NEW BYD Seal vs Tesla Model 3 vs VW ID.7 - best EV? | Road trip costs compared! | What Car? 

Seal is a great car, comes with 6 years full vehicle warranty, and an LFP battery that has a lifetime of half a million miles or more. You made a great choice!

Yes, next to the design, the LFP battery and the warranty was the reason why I have waited for. 😊

I love the Seal, V2L, Heads up, blade battery, Stalks and Autogful German channel called it's driving dynamics better than Model 3 highland. It's incredible

​@@maximilianhollandvw is best

@@maximilianholland I also loved the seats in that car

Tesla sells millions of them the model y is the most popular car on earth The euro market is tiny also nobody really cares it’s about China and USA

VW is improving, but very slowly. They have a fossil problem, and in this case fossils refer to the old-school engineers designing their EVs.

They have a bit to catch up with Skoda and a long long way from Tesla

I sincerely hope vw never go to Teslas level.. because Teslas interior is lack lister and unergonomical

Not to mention so expensive!

Well Tesla now uses better quality materials than BYD and VW is an established brand so it is normal that the quality is better

@@m.a3914 Tesla uses better quality materials? Seriously, what are you on about? Sure Tesla now uses more soft-touch materials, but it's all one or other type of foam. And their seats are still covered in that "vegan leather", whatever that it. It feels like very thin rubber. Seal, on the other hand, is lined with real quality leather, nappa leather. So seriously, what are you on about? 😆

@@RatimirRSlots of people like me dont want leather for ethical reasons. I’d prefer cloth as number 1 choice, but our vegan leather is great.

Exactly, byd has a very good interior quality and also the right drive is messed up

@@text_inputI rather Chinese genuine leather

BYD all the way

I feel like the hosts deliberately lied about and dumbed down the BYD in this video. Notice how during the boot segment they made it a point to show that both the Tesla and the VW have "an electric tailgate". Then quietly skipped even showing this when it was the Seal's turn (around 14.50).

😮😮😮😮 power a house? No way

True, however I learn 't as an Ex- BMW owner the quality materials didn't transgress to the mechanical systems, everything other than the cockpit was cheap as chips, poor quality, cheap plastics etc, etc. disappointing to say the least, my last BMW mechanic summed it up when I asked him why he didn't drive a BMW, he said his Vauxhall was far better quality.

@donaldduck5731 Haha, fair point. Come to think of it, I've never had a BMW (3,4, or 530e) that hasn't given me problems. Relatively new or old.

All of them are obviously tesla fans , you could tell from their enthusiasm when talking about anything Tesla

@@williamwatitwa3534 agreed, totally not an objective review

Precisely! Seen reviews in english, french, spanish and portuguese and this is the first one that gives the BYD Seal a negative review regarding interior quality. Most of the videos grade it as having a BMW/Audi/Mercedes quality and ambience. But hey, when 3 guys are fanboys of a certain car brand, this was bound to happen....

Ahhh mate. You should only be comparing the seal premium to the Model 3 RWD, not the dynamic.

$49,888 is before on-road. You're not even comparing the same thing.

yeah but what about charging infrastructure

@@solidsaladin121 it's still got a long way to go but we haven't had any issues charging our atto 3 on long trips

​@@gabes-t The BYD Seal (Dynamic) inc on-roads in WA is $54.2k the Model 3 is $68.8k, so $14.6k more, so not far from the difference he mentioned, so your dismissive comment was incorrect

why do you have to be a CONVERT to just drive a bloody car you people are mental,, and all this peeing around with apps and all the other nonsense makes me laugh and when you connect all this doodah up you squeal with delight when it actually works,,,and it says only charge to 80% to save the battery so take 20% off its range automatically to get the true range???????????????????? no thanks I am not a convert

Thank you for pointing this out.

ID6 ? It won't sell.

Great statement. I would like to add the cost check to this. No one will drive to a charging point he does not know and he has no information on the costs. Paying over 80p for charging is a waste of money and you can not compare it to the TESLA using only his sponsored network.

Very good point

A car dictates its maximum charge rate - provided the charger can meet it. The max the RWD Tesla can take is 170kw, if I recall the Seal can take 150kw, and no idea what the VW takes. You can then work out expected max km/s charging rate with maths based on it's real world energy usage... Bear in mind that lithium cells lower their charge rate as they fill up. And we're not taking into account the max amperage and if it's a 400v or 800v setup, and so on.. 1km/s will be in a very narrow and tightly controlled circumstance.

Not possible, would cook most batteries in cars and they would not take such a high charge anyway. 3 minutes charging time for 100 miles batteries that can charge this fast have not been invented yet.

This is a positive development, assuming they work and they deliver on that promise. The next step is to develop batteries that can charge that quickly. It's a few years off yet, but it's coming. Once these batteries are developed, and the chargers installed, there will be no more need to burn fossil fuels and pollute the air just to get around. The future sometimes seems like a rather ominous proposition. But there are some good reasons to think it might be very bright.

​@@AirzonesBlastersA good demonstration of the importance of the charging curve is Bjørn Nyland's 1,000 km Challenge videos. These are the benchmark for evaluating EV road trip performance. I recommend them.

Thanks for the info! Havent known about this

The Tesla Model 3 RW also uses BYD LFP batteries so can also be charged to 100% everytime.

have you actually tried it (for more than one roundabout) yourself? I have it since a few weeks and it took maybe 10 roundabouts to completely forget about it. And, if you still don't like it, there are retrofits available.

@@RaphaelJeger excellent news ! Saddly the non availability of HUD on Tesla is a show stopper for. I had cars with HUD since 2005. (currently have a Jaguar i-Pace). I believe it even more important for EVs to be equipped with HUD as one can easily go over speed limit in town without noticing.

@@marcbungener1877 I drive Teslas since 2014 and the lack of a HUD has never been the reason for my tickets ;-) And if you want, you can activate visual and / or audible alerts when going over the limit, and you can decide the offset. And even for this, there are retrofits.

@@RaphaelJegerI’ve read others say they stopped indicating when exiting roundabouts because of it. Confused.

@@newbris possible, but also quite possibly a good excuse for people that didn't indicate in the first place

I saw some other reviews of the ID 7 and there the efficiency was quite impressive, even when they drove faster on the Autobahn in low temperatures (below 0°C). So I was a bit confused about the high energy consumption.

@@flixm9928 Thought the same thing. The numbers shown here for the ID7 are worse than what I get with my ID5, and that has the old, supposedly much less efficient powertrain

@@flixm9928 you can buy an optional heatpump. i'm quite sure the model in the video has no heatpump while the one on the Autobahn has one

I thought the VW ID7 was the most practical with its hatchback boot, but the price is crazy, the efficiency is disappointing and the infotainment and ergonomics still need more work.

They tested the ID.7 without the (cheap) heat pump option - things would have looked very different if they had included this option that most buyers will get.

The Tesla Dual Motor has 70 miles more range than the RWD (due to the bigger battery, but only 65 kg more weight) while the Seal AWD has 30 miles less range than the RWD (same battery, 130 kg more weight, less efficiency). So, if you don't care about the crazy power, the RWD Seal is probably the better choice.

On paper, that’s all true. I was more wondering about journey times which would need to include charging. The RWD Tesla is faster charging than the AWD version. Would it be faster than the BYD with its longer range, or not?

@@SilverfoxThe The RWD Model 3 needs a few minutes less for the same SOC%, but the LR AWD puts more energy over the same time due to higher power level.

​@@SilverfoxTheFor a good comparison of total trip times, see Bjørn Nyland's 1,000 km Challenge. He has tested several versions of Model 3 (the road trip champion). I don't know if he has tested the Seal yet, but I'm sure he will. He's based in Norway and has tested just about every EV being sold in Europe including several Chinese made cars. In each video, at the end of the trip just after the countdown, he shows a portion of his spreadsheet where you can see several models compared. In my estimation, it's the most valuable EV evaluation resource on the Internet.

​@@davidmenasco5743 I know that engineers working at those manufactures are also really interested in his videoa

Much better then tesla

That’s what I was thinking, they ripped the Seal to shreds but the people I know that have seen the Seal and new Model 3 prefer the Seal interior to the Model 3?

@@dzonikg no

The Id7 is absolutely in a different league. The suspension, size and interior makes it almost a rival to the I5 or EQE… comparing it to the model 3 is a bit senseless… I personally prefer the smaller limousine size like a 3 series, c-class, A4 or tesla model 3 since these cars tend to be more dynamic and fun but comparing them to larger limousines isnt really worthwhile / fair since larger limousines do focus on interior space and comfortable cruising

Yes ID7 has the new AP550 motor 210 kW, 545 Nm.

Tesla is the Best, cheapest, most efficient, safest EV to buy on the market.

if it is a hatchback car it would be the best (probably next model 3 gen will be a hatchback %100 )

​@@user-jz7tr8zb5hErm, you have the Model Y for that..

Indeed the cheapest with missing... Radar Parking Sensor Matrix LED Headup Rain Sensor... Vision Only is not working Android Auto, Capacitive steering wheel etc. ... And I could name at least 15 Things missing in a Tesla, which you could not buy even if you would like to spent the money. If the ID7 would be that poor featured...Business Customers would kill VW...and if it would exist, it would be similar priced to the poor Tesla

@@josefv8708 Radar... humans also don't have a radar and it works pretty well with 2 eyes. So I think the vision only solution technically can work in the future. BTW even with vision only, the Tesla's Autopilot is 100x better than BYD seals system. Parking sensor... Tesla is developing a virtual projection of the world around the car (essentially mapping the world to use that info then in other Teslas for fully autonomous driving in the future). Yes that fully integrated system is some time away but I think is the right approach for future proofing a vehicle/a fleet of vehicles. Can see that some customers though buy a car for the here and now. Matrix LED... well, every Tesla Model 3 and Y just got it overnight via software update - so did not age well ;) FOR FREE too. Headup... personal preference, but Teslas design does not account for that. Tesla wants unimpeded driving view/focus. If you want one, then unfortunately you have to look elsewhere. Can't see the HUD with polarized glasses anyways and adds cost to vehicle manufacture. I think entry level BYD also does not have it. Rain Sensor... got miles better with some updates in the last month or so. Also rain sensor in some other car companies also don't work 100% accurately Android Auto... don't need that as Teslas infotainment is miles better, has Google maps and other Apps like Spotify, Apple Music, Podcasts.. integrated natively Capacitive steering wheel... don't know what that would be useful for and I think BYD also does not have that So, personally I can very well live without a headup display, Android Auto and capacitive steering wheel, and am happy that the price of the Tesla is the lowest one of the bunch too!

more expensive and worse in every aspect as a model 3?

So imagine they would have compared to a model S. It would have sucked even more.

If you have to have it you can buy an inexpensive aftermarket add on stalk. Try getting used to the new system 1st though.

just go and try it yourself. It's in fact super easy - you only every blink in one direction to exit a roundabout, which is simply the lower key when the yoke / wheel is turned 180 degrees. And you can feel the button cleary thanks to a small "bump".

In my country (Germany) the difference between the ID.7 is even smaller. A full spec Model 3 RWD is ~51k€ (7,5k extras), while a nearly full ID7 is 60k€ (8k extras). When talking leasing, the ID.7 is 200€/month cheaper (at the OEM bank) [700 to 500]. Another really big factor is the discount that a local VW dealer can give you. In the end, I think it's fair to say, that the ID7 and the Model 3 RWD is comparable in terms of price and therefore, this video deserves its place. Comparing the ID7 to an EQE, Model S or similar would be totally unfair, since these cars cost way more with a bit of extras (and are also way better).

No indicator stalk and no infront speedo and no off screen gearshift means a big fat NO !!

degradation on new batteries is very minimal. You should worry about the engine on a gas car dying in 12 years.

@@Notme-tq4xsYeah, that’s a lie. Engines don’t fail in 12 years. Such a small percentage fail due to owners skipping maintenance. Yet, all HV batteries will fail around 12 years and cost way more than ICE maintenance. Plus the drive units are failing at a higher rate than engines, and many have 2 drive units at around $7k replacement each. ICE is more reliable and lower total cost of ownership. That’s the actual data, despite the emotions of the far lefties.

Very likely not. It appears quite biased to me that they condemn the ID.7 so hard for its efficiency even though things would look dramatically different with heat pump - an option that most buyers will definitely get.

But at £55k not having a HP is unforgivable from VW.@@Objectivity_Matters

These guys tested this in a different RU-vid and tested the VW both with and without heat pump and the difference was minimum and they concluded they said it didn't justify the price difference. @@adamcole4808

So I was just thinking, this channel needs to have Sandry Monroe on a road trip review video with them! Imagine the culture shock of having Sandy with his boisterous humor, along with the curious UK onlookers. It would make for great content! Please do it! Call Sandy Monroe and pay for a ticket for him to fly over.

I definitely will be buying the updated version of the Model 3 at tax time 2024. The improved styling on the outside and all the things you can't see on the inside that make the Model 3 ride smoother and quieter as well as handle better. Tesla has just consistently improved at building cars and for me it's time to buy my first electric car. I am driving my last ICE Car now with Solar on my roof and battery storage I can charge with the Sun and never buy gas again!

Yes. Much better than the earlier comparative review against the MG4 where they went all wrong on the charging of the MG. Interesting that the Tesla still wins this by quite a margin. I would say, however, that they understated the importance of the lack of indicator stalk on the Tesla. I believe you'll be able to buy a retrofit one but that's a heck of a faff when installing a proper indicator stalk should be an option when you buy the car.

ID.7 possibly having no heat pump would be a larger factor though.

I have seen many reviews where the driver say a lack of stalks I snot an issue and you soon adapt to it. If it is an issue for people then they can buy the S3XY stalks from the same enauto who make the S3XY buttons and they are easy to install and no fuss at all!@@londonwestman1

The whole wheel size is absurd. Yes, 20" looks nice, but for those 30 seconds as you approach the car, you pay with 15% range penalty, comfort and vulnerability to tire failure.

Based off the stated 170kW charging speed, this is the base Model 3 with LFP batteries. Long Range charges at up to 250kW. If they used a Long Range Model 3, this comparison wouldn't even be close.

It’s amazing how good the base Teslas are…model 3 or Y

Imagine how Italians must feel with their network of petrol stations that only accept brand cards.

Also being massively overpriced, subject to catastrophic depreciation, battery degradation, unreliability, higher insurance etc etc.

UK is considered an Island. The once *Mighty GREAT BRiTAIN* is no more. The only comfort is that everything is going downhill all over the world. I don't know why, but i'm glad the BYD did not "Clean House". The Tesla SUPER chargers gives Tesla another nice edge in The World of EV. Even though they charge other car companies more than they do their own for using Tesla Chargers. The Tesla chargers still undercut the other charging companies prices, and it was very easy to download the Tesla app.

Temperature differences make a lot of difference

@@casperhansen826 yes, but the conditions were always the same for all cars. heat pump system in ID cars is quite good (but not sure if the test car had it in this video) and overall with the low coefficient of drag and the really good new drive system I cannot imagine it’s really that far behind …

They tested the ID.7 without the (cheap) heat pump option - the results would have looked very different if they had included this option that most buyers will get. In other words, this review is pointness.

No heat pump fitted in this car I suppose. If true, this real life test is a little biased

The results of this video seem incredibly suspicious to me. We have an id3 with the 77kwh battery without a heat pump and it achieves more range than what is presented here. The id7 has a better drag coefficient and has the new more efficient motor so should be achieving much greater results.

The BMW is premium the Tesla isn’t.

Tesla is pure Garbage here in California. Volkswagen will soon take a share of the market with a high quality precisely engineered suspension with much better ride quality then Tesla which many feel is a cheap product.

simple, they numbers come from the chargers and includes the charging losses. The car’s display shows the car’s consumption without the charge losses.

In good weather a model 3 is incredibly efficient - I have a lifetime efficiency of 5.6mi per kwh and get 6.6mi per kwh in good weather - I have a separate meter for the Tesla at home so I know that my full efficiency is 92.7% of the screen usage so all charging and idle losses included that's 5.2 miles per kwh lifetime and 6.1miles per kwh in good weather - fully accounted for as taken from the wall to the car.

The answer is: They say that it's the "launch edition" (looks like it's something for the UK) which comes without a heat pump. Especially in winter conditions, having none is a big issue. My MJ2020 Model 3 AWD had no heat pump and the efficiency in winter (or even in colder spring/fall temperatures) was quite similar to the ID.7 in this video.

This was filimed in december(ish). The temperature has a lot to do with the efficiency. I get 3.4M/KWH out of my Audi Q4 (same as an ID5) on the motorway in the warmer weather. I suspect it will be be nearer 2.8 in the winter cold tomorrow.

The way to make EV range cheaper, slow down some roads.

CarPlay is not needed in a Tesla as it doesn't provide any value to the overall UI experience

It certainly shocked me. Tesla £59.....BYD £94..... VW £111 Working from figures on similar journeys, my TDI Golf would have cost £58. Electricity is cheaper, LOL Obviously half the cost is lugging the battery around. I have always thought that electric propulsion with a SMALL battery, charged by an alternator driven by a 1.6 TDI running governed to the peak of the torque curve (around 1,500 rpm) would be the answer. A battery range of 30 miles would be adequate for all except long motorway journeys. Changes in the current law would be required, allowing the engine to be left running while the vehicle was parked out of town and in designated areas. With modern technology, theft protection would be on the motor. This is how diesel electric trains work and the MPG is unbelievable.

Yeah I have a Tesla Model 3 and a BYD and I have to say the Tesla charging network in Western Australia is pretty underwhelming and generally more expensive as well.

Many non teslas have a built in route planner so nothing truly unique anymore.

@@CyAn-S well all EV’s are a step in the right direction.

@@CyAn-S True, but what people also tend to forget is the ease of use of those superchargers if you have a Tesla. You drive up to them, get out, grab the charging cable, press a button on the cable to open the charge port on your car (!) and just plug it in. Wait a few seconds for the charge indicator on your car to turn from blue to green and that´s it. No matter what country you´re in, as long as they have a sufficient amount of those stations you are basically set to go. The charging station recognizes your car as a Tesla, recognizes which car it is and automatically feeds the charging info to your phone app and charges the associated bank account. There´s literally nothing easier than this. You also get notifications once the car comes close to reaching its set charge limit and fo course once its done. Unplug the car, close the charge port and off you go again.

@@robertmandl9326 THIS^^^^^^^ I popped over to France, Belgium, Netherlands a couple of weeks ago. Arrived at the hotel to find an EV charge point which I hadn't planned on but figured I would try to use for convenience. I didn't need it but figured it was there. Neither of the typical two RFID cards were accepted so I tried three apps, one wanted a Belgian address, the other failed to create a new account and the third signed up but wouldn't work as a virtual card. As a techie, I found this ridiculous that an hour later, someone with technical competence couldn't get this to work. In the end I just gave up and figured i'd use the Tesla Supercharger the next morning, just up the road as was the original plan. Stayed on Tesla thereafter.

@@borinvlogs Brake performance is a matter of physics and legislation (i.e. road legal tires) at this point. I seriously doubt any EV will do well there. Acceleration I have no doubt, but seems intentionally omitted by the guy asking. Teslas are also notoriously bad with handling/cornering/general driving dynamics. You can find vids of both the taycan and the s plaid going around nurburgring on youtube. If you compare to 2 you can see just how much smoother the porsche is whereas the tesla driver looked to be struggling to control the wheel in turns. You might also be interested to know the porsche was I believe a few seconds faster despite the tesla being up ~50% in power. BTW similarly, you can generally also find comparable times with ICE sports cars down that's another factor of 1.5x from the Taycan power wise. (basically 2009 GTR w/ ~500hp > porsche ev w/ ~700hp > tesla ev w/ ~1000hp). If you want good handling, you go for a small, light, short wheel-based car (or pay out the backend for porsche magic I guess, but even that has limits). Tesla's really quite far from that being not small, not light, nor porsche.

@@adardeslol7513 At this pricepoint the heatpump should definetly be standard, but also you have to compare apples with apples

@@sebsta7990 I see your point, would be nice to see the spec list if possible!

Depends on which factory, some standard range are equipped with tesla's own 4680.

Only GigaBerlin.

Or have an employer with free 400V chargers in the staff car park.

Why do you only work 1 hour a day? 😂​@@Nickbaldeagle02

I'm on the 7.5p rate. Even though I've v4 superchargers 5 miles from my house and lifetime free supercharging the cost of home charging is so insignificant I drive by the free superchargers every time.

⁠@@paulbrowne6087Probably better for the longevity of your batteries too when you’re not constantly using a supercharger, although again some claim it’s a non-issue with Teslas due to its superior battery chemistry. I would rather not take the chance.

As well as being the most expensive, VW are losing money on every EV they sell. They won't survive the decade.

I have a 2020 Model 3 Performance, I still find it amazing. I've noticed that people that are critical of Tesla never owned one. Most people that have owned one will never consider any other brand. Because of the many small unique smart features, I'd describe it as an experience rather than just a car, after a couple of weeks of owning it I was still finding features that were putting a smile on my face.

I'm assuming you are talking bumper to bumper warranty since Tesla's battery warranty is 8 yrs/ 120k miles.

There are markets that Tesla is ignoring, and where there are no tesla superchargers. This is where the BYD jumps in.

Yes for the battery and motors.​@@jpizel1070

are you sure 6yrs no count miles

In Brazil we have no Tesla's supercharges and BYD Seal is a lot cheaper than Tesla Model 3, which makes BYD an easy choice. BTW BYD offers 5yrs warranty on the vehicle and 8 years warranty on battery, no count miles. Only AWD Seal is avaliable here.

Agreed, feel like they measured something incorrectly and failed to catch it, most tests I see show the ID.7 being quite efficient. I also don’t think the ID.7 should be in this comparison at all as the other two cars are a good bit smaller in size and in a different category.

I'm sorry, but VW really is a lobby company. They have their fingers deep into german politics. And now they are struggling to keep up with Tesla. The ID3 was promised to be the new golf, the best selling car from VW. Look what that car has become. I hear ID3 owners only getting 40kW DC max in winters. It's almost as if VW is manipulating their loyal customers, to keep buying ICE cars.
