Tesla's Model 3 is concerned about the forthcoming BYD Seal EV.

With the introduction of the BYD Seal becoming one of the most competitive electric vehicles on the market,

its affordable starting price, rapid acceleration, a maximum range of 605 kilometres, air suspension, blind spot recognition, and automatic parking.

Although it is substantially more expensive,

the Model 3's range, which can go up to 620 kilometres, is just marginally longer.

Even if the Seal lacks some of the safety features that the Tesla has, customers may be tempted to it because of its substantially lower price.

It looks that a different automaker has finally started to challenge Tesla in the EV industry.
