Video Summary
Here are the key points from the YouTube video review of the Tesla Model 3 versus the BYD Seal:- The Tesla Model 3 Long Range has up to 421 miles of range due to its 75kWh battery, which is considered efficient.
- Tesla does not publish its horsepower and torque figures; these are just estimated.
- The Tesla Model 3 weighs 1,840 kilograms and costs around £50,000.
- The BYD Seal makes 530 horsepower and 670 Newton-meters of torque.
- The Seal weighs just over two tons (2,055 kilograms) and starts at around £48,700.
- In the drag races, with both cars in standard/eco mode, they ran 1/4 mile time 12.6 seconds.
- During the races, the suspension system of the review vehicles both made a "clunking" noise under heavy braking, possibly linked to regenerative braking interference.
- In the Tesla, it's hard to brake-boost as it triggers an error message "Both pedals pressed. Motor power reduced".
- The Tesla Long Range has a speed limiter at 126 mph, and the Seal is limited to 117 mph.
- The BYD has a lot of wind drag that can be heard from inside the car.
