I drove BYD's Seal electric car and Elon Musk may be grateful you can't buy one in the US


I test drove the BYD Seal for a week and was impressed with the stylish electric car. Its features make it a rival for Elon Musk's Tesla Model 3.

BI I'd barely made it a mile up the road from my house in South London when a driver in a Porsche SUV pulled up alongside me and started gesticulating wildly. BI The Seal has upmarket touches like leather trim, and a plethora of clever features such as a driver's seat that goes back a few inches automatically when you open the door. The 12-speaker sound system is superb and I very much enjoyed the soundtrack to my journey, which included Pet Shop Boys' seminal 1990 album "Behaviour," Taylor Swift's "Midnights," and the very fun "Last Man Dancing" from former Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears — all streamed from Spotify on my iPhone.
