  • DOTAKE on 13/06/2024 - 22:08

    when will the $11K seagull arrived in Australia? Even adding tax shall be only $16K, I am waiting for that!

    • MaximumEffort777 on 13/06/2024 - 22:17

      If it ever arrives it’s certainly not going to be $16K. It will be at least $20K but likely closer to $25K.

    • greatlamp on 13/06/2024 - 22:42

      I saw it reported as 15k, USD.

      It's going to be 35k here, that's what our market will pay and still purchase in large volumes.

      • MaximumEffort777 on 13/06/2024 - 22:44

        No chance it’s that expensive given the Dolphin now starts @$37K.

      • Cheapskate Paul on 14/06/2024 - 00:27

        USD15,000 is AUD22500, not 35k.

        • greatlamp on 14/06/2024 - 12:38

          Sure, but since when do we pay the same price for cars as the USA?

          There is always an extra markup in Australia as increasing the price by 10k doesn't lose as many sales as it would in the USA, so profit maximising companies charge us more.

    • Herbse on 13/06/2024 - 23:25
      +1

      It won't. All companies here specifically don't bring their cheap models anymore because we have more spending money than most countries so they bring in the expensive ones for us to splurge on.

      • Cheapskate Paul on 14/06/2024 - 00:32
        +1

        You'd be surprised how many ordinary workers can't, or won't, pay $50,000+ for a new car. There would be a huge market for a non-premium EV for $25,000.

        • Herbse on 14/06/2024 - 10:43

          Of course there would. But overall we have more money so they wouldn't bring the cheaper models anymore. Only the expensive ones so we spend our hoarded money.

          Literally the reason why we're experiencing inflation right now and most products are increasing in prices. Because we have the ability to spend more.

  • Poor Ass on 13/06/2024 - 22:13

    It's funny how in Qld the Atto deliveries in March 2024 for 23 models are similar cost to 2024 models

    March 2024 $53000 drive away - $3500 byd secret rebate - $6000 Qld gov ev rebate = $43500

    The new model $49000 drive away - $6000 ev rebate = $43000

    The BYD Seal has a better design than Atto ?

    • masterqur on 13/06/2024 - 22:17

      Seal is a much better car, but Atto3 is a SUV, which people like.

      • congo on 13/06/2024 - 23:03

        I wonder how much "% roomier" is the atto3 compared to Seal?

        • ZR6 on 14/06/2024 - 11:02

          Seal is very roomy even in the back seats, have been in Atto3, i didnt notice much but again very brief atto3 usage and wasnt exactly comparing difference but also cargo space is where the atto3 has the advantage i would say

    Pre covid an average Joe usually can negotiate at least 10% off a car..

    Post covid with such brands we can only depend on them giving the discount.

    • MaximumEffort777 on 13/06/2024 - 22:19

      Pre-COVID no one is negotiating prices with the BYD or Tesla sales model. They tell you the price and you pay it or you wait for them to lower prices.

          Yeah exactly especially when they tell you "no way i can do it for that" but then keeps hassling non stop once you have left and no longer interested and have found an alternative, all of sudden they can do it for the price and throw in some extras, after what lol

    • shiny1 on 14/06/2024 - 01:04

      Yes. I'm biased towards the Seal, though. I think it looks a hundred times better inside and outside. The legroom is excellent, but the boot space suffers. Plus it sits low, since it's a sedan.

      While True, Tesla sales were up 75% in China. These other makers are not making a dent in the market and struggling to stay afloat and now trying to offload their rubbish cars here.

      • greatlamp on 14/06/2024 - 12:42

        I think it's difficult to make comparisons to Australia with that information. Chinese culture is different, people with money are more likely to spend it on status symbols rather than a local brand

    If this is not a short term sale and a proper down trend.

    Japanese ICE cars would be in trouble.
    Now their cars are same price with a byd or a Tesla.

    They have to lower their prixe too.

    If last year I did not buy a new ice car iwould definitely jump on a a byd or a Tesla.

    Next year when im going to replace my 2nd car. It would be a non brainer to get an EV if the price are like todays price or similar and Japanese and Korean ice/hybrid cars not going on sale.

    • JimmyF on 13/06/2024 - 23:47

      Japanese ICE cars would be in trouble.
      Now their cars are same price with a byd or a Tesla.

      Welcome to the party that Tesla and BYD are playing at.

      Tesla prices are low, but they can make a profit on them at these prices, all while legacy OEMs can't. So legacy is slow at coming to the party as like what we have seen from Toyota with its first EV. It was a meh, over priced for what it offers and lacking all round. So why would anyone buy it?

    • haz on 14/06/2024 - 08:33

      There are still many people who cannot change to EVs due to living in apartments, living in places where they cannot park and charge their car. ICE still offers greater choices for people in trades. The availability of hybrids for many Japanese cars will keep them relevant for years to come.

      • ttt888 on 14/06/2024 - 09:01

        Yes, but the Japanese ICE/Hybrids will lose at least 30% market share at minimum when EVs are same price as their cars.
        THey will eventually have to drop their prices further.

        Covid gave them the perfect storm for the ICE/Hybrids cars to thrive.. but I'm seeing the perfect storm that will smash them back to lowering their prices within a years time.

    BYD should have a budget version of Atto 3. Price should be $33000 driveaway no more to pay. No need sunroof ,leather seats..alloy wheels;;heated seats ..guitar strings ..etc etc…Then it will be the end of Toyota Corolla Cross.

    • MaximumEffort777 on 14/06/2024 - 00:51
      +1

      That would be something similar to the Yuan Up which is a bit smaller than the Atto 3 but would be around that sort of price.

      • Always 2020 on 14/06/2024 - 11:10
        +2

        The Yuan Up is similar size to the Toyota Yaris Cross and cost US $16k in China. If the Yuan Up comes to Australia and sells @ A$ 27k then it will be the end of the Toyota Yaris Cross. When the EV vehicles are on price parity with ICE vehicles…or cheaper ….then the uptake of the EVs will accelerate.

        • MaximumEffort777 on 14/06/2024 - 11:27

          It’s so hard to pick what will come here and how they’ll price them though and the Yuan Up would probably have to sit between the Dolphin and Atto 3 and there’s not much wiggle room there. I certainly can’t see it being priced below the Dolphin despite how low the China pricing is.

        • ZR6 on 14/06/2024 - 11:32

          Im pretty sure that argument isnt one anymore
          Look at current EV prices and ICE equivalents its on par
          What ICE/Hybrid SUVs go for even regular atto3 extended rand price $51k+plus ORC or Tesla Y starting from 56K
          WHat about sedans ? Seal dynamic is 50k + ORC
          and so on, yes legacy automakers that have EV options need better pricing as they are overpriced for what they offer but EV brands now have comparable pricing to ICE alternatives
          you cant compare what the car costs in another country, regardless of the reasons and factors why its cheaper in China is irrelevant because your not buying it there, its not like your buying something from AliExpress that you can buy direct from the manufacturer and have it shipped to your door

    Every has a choice yet also bear its consequence.
    I love OZbargain because we help each other. Even if some BYD 'fans' doesn't like this comment, I still publish and wait for your thumb-down.
    This comment is to provide insider info to potential buyers who know little if any about this BYD brand.
    1. BYD is born in china. A lot of my friends, school mates bought it because of low price. Most of them upgrades to Great Wall, Haval, Toyota, etc because of BYD quality issues. For example, BYD doesn't use Zinc-plated steel on some models in China (Zinc-plated steel is a type of steel that has been coated with zinc. The zinc coating provides a layer of protection to the underlying steel. This type of steel is also known to be corrosion resistant.) Then drive quality and NVH drop dramatically when car is reaching 5-7 years. Every one in China knows that so resell value of BYD is considerable low.
    2. BYD hired a lot of paid posters in china so my friends complained about BYD but a loooots of paid poster pop up suddenly to disguise the poor build quality. He finally went to the BYD dealer in China but BYD said it's normal. He guess part of BYD paid posters is AI. But none of us has solid proof.
    3. BYD dealers in AU seems not owned by its mother group. After several years, there won't goodwill repair if a lot of cars have quality issue. Are you going to bet BYD make quality car for us despite low quality cars sold in China?
    4. BYD is low profile brand even in China, it doesn't represent china's car industry. If you like it, bought one and downgrade this comment. As I mentioned, every has a choice yet also bear its consequence. Good luck BYD 'fans'

    Curious on anyone who’s dug deeper to consider Atto 3 vs Tesla Y particularly given the price drops ?

    I do currently favour the Tesla, not sure why - think I just have subconsciously thought byd are lower quality flimsy plastic with buggy software, maybe an unfair opinion from the early reports but that’s probably changed.

    Have got 3 kids (one is a baby in child seat plus 2 teens) so imagine we would be squishing into any of these and most of the space taken up by pram etc. thinking of moving from a large diesel SUV.

    Tesla
    + charging network
    + minimalistic / superior interior
    + slightly more boot space
    - no Apple CarPlay
    - more expensive

    BYD
    + cheaper
    + Apple CarPlay
    + future V2L/V2G support (potentially)?
    - lower quality (subjective/opinion)

    • aquie5t on 14/06/2024 - 07:59

      BYD already has V2L but not V2G or V2B and will unlikely support it. Sometimes in 2025 both should come through on all Tesla models.

      I think they are both similar quality. Re software I think Tesla's systems are a little better but BYD is more of your traditional car.

      I have a Mazda 3 and will be moving to. BYD Seal this month after spending a week in and Atto. With a Novated lease it is a no brainer for me.

      • dammit on 14/06/2024 - 12:24

        I'm assuming when Tesla does V2L/G/etc it will be a physical model change rather than a software update? As it would need an external power port I expect? Unless it sends power through the charging inlet? So if this was important, one would be better to wait until it's available ?

        • aquie5t on 14/06/2024 - 13:09

          Yes, The current charing port on the Tesla's doesn't allow for this so they will be changing the hardware out to the system used on the new Powerwall 3. The new charging port will put power in and out, the same way it does on the BYD. Their main use case is for you to plug into the Tesla Wall Connector and then to power the house that way. I am sure you will be able to get an adapter for V2L but I would not expect any powerpoints like we see in the Hyundai vehicles. This would go against the Musk minimalist agenda. I could be wrong.

          If this was important I would wait until next year. I need a new car now (the current one has 280,000km and is due for some major things like tyres, brakes etc) so this has pushed me further toward the BYD as I would like V2L for camping and the sporadic backup at home.

    • Azif on 14/06/2024 - 08:13

      Tesla charges quicker and network so better for road trips
      Tesla is bigger
      Byd has compulsory services for warranty

      So byd for city driving or a second car
