- Who’s ready for an EV drag race?!
We’ve got our hands on the Tesla Model 3 Long Range, and it’s facing off against one of the newest small electric cars around - the BYD Seal!
So let’s see whether this all-new Chinese EV can take down the Tesla. Under the skin, you’ll find two electric motors that provide 530hp and 670Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels, and it tips the scales at 2,055kg. If you were looking to pick one up, it’d set you back around £48,000.
Then we come to the Tesla. It also comes with dual electric motors, and these should provide you with 490hp and 490Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels, and it’s a fair bit lighter than the BYD, weighing in at 1,840kg. It’s slightly more expensive, though, costing around £50,000.
So can the new kid on the block snatch it? Or will the Tesla reign supreme? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
This feels like watching a submarine race. So calm and quiet
"3, 2, 1" ...soft whisper sounds from the library section.
That was quite a race folks!
Me: Was it? I was watching the guy lining up his putt on the green. There was a race happening?
This isn't fart race
😂😅😢
Calm, quiet and boring.
I love watching submarine racing from a cliff top overlooking the sea
Thing about EV drag races is, you don't feel guilty for speeding the video up. You don't loose any exhaust noise.
You really only watch the video for their interaction. The car part is just soulless...
Its a very BORING no sounds no soul , only boring 😪 Zzz
@@GTI.OWNERSCLUB "No soul"? What does that even mean?
@@sebastiantschatordai they think deaf people are soulless humans
@@sebastiantschatordaiit means EVs are homogenous, sterile appliances that are boring to watch
The interior of the seal is really nice
they seal the deal 😂
Because Tesla is trying its best to keep manufacturing costs down, the model 3 they sell in China even eliminates the shift knob.BYD's interior is much more refined in comparison.
@@lzr11451interior sure but the mechanics of byd is another subject.
lol
@Anomize23 , the idea of swapping batteries makes their cars more future proofed then the idea of Elon musk built in throw away cars , both have there merits but I decided on a bought a Lucid saphire , in a sea of white tesla the lucid is easy to find in a pa4king lot , and the idiots in there s model or plaids get a huge wtf when it takes off, yes lucid is not as big as tesla but I do like the new suv
I keep seeing these BYD Seals in shopping malls (In Thailand) and they look / feel really nice inside... I can't afford one but i might see if i can blag a test drive at some point...
I almost bought one in Bang Na last month, but then I got back to my senses.
They're really tempting, hey?
I reckon in a few years when my current Subaru dies, it's time for an EV. I don't mind waiting cause they only get better.
@@dimitriskoutas6114what was your senses? was it due to price or function or value for money? need advise since i am considering to buy 1 EV soon.
@@JemmyRizki an excellent car and beautiful, I would definitely consider. It's just that I had no reason to buy a car.
The Seal dual motor has a weight of about 2,185kg, not 2,055kg. The lower weight is the single motor.
Holy crap that’s 400kg weight difference, that explains why the Tesla was able to keep up despite having less power available.
The tesla also doesnt have 490hp it has 440.
@@kevintieman3616tesla wasn't able to keep up in acceleration, it was only close in the end because the Seal has a lower limited speed.
I have no idea what the other manufacturers are doing to end up with such heavy cars. Same for the Germans… (I also don’t really understand why no one cares in terms of safety. Those 400kg extra will go somewhere when you hit something…)
@@Sadjina The Seal in the flesh is a much more luxurious class of car and quieter on the road. The extra weight seems to be in the construction of the car plus sound deadening materials.
Can we have another test for "Driving EVs Across UK until They Die" challenge, but this time with Sam, Matt and Yianni. The banter is just marvellous between these fellas.
Yeah, drive from London to Scotland.
You mean a "Let's kill the batteries just for the hell of it" challenge?
.
You have to be a complete idiot to ignore the 5th warning the car gives you.
Totally pointless.
.
The only test that's relevant is "Random point to random point, charge as required".
.
That rates the car and infrastructure.
Yanni can't, he is suffering from back issues...
@@damien2670has he gotten that from relaxing on a lounger by a swimming pool in bali? where he's spending his dough from adverts.. 🤔
Yanni is an absolute melt
Chill drag was a cool comparison! Both acceleration curves seem to be very well tuned and comfortable
Yeah, true, but one would also think that possibly the top end on the Seal could've been at least 10mph/kph faster with the added potential hp.
@@MrDjsmooth87the telsa 3 they drove wasn't the performance model either. So it's probably the most fair comparison.
@@MrDjsmooth87Limited by Law in China
boring you mean
@@Luckyjo21most people are boring people. They just want something that can take them from one point to another fast enough. They don't care about sound. And that is completely fine.
Great video, refreshing, interesting, good banter and a very good comparison of performance between these two makes.
Banter made it boring.

Ill watch a bit more then ill skip. Much appreciated:)

For me Seal is the best. My friend has Seal and I drove just fantastic 🎉🎉🎉. No cons.
You guys are pairing up quite well, it was fun to watch
I'll be honest ... there's something comforting in Sam that makes me feel ... safe. He has this dad-vibe and if I could meet a single person from the carwow team - 10/10 would love to meet him. Seems like such a chill and nice guy to have a beer with and just talk about life.
he's not gonna bum you
@@alfamonkmaybe a BJ? 😂

I'll be honest - I don't care.
And Matt is the uncle all the nieces and nephews want.
I have to say, Sam is such a fantastic addition to the shows. Love the timing for his comedy.
The timing of his comedy is always on point.
Is Sam Irish?☘️
@@podge5555No
The Seal in Australia is an absolute bargain and much cheaper than it is sold in the UK. I would buy one except for the fact its a sedan and I only ever buy hatchbacks. The Seal is much easier to get in and out of for an older person compared to the Model 3 but I miss the ease of entry/exit of my Model Y I had until recently. It was destroyed in an accident. I have a BYD Atto 3 and whilst smaller than the Tesla MY, is an incredible vehicle with a very impressive ride. Both of these vehicles have their merits and enjoyed both Matt and Sam having fun.
What about BYD Seal-U? Or a smaller one like BYD Dolphin?
@@spencer7404 Seal-U is plug in hybrid only in Australia
test drove seal two weeks ago. it was really good, but i am waiting for the sea lion to replace my volvo xc60!!! sadly, it is not coming to AU (yet).
@@ericc3359How about Seal U?
@@spencer7404 I m not interested in a hybrid.
You can disable the creeping using "Automatic Vehicle
Hold (AVH)". Page 8 of the manual. The switch should be to the left of the gear knob with a little "A" in a circle. It's also an option in the settings menu.
Now it's Tesla's turn - can it do that?
Please drag race the old model 3 and the refreshed model 3
The new "Long Range" is tuned for ...... (Can you guess?).... "Longer Range".
.
The clue is in the second graphic on the Website which tells you...
"Built for distance".
They have the same motor and battery. There won't be any difference
@@EwanM11 If old means Panasonic then no.
@@kleefton Tesla themselves have said the motors and battery are unchanged. Any range improvements are due to airflow and rolling resistance improvements, which won't impact acceleration where your calling on 300-400hp. Just rolling along draws about 20-30hp so small difference in resistance can add a lot of range.
he wont drag race it against a m3
There’s a button right next to the gear selector on the BYD Seal to turn on Auto Hold 🤦🏻♂️ So that it doesn’t start driving as soon as you lift off the brake.
Why do you need a botton for that, this is a onetime setting stored in your profile right? It's at least for me, one pedal driving for the win.
@@Maarten_vd I don’t like driving with it all the time. My car also has a button for it, and I’m glad it does 💁🏻♂️
2:53 there it is
@@madstlvig out of curiosity, when do you not like opd?
@@Maarten_vdOPD = cause for most accidents with EV. People smashing on accelerator thinking its a brake pedal. People lifting the pedal and think they car will brake enough to not hit the object infront. Just a really dumb thing to implement to try to change how we've been driving for the past 100+ years. Changing something that isn't broken is stupid.
The BYD does seem like a much nicer car to be in. It just doesn't look as bland inside and out.
Looks are like frosting on a cake. At times it is frosted card board.
I actually like the look of it ironically😅.
Nicer? Did you not hear all the noise inside the cabin? That screams poor build quality to me.
I used to be a valet driver for a very popular casino.
I loved the job. Drove lots of different vehicles across a wide range of ages..
MANY cars that are made to look pretty, are terrible interior quality.
2 brands that I love and love the look of their cars, but would never buy is Alfa Romeo and Maserati.
Interior build quality and craftsmanship were embarrassing.
BMWs and Mercedes seem to fall apart when the warrenty finishes.
This is what BYD feels like, but worse.
For what it's worth, Build Your Dreams is marketing bs.
Just look at their logo from 2003-2005.
Not the red one, that started in 2005.
Before that.
You will easily recognize who it's a copy of.
The name is also similar to the German logo, BM Double-U. BYD
I first learned of the BMW copy-cat back in 2003, 2004, from my business travels there and seeing their Toyota/Lexus copy-cats styles in person.
Still, today, I see the company as your typical, and very common Big Red counterfeiter for Rolex, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, but making cars.
I’m finding your lack of reverence most stimulating Matthew 🎉 and these comedic interludes with Race Car Samantha are most amusing……. do please continue ⭐️🇬🇧
It's shameful that they didn't know that Seal limited the maximum speed to protect battery life and safety, even though the batteries used in these two cars were the same BYD blade batteries
it's not
refresh model 3 comes from Berlin and uses CATL battery
@@MultiVfc Yes，is Tesla Model Y from Germany uses BYD battery
Cinese made RWD Tesla use the BYD battery.........not the AWD.
Yep, I think that's what I said. 👍
Both batteries are Chinese though. Cool
The sound the BYD makes when speeding is like the alarm on the old star trek movies.
😂😂 another great drag video, matt…looks like you guys have a great time doing these videos
The button to stop the Seal inching forward is not in the menus on the main screen, it is one of the dedicated buttons near the shift lever.
That Model 3 LR did not have the $2,000 boost upgrade. It doesn’t have 490 HP. Probably more like 425 HP or less. The Performance Model 3 makes right at 535 HP at the wheels but only if you preheat the battery to over 120 degrees F and have over 90% State of Charge. The LR isn’t affected by battery temperature like the Performance Model is.
The Highland doesnt have the boost option.
Yet
Sounds like half of that could be true.
Are we sure the new one doesn’t have acceleration boost?
How would you preheat the M3P, by selecting a charging point?
When are you going to review the Seal? Looking forward to it!
Good to see more competition between Tesla and BYD
You can keep the BYD stationary without the brake pedal by engaging the auto hold function via a centre console button.
If I had to buy an EV, I’d probably go for a byd just because their blade batteries are puncture proof (wouldn’t catch fire after getting punctured like normal batteries do)
BYD is not the only LFP battery. One would want to look at cold weather performance too. Batteries are a-changin.
@@JacobGuenther-jy8xn I could be wrong but I thought they were the ones who invented the blade batteries and are the only manufacturer using it. Tesla uses the batteries made by CATL, which is a great company but I’m still concerned about safety and repeatability when it comes to ev batteries.
Tesla doesn't make its battery, they source from Chinese manufacturers @@JacobGuenther-jy8xn
have you heard of Tesla's Supercharger network? It's a game changer if you own an EV
Blade batteries don’t catch fire? You take what the mainland chinese told you as facts? Lol i am chinese and i am fully aware that their nonsense blade batteries are just another LFP battery, which catches fire A LOT. Lots of videos on youtube.
Matt and Sam you guys had me cracking up the entire video, thanks a lot I love your work.
I like the giving the warning. That’s why 18 wheelers turn on the hazards to let you know we are slowly or stopping.
These Two Are Absolute Legends on the Channel!! Miss Seeing Nick and Yannis though
Anyone else sat there internally screaming "Jaguar!!!!" at the start of the video?
Lol I'm surprised too as it being a British brand
Jaguar is not a car model. VW Fox is though.
@@mentat1341 Fiat Panda then :P

I need more of this duo 😂😂😂 they make the videos 10X more interesting and funny
wrgg
You didn't set up the BYD Seal properly - so it's a flawed video. There's a Lap Timer mode on the instrument cluster; when I tested, it made a massive difference in the 0-60mph times - 4.3s down to 3.89s. I'm not sure why either, as it was never explained to us at the press event, but having done multiple launches with the option enabled and disabled, I can safely say it does make a difference; note, I use Racelogic Performance Box Touch with an external GPS unit to ensure accuracy (I didn't rely on the data shown via the BYD's instrument cluster).
Nonetheless, I'm glad my own tests of both vehicle's braking performance match. The Model 3 LR H really does struggle.
he even failed to notice the autohold button next to the gear selector.
@@davec110 yeah, honestly not sure how!
Love the addition of Sam to the team! It's been great seeing him get comfortable with being on camera and with Matt!
Is there an option to software acceleration boost the model 3 like in the previous version?
I have Tesla model3 2023. I have been driving since 35 years and the most thing I hate is driving but driving Tesla is absolutely different experience. I enjoy it every single time I drive and I get excited every time I drive it. I hate it when my wife take the Tesla and leave our combustion car for me as I feel forced to drive it. It no fun. Honestly, Tesla is a solid , reliable , and smooth car, and the fullself driving is insanely accurate and fun.
BYD Seal sells like crazy in my country.
The first affordable sedan with over 500 HP in my country we used to and still get taxed pretty badly on performance cars like these with engines in it.
I sat in the back with my dad on the Premium model with only 300 HP and it already felt quick even to sedated driver like him.
Nice to see that this car not only built my dream, then made it come true as well.
@@collller FYI, the model(BYD seal) we saw in this video is about 40k MSRP in china. Only the most basic hybrid model cost 23K, which is not comparable IMO.
@@collllermore like because the competition in China is too tough. Hyundai just sold one of their major factory in China because they can't compete
We a want a full review for the BYD seal please!
Can you take the limiters off these vehicles to get high top speeds or that’s just more software updates needed?
I actually think that the external speaker on the Tesla that can pipe the sound coming from inside the car can be a very useful feature.
Sam leaning forward to gain that inch for victory 😅
According to physics, he should lean backward.
@@ikotsus2448 IKR!
FIAT PANDA… there you go 😂 do I win a 911?
most anticipated race !
Great video interesting comparison of the two cars
The model 3 LR has 320kW of power. It’s limited by BMS. With Aceleration Boost up to 350kW.
The 366kW on papers it’s the sum of both motors, and they do not deliver maximum power at the same time.
If car journalists would understand what BMS means, your comment might be on top :-) The fact that a dyno is about the hardest way to measure power coming from electric motors is very hard to understand apparantly.
What’s 350 kw in normal terms?
Quite a few to words to just say that EVs suck ass.
@@dimitariliyanov3680how much gas did you buy in 2023?
@markmac707 Don't now, maybe 20k. Then again I drive a lot and I drive fast. Got places to be and a charging station ain't one.
I don’t think either Mat or Sam knows that The Lamborghini Murciélago is named after an animal. 😂 Murciélago means bat in Spanish.
It might mean a Bat, but Lamborghini names their cars after Spanish Fighting Bulls. Murciélago was a Navarra fighting bull.
I'm more disappointed at the fact that Jaguar wasn't mentioned
@@Kloud_GuruI think they probably had cars in mind that could complete a quarte mile... 😂
@@Kloud_Guru VW Rabbit anyone?
Pantera De Tomaso
The editors are amazing
The BYD is heavier because it has a larger battery pack...
So the range of the BYD is way larger, but due to the larger weight it will have lower acceleration.
Race 1 - 5:34
Race 2 - 8:05
Race 3 - 11:21
Race 4 - 13:01
Race 5 - 17:21
The dual motor only has 370 hp & 420 hp with the acceleration boost... the new performance highland has yet to be released
M3P would spank it
and the M3P will cost significantly more than the Seal.
@@Radaos 65k. my guess
9:19 lol😂😂😂 so true, with the British
Great competition! lol
One thing, from where is your accent? I've never heard that one before.
I'm a huge fan of racing driver Sam, but would love to see Yanny back every now and then
Yea he's back
The clunking isnt your suspension but the battery heating up and the coolant getting to temp. The metal casing is segmented to allow heat expansion. Under normal use the car would not do that unless charging.
You mean, the battery casing is popping like a Snapple bottle cap?
Maybe you would ve able to get all the Formentor variants in a drag race as they have so many now
Sam and Matt. If you could have any car in the world including classic cars what car would you have?
I get a feeling that every morning the first thing Matt does is 'pull a muscle'.
Seems like that vibe is very nice.
with the long range you can buy the acceleration booster which brings the 0-60 from 4.2 to 3.7 seconds. Definitely worth it, I have it myself!
BYD SEAL with 3.7 0 to 60 time can also easily rivalled some supercars like the Ferrari F40.
I have seen the Seal post 3.6s (100kmh) in some of the reviews (with timing equiptment)
I would also like to see the BYD timed on proper tyres..........it comes supplied on Continental Eco tyres.
my 2019 accel boost runs 3.4 s 11.68 quarter mile
My 2020 M3P runs 2.91 at 95% SOC. Crazy fast 1/4 at 11.28
Is the acceleration boost available for a 2023 Model 3 long range
Lamborghini murcielago is named after an animal. Murcielago means bat in Spanish
The clunk while breaking might be the outer tie rod/control arm shaking.
They forgot about the Suzuki Swift for the singer bit 😂
And an animal!

Stretching the content really hit in this video
Where are you getting those horsepower numbers for the Tesla?? Those were the approximate numbers of the previous performance edition.
Those weird hockey-stick door handles on the Tesla Model 3 and Y are actually pretty clever. The secret is using one's right hand to open doors on the right side of the car, and the left hand for doors on the left side.
That was a fun comparison. The BYD looks pretty good, I must say! It would be nice to have these in North America
You don’t want it. every reviewer says the BYD feels cheap, lacks in performance, annoys the hell out of you with chimes and would be a regrettable purchase in comparison to the Model 3. There are a ton of videos out there.
@@LloydM Not true. It's a FAR superior car and I'm not even Chinese. There isn't a single new car on sale right now that feels cheaper than a Tesla.

I’d be very interested to see if the Tesla really can achieve 420 miles of range, carwow need to do one of them drive it till it dies test
Isn’t the model 3 the most efficient EV of anything you can buy?
You can make it do 420.. you can make it do more.. but the reality is, if you drive like you have a heartbeat, you won’t get all that range.. the tests for range are done like some little old grandma is driving. Anything more spirited than that, is gonna lead to a reduction in actual range
@@aussie2uGA no
@GamingTrivia1113 Yes. It's the most efficient. Please do find one that does more KM's per kW/h or shut up man.
Remember boys, this figure is not "made up" by Tesla. Its the figure Tesla received from the government agency that determines the WLTP / EPA score after putting the car to their standardized 'test'.
So if this figure does not reflect the range you can achieve, blame the test procedure, not Tesla.
Tesla is obligated to use that figure. Just like all other car manufacturers.
Mat, did yo forget about the Hillmann Singer?
Byd's steering wheel shakes, Tesla's doesn't

I don't know about Seal, or if someone has answered 2,000 comments earlier, but my Atto3 has a centre console button to toggle between creep and stop at lights. It is an 'A' inside an 'O' on the left side. You can't find it on the big screen.
Both batteries are made from BYD, i Think... the only matter is the motor used
I believe if tested at an official dfrag strip, the timing system would determine the winner between these two cars. Not to know so much which car crossed the line first, but the actual ET and mph for the complete factual stats. The 2nd and 3rd drag races were so incredibly close, I slowed down the playback speed all the way and watched each race a few times.
And what was your conclusion?
Cars with eco or any reduced power driving mode should give the driver the full beans when floored to get you out of trouble. Like a kickdown on a normal automatic ice car.
Can you change the power of the regen braking in the Tesla? Doesn't seem so.
490hp sounds high for the Tesla, I know pre refresh they were close to 400, 450 with the acceleration boost add on
exactly, and using the same numbers
With acceleration boost max HP is 510HP (373KW)
But the accelaration booster is avaible on the new highland? I have the long range and it says its 351 hp…
@@JuanAlvarez-ix4th Not sure for the highland...
It's a Highland in the video. Long passed the "refreshes".
Matt wanted to do everything in this race except racing 😂😂
Yep. Like Jump Starts. Matt has been excellent on jumpstarting in almost all of the Carwow drag races so far.😅
Looks like the BYD has different gearing that allows it to launch better with more of a speed limit.
gearing isn't a thing on EVs - unless you consider wheel size as gearing, which it kind of is
telsa leave a little performance on the table (eg ludicrous mode), probably a compromise between performance/efficiency/wear
if highland get a speed boost option - which is likely, it will absolutely smoke the seal
the seal on the other hand is likely programmed to perform at it's absolute limit with zero concern for efficiency, wear, longevity, etc
Model 3 LR is 407 WHP at 100% soc on a dyno. This is the best info I could find.
I love all the attempts to make the races exciting.
One little tidbit that isn't mentioned that is significant is that the BYD costs 26k in China! A whopping 40% cheaper. makes all the difference
BYD is part, some say majority, owned by chinese government or it's agencies. Look at long term export prices if you want a fair price comparison.
@@danharold3087It is not, that's just dumb western propaganda. BYD is the most vertically integrated company on earth and has/makes everything from mines to auto glass to chipsets to batteries and battery tech, that's why they can keep the cost low.
If you’re in China that’s awesome. What makes it so cheap though?
Model 3 is much cheaper in China as well
China is much better
Model 3 Lr Highland has 395hp! According to Tesla Chief-Ingenieur (was in Jay Lenos Garage).
If the Acceleration Boost will be accessible it will have around 490hp.
Is that woman that starts the races at Tesla every time her only job? She is on every drag race video at the tesla drag track from multiple CZcamsrs. I hope you all are giving her a good tip.
