Until one decided to descend while reversing out of the garden and I ran over it (😞), felt terrible.

 

 

Been there and got the T-Shirt.

I am a big fan of Total tools for the home and garden as they all use the same batteries.

 

I use the leaf blower to move our pack of dogs when needed

I also use their tire inflator as there is no plugging in required

Does the range include that vital on-site accessory, a coffee machine??

Or for us Brits, a kettle?

No to the coffee machine and the kettle, but you probably knew that already 😉

 

The nice thing about a BYD is that is that you can plug in a regular kettle or coffee machine into the car, it doesn’t need to be battery powered.

I have the combi leaf blower and grass trimmer set. Problem is that the battery runs out very fast with the leaf blower. I need to find somewhere to buy a 40 volt battery.

Think they are all 20V so they are compatible just with more Ah

It's the BYD app servers regardless of owning a Seal, Atto, Dolphin, etc.    I got the same notice this morning...I own an Atto.

It is true, stuff like this happens always in the most inopportune moments:

Very useful to know this, seems like it is something to do with leaving the car with an open door or trunk for a period of time sends it into sleep mode.

Seen a few cases on FB and the solution seems to be, as in the video, by pressing the door handle button.

 

Incidently, i have had the steering wheel message a couple of times, turning it fully to the left and right clears it.

I thought it might have been something to do with leaning heavily on the steering wheel when entering and needed re-zeroing but apparently not, found this:

That's kind of classic for Chinese produced stuff in recent years, if it is connected to the internet or IOT etc, they have dozens of brands, sometimes a few, but they all work on the same software framework as well they produce in the same areas.

I spoke with the BYD salesman about my 30,000 baht charging credit, he told me I would get it within 60 days of my friend taking delivery of his Seal which would ne next week.  He now says it's within 60 days of him getting his white plates.  Rever continue to disappoint me.

 

We discussed the BYD enquiry at the Office of the Consumer Protection Board over BYD's pricing and I said I might complain too to which he said BYD will definitely know if you do, so I did yesterday over the lack of increase on 1/1/2024 followed by discount for January 2024 deliveries.

 

I also had a line conversation with MG BKK HQ yesterday asking for my colour and spec choice for my Cyberster.  After a lot of going back and forth explaining what price protection is, I told them I want 12 months price protection in writing or they can stick their Cyberster where the sun doesn't shine (a convertible won't be useful there).  The numpty on the phone knew nothing about my dealer supposedly having done that.

keep in mind that car sellers aren't always the most trustworthy people, whether in thailand or your home country ... 

but i am sure, you know that already ...  :smile:

I sold a Toyota Camry I used to commute to Bangkok weekly from Pattaya with over 100,000km on it.  I saw it in Pattaya later with under 30,000km on it. 

It went from me to tent to new owner and I know I didn't clock it!

Went with my Seal for the first 3 month/5.000 km inspection today, as expected all is fine and no problems. What surprises me is the scheduling of the next 1 year/20.000 km Inspection in April 2026!!, so exact two years after I have got the Car.On my request they told me this date is coming from the central Revers System and can't be changed by any Dealer. Does somebody else having the same experience?

What does it say on the service screen in your car?

 

I just checked my car, and the service interval is still set to 12 month or 5,000km (total of 10,000) which is coming up fast. I will check with the dealer to be sure what is actually correct.

The 5.000 km check is after 3 month not 12 month. Attached the official BYD Maintenance Schedule for Dolphin,Atto and Seal, first service after 3 month/5.000 km, next one after 12 month/20.000 km and so on. For my understanding the next Service to be done 12 month after you have got the Car.

That was not my question..........  you know that modern cars have service reminders in the OBC?

That is what I was referring to - and by extension, whether BYD would via OTA change the service minder to a different interval - but never mind, you answered my question.

The Service reminder is switched off in my Car, so no help at all.
