Kinda insane the Sealion 7 does 520km with a 91kwh battery while the Model Y does 488km with a 62kwh battery. 29kwh bigger battery but only 32km more range. But that being said a bigger battery is good for blasting the aircon. 

Tesla forces drivers to accelerate and decelerate gradually cos of their one pedal drive. Of cos efficient lar. This OPD is the deal breaker when I was considering tesla.

That's just one factor, the weight and aerodynamics contribute alot to efficiency as well.

@parkson Sealion 7 82 kwh battery also can go 520 KM with a light foot.

Kinda interesting, seems like Sealion 7 is not being sold in domestically in China anymore due to heavy competition. They are focusing solely on export markets now with higher margin.

Older technology, cannot compete in China liao. And even when it was new there, it never sold well.

No fridge, no massage seat, no second screen for pax to watch bilibili, no lie flat chairs, no smlj star pattern LED roof, no recognise your face to open door, cannot summon car, no gimmicks. I think ironically, the very same 'slightly old school' nature of this car which appeals internationally is a liability in China.
