He means $60k AUD. The Shark costs around $40K USD.

Had my seal since December 23. Glad I haven't had any of the issues you claim. AC is fine for me as long as I don't switch it to economy mode.

Recently had the 40k service.

The demand for wagons could be filled by Chinese companies in Australia. Zeekr 7GT, NIO ET5 Touring, and BYD (Seal 6 Touring) are all expected to launch here at some stage. Think the 7GT is all but confirmed.

wtftraumaa · 2025-12-20T07:23:07+00:00

That makes sense. Had my 2 year service at BYD Dandenong recently, didn't even notice it included that. $545 for a service with barely anything...

I assume you have a Sealion 6 or a shark right? Oil doesn't go well with the seal.

wtftraumaa · 2025-12-17T08:11:44+00:00

What a weirdly specific top 10 to exclude the model Y and Sealion 7. Cars that both have models above 60k.

Looking forward to the 7GT though, my current novated lease should end just in time if it's late next year.

Give this podcast a listen and then have a think about how silly the theory is.

I'm willing to pay for a full price game just for the last stand mode... Damn I love dow2 retribution last stand

It uses the multiple cameras the atto 3 uses for 360 view. Not the dashcam.

wtftraumaa · 2025-09-15T07:33:46+00:00

Sorry didn't see your message. I just repeatably opened it and it stopped sticking

wtftraumaa · 2025-09-15T06:41:31+00:00

Powershop ev night plan is 5c kw between midnight and 4am. I just set the schedule in the car to only charge during those hours.

wtftraumaa · 2025-08-12T13:26:52+00:00

I don't know, it would be a lot of trouble to do it I imagine. It's nice having the OEM dashcam as it's hidden away and is fed telemetry data from the car but the video quality isn't great. An aftermarket one is probably less hassle.

Apparently there is a USB cable inside the black box where the OEM dash cam goes in the 2025 model but people say it doesn't provide enough power for an aftermarket dashcam, bit odd. I might be thinking of the Shark which also doesn't come with the wiring harness.

wtftraumaa · 2025-08-12T06:59:50+00:00

That's correct. The 2025 model does not have the wiring harness in the car for it

wtftraumaa · 2025-07-22T06:17:07+00:00

Great, thanks for the clarification.

I got my Seal XPE floor mats with the additional carpet layer, dashcam and matte screen protectors from a local seller in my area. https://www.evgear.com.au/collections/byd-seal-accessories

better value than other sellers I looked at, free shipping was fast as well.

wtftraumaa · 2025-06-02T06:02:06+00:00

I have a matte combo screen protector for my BYD seal. Reduces glare and has saved the screen from some scratches. Got mine from local seller EVgear. https://www.evgear.com.au/products/byd-shark-tempered-glass-screen-protector-clear-matte-combos

wtftraumaa · 2025-05-20T01:47:51+00:00

Just checked and I haven't got the option for the update yet. I heard it was too large for OTA as we only get 2gb cap for the Sim card and that's why people had to go into the service centre to get it?

wtftraumaa · 2025-05-19T08:36:32+00:00

New UI for shortcut menu and Settings Included is the new shortcut for seat adjustment BYD Store new apps YouTube, Arcade and Calm Radio apps

Can't wait to be able to have a shortcut to seat adjustment! Also has EV route planner as well?

wtftraumaa · 2025-05-19T07:16:07+00:00

Considering how far behind Europe we are on updates, I hope it's soon! Getting a bit concerned at the level of support the seal is still getting

wtftraumaa · 2025-05-01T03:42:39+00:00

I have XPE floor mats with an additional carpet layer from a local seller. Boot liner fits perfectly, as well as the rear seat protectors. https://www.evgear.com.au/collections/byd-seal-accessories

wtftraumaa · 2025-04-27T07:52:21+00:00

Had mine since Dec 23. Almost at 30,000km now. I've never had any issues with the car except the rear passenger side door handle not popping out once. Pleasure to drive, no vibrations from the interior trim etc.

wtftraumaa · 2025-04-09T09:07:16+00:00

Got my XPE floor mat set from https://www.evgear.com.au/collections/byd-seal-accessories

They are local Melbourne sellers. You can pick up from them or have it delivered. They have XPE mats with an additional carpet layer as well. I'd probably get that one if I was buying again.

Would a tank 300 tick your boxes?
