yeah BYD's importer into Aus is doing this for some inexplicable reason. Is it BYD telling them the previous warranty would result in profits being x-y instead of x? or other reasons? The main reason for not buying a BYD in Australia is there is no dealership network!
Importers mean F all. If I want to buy a car it better have a massive dealership network and trained specialists and a decent enough supply of parts. I'm surprised BYD importer has made any sale at all. Why would any consumer buy a car like this? I'm convinced most people aren't aware there's a monumental difference between a dealership and an importer.

Then they deserve to lose some customers if they can't provide market leading warranty. There are dozens of Chinese EV makers and several that are well vertically integrated. BYD does well in China in part because they can offer quick and effective support. No consumer would trust a brand without a decent warranty and the support network to back up that warranty quickly and effectively. I would not touch a BYD car unless there is a dealer network, repair centres, and a class leading warranty. It doesn't have to be some outlier warranty, just 7 years for the car's non perishables and class leading warranty for the battery which BYD pretty much does offer. A car is so much more than just batteries or drivetrain etc. Everything onboard matters even how (if any) it rattles 10 years down the road.
lol, this forum cracks me up sometimes.
I've never looked at a car's warranty before I bought one. In fact, I didn't even know what my Model Y warranty was until this BYD controversy came up. Guess what, 4 years is all they offer outside of the batteries.
I think the 3100 AUD charges for check-ups would be a bigger issue.
So it's confirmed. The cars entering European market will be Han, Tang and Atto 3. I'm surprised they are not bringing Seal here.
Frigate 07 is now unveiled.
It does seem awfully like Tang in terms of its size. Tang seems to be more premium at this point. I guess this is more designed for export market in mind. We will see. Also, it's price is not that competitive.
Seal pre-order has surpassed 80k now.
Lol, this is all you need to know about Toyota and EVs. The new bZs uses BYD battery pack and electric motor. Basically, Toyota is just putting its sticker over the top
NIO is awfully confident here. I'm not so confident at their ability to ramp up production
This is quite interesting, Xiaomi and BAIC forming a partnership and taking over their plant in Qingdao. I'm surprised they are actually getting into manufacturing portion of it. That normally is quite hard.
Look at BAIC's sales numbers. They're basically a zombie company nowadays.
I'm surprised it's xiaomi doing it but no surprise that BAIC is getting dismantled
