It’s nothing special, but I wish they offered a higher powered version for those who wanted a bit more oomph.

It's all about perspective. The Seagull is coming from a small ICE car, so it will be quick and responsive. That’s only slow compared to higher end EVs.
Will BYD Seagull’s success inspire other manufacturers to bring more affordable EVs to the market?

I hope so! More affordable EVs are what we desperately need to accelerate adoption. Other manufacturers might need the Seagull to be the kick in the pants they needed.

I'm skeptical. You can’t do that price point; big automakers have too much overhead. They'll probably target slightly higher segments.

I think this might encourage them to make more affordable options, but we won't see anything quite as cheap as the Seagull from the big brands.

The real impact will likely come in the form of forcing other manufacturers to justify their higher prices. To compete, they'll have to provide clear advantages.

I believe the market will split. Luxury brands will concentrate on premium features and performance and budget brands will try to compete with BYD.

It's not just about price. BYD has found a way to streamline production and bring down costs, so other manufacturers have to figure out how to do the same.

The success of the Seagull could force innovation to come from some unexpected places. We may see other brands bring more stripped down, basic EVs for urban use.
Is the BYD Seagull's real world range a deal breaker?
02 January 2025 06:48
I honestly don't think it's a deal breaker. At 250km, it's plenty for daily commutes, or some longer trips. We have to be realistic about what people actually need to drive.

It's definitely not good marketing. BYD should be more transparent about their real world ranges. However, for the price point, it’s a good range for an urban EV.
Is the BYD Seagull's real world range a deal breaker?
02 January 2025 06:48
I'd say it is a deal-breaker. If you can't trust the specs that are advertised, what else are they exaggerating? It’s about principle and trust in the brand.

While the range is fine for city use it limits the car’s versatility. On longer trips I wouldn’t feel comfortable driving it at all without frequent charging stops.

Most people overestimate how much range they actually need, let’s be real. The Seagull's range is more than enough for 90% of drivers out there.

The inaccurate display is not just a matter of range. That would be a major UX fail that would drive me nuts if the car can't even show its true range.
Is the BYD Seagull's real world range a deal breaker?
02 January 2025 06:48
I think people are being too harsh about it. Real world range of EVs is always lower. For the price, the Seagull is still offering decent range.
Is the BYD Seagull built to justify its price tag?
02 January 2025 06:48
Overall the build quality is suprisingly good for the price. It's not luxury, its more punching above its weight class.

02 January 2025 06:48
I'm skeptical. They can’t provide that level of quality at that price without cutting corners somewhere. It would worry me about long term reliability.
Is the BYD Seagull built to justify its price tag?
02 January 2025 06:48
It’s decent build quality, but let’s not pretend it’s the end all be all. The price is good, but not going to be competing with premium brands anytime soon.

02 January 2025 06:48
I believe people are just too hung up on brand names. Who cares if it’s from a newer company if it’s well built and affordable? Good quality doesn't have to be expensive and BYD is proving that.
