BYD's Biggest DISASTER Across Australia — Nobody Saw This Coming!

0:00 The real problem behind BYD’s success 2:30 How BYD rose to second place in Australia 4:59 The repair network struggling to keep up 7:14 Insurance costs and the risk of expensive repairs 10:28 12-volt batteries, driver assistance and recalls 14:45 Tax changes and the long-term ownership question 18:50 What owners and buyers should do 20:38 The honest verdict on buying a BYD I look at the part of BYD ownership that rarely gets discussed: what happens after a crash, when parts, trained technicians, repairers and insurers all have to work together. I examine BYD's rapid rise in Australia, owner reports about parts delays and service access, insurance costs, battery repairs, recalls, warranty coverage and the challenges facing independent workshops. I also cover the tax changes affecting electric cars and plug-in hybrids. I finish with practical checks for current and prospective owners, including the question I believe you should ask your insurer before signing for a BYD. The aim is simple: buy with your eyes open, not just because the showroom numbers look good.
