    BYD is at least legit huge and expanding, because China is a huge market in itself and they are expanding to western markets.Tesla is (over)valutated based on hype, promises that never get delivered and straight up bullshit.

    Though BYD needs to do something with their interiors. If that flies in China, it absolutely won’t in Europe. All touch filled with gimmicks and gizmos is not that cool.

    Most electrics I see are small BYD sedans, followed by GWM. There was essentially no market for electrics before those, and even hybrids were rare.

    Elon Musk’s automaker has been backsliding in China for the past five consecutive months on a year-on-year basis, according to data from the country’s Passenger Car Association. Tesla’s shipments plunged 49% in February from a year earlier to just 30,688 vehicles, the lowest monthly figure since way back in July 2022, when it shipped just 28,217 EVs — and that was in the middle of Covid.
