CNBC: BYD Rising
Interesting vid from CNBC about BYD. I have to admit, their cars look good, and they sell tons of plugin hybrids. Not sure about reliability though. I'll stick with Toyota for now, even if they manage to get into USA.

i watched this video before seeing it here... but thanks for posting.
anyone who thinks tesla or any automaker is completely invincible needs to watch.
it was notable that tesla buys batteries from byd.
i'm shocked at the sheer number of different models that byd has launched.

Tesla must innovate to continue to be successful. manufacturing skills are part of it, but if they can get fsd to be trusted for example, their valuation and success will be assured for a good while.

It's going to be a while before BYD can be sold here if for no other reason than the small matter of the close to 30% tariff on Chinese made vehicles (2.5% general tariff on imported vehicles plus an additional 25% tariff specific to cars made in China). Just like Tesla manufactures in China, BYD will need to manufacture here before any there's any meaningful prospect of volume sales in the US. The upcoming Model 2 and current 3/Y seem to me to be more than capable of ensuring Tesla's continued sales success in the US, regardless of BYD's possible future entry.

I thought the plan was to build in Mexico to allow for sales in the US. That seems to not be true. At least that's what they're claiming.

In San Francisco, I noticed our city's public buses just got replaced with ones made by BYD...they are electric (like the previous ones, non BYD) but I find it interesting they won the contract, especially with all the Anti-China trade agreements between the two countries
