BYD Sealion 6 DM-i - Real World Advice

[wozzlegummich]

Looking for some real world feedback about the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i PHEV. I've read all the articles and watched too many Youtube videos. They seem to be more interested in views/clicks or the next free trip to China.

I'm after you owner's of this vehicle and the things that p15s you off about it. I really feel this is the car for me in my retirement and I can't seem to find much wrong with it, and that sends  up red flags to me that I've overlooked something.

Our daily commute is mainly into our local town (Bua Yai) for shopping which is about 15 km's. Weekly further regular trips to Chaiyaphum (55 km's)  and Korat (93 km's) so most will be done on electric. This is particularly enticing as we will be charging it from our Solar System. 

Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can give.
