BYD has announced the Pre-Orders of the Sealion 6 Essential, which evidentially replaces the Dynamic model, and with the added benefit of it being $3,000 cheaper than the dynamic model, which is an added (but unsurprising) bonus considering the current [EV Price Wars](https://www.carexplore.com.au/australian-consumers-reap-benefits-of-2023-2024-ev-price-war-and-import-incentives/) in the current market, whilst the automotive insiders patiently await news surrounding the whispers of potentially four new EV models entering the Australian Automotive market in the next 12-months.

It is expected that the pre-orders for the Sealion 6 will be a little less chaotic, considering the [BYD Shark 6 delays](https://www.carexplore.com.au/byd-shark-6-deliveries-begin-in-australia-amid-port-delays/) due to industrial action at the ports, of which pre-orders for the Shark 6 have been delayed significantly in Sydney and Melbourne, with an added twist of Queensland that was first to receive their pre-ordered vehicles.
