A guy scavenged a smashed car, and finds surface rust, yeah that’s normal. More information is needed. But I have been to smash wreckers to scavenge parts and always find rust somewhere.

@OneIdeaTooMany Год назад

Yeah same here but on a 6 month old car? And take a look at the photos... There's rust in between two panels which are normally sandwiched together and mainly where the bolt holes were.... That's not right.

@johnhindson5316 Год назад

I am old enough to remember how everyone was so impressed with the Lancia Beta. Looked good and a really spacious family car. Then there were reports of rust. Lancia quickly went from hero to zero and all Italian cars started to be looked on with suspicion. As to the questions that the Viking asks such as "Is this normal?" and "Is this serious?" my answer would be that having rust on a £30k new car after a few months is unacceptable and should raise serious questions about BYD. In the 1980s/1990s the CEO of the Scandinavian Airline SAS used to exhort his staff to achieve excellence in everything they did by saying " if a traveller notices coffee stains on the fold down tray on the back of the seat in front they will think-- if they can't clean the tray how good will their engine maintenance be? -- ". If BYD can't build a car body how can they build an electric motor? If I were the Viking I'd certainly be wary of telling the world to buy BYD cars!

@michaguy Год назад

There was a joke that even the plastic in Alfa Romeos rusted. That was in the 80s and they fixed it. (NB I drive an Alfa)

@duster8100 Год назад

When Falcons first came to Australia my friend's Dad started a panel beating workshop to fix the rust before they were sold. I worked in a Lancia dealership, awesome cars but rust and other problems held them back. We had a customer who was a Qantas pilot and he dropped his car in one day and said he was being posted OS for 6 months so that should give us plenty of time to sort out all the problems his car had.

@ciybersal9833 Год назад

Don't believe Viking on everything he says. he is slightly biased towards BYD even if he did own one. If there indeed are issues on BYD Atto3 which seems unlikely considering millions of Chinese live on the coast and seem to be happy buying these more than any other brand despite heaps of choice. But even if they are they are not as big as Tesla's mainstream quality issues on American made cars widely reported for over a decade globally which Viking never adressed because he loves the brand.

Like nobody saw this coming?... EXACTLY what I said about Chinese cars... i.e. there WILL be inherent quality issues by definition, BECAUSE they are Chinese made! Think Honda (first models were notorious rust buckets) It may be a characteristic of large industrial 'evolution' in general, either intentional or 'evolutionary' but early models are going to have quality issues, and China will be NO EXCEPTION... TESLA may be an exception, because they are an EXCEPTIONAL company... but even their earlier models won't be as good as their later models...

@hanfucolorful9656 Год назад

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔I searched in Chinese, and I also found many articles complaining about Tesla's rust. It seems that human beings have encountered new problems. If you are near a substation, there will be electrostatic effects. Substations generate extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields. The actual impact on the surroundings is mainly the electromagnetic induction effect, such as the static electricity generated when taking off a sweater in a dry environment. .For cars with batteries (Tesla, BYD), the body will be charged with static electricity, and every discharge (in humid air) will complete an oxidation process, which may be the root cause of electric car rust.😩😩😩

@remakeit2628 Год назад

Have a good look and you will see the rust is superficial AND isolated to certain fixings. IF there was a rust problem there would be no shiny metal visible. This is the biggest storm in a teacup I have seen from Viking. I tool a BYD taxi ride over 10 years ago (ICEV of course) so I know BYD has well over a decade of experience making cars. BYD has most of the top 10 NEV selling models in China because they are a trusted brand. And the morons on this site that think you can't say bad things about a company in China have no idea of the power of China's social media.... they Murdoch media look like a kindergarten.

Not All engineering is software. Legacy absolutely has a huge advantage in making vehicles that last in terms of Year's, not cycles.

Rust is never a good thing

@knuth.nyhagen82 Год назад

Check facts; Norway is a salt country, due to safety - all roads receive an incredible amount of salt every winter to reduce the risk of ice. And therefor the importer of BYD in Norway, make an extended anti-rust treatment on every BYD they deliver. Well, this isn't special to BYD, all car importers - no matter driveline has done this for 30 years at least in Norway. So BYD will not rust more, or quicker than any other brand. We still remember the first 10 years with Japanese cars in Norway, when this was more or less ignored - and they only lasted for 10 years due to rust. But in the end of that time the Japanese understood. The Chinese already understand - from the beginning.

@渡海-q2w Год назад

As for BYD's recent rust issue this so called expert ''EV viking'' didn't tell that the atto 3 had a body rework for the car that got crashed somewhere in china and that body was rusted by salt water. salt water corrossion is very serious.

Our cars do rust, but nothing like what those photos show. Mainly it is the subframes and underbody components like suspension, pipework, brackets etc. The bodywork itself stays fairly rust free.

Yeah, could see this coming down Broadway. Car manufacturers never learn. Saw a video of a Subaru. Not that old. They put it on a lift and stopped when it started bending in the middle. Completely rusted out frame. Had to replace the whole engine cradle on my Acura. Just no excuse.

@airheart1 Год назад

Yeah... pretty sure you should NOT have that kind of rust, on any decent car, at 6 months in. That is not ok. I think if you took apart any US or European made car at 6 months, you wouldn't see a spec of rust. I think most of us watch Munro quite a bit.. anyone seen any rust on their teardowns? I haven't. Would love to see them get their hands on one of these and give us their educated opinion. Screams, cost cutting and not a good sign. Could just be a bad manufacturing process.. maybe they can fix it. Or maybe this is their product.. and why it's as cheap as it is. Not getting me to buy that shit.. I can tell you that.

@ademcguinness8132 Год назад

I don't think they will be the first, or last with this problem as the MG4 (manufactured by Chinese conglomerate SAIC) also has potential to rust in key / critical areas (here in the UK), yes it rains a lot here but they arrived at the port / dealership with signs of surface rust (wheel bolts, especially) Signs of overly aggressive cost cutting to hit price perhaps ? In any event, not a great sign

@mac H Unfortunately even the good old Nissan Leaf has a potentially serious rust problem with its front suspension where water can get into this area and sit there and after many years of slow rusting can eat into that and the whole front suspension can fail! There is an easy fix, just need to remove the water rust treat it re paint the area then fit some covers

@Boris_Chang Год назад

IMO this is the result of cutting corners to cut costs. Possibly, BYD used less rust protector, and/or perhaps didn’t dip the unibody in a rust-resistant bath. Chinese automakers will eventually figure out where they can and cannot cut manufacturing costs.

@bolychan2310 Год назад

Rust in the fastening part of the construction site is inevitable for almost all brands. When bolts and nuts are fastened, the rust-proof coating will definitely be destroyed. Generally, the original parts are basically fine, and the more the vehicle is repaired and dismantled, the more obvious it will be. Does not affect the safety, use and service life of the vehicle, just go to the car repair shop and have a look.

Don't lie. No other manufacturer has rust issues like this. It stopped being acceptable over 20 years ago. BYD likely cut a corner and this is the end result.

@ChromeFlakes Год назад

This looks like it’s been dismantled then left out in the elements. Sure if there was rust bubbling through the paint it would be a concern. BYD have been making buses for a decade without them becoming rusty. Let Sandy Munro dismantle one and we’ll see if it’s rusty or not.

@royliber3824 Год назад

The problem with this is that the car is barely on the road. It would be "acceptable" even for a 3-4 year old car but not something that barely has driven. I can only guess it happens to some other brands but that doesn't give excuse to them as well lol. I'm no expect on the subject, but if practically speaking rust issues downgrade the safety of the car that much then yeah i'd be concerned for a practically new car. And like he said in the video, in few years theres no way of knowing wether it can be deadly or not... But car companies should take the stuff you mentioned into more consideration anyway, not just BYD.

@DannChewie Год назад

From the original poster that highlighted potential rust issues, it looks like the front and chassis were bolted together then dipped (galvanized/electroplated) instead of dipping individual parts such as the chassis first before bolting on the front hence there is rusting occuring at those areas. Are we over reacting? maybe. Would these sorts of issues be a problem in certain models by other brands? Perhaps.

Because these connection joints as in clips no matter it is bolt nuts or spot welding points, These joints could not be reach covered by protecting solution such elctro plating or hot dip galvanized.

@corporatepsychobabble188 Год назад

The SAIC owned LDV have had serious rust issues with the T60 ute. Rather that dealing with the issue, the distributor of LDV in Australia (ATECO) blamed the owner for living too close to the beach. It went to court and LDV /ATECO lost badly, the judge finding that the their products failed to be of reasonable quality according to Australian Consumer law. This looks like history repeating... my advice is to stay away from BYD until they go factory direct and show that they will 100% own any and all issues.

AHAHAHAHA i warned you all about this, but you didn´t believe me, Chinese vehicles are no good, rust issues, bad welding, bad assembly, electrical failures, electrical malfunctions, and this is not just one brand, is with all their vehicles, even their motorcycles that are made of "Chinesium". Chinese brands wont last that long, leaving you without any more assistence and parts avaiable, and their cars wont last two years without somekind of critical malfunction. don´t believe the new car reviews from some people, they are being sponsored by them, check out the "one year living with a chinese car" reviews, and you will see that im not the only one complaining.

@paultodd9301 Год назад

A relative of mine worked all his working life in a major UK steelworks and firmly believed that the reason that Japanese cars didn't rust so much in the 1970-80's when all other nationalities vehicles were rusting severely was because the Japanese manufacturers insisted on "double rolled steel" and everyone else didn't. So perhaps one of the reasons (apart from cheaper labour) that Chinese vehicles are less expensive is that the quality of steel being used is inferior.

Car age is measured in winters in New York, where they spread car solvent on the roads 5 months out of the year. If you get ten years you're lucky. Surface rust you can see and fix, but internal unibody rust means you junk your car. I remember when exhaust systems were made of plain steel and you'd get two years out of them.

No rust is not normal in such a new car. The thing is what is the anti-rust protection like inside structural items? Seems BYD etc is going to learn the hardway as Lancia and Fiat did in the UK. In fact I think Lancia stopped selling in the UK for some years as a result.

If people are wondering why some cars are more expensive than others, even if they aren't from a "fancy" brand and it competes against a similar car in its category... This is one of the reasons why. Equipment can be similar, performance and economy can be similar, the driving experience can be similar... But the assembly itself and attention to detail is different. I'm not saying any car should be built like a 4th gen Golf, but if BYD won't be able to deliver same safety results or close to when it was new in couple of years or so then yeah it would be concerning for the company. And no i'm not trying to diss on BYD, if any car won't be able to do that then they aren't really that much worthy.

John Cadogan put out a good video on this. His point is that we don't know if the BYD's are galvanized or not, but if they are, then a few localised rust problems are not going to spread and become an issue.

@simonmiller5118 Год назад

As John Cadogan said in his video, it's most likely just occurring as surface rust in areas where the galvanic protection can't get in between assembled parts during the galvanizing dipping process. If they are in fact properly galvanized then it won't be a problem as the zinc coating will act as a sacrificial material to prevent the spread of oxidation through the steel in these localized areas.

@bangkock-cv5no Год назад

Fake issue. He said that he wrecked the car. And when there is an accident the well tightened parts rub on each other extremely and the surface gets damaged so that water can creep into the cracks. That's why you only see rust at the tightening spots. Does not happen under normal operation. With ICEs that's another story since they are under permanent stress du to the vibration of the drivetrain. So ICEs are the ones which have the real issue. Taking apart a vehicle that one wrecked before and then pretending that it says something about a car that didn't get wrecked is intellectually dishonest. .

As I understand it the Chinese retire cars early in there life as a result government regulation. If that is the case you may see rusting because there planned life span is expected to be short.

@STOLSPEED Год назад

I worked for many years on cars from wrecking yards. This looks very much like they unbolted that cross-member or whatever component was bolted there. Until then the paint/dip sealed that joint and I'll bet no rust was seen at that time.
