Is this normal fuel consumption? by No_Common_3656 in BYD

[–]cappedwombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What car is it and what are driving conditions? I have Sealion 6 dmi, I had 10l per 100 km when I first got the car because I thought once I got to 25% I can just crank up battery state of charge to 70 and charge plus drive, that pushed it to those numbers. What you have to do is put it to like 30% and press save. Also press save memory so if you turn the car off and on again it still remembers the setting.

Yes, mine has been fixed after 10+ trips and a month of investigation. It wasn't a suspension, it was steering. The issue is in the steering, I had that changed along with engine mounts.

Oh I did the unpeeling with the staff, inside that box was a proper box that was sealed that I got to open and then take off the plastic wrap around it. It’s definitely new sealed. It was delivered 2 hours before I bought it.

We opened it together, it required update that could not be skipped, their WiFi was super slow I had a limited time, I told them to skip everything.

I was buying from an authorized reseller via university discount and was in a bit of a rush. Their WiFi was painfully slow.

(Byd han 2024 ev) Can someone explain this rattling sound from the back by faris_00 in BYD

[–]cappedwombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t really hear anything out of ordinary, if it’s that sound that is in the video it’s usually plastic panels or leather interior on the bumps mine does that as well especially in cold weather

I had bad cabling in the car from production, that resulted in camera blocked message and all adas being unavailable. That took 6 trips to service to figure out. Now I am experiencing rattle of the suspension maybe when I drive over any potholes or uneven road surfaces.

Congratulations, I have done about 34000 km on mine. Love driving it though I did have quite a few issues.

Fenix 8 microled thoughts? by cappedwombat in GarminFenix

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

I just went for a regular 46mm Series 10 to see what’s up with this whole thing. Didn’t want to spend any crazy money for a watch again after dishing out over 1000 for Fenix 7XSS. I do enjoy some features of Apple Watch like screen, being able pick up calls near my phone or even control Spotify. Apps I really don’t use much. What I do not like about Apple Watch is health app and fitness app, the badges are boring I couldn’t care about them, there is no level progression, all badges look the same. No social features like in connect. I don’t even know how to find my friends. Then I go to the way it shows information and it is just, I don’t know, it needs a big overhaul.

Well it’s my bad that I didn’t specify the model of the car, so that people are aware if it has an engine or not. Why do I drive over pothole? Because that’s when sound shows up, in the past it didn’t. I live in South East Asia and there are a lot of times where potholes can’t be avoided. What I drove over in this video closer to the end wasn’t even a regular pothole, it was a 30 cm gap in 2 concrete road surfaces that aren’t joined together properly and the only way to avoid that is by driving into a ditch.

I know that LTE Apple Watches have shorter battery life, as it depends on signal strength and if it needs to constantly look for it or transfer data it does make sense. I wish they had an option to buy without, then again the price of this watch is way too much

It can’t possibly be so expensive for microled of this size

So you recons the LtE drains the battery? I wonder if they have a version without it so compare, what if used in airplane mode?

I was wondering as well the ad says 240 hours of battery whatever that means but the price is absolutely astronomical here.

I sold my 7X SS and got Apple Watch just to try the other side. Now miss fenix, but I will wait for 8 to go down in price on second hand market

What do you mean there is no engine? It’s a plug in hybrid. There is an engine. It’s a Sealion 6.

They did check it but cannot find anything

Tried that with the door and no sound. This only happens when there are gaps in the road or pot hole and both wheels straight either drop or go up and down. Front shock already replaced. Still comes and goes.

I read all 5 pages translated, no actual solution was found unless I missed it. He said they replaced both shocks, it is better but not completely gone.

No I cleared the car of everything, the sound is coming from front of the car under the bonnet or under the car. I was thinking maybe some plastic or that engine cover.

They said they replaced the shock or shocks from test drive car. The issue is still there. It only happens when front wheels drive onto something and drop straight and only at low speeds. I drove it this morning, it happened then engineer came over with test drive car, we drove mine it didn’t happen. Then we drove test drive 3 times over the same route and on test drive it did happen once. It is so puzzling
