BYD isn't even available in all markets Tesla is. For it to surpass Tesla globally without selling to US buyers is nothing to shake a stick at.

- adventured 3y agoYou can't sell dangerous $10,000 EVs in affluent markets in Europe, North America, Japan, etc. Fairly strict build & safety regulations prevent that.
- reisse 3y agoI'd say dieselgate, Tesla self-driving safety investigation and the recent Toyota/Daihatsu scandal shows regulations are not working as well as people wish them to.
- pengaru 3y agoChina's EVs are already in the UK under the MG marque (SAIC[0]) and there's no reason to think BYD won't follow suit AFAICT. It's just a matter of when, not if, from where I'm sitting. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAIC_Motor#MG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAIC_Motor#MG
