I find it annoying that they keep adding phevs to essentially electric car lists, because it suits byd stock.

Dont know if this cost effective, but Tesla is renting outing non std trim vehicles as low as $60 in state only for mini 3 days to a max of 7 days.

Nice alternative to rental legacy in some states, where prices are absurd, and good way to experience teslas longterm.

Me thinks this is the reason for this rental program . It's actually pretty smart because it will get people in Tesla's. If they offer a Plaid for $60 a day, I'm game 👍

yes, but not BEVs.

If it does not matter if it is EVs or not, BYD has a big problem with Saic (MG) and Geely eating its lunch, which is why stock and profits are down.
