This is what BYD considers the "free stuff.:

In case it wasn't clear, I was asking if the "free" stuff is still included at the new lower price of the car.

Volvo solar charging stations, charging free of charge

Do you realize this is old news?

The article was published in January 2023.

And the comments below it are predictably, hilariously imbecilic.

Thanks, should I get a notification sometime for it to update?

Yes, a little red dot on your big screen. 

They seem to have forgotten about you. I think you should have a word with your dealership.

The question now is how do you know your car is enabled ?

I'll have to go back to the loose gravel slope I was on. Unfortunately it's about 300km from where I live!

Hopefully they can fix it with an OTA update.

I don't know why they didn't explain more clearly in the second video how, and how long it took, to fix the error.

or when the vehicle is under high power.

 

See the second video after the ashen-faced Chinese BYD technician fixed the car. Doesn't appear to need high power for the AWD to work.

Did you try pressing the snow/gravel button?

If you watch the videos (they're very short) and read the comments, it would appear the AWD cars are not AWD. BYD have been made aware of this and are going to rectify. 

Sounds crazy but it looks like it's true!

A couple of weeks ago, I found myself in my AWD Seal on a steep gradient with very loose gravel/stones. I was very disappointed; I was not getting the traction I would have expected in an AWD vehicle.

These two short videos may explain why. What a joke!

Other than my small selection, anyone else got anything they would like to see changed by an OTA ??

Seat memories.

An option to turn on the 3 original, extremely loud, pedestrian warning sounds.

I am sure there are more but I can't think of them at the moment.

Sorry, I was trying to be funny!

I need to check what my PM2.5 reading is. May not be driving the Seal for a few days.

On my Seal it seems to be nailed on 5,

What with your car skittering all over the road and now this latest issue, sounds to me like you've got a lemon, JB.

Couple of questions:

 

1. Do the retaining holes of the driver side floor mat fit and clip into place? in my case, the floor mat holes are too small and cant clip into the pins, so the mat constantly moves.

2. Do your cars make a 'farting noise' around 150km/h? I read this in a few forums on FB, so it seems to be pretty common. Cant believe in this day and age this could happen, although one guess is that the airflow is so maxed out to get to the cd 0.219, it probably takes next to nothing to lose the optimized air flow somewhere....... my guess is the leading edge of the roof glass.

3. Do you follow the charging instructions per manual? always to 100%? and 10 to 100% every couple months? Because I charge from solar, I prefer to charge just for a few hours every day, but maybe that is not ideal.........

No problems with the floor mats.

Have never had it at 150km/h.

So far, I have charged following the instructions in the manual. I intend to continue doing so.

but the back tyres lose traction and the car starts to go sideways. 

I'm very surprised to hear this.

I have not experienced losing traction in my car on a dry road and I regularly floor it in sport mode.

I find the car surprisingly stable.

I haven't experimented on a wet road; I guess there would be wheel spin.

As for the stuttering, I think I have only experienced that twice in nearly five months.

This guy has some interesting, helpful Seal tid-bits in his videos. His voice is rather odd!

 

In this video he demonstrates holding the voice activation button, but it doesn't work for me. Anyone know why?

 

https://youtu.be/X7Tw_F_SEH4?si=uy6FvWjp-u_8UU_0

One thing that I learnt from his video: Using the voice command, I can ask for the window(s) to be opened by, for example, 10%, or whatever percentage I want.

"Open the driver's window 30%." Pretty neat!

Thanks.

 

I am either too stupid, too old or too lazy to work out what Android Auto and CarPlay are. I have Googled them but, as always seems to be the case with all things computer-related, the writer seems to think the reader already knows basic computer stuff/jargon. Can be quite annoying for me sometimes.

 

I need an Android Auto and a CarPlay for dummies!

Probably too lazy more than anything.

As much as I love what I can do and achieve with my MacBook Pro, I also hate it with a passion!
