How China's BYD Overtook Tesla

Ken Griffin says it's heartbreaking to see BYD overtaking TELSA. On the contrary, I think it is a great development. We in South East Asia need companies like BYD. This commentator says nothing about the Chinese government's help attended from the Very URGENT need to address the air pollution and same storms descending on Peking and elsewhere. He has rightly added that TELSA also gets Chinese government's support, but TELSA is selling at higher prices to earn more profit, to helping China to lower air pollution. We benefited from BYD.

They will be the shortest lived Kings in history, these cars are not at all practical except maybe to do short shopping trips. Too many problems with them, long charging times compared to ICE vehicles, low battery capacity in very cold weather, Fire hazard in that if they ignite the fire is very difficult to extinguish compared to petroleum or diesel fire. Very few charging points around still. They actually do very little to curve pollution, it's just a case of out of sight out of mind.

Well there goes the pipedream of Tesla taking over the automotive world.

The other reason BYD beat Tesla is - looks.
If you want to drive around in a jello mould, buy a Tesla, they ALL look the same, horrible looking cars.
Every EV maker has overtaken Tesla in design and technology.
We have an excellent choice of cars to choose from. The US car market is quite small and limited. Many vehicle manufacturers dont even bother selling in the US..

Safety is most important. Cheap doesnt mean much if not safe

BYD : A flaming coffin 😂
If you don't love your life, buy BYD 😅
BYD has a very bad reputation in EV ! If you don't know, do your research first before buying.

They need to change that slogan hahaha we all know who they are already, they're the biggest electric car company right now😂😂

yet another marxist W

US government bailout of General Motors and Chrysler back in 2009. And now the US Treasury has come up with some final numbers. Earlier estimates from the Treasury predicted a loss of about $44 billion. That number was revised again in 2009 to $30 billion.

Hoping the new Trump administration coming will support Tesla. Just like BYD has gotten Chinese government support and why it has been successful in China.

CCP subsidizes BYD…hello.

As a person living in Europe myself I think it’s shameful that Europe is trying to stop Chinese EVs. Here the ID.3, 4 and 5 are way too overpriced for what they are and while Teslas are priced relatively well, they’re still more expensive than BYD vehicles here. European manufacturers have always been overpriced in my opinion.

mark my words, Huawei will be another successful EV maker in short time.

Exploding batteries anyone????

The only reason BYD is "successful" Its because its bankroll is the Chinese government and over 90% of their vehicles are sold to china and government controlled businesses there.

Hopefully their batteries don't start exploding.

BYD is one of the best selling electric cars in Nepal as well.

NIO failed, BYD will also most likely fail

China is selling Electric Cars by force not by choice, Electric battery technology is still not developed to the point its feasible to be put into cars, there are lot of shortcomings be it Tesla or BYD, hyrogen fuel cells is the future EVs are just a stop gap 😁😁

Any EV company that can lower down the cost for average consumer to buy is fine by me, regardless of which country.

BYD == Big Yellow Dog car!

I would suggest use battery made up of mixture of metals if we mix two metals like iron and copper it can be used as battery it holds charge and can be charged as well what you have to do is mix two metals like iron and copper after that use iron as anode in top of the battery and copper as cathod or vise versa it can be charged also by how you charge a battery

not secure

At anytime Chine can disable all Chinese made EV's.

Wenn VW 70% vertikale Integration hätte, wären die Fahrzeuge noch teurer, da VW deutlich höhere Gehälter zahlt als die Zulieferer und ineffizienter entwickelt. Das Geheimnis von BYD liegt vor allem in den staatlichen Subventionen und der hemmungslosen Ideen- und Know-How-Übernahme. Aber zugegeben: auf der Basis kommen jetzt gute Autos, die zunehmend auch mit eigenen Ideen und Know-How glänzen. VW hat seinen Gewinn viele Jahre weit überwiegend in China eingefahren. Das scheint jetzt vorbei zu sein.

Tofu-dreg EV

How China's BYD overtook US Tesla.

BYD literally can't beat Tesla , why ?
Because as soon as 2025 BYD will be Ban from selling their Cars in the West ... for safety reasons of course 😏😏

EVs is a Fad that won't exist in 10 years !

In my country, even the base model tesla 3 is extremely expensive and is regarded as a status symbol but byd is has become a common sight on the road. In emerging markets with demand for electric vehicles, byd has come ahead of tesla.

Cheaper BYDs are not comparable cars to Tesla. It’s quite misleading to say that it already overtook Tesla

Remember Huawei when they became the no.1 mobile manufacturer. They suddenly found their devices are accused to be loaded with spywares.. Soon BYD will be found to be equipped with Spywares on wheels and will find themselves being sanctioned worldwide. 😅

I wish for VW IDBuz with Byd pricing

we have had BYD in sweden for like 2 years and mg for like 4 years so we know those Chinese brands

Just because you sell a few more it does not make you the best….

We've never seen the kind of Govenment support China has extended (to an industry to subsidize it and undermine foreign competitors). Sure you have; TikTok.

US is the first country developed EV.  To understand the success of China's EV, I would suggest focusing on how EVs were killed in the US. "Who Killed the Electric Car?" This is the video I borrowed from a public library. It documented the rise of EVs in the US, produced by seven manufacturers, including Toyota, Honda, and Nissan. The outperformed EVs were applauded by the leasehold owners.  Unfortunately, even against their will, all the EVs will be sent to disassemble.

The real story behind this is actually a lot of fake numbers out of china of selling cars to rot in a lot so they can boost sales. Just look up "China is Throwing Away Fields of Electric Cars"

EV car will be scrap after 5 to 10 year because battery life will be over. USD20k to replace.

🤮🤮🤮

Made in China and own by China too

BYD is like Maruti In India.. Maruti sells largest number of vehicles in India not because they super safe or premium, comfortable etc. Maruti is selling Maximum number of vehicles because its cheap and fuel efficient.. Elon Musk is right in terms of positioning Tesla as lifestyle product because it has better margins in long term.. Its like comparing Maruti with Mercedes or iPhone with Android.. Tesla is the Mercedes of EV's and BYD is Maruti .. Conclusion BYD may sell more cars then Tesla but aspiration customers with real money will always go for TESLA.. So relax Tesla is very well positioned.

I feel BYD will be the next victim on U.S national security BLACK LIST LOL

Fake data

I know what media wants to tell us: 1. If a chinese company successes -> It's goverment's support. 2. If a chinese company fails -> It's goverment's fault. Tell me, doesn't any other goverment's support any local companies?

US is now cancel EVs 😂

Elon Musk is a thief and a liar. He has stolen from me after lying to the world. Until he returns what he has stolen from me it appears he's going to lose a million dollars for every penny he has stolen from me and who knows how many others. Musk's crime is the hubris to believe he can openly lie and steal and nothing can be done about it. He's now finding out as ye sow so shall ye reap is a REAL law that governs even the richest man alive. Until he rights his wrongs and apologizes, this curse brought on by his own ignorance will continue to bite him in his posterior...HARD, over and over again.

the most explosive car brand you've ever heard of
