Motor Trend was able to review it (in Mexico):

Access Denied

"The BYD Seal will bring the automaker to a different level once customers around the world can get their hands on it. For the first time, a Chinese automaker is battling established nameplates with a quality product that seems poised to take buyers away from them. While we need to compare the BYD Seal and Tesla Model 3 back to back on the same road surfaces to find out which one is best, we can say the Seal is going to give the Model 3 a run for its money."

Very good car for the price, but 300k more gets you a Lexus IS300h. Which is definitely slower and smaller but from a far more trustworthy brand.

Good price for the car.

its meant to compete with the Upcoming Official release of the Tesla Models 3.
With estimated price of the RWD model 3 to be around 2.3M while the AWD Long range model will be around 2.5-2.6M
as for the Performance model 3 with a sub 3M price tag. The Seal definitely undercuts the Tesla models when it arrives here.

I agree. The PIMS local unveiling is in anticipation of the impending Tesla Model 3 release next year (MIAS, perhaps?).
