- melling 3y agoWhich playbook? BYD has shipped millions of EVs.
- orangeboats 3y agoThis kinda glosses over the entire history of BYD cars though. BYD started very low, selling cheap EVs or hybrids like the BYD F3, then slowly creeped up to being a mainstream brand (a la Toyota) in China, and is now moving towards the even higher end with cars like Yangwang U8. I guess my point is, it always seemed to me that their plan was to release products like the U9. It's just that they were doing it bottom-up.
- lm28469 3y ago> they came out with the roadster first. Which is the literal opposite of what BYD did
- rasz 3y agoYes, roaster is soo cool, I see them everywhere at cars and coffee and drag strips and ... now back to reality. There is a very limited number of Roadsters still on the road. They are actually more valuable in parts than the whole car https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/how-many-roadsters-are-left.193562/ https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/how-many-roadsters-a... Second gen was supposed to ship what, 3 years ago?
