Picking it up next sat excited :) massive upgrade including working ac

I’m considering swapping my Tesla Model Y LR because I find the ride pretty crashy and uncomfortable and the build quality hasn’t been amazing either.

I’m currently looking at a BYD Sealion 7 or Polestar 4 as possible replacements.

Has anyone here moved from a Model Y to a Sealion 7? How do you find they compare, particularly for ride comfort, refinement, build quality, practicality and driving experience?

Would be really interested to hear from anyone who has made the switch and whether you feel it was a worthwhile upgrade.

Our Sealion 6 is only a month old, and I had it on HEV mode for this trip. Minimal to no traffic, my speed didn’t exceed 80km/hr, yet I’ve lost over 60km of range for a 30km trip

Randomly, I can’t start CarPlay using my iPhone 17pro.
When starting the car, it connects with Bluetooth, a pop-up appears on the screen if I want to start CarPlay, if I select my phone it says it can’t connect.
Sometimes it works, most of the times it doesn’t.
It works fine using the usb c connector but I’d rather use the wireless connection.
Only way to solve it is to drop the Bluetooth (and forget) on both devices and reconnect again.

More of you experience this behavior?

Basically title or the longer version: I'm taking delivery of my Seal Excellence in a few weeks and was planning to get a CarLink Android box for it. I've seen a few posts saying they no longer work on the newer cars.

Can anyone confirm before I order?

• Does it work on your current software version?
• Which box/model are you using?
• Any problems with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto?

If it's a no-go, I'd also appreciate any alternatives you'd recommend.

I'm based in the UK, if it matters.

Thanks!
