Elon Musk once scoffed at the notion that BYD could compete with his company. Now, the automaker run by billionaire Wang Chuanfu is poised to be the new No. 1 in electric vehicles.
Worth mentioning that the title is somewhat click baity. BYD is expected to overtake Tesla this quarter, but hasn’t happened yet.
Will happen sooner or later though, imagine still selling the same old models after all these years, while pouring all your resources at:
An experimental pickup truck that nobody appears to like
A convertible sports car that will surely do well in this economy (Might be 400IQ play though, when it’s out in 10 years, perhaps the demand for such a thing is up again)
A semi truck. Where weight and endurance is the key and the exact things battery powered cars are terrible at.
Also brands selling everyday cars is almost guaranteed to out sell a more “premium” brand(well, I suppose the only thing premium about a Tesla is the price tag, but that’s how they position themselves). Just compare Toyota and BMW. Surprised it didn’t happen sooner.

The Tesla Semi actually does work economically for shorter routes. The massive savings in fuel costs makes it worth it.
