I thought that charging a Tesla with its 10 amp power cable would be a simple task for a BYD that can deliver 10 amps out of a standard power point. It seems I thought wrong.
This is most probably an issue with earth. The Tesla would probably see this as an earth fault because (maybe, I haven't checked) there isn't an MEN between the neutral and earth.
The tesla is probably measuring the resistance between its input E-N, and that small burst of current is freaking out the Seal as it things it is an E-N fault
They are not friends, they will not exchange anything between each other, just be careful, when you go to sleep the doors will fly open and hit each other.
2 things. Make a lead (mini extension cord) with the Neutral and Earth bonded. Secondly keep a small load of like 100W on the BYD to stop the inverter going to sleep.
The BYD might have protection to avoid powering into damaged loads, like a short circuit. The Tesla could be doing weird things to guess the power available from the supply and that is triggering the BYD safety systems. Maybe try with a "dumb" load, like a heater or a toaster or a hair dryer.
I successfully charged my 2012 Leaf from my Atto 3 with my MIDA brand evse set at 6A. Took a couple of attempts and I don't remember what sequence worked. But the BYD EVSE would not do it.
Just to add to the comments, I tried a 15A V2L adapter with a charger plug for the MG4. The charger showed a fault light. The Seal didn’t even get to report that there was power being drawn.
Great video. I've learn alot from your videos. I wanna ask you as the owner of Tesla S and BYD Seal. Which car you find it more entertaining to drive? But I've seen Atto3 able to charge another EV car but havent seen charging to Tesla.

Paul looking sharp like the guy who comes over to take your mom on a date and slips you $100 to not be home when they get back
I just checked between neutral and earth on the BYD adapter, and it's open circuit, so no MEN.
Grounding issue? 🤔

Probably a tall story from BYD, attach a space heater
Just use jumper leads lol
Hi Paul
You have 2 EVs. Which one do you use for long road trips?
He don't want to charge a Tesla 😂

Pretty sure there's a grounding trick you need to do for the tesla
Not a stupid test mate - this would be a legitimate use as nore EV owners run out of juice.

Plug in the dryer and the microwave.....
Modern day jumper cable
