Nobody is buying these. China is in an economic death spiral and this number is hilariously inflated.

Are you paid by the CCP? Your posts tend to be focused on foreign countries.

RE: Are you paid by the CCP?

Posting an article now equates to being paid by the CCP? How does your logic work?

Your posts tend to be focused on foreign countries.

NOPE. My Posts are diverse. You probably haven’t seen my other posts.

Maybe not in the states, but I’ve test driven one in Europe, and they make up for the e car driving experience with all the extra features. The BYD “feels” luxurious and like you’ve stepped into the future.
My son in law has a Tesla, which is a fine e-car, nicely finished but super simple interior, similar to a Porsche... but the Porsche feels like you’re driving something powerful and the Tesla does not. So it will come down to features, but don’t discount the BYD cars.

I’ve seen these cars in Japan, Indonesia, and ithe parts of Asia as well as popping up in Europe. They definitely are selling, but as the article says, they aren’t targeting the USA yet

Have you been to China? There are BYD cars everywhere.

Musk on BYD...

“Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday warned that Chinese automakers will “demolish” their global competition without tariffs or other trade barriers.

His comments come after Chinese electric car company BYD, which makes cheaper cars and is backed by Berkshire-Hathaway, surpassed Tesla as the top-selling EV company last quarter.

Chinese automakers were the “most competitive” and “will have significant success outside of China, depending on what kind of tariffs or trade barriers are established,” Musk told investors on a post-earnings call on Wednesday.

“If there are no trade barriers established, they will pretty much demolish most other car companies in the world,” he said. “They’re extremely good.””

I’m sure these cars have all sort of spying and surveillance equipment that’s sent CCP data centers. There’s probably a kill switch that CCP can turn on and used to deactivate the engine or the driver.
