Summers aren't that tough on the LFP's, winters will easily cut the range in half

Don't be such a pesimist. I drive on a highway my monthly trip with usually 135 km/h with BYD Seal and in winter with -2 degrees and 2 x seat heating + wheel heating + 23 degrees temp. set inside it cuts the range by 25% due to summer range (400km range in summer, 300km winter).

The BYD Seal is a vastly different vehicle, the Atto's are a brick aerodynamically. I drive mine on the highway every day for work, i know what the range is like.

Depends what you use. I practically turn all the help off as i love to drive my car manually.
Parking with 360 camera and sound distance alerts + also showing distance in meters is so easy that only a very poorly skilled person needs a parking assistant.
So generally you got the most important thing = "autopilot" = especially that the car drive by itself in a trafiic jam (accelerates, brakes, stops, keeps the car in lines) and all the features on board.
Btw. the car - EVO - is practically not in use yet so you won't get real life infos about the EVO.

If you read it carefully i wasn't referring to a WLTP but to a summer - winter difference of a specific model.
I drive my car everyday on a highway and 135 km/h in winter with hard acceleration - i also know the range :D
And we both write about different cars, you write about Atto 3 FWD 60 kWh and he asks about Atto 3 EVO 75 kWh RWD/AWD :D

The Atto 3 and Atto 3 Evo is not fundamentally aerodynamically different, they'll have about the same wind coefficient, so i don't see how that won't apply. The Seal is another ballgame entirely.

yeah but i doubt they developed a full blown new OS for the car. so there will be similarities.
There is no FSD of any kind? Like the systems you mentioned are what, 2.5? Oh, and does the car have front, back, and side sensors?

They didn't develop a new OS, they use a different OS. Android for the old ones, Android Automotive for the new ones

But for some reason, it is not integrated into the native voice command system, so there must be something else running under that?

My existing Atto 3, which is a 2022 model, averages about 14 kilowatt hours per 100 in the city. The new EVO a bit heavier and a more powerful, so you might average 15 kilowatt hours. So divide the 75kwh battery by that which is 500 kilometres in the city and I reckon that would be about right.
On the highway it really depends how fast you're going but allow for about 20 kilowatt hours at 110 kilometers per hour. So your range will drop by 25%.
