Tesla Model 3 problems that the BYD Seal fixes
As stated at the time, after [having a Tesla Model 3 for 4 months](https://blog.themillhousegroup.com/2024/03/tesla-model-3-2022-standard-range-rwd.html), I won't be buying one. But what I may well get (or at least, lease), is the [*BYD Seal*](https://www.byd.com/eu/car/seal) instead - here's why:
| Criteria | Tesla Model 3 2024 RWD Standard Range | BYD Seal Premium 2024 |
| --------- | ----------- | -------- |
| Door handles | Aero, but annoying and fiddly | Aero, but pop out when needed |
| Instrument binnacle | None | Yes, 10.25" panel |
| HUD | No | Yes |
| Indicator stalks | None | Yes, normal |
| Rear entertainment screen | Yes | No |
| Roof | Glass | Glass, silver plated, shade insert |
| Supercharger access | Yes | Yes |
| Manufactured in | China | China |
| Apple CarPlay | No | Yes, wireless |
| Qi charging pads | 1 | 2 |
| 0-100km/h | 6.1 sec | 5.9 sec |
| V2L | No | Yes |
Yep, it fixes just about everything I disliked about the (pre-Highland) Model 3, plus what they "improved" in the Highland refresh, and it costs less to boot. Nice.
