BYD is selling where I live now in Southeast Asia. And I've also been to China many times and been inside BYD vehicles.

While they are economically built, the quality seems pretty good considering the price point. They're being used as taxis all over Shenzhen and many other cities where I'm sure they're racking up hundreds of millions of kilometers of fleet mileage, potentially giving them a lot of data to work with.

Honestly I think the Chinese are going to be very strong contenders against American built electric vehicles, which is going to ruffle a lot of feathers.

I love how they take a more conservative approach than Tesla with their technology. If I had freedom of choice I'd be buying a BYD over a Tesla because they are like the Toyota of electric vehicles. They focus more on the vehicle being a vehicle than all the high tech bloat.
