BYD Atto1 November 1 orders open. This is not a fact, it is my prediction. I must will it into existence.

Decisions decisions… Essential or Premium… hmm.. wait and see about pricing I guess. BYD Global Atto 1

Dimensionally, the BYD Atto 1 is larger than the 5 door VW UP! and I'm ok with that. Below comparison provided by Grok. Thank you Grok .

Is it correct the base AU BYD Atto 1 will not have active cooling for the battery pack while the larger battery higher spec will have active battery cooling?

Rainy day in Melbourne. Discovered a small leak in the garden shed. Promptly plugged with a screw and butyl rubber sound deadening off cut. Happy days.

Proudest thing achieved this long weekend is unclogging this bastard box gutter. Cyclone brand gutter cleaning tool came in absolute clutch to get into the narrow gap and push all the mud and leaves around. Overcame my fear of falling through the roof to access the gutter. 💪

So pricing for the ATTO 1 in New Zealand has been released. $29,990+ORC NZD for the Essential and $35,990+ORC NZD for the Premium. That converts to approx. $26k AUD and $31k AUD respectively. Sharp pricing, if the Premium can slip under $30k AUD ($29,990) it’ll be a real winner.

Time to get a new set of tyres for my spare set of Model Y wheels. This time it’s the Continental eContact 255/45/R19. I liked them on my Model S and they should do great on the Model Y.

Breaking news down under! BYD Atto 1 and 2 pricing confirmed! ATTO 1 Essential $23,990 plus ORC ATTO 1 Premium $27,990 plus ORC ATTO 2 Dynamic $31,990 plus ORC ATTO 2 Premium$35,990 plus ORC Bargain!

Will I test drive the Atto 1 when it’s in showrooms? Heck yes! Will I buy one straight away? Nope. Happy to wait for deals and offers and maybe even a lightly used/demo unit.
