That BYD U8 is $150k. Who can afford that shit?
- dmoy 3y agoThat's like knocking Toyota affordability because the Lexus LS whatever is >$100k. BYD has $10k cars and >$150k cars
- practicemaths 3y agoIf approximately half the cost of an EV is the battery pack I'm terrified by the prospect of a $10k car...
- dmoy 3y agoYea I do want to know what the costing on this is. It's a bit hard to figure for BYD because: (a) there's unknown government subsidies going on, and (b) they mine and refine their own lithium and make their own batteries (also make Tesla's batteries too, I think). So their battery cost is... unusually low
