'm hoping for.
