BYD overtook Tesla to become the world’s biggest electric car company in the final quarter of 2023.
China’s BYD is selling more electric cars than Tesla::BYD overtook Tesla to become the world’s biggest electric car company in the final quarter of 2023.
The thing that sucks is I’d love to own one of those older NetaV since it is still far better than my Nissan leaf. The US unfortunately has regressive tariffs on vehicles… I’m really not sure what they are trying to protect here. They simply don’t build enough electric vehicles.
BYD is selling where I live now in Southeast Asia. And I’ve also been to China many times and been inside BYD vehicles.
While they are economically built, the quality seems pretty good considering the price point. They’re being used as taxis all over Shenzhen and many other cities where I’m sure they’re racking up hundreds of millions of kilometers of fleet mileage, potentially giving them a lot of data to work with.
Honestly I think the Chinese are going to be very strong contenders against American built electric vehicles, which is going to ruffle a lot of feathers.
I love how they take a more conservative approach than Tesla with their technology. If I had freedom of choice I’d be buying a BYD over a Tesla because they are like the Toyota of electric vehicles. They focus more on the vehicle being a vehicle than all the high tech bloat.

Every time i see BYD, I get excited at prospects at ‘bringing your own device’ and then I realize I can’t read, once again.
Maybe one day…

What the fuck does this even mean?

Are they giving them away? If so, tell me where so I can get one.

On the other hand China has more people than US and Europe and US combined. Yes, that US twice plus Europe and then some.
I started seeing them in Sydney, like 3 months ago but suddenly they’re everywhere and a store opened down the road from me.
And every time I see the name my brain pronounces BYD as “buy” with a “d” on the end and makes a stupid pun about purchasing one.
Is “buying D” illegal in Sydney?
