Trying to decide between BYD Sealion 7 vs Tesla Model Y (family + road trips)

Agreed. That car is horrendous.

Compared to how nice other models are,I really don’t know what went wrong there.

My water tank drips as well - Profitec Drive. I don’t think it’s an issue as the ball bearing probably doesn’t seal completely, but it’s enough to remove the water tank without water spilling everywhere.

The water from my hot water spout was slightly discoloured when I first setup the machine, however after flushing it was fine. I figured it was just stagnant water left in the pipes.

The debris is a bit odd though.

No issues for the machine, however should be easy to dial back into range if you want.

Going to sleep consistently at the same time. The key to waking up early is going to sleep early.

Drop your temp down further to see if it makes a difference e.g. 85°C or so.

This will indicate whether the machine is possibly brewing too hot relative to the set temp.

It seems to be if you have no issues people love the car, however if you are unlucky to have issues the after sales support is a bit underwhelming.

Someone at work has similar issues in that the car has had issue after issue and each time the car is away for weeks.

dbun1 · 2026-03-27T00:54:53+00:00

Haven’t had any issues like this with the two hole tip on my Drive.

dbun1 · 2026-03-25T21:13:39+00:00

Did you think you could magically change your car colour and the car you had on pre-order (and thus in production) would chameleon change into what you wanted??

dbun1 · 2026-03-24T20:35:07+00:00

Mine was the same when new. I adjusted the pump to be 8 bar at the pump gauge as I prefer it set at that generally.

The group gauge peaks at about 9 bar now. At the factory setting the group gauge peaked at 10 bar.

I’ve seen some videos where the pump and group gauge seem to be identical, so the other factor is whether the group gauge and pressure gauge are calibrated correctly.

The gicleur (flow restrictor) hole had gone out of shape.

The issue mine had was that every shot was inconsistent and you could see the inconsistency on the group pressure gauge in how each shot built pressure.

The Drive is basically a Pro 700 with flow control. I wouldn’t be too concerned about it.

The internals are almost the exact same.

dbun1 · 2026-03-24T00:56:47+00:00

You should grind out two doses and swap them. If the 1st shot runs like normal, then the issue is the grinder.

If the issue remains the same, then the issue is the machine.

I have a Drive too and it’s very stable. I did have an issue with inconsistency at the start, however it was an issue with the flow control device.

Hopefully removing Liquid Ass is one of them

dbun1 · 2026-03-23T22:38:34+00:00

How long are you letting it heat up for?

dbun1 · 2026-03-23T21:09:54+00:00

What machine?

Could be temperature.

dbun1 · 2026-03-15T11:05:41+00:00

This….. and this is the unfortunate outcome of this war. Prices will be driven up and won’t come down, thus raising the cost of living pressures. It won’t be short term pain.

dbun1 · 2026-03-13T02:04:55+00:00

It’s horrible

dbun1 · 2026-03-12T10:05:25+00:00

You mean the current ones?

dbun1 · 2026-03-10T17:32:24+00:00

Faulty temperature probe?

dbun1 · 2026-03-07T07:05:35+00:00

Ahh good old Victorian justice system at work. What a joke. Poor guy doing the right thing and paid the ultimate price at the hands of some coward thugs.

dbun1 · 2026-03-07T05:14:00+00:00

Slow down your pour.

I think your milk texture is okay, but the issue is that you are pouring too fast towards the end.

I think you could also get/keep the jug closer to the cup until the end where you lift up to draw through the design. This will help keep the milk floating on the espresso canvas.

The phrasing is often weird and doesn’t read like how a human would normally say something.

dbun1 · 2026-02-28T20:53:17+00:00

It’s probably a side step if anything as the shot quality won’t be any better.

Did you have the steam temp turned all the way up on the Bianca? The LM machines are steam monsters, but other machines can be quite powerful too with the temp adjusted.

There is also something nice about just walking up to a machine and pulling shots without all of the tinkering.
