I genuinely don’t understand what this person was trying to accomplish.

The original claim was “Bill Gates has zero to do with Beyond Meat.” I corrected it because Bill Gates was publicly associated with Beyond Meat for years as an early investor. That information was easily verifiable through old articles, interviews, and public records.

But instead of simply correcting the statement, the response turned into:

- calling me “clueless”

- accusing me of manipulation and FUD

- calling me a “short” and a “bear”

- moving the goalposts to “okay but that was years ago”

- then quietly deleting the comments afterward

That’s what concerns me more than the stock debate itself.

This is a Top 1% Poster in the community. If someone with influence can confidently spread objectively false information, gaslight others after being corrected, accuse them of manipulation, then erase the comments afterward, how is that healthy for an investing subreddit?

I was never even debating the company valuation. The correction was simply that “zero involvement” was factually wrong.

Shouldn’t factual accuracy matter here? And shouldn’t repeatedly spreading misinformation while accusing others of FUD be taken seriously?

Took a screenshot of this because now I’m confused. I remember from way back when Beyond Meat first got popular, Bill Gates was already heavily associated with it, along with Leonardo DiCaprio. That was literally part of the discussion around the company back then.

Then I double-checked again on Google and even ChatGPT, and both are still saying Bill Gates invested in Beyond Meat before. But this guy is saying otherwise and claiming Bill Gates had zero connection to it.

So now I’m wondering if I’m mixing things up with another company or if this guy is just confidently wrong.

For context, my compressor was replaced under warranty due to abnormally loud and scratchy noise. This new video is the sound of the newly replaced compressor, which sounds much smoother compared to before.

Sharing this in case future BYD Sealion 6 owners search for compressor noise, aircon problems, loud whining sound, or common faults.

Initially, I thought the noise was normal. The unit still cooled properly, so I assumed it was just how the system sounded. But after someone pointed it out, I compared it with two other Sealion 6 units and one BYD Shark, and all of them were significantly quieter.

That’s when I realized mine was not normal.

The compressor was especially loud under extreme heat and direct sun, with a noticeable whining sound like it was working too hard. Cooling still worked, but the noise was embarrassing for an EV.

I reported it during my second PMS and kept following up with the Philippine dealership.

Timeline:

• Around 2 months waiting for warranty approval/processing
• Around another 2 months waiting for parts to arrive
• Installation itself was completed in just 1 day

The compressor has now been replaced, and so far, so good.

Posting this for search visibility and awareness for anyone researching BYD Sealion 6 issues, aircon noise, compressor problems, reliability, warranty experience, or long-term ownership concerns.
