Having ridden in a lot of BYDs when traveling overseas I think you paint too bleak a picture. They're everywhere and reliable enough to seemingly be the preferred cars for uber drivers. Some markets might tax them out of existence but I expect others will gladly take perfectly serviceable cars on the cheap.
Tesla is still kicking and they had all the same problems at one time or another. I mean until this year we also massively subsidized every EV sale so pot calling the kettle black.

That isnt the government subsidizing an EV for export. https://www.electrive.com/2025/08/22/china-discloses-subsidies-for-ev-manufacturers/ https://www.electrive.com/2025/08/22/china-discloses-subsidi...
