Tesla Model 3 vs BYD Seal: The ultimate electric saloon showdown!

Tesla or BYD—who actually makes the best electric car? In 2026, the BYD Seal has established itself as the biggest threat to the Tesla Model 3’s throne. We’re putting the refreshed "Highland" Model 3 up against the sleek BYD Seal to see if Tesla's minimalism has gone too far, or if BYD’s "Blade Battery" tech and traditional stalks make it the smarter choice.

From the controversial button-only steering wheel in the Tesla to the rotating 15-inch screen in the BYD, we’re testing every feature that matters. We’ll look at real-world range, charging speeds, and why Tesla eventually had to offer a retrofit to bring back the very stalks they removed. Is the pioneer still the king, or has the challenger finally won?
