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…
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.
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?
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 distinctly recall a recent video from Serpentza showing swathes of BYD electric cars “recalled” or “abandoned”, don’t remember which, mostly due to battery concerns. Can’t look it up right now
“selling”
CNN is shilling for the CCP.
Are they giving them away? If so, tell me where so I can get one.
They’re roting in fields in China. The story broke last year. They’re lying about actually selling the cars.
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.
What the fuck does this even mean?
It’s all fake! They’re not truly selling more.
CCP pays huge subsidies to the company to produce electric cars… Enough to cover the cost of manufacturing. They can’t sell them because there’s too many, they’re too expensive, unreliable, and unusable in many parts of the country. So the company “sells” them to fake buyers, then dumps the cars. There are thousands and thousands of new electric cars roting in rural fields in China. The scandal broke last year. Some whistle blowers provided some documented proof and a bunch of photos and videos of vast fields of new electric cars that we’d consider EPA super fund eligible sites due to the chemicals leeching from the roting cars.
