Brisbane to Sunshine Coast Hinterland & Noosa (420 km) Weekend Beach & V2L Picnic in BYD Atto 3

Took our Forest Green BYD Atto 3 up to Noosa National Park and Kenilworth in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland for the weekend.

On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details

Parked at Noosa Woods picnic area, plugged our portable Nespresso machine and air fryer into the V2L strip in the boot, and made hot chips and iced lattes right after surfing at Tea Tree Bay!

Running an air fryer and Nespresso machine at Noosa Woods after a surf session is next-level!

@grace_sco_81 Every time we pull out the V2L powerboard at a beach park, three people walk over to ask how the car is running a 240V appliance.

@Ava_N_Ute Forest Green is such a rare and classy colour on the Atto 3 too!

Interesting point about the charging curve. I found that plugging in around 15–18% SOC gives the fastest sustained peak kW before the BMS gently tapers above 80%.

Subscribed to this thread. Has anyone here compared this behaviour before and after the latest DiLink OTA firmware update? Mine felt noticeably smoother in low-speed traffic afterwards.

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Tested these exact settings on my weekend highway run and cabin NVH + efficiency were spot on.

I ran the exact same test last month on a rainy weekend trip. Regen braking in High mode remained super predictable, and the LFP pack voltage delta stayed under 12 mV on my OBD2 scanner.

Spot on breakdown. One detail I noticed after logging another 2,500 km is that the thermal management loop stays completely silent below 32°C ambient unless you chain two fast DC sessions back-to-back.
