    This anti-Tesla pro BYD narrative is weird. Tesla is in great shape, let’s look at revenue and profit per car and the fundamentals. Cybertruck is far from Niche with a sales of 250k per year, though the demand would support 500k per annum. The companies that are being destroyed by China include VW, Ford, GM etc etc.

    The factory for Cybertruck will ramp to at least 100k cars per year by the end of 2024. Dan is remarkably out of touch.

    BYD and now Xiaomi plus others. Tesla won’t stand a chance in the global market. It will only succeed in the US were its widely known even then it will be tough if Apple ever releases its electric car with its large ecosystem/customer base and marketing strategy.

      ​@@TheMagicJIZZ 1. Never said anything bankruptcy, dont know where you got that from.
      2. Wow shocker, every starts off with no exp until they do. But they do have experience in domestic market, and gaining market share in europe and other asian markets. Plus BYD is advantage is making superior batteries that their competitor like Tesla end up basically funding them by using BYD batteries.
      3. I like Toyota’s approach because I also think we should’ve moved to hybrids first before even thinking full EVs. a) Producing batteries wont keep up and a lot materials are needed and will be at limited supply . b) Charging infra is also limited at the moment plus if many people adopt evs the grid wont be able to support this. c) all this will increase the cost of EVs making them more expensive reducing adoption. So EVs wont be affordable.

      – All and all hybrid is better than EVs and thats what the government should’ve push instead of EVs because of being blinded about climate change bs. So im in support of Toyota focusing on hybrid.

      @@ArcticPrimal why did you have the audacity to even mention Apple then ?

      I think BYD is good but dominate like Tesla everywhere? Tesla is a fluke. Tesla shouldn’t dominate china even with domestic manufacturing. BYD would have to achieve brand status desire in Europe to rival Tesla and the US? C’mon

      It all depends on India and Africa for Tesla expansion. I think Toyota is going to rival byd. And Tesla more than any automaker

      Tesla is more experienced than giving credit. Copying their operations isn’t easy. Even BYD can’t sell their vehicles for $12,000 in the US

      But to count Tesla to being not 2. But just slide into irrelevant status is naive. When the model 2 will come. And will dominate china and the US and Europe. It’s going to be built on all 3 continents and India eventually

    It’s actually hard to tell

    BYD counts a sale when it is delivered to one of their 1200 dealers (c.1100 in China) and fewer than 50,000 of the Q4 sales will be outside of China. Tesla counts a sale when the end customer has paid for it and close to 300,000 of their 484,000 Q4 sales will be outside of China.

    It would be interesting to see how many of the 524,000 BYD sales were to the end user and how many ended up (net) in dealer inventory. It would be more interesting if BYD outsold Tesla outside of China, we really don’t know what influence the CCP had on “encouraging” dealers to accept stock to boost the Chinese numbers.
