'Any car company that’s not paying attention to them as a competitor is going to be lost when they hit their market. BYD’s entry into the U.S. market isn’t an if. It's a when....'

The car, launched last year by Chinese automaker BYD, sells for around $12,000 in China, but drives well and is put together with craftsmanship that rivals U.S.-made electric vehicles that cost three times as much. A shorter-range version costs under $10,000.

With very few exceptions, anyone buying an EV needs to have their head examined.

But anyone buying an EV from Communist China is a blithering idiot.

Captain Yugo says history repeats itself. As does Vice Admiral Peugeot, driving his “Le Car”.

Who will the unions blame? Themselves or all the ridiculous regulations from government?

BYD sucks as an electric vehicle company. I don’t think they’ve had a single successful city bus roll-out. Maybe if you count the graft and corruption and taxpayer money sent to China for the buses, they’re overwhelming successful. But actually having a vehicle that can perform as advertised? Nope.

Not unlimited mileage but it does have a tail light guarantee. which expires when the tail lights disappear from the dealers sight.

Perhaps they could park it next to their old Yugo.

Let’s see if they can build ones that meet US safety standards at $12K. Probably not.
