🙌 I actually like model Y exterior a lot now. I used to 😒 it. But the design grows on me. In terms of exterior, I would rank MY first, followed by Sealion and G6 (I know many will disagree!). Nvr say nvr, if the price is right, I may just accept all the "inconvenience" of MY. Ha!

My mantra is...choose wife follow the heart...choose mistress aka car follow the head aka wallet...🙏😁

Yet to see the sealion 7, but managed to take a look at the xpeng G6 and the Aion Hyptec HT. Both very impressive. Given that I have seen the seal, and if the sealion 7 is a close cousin, then my money will be with the G6 or the Hyptec HT. 

Will go for a test drive after CNY, and dive deeper between the two very Similar contesters. Might end up with price as the deciding factor.

 

I thought you German car supporter? 🤣

I don’t mind Tesla inconveniences as I don’t change anything when I am driving.

That’s including air cond.

I do mind its Auto Wiper damn stupid 

I was passenger and wanted to adjust aircon in model3 and it was to change the direction only, not the temp or fan speed.
when I did it, I tio kan by the driver as he was navigating in the city using the screen and about to make a turn. 😆

I just ran through the calculator in the website. 

Assuming you don't take default Grey and take white/black. It's 93k without Coe. So it's still around 202-3k thereabouts?

Only know the default colour is 193,888. The additional colour is more that whats stated on the website as it excludes tax.

I went to kaypo on tesla website. Grey is 90k, so they bidding 103k for coe? That’s a 6k drop from current.

The coe rebate level is at 103k but if coe turns out to be few k above it, tesla will usually top up from what I understand.

I would also add that this is a first gen sealion 7 and we are comparing with a model Y and other cars that have been a while more so likely have more updates and run more seamlessly. Fortunately the BYD sealion does OTA updates just like the seal and so owners can look forward to better optimisation in future 

There will likely still be kinks that are present or need to be updated in future to make the interface more user-friendly or tuned to a certain market. Especially on the ADAS systems, or how the car accelerates etc 

These are what I would feel are important in an electric vehicle over an ICE one too.

Saw, and cut a Sealion 7 along Balestier Road just now. Perhaps a test drive since there is a showroom nearby. Impressions: The side profile looks okay. Back view very European-ish. Hmn one notable thing is that the DRLs aren't too bright. Seems like a miss as DRL is important for looks and road presence (imo).
