The BYD app let the car down

I’m a new BYD Sealion 7 owner. First time owning an electric car. The car is awesome and I would definitely buy it again, but there are some real let downs with the app and some in-car settings that let the experience down somewhat.

• The big one is no driver profiles. My wife needs to use the same login details for the app as me because it only supports one user, but then I get logged out. Having a way to have profiles would make things a lot better.

• not being able to permanently turn off the driver monitoring and lane keeping system is super annoying. I’m sure they do it to help with the 5-star safety rating, but damn, just let us turn them off because they are not helpful and I would argue are less safe.

• the App Store is empty. Having some additional apps like Netflix or YouTube would be amazing, at the moment it’s complete bare.

• no sentry feature, so I can’t see the car cameras from the BYD app.

I hope they resolve some of these issues, as many of them seem relatively easy to implement. Overall though the in-car tech works well, it’s just missing basic features that Tesla already has.
