I don't either, but simply on account of there not being a 10, 20 year old Dolphin to see how they'll do in terms of reliability years down the line. History shows that pretty much no one who set out to make a reliable design the got it right the first time, things tend to fail in unexpected ways. From the teardowns, BYDs seem to be pretty much unrepairable - batteries are glued together, and the motor/inverter/charger/heatpump/etc seems to be put together into one sealed unit - something they're pretty proud of, but let's hope nothing fails in there. From what I hear from the Chinese, they aren't big on the second hand market, so that's another worrying aspect.
