People used to make fun of those little death boxes they called Toyota in the 1980s and now the Toyota Camry is the best selling car in the USA. Look at the image those are not econo boxes those are SUVs and full sized sedans that are solid as a rock. We had a BYD the last time I was in Shanghai it was a near bolt for bolt clone of a 5 series BMW, rock solid and horsepower for days. There was L2 charges everywhere, every valet parking would charge it and fast DC was also everywhere. Don’t underestimate China they are going to dominate the world car market just like the Japanese did last century. Their economics of scale means they can make a sedan for one half of a third the labor and materials cost. Volvo is already a Chinese car and they are $65,000+ cars. I like Tesla better but the BYD was impressive it is solidly build and has the Blade cells that can pass the one foot long steel nail through the pack test and not burn. With LFP cells now and sodium cells coming BYD is going to smash all legacy makers in the international market only tariffs will.keep them.from bankrupting the big three here.
