2022 BYD ATTO 3 AUSTRALIA SERVICING SCHEDULE AND WARRANTY UPDATE Q3

EV Channels Review

The video addresses significant concerns raised by Australian BYD Atto 3 customers regarding its servicing schedule and warranty terms. While BYD initially quoted a 7-year warranty, the updated terms specify 8 years/160,000 km for the battery and drive unit, and 6 years/150,000 km for the vehicle, with shorter periods for components like the multimedia system (3 years/60,000 km). The servicing schedule, with alternating minor and major services every 12 months/20,000 km, has drawn criticism for its perceived high cost, estimated at around $3,100 over 8 years, leading a majority of viewers in a poll to consider cancelling their orders. Hosts and guests discuss the timing of this information release, the comparison to other EV manufacturers like Tesla (which has no fixed schedule), and the implications for consumer law. Despite the initial shock and negative sentiment, some guests suggest that the costs might be manageable long-term and that the extensive service network is a positive aspect.
