#teslamodel3 #tesla #byd
The Tesla Model 3 kick-started the electric revolution in 2019 and remains a huge seller globally. But time doesn’t stand still and the US giant has just released a new, improved version that introduces new exterior design elements, longer ranges and an improved interior. It’s also (slightly) more affordable, with the entry-level model now back under £40,000.
But are the updates enough to keep the Model 3 at the top of the electric saloon sales charts? During its four year production run, Tesla hasn’t been short of rivals but has seen them all off pretty comfortably. The latest contender is from a brand that many won’t have heard of: BYD. Having launched in the UK with Atto 3 and Dolphin supermini, the Chinese giant actually sells more cars than Tesla and has big ambitions for its new European operation.
On paper, the two are very similar with 300+ mile ranges, loads of equipment and similar costs when bought on PCP finance (as 95+% of all new cars are). Join Ginny and Nicola as they pitch the two newcomers head-to-head to find which is the best package.
Do you agree? Which would you choose? Let us know in the comments below.

The BYD Seal is a lot cheaper than the Tesla Model 3 here in Australia. I can't believe how much is being charged for the Seal in the UK. The Seal is a brilliant car - we're very happy with our purchase.

You can access heated/cooled seats by dragging down from the top of the screen. The sunroof is silver coated and does a much better job than Teslas at reflecting heat.

I've been reading about the regen on the Seal and it seems like they've implemented the regen through the brake pedal. When the pedal is first pressed it engages strong regen and blends the brakes in as needed. It appears this was aimed at people switching from ICE cars. It really is a matter of preference though, I'm on the side of what BYD have implemented to have more control of the car.

Test drove SEAL in Australia over the weekend...Quite, Comfortable with excellent interior and driver ergonomics and driving dynamics. The minimalist approach of TESLA 3 is going to cost them "new" customers, coming from petrol and hybrid cars well used to buttons, indicators, head up displays and Apple car play and android auto. A driver still needs to feel in control, a driving pleasure. Overall, I think BYD wins on ride, buttons with phone integration and a strong design language. Tesla stays strong on charging network and a faster charging, I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla brings back some of it's lost functions in coming years

One thing to take into consideration is the updates you get with a Tesla. The BYD infotainment will be dated in 2 years whereas the Tesla will still be updated in 5 years and look relevant. (Check the Tesla infotainment 3 years ago and compare it to now). Also Tesla may not be in the best financial state, but it will likely stays around in the coming years, you can't say the same for Chinese's brands. Last point is the efficiency of the Tesla, in the coming years it will probably cost more to charge a car than to simply put fuel in it, so you may want the most efficient one. The BYD is not a bad, but it's a bet to buy one.

53k miles on a M3, extended test drive on the BYD Seal. The BYD is definitely a more comfortable car to travel in with great quality materials and ride comfort and sound insulation. I also think the BYD looks a bit better. The cabin and the seats are top quality and the exterior is also really nice, looks even better in person. But the M3 (even the old one) is just a bit more fun to drive. Its direct and darty (which I like) charges WAY faster, has the network and also a very large service network. The BYD is in its infancy, driving 100 miles to a service centre at the moment isnt ideal....UI wise the Teslas are also miles ahead. Menus make sense and are intuitive and grouped properly ie Climate/Display/Controls etc. The BYD has a bit of everything everywhere. Menus, pull downs, side swipes. That being said the Seals central screen is something special its so large and so crisp when navigating its a joy. Its also worth noting according BYD any Seals shipped before March come with the indicator on the right stalk and wipers on the left. My test car had this and was a nightmare to adjust to. Apparently the norm in other right drive markets. It also has the most aggressive lane departure system Ive ever seen (Even more aggressive than the MG4). Even an few inches left or right of centre it was dragging you all over the place. Can be turned off no doubt but needs adjusting. Id deffo still recommend it but I think it still needs some maturity and bug ironing to make it a sure thing. Most of that can be done through software so should be easy. Credit to them though honestly it rides as well a C Class/3 Series maybe even a smidgeon better. There arent many EVs that can do that. The new Tesla indicator is a no go for me too 🤣 the New M3 ups its quality considerably but not enough to tempt me for one either... so I'll be hanging on to my old M3 for now. If anyone has one, that would be my advice, especially if like me you still have ultrasonic sensors 🤣 (If you know you know....)

If I was buying now, I would certainly take a Seal for a test drive - although I would miss the one pedal driving (once you get used to the one pedal driving, its hard to go back as I find it more relaxing and efficient). Agree the removal of the stalks on the Tesla is a backward step, even if you do get used to it, its still not as good. As it is I have a 2022 Model 3 RWD, which has the stalks, so I'm more than happy to stick with it (as the stalk delete cancels the many benefits of the Highland for me)!

I've no idea about how the wipers and screen wash are activated, if it's though the central screen or just auto wipers with wet salt on the roads I'd be a tad concerned about ending up with my teeth in a tree.

The reason why BYD doesn't offer 1-Pedal driving is because the majority of the drivers simply don't like this feature. It feels unnatural to most people. I am sure after getting used to it, more people might be OK with this feature. BYD did actually incorporate the regenerative braking benefit of "1-Pedal Driving" into the braking system itself. In the BYD Seal, the regen kicks in when you first step on the brake pedal. The actual friction braking will eventually take over if the braking force required exceeds the regen capability. BYD's system works flawlessly. The ultimate goal is to recuperate as much kinetic energy as possible, and the regenerative braking system in the BYD Seal achieves this efficiently. All drivers are used to "coasting" as a natural part of driving. BYD wanted to preserve this feeling, and I am so glad they did that. One of BYD's major goal has always been to make the transition from ICE cars to EVs as seamless as possible. That's why they outsell all their competitors in China by a huge margin (including Tesla).
@LouDeVere
@LouDeVere 5 месяцев назад
I just don't understand why BYD can't offer One Pedal Driving as a software option. You just go into vehicle settings and select the Regen tab and select the level which suits you - the driver - the best. This way, everyone wins. Those who would like greater Regen can have this easily whilst those who are not that keen on the feature, can chose little or no regenerative braking. After driving a Tesla Model Y, I definitely know which I level I would set.

In terms of the lack of stalks in the new Teslas, I don't have an issue with the gear selector being on the screen, but I also do not like the steering wheel buttons. I think they jumped the gun on that and those buttons should only be paired with cars with drive by wire like the Cybertruck. If I'm going to get a next generation Tesla that will all have indicator buttons on the steering wheel, it will have to be with steer by wire.

@HermanWillems Again another item which should be thought of more thoroughly. What if all systems fail for whatever reason, you always should be left with safety controls; brake, steering, and door open. Although they might lose power, if you press the brake, you build up hydraulic pressure and slow down. The same goes for steering, although heavy, you can always steer yourself away from danger.

Having had my Tesla 3 go into one of their centres twice because the speedometer disappeared off the infotainment screen when being driven and then went into a hard re-set multiple times there is too much of an emphasis with functions on the infotainment screen. Now they seem have put the gear selector on the infotainment screen and the gear selector on the steering wheel. With the problem i had i would have been stuffed in selecting a gear if the infotainment screen was blank. With BYD in the UK now and Nio probably coming soon the range of choice of ev's is increasing and more to consider. The only thing in the Tesla's favour is the super charger network.

What a great review. None of the BS about 0-60 times and drag races. Just a lot of practical comparisons on things that would affect everyday driving. I have just had the chance to sit in the Seal and inspect the interior and have a play around with the infotainment and controls. As a current Tesla Model 3 owner I was quite impressed. The seats are firmer but more supportive, and the HVAC system is much better. It is let down slightly by the lower resolution displays compared to the Tesla. How much would it really add to the cost to put a better quality display in the Seal? Since the new (highland) version of the Model 3 was unveiled, I have been taking note of how often I use both the indicator stalk (including the washer/wiper button on the end) and the direction mode selector (gear stalk) in my current Model 3, without looking. I just know intuitively where the controls are. By the same token, the scroll wheels on the Model 3 steering wheel fall easily under your thumb and don’t require you to look for them like the buttons on the ‘conventional’ steering wheel of the Seal. I struggled with the lack of driver’s display in the Tesla so much, I have fitted an aftermarket HUD. Seriously considering changing my Model 3 for a Seal next year. While the Supercharger network is good, 95% of my charging is at home.

Unfortunately Tesla Perth disable the lane keep, cruise control of the test car and so was unable to see how well it works though I was all along under the impression that it would be much better than the BYD.

You can still play music from a USB on a newer Model 3, but it requires some trickery. If you're comfortable with computers, you could replace the sentry USB stick in the glovebox with a larger device, ideally a "real" SSD (which use higher quality flash memory that's far more durable than any USB stick). Connect it to a computer and format it with two partitions, one for sentry and another for music. Or you can connect a hub in the glovebox USB port, use one port for the sentry USB stick and another for your music. Tesla explicitly advises against this, however. Finally there are aftermarket USB port modules for the centre console which give you more ports including one which supports data connections.

High fidility park assist, Tesla's Google maps, navigation system is far superior as it also calculates how many people are going to the charging station during your long trips. Display at the back with their own bluetooth connection. None of this is present in the BYD. Putting it into analogy, it's as if BYD is Android and Tesla is iPhone.

I have the new Tesla, the capacitive buttons take a little getting used to, but 200km and no problems. Auto cancel works 95%of the time but so far even on UK roads no problem with signalling coming off roundabouts. Shifting is easy and use the atu select and that works 95% of the time. Latest update has massively improved parking visualisation. Over the last 1801 miles my average is 4.12miles/kW and that so far is driving primarily in the UK for the last 2 weeks. And 600 mile journey dead simple with the Tesla superchargers. I looked at the BYD and noisier, softer, more expensive for the base model. (I got the RWD version of the Tesla) 262 miles in general per day covers all my needs and the 600 mile journey added 1 hour and that was because I needed to arrive with 70% charge as there was no destination charge until the following day. This was my first Ev and I think it was a good choice, though I do agree that the BYD does look nicer outside. 😊

I spent a long time mulling over both options and have (or had) a deposit on and test drove both: I preferred the tm3 throttle response which I found to be instant, the seal had some delay (I was in sports mode for both) The seal cannot compete with Tesla sentry mode, if you’ve used it before you’ll know what you’re missing. The seal in my country does not ship with a dash cam. The Dealer suggested I buy a 3rd party dashcam Premium connectivity for relatively unlimited RU-vid Netflix streaming when travelling with the kids vs a 2gb data cap on the seal (albeit free), my head hit the roof in the rear seat of the seal, not so the m3 (I’m 6’4), seal performance is 7k more expensive than the m3lr. (Shouldn’t it be the other way around being the challenger) What I liked from the seal - imo slightly better driving position, heads up display (note that I couldn’t get the steering wheel in a position I liked with out obscuring the second display), vtl, tow rating of 1500kg. vs 1000kg on the Tesla. On balance going I’ll be going ahead with the M3 long range due to driving dynamics and software, 7k cheaper. Very close call though.

Yes it does have a heat pump which kicks in when you select a charger as your destination, or so I believe! I am certainly experiencing the range degradation that cold weather brings to an EV. In the summer driving in France at the faster max speed -130kmh (81mph), I could easily achieve 300 miles if I ran the battery down to close to 10%, the same journey a couple of weeks ago, it would be more like 220 miles range. Whilst here in the UK on typical variable speed limit motorways - so 50 60 or 70mph in warm Weather would easily see 3.5 or higher miles per kWh. However Genesis like its parent companies EV's offer upto 350 per kwh charging speeds, although i've never seen that in reality...

"I always use the FSD beta, it works flawlessly for me on my work trips. So if and when I update to buy a new Tesla I don't care if it has the stalks or not. " Well yeah, I suppose that makes sense in the future if there are more FSD cars that give you space when you want to change lanes. I drove 240km in the Shenzhen area yesterday and thought what if the turn signals were on the steering wheel. It works most of the time because you need to put the turn signals on while still driving straight,, But there are those occasions when you need to put the signal on when the steering wheel buttons are at 3 o'clock while going left and you are ready to put the signal on to turn right. Then you just push the turn signal button on the left, right? Awkward.

I've just ordered the Tesla model 3 RWD as my next company car. You have a fair point about the car overall though, there are much better electric cars out there. My decision was swayed entirely by the supercharger network. I'll do a 250 mile day once or twice a month for work, and then UK holidays on top of that too. To try and find a decent working charger somewhere unfamiliar without it costing a fortune is rather difficult. Now in 4 or 5 years when I pick my next company car, I hope that the charging network has improved where charging won't be such a worry and I can comfortably choose another car manufacturer.

Nice to have a review on the RWD Seal, as most reviews are on the AWD version, but finally a few are coming through on the RWD version. Interesting how in the UK the Seal costs more than the Tesla. Here in Australia the Mid spec Seal with the larger battery (as in this review) is ~AUD 4k cheaper than the entry level M3 Highland. Prices vary as well. The on road (driveaway) cost of the two BYD Seal versions here in AUS that are the same as in the UK (although we have a cheaper entry level Seal down here as well) are Seal Premium 230kw motor with larger battery at ~AUD63k (~33.5 GBP) and the Performance 390kw motor AWD (Excellence) ~AUD73k (~39k GBP) The entry level Seal with a 150kw motor (same as in the Atto 3) and 18 inch wheels is ~53k driveaway. I totally agree with the comment on lack of one pedal driving. Perhaps it could be added in a software update (or perhaps not that simple?) I drove an MG4, where you could select one pedal mode in the menu. But it was too severe. Needs a slider control for personal preference within certain parameters. Tesla have it pretty much right. I also recently drove the M3 update and was quite impressed and am waiting to drive the Seal before ordering. LOL, yes, the M3 does feel a bit like driving a robot. Just a bit too minimalist for me, but still nice.

Interesting take, I disagree with the reviewers opinion on the road feel and handling of the 2 cars - the new Tesla is superior to the BYD, not that the BYD is bad it's pretty good as well, I just can't understand how anyone who has driven both cars can possibly say the BYD has superior road manners to the Tesla. I think they are similarly quiet, the Tesla definitely has more storage room, and the Technology implementation is vastly superior to the BYD despite the BYD having a few more features like 360 view etc. We don't have any longitudinal evidence on durability yet so hard to tell but as cars they are pretty close but the Tech and cabin for me swing it in favour of the Tesla - the BYD interior is more familiar to people coming from ICE cars so some may find it less confronting but I personally like the fact that the Tesla has no buttons and dials outside of the screen and steering wheel. The lack of stalks on the Tesla was a bad idea this brings the BYD back into play - overall as cars I think they are pretty close - (personal styling preferences aside I think the new Tesla is massively better looking than the BYD which I think already looks really dated) The thing that swings the equation big time back in Tesal's favour is tech & charging - with the latest update the Tesla will gather all of the data for all other Tesla's following similar routes to your journey and using AI will detrmine the best charger & charging strategy to get you to your destination in the shortest possible time by aggregating all of the information it has on who is likely to reach chargers at what time and for how long they will spend there. BYD are nowhere near this level of sophistication - but in Australia they are also $3k cheaper like for like and they also have a $10k cheaper base model - tough choice but I would go with the Tesla (and even more so if it had stalks)
