An American car expert found BYD's Tesla Model 3 fighter extremely capable in nearly every category.
Just a few years ago, the Tesla Model 3 seemed invincible. The electric sedan seemed like the go-to vehicle for early adopters in the U.S., as well as Europe and China. It offered cutting-edge software, seamless integration with the Supercharger network and performance that was the envy of top automakers. Then BYD launched the Seal in China in 2022 and in Europe in the fall of 2023. And the barrage of comparisons with Tesla’s new fierce rival began.
” According to him, the overall interior has Genesis-levels of luxury whereas space is comparable to a Model S than a Model 3. The Seal is powered by an 82 kilowatt-hour structural “Blade” battery pack, based on the lithium-iron-phosphate chemistry. LFP packs are comparatively less energy dense than traditional nickel-based chemistries, but they’re more cost-effective and last longer. Even the entry-level Model 3 gets an LFP pack. He also seemed to love the infotainment system.
