BYD now accepting pre orders for Sealion 8 7 seater

Chinese made, Chinese owned own governments should never allow these brands into the country!!

Should probably be looking more closely at those American made things.

Basically just everything.

BYD is a privately owned company created by a chemist to make batteries. It only received support from their ministry of the technology at the beginning to start up the business. This money boost from the government is common practice everywhere in the world. The Chinese state owned brands that we have in Australia are MG, Deepal, LDV, GAC

You can sell me on the idea that I should be mindful of where my money goes, Chinese cars, Bangladeshi sweatshops, African conflict minerals, Israeli soda machines, Afghani heroin. But the cars themselves seem no more or less faulted than other constructors.

I feel this is a lost opportunity to call it the Walrus.

It's a PHEV though isn't it? If it was full electric I'd consider trading up from the SL7

Sir that's a bus

It must be that ongoing joke from Germany adapted to the Chinese manufacturing. So it would be 2 in the front, 3 in middle row, 2 in the rear seats and 80 ugyhurs in the ash tray.

Oh no ccp will track me going to coles

I do still wish they would tell us the price

Don't allow em into the country.

I would have bought it for the EV FBT Novated Leasing tax exemption.

Yeah that's what I got for the SL7 though the lease didn't last long as I was made redundant

Would buy if full EV.

Oh God what country are you from? Please tell us so we can list all the government subsidies your country has ><

Yeah I wonder if it also has room for 15 standing. I actually wouldn't be surprised if they entered the heavy vehicle market at some point, they seem to be doing very well taking over from Tesla as as leaders in the EV market recently.

Why?

Good Luck with that. They are worth nothing.
