So I imagine the majority of their buses sold in the US in the near future will be built there. Of course that's a small proportion of the number of buses they sell in China...
- stephengillie 9y agoThat's some good capacity, comparable to the Tesla model 3. What's their secret to success?
- janekm 9y agoWell, to be fair that's the theoretical capacity. But if I'm being snarky, BYD considers employing American workers a feature (helps selling buses to the state), while Elon considers it a bug.
