    I’ve got no need or interest in a dual cab, but we’ve got a BYD Seal and love it.

    Chinese manufacturers are kicking arse, and making the usual brands look antiquated and overpriced.

      Some of the Chinese EVs are impressive. I think a number of European and US brands are in denial.

      Some are in big trouble and won’t make it.

      byd seal looks amazing, the only thing I’m not sure on is the infotainment system, but I’m hoping by 2030 when I get my next EV the tech will have come along quite nicely

        I use Android Auto so the “infotainment” system is pretty much just a screen for Android Auto to me. I’m sure it works fine under there though.

        I have found that being slightly racist and doing a bit of a Chinese accent makes the BYD voice assistant understand me better 😬 I do not do this when other people are in the car because… well, obvious reasons.

          I want this to be true so bad. The idea of like having to put on a comedicly overwrought accent to make a machine understand you is 👌
