BYD electric cars

“BYD, Zeekr, Lynk & Co (brands owned by private companies) -- an example of good design, user research for interior.”

“I really haven't been impressed with most other offerings when I could peer over the border and see what BYD, Xiaomi, and others are doing”

“competitors like BYD (and really Waymo too given the self-driving) are continuing to succeed, grow, and innovate”

“BYDs are held at bay in an anti free market policy specifically because American car companies cannot compete with its low cost and quality.”

“Here in the Philippines there are great choices from BYD, Geely, Chery, GWM, MG, and probably more I'm forgetting.”

“I read their EULA and it sounded pretty okay. They also didn't come preloaded with youtube or other distraction apps”

“they have LFP batteries which last much longer than Li-ion ones in addition to being safer”

“would be a great car for most peoples daily commute cheaper even than public transport”

“That's an insane price and the range is fine for the daily needs of the large majority of people.”

“From everything I have read, the BYD cars that would be available here would be competitive products”

“Chinese companies that understand how to make a better car than Tesla for less money”

“BYD intends to be the largest automaker in the world in five years, and makes EVs exclusively.”

“BYD may very well be pulling ahead on battery tech and vertical integration right now.”

“From everything I've read about BYD, I'm thinking it's almost certainly going to be the car I buy”

“BYD cars are so weirdly obnoxious. It's like they're designed for 60 year-old nouveau riche.”

“People are buying BYD because they're better cars, not because they're forced to.”

“That looks to me like a very deliberate trade-off, not a sacrifice in the name of undercutting everyone.”

“if you're going to buy a car from an enemy of liberal western democracy, you might as well buy BYD over Tesla”

“the data that these cars might be sending or being exposed to having the car remotely disabled”

“the only vendor that makes parts for it is BYD - and its up to them if they bother selling to you”

“It was pleasant, had good features and good range, cheap to buy, cheap to operate and easier to maintain than alternatives.”

“From mass recalls to faking sales targets and finances, BYD is actually facing serious problems.”

“they test drived a BYD as well which was the same as a Tesla, just one huge tablet and endless menus”

“BYD for example is one of these Chinese-made brands prohibited in the US but leading the industry in performance.”

“This is both really cool and also fucking insanity - the lengths we'll go just to avoid building better train service.”

“I've heard that mechanics raised similar concenrns about the quality of rust protection as well as the thickness of steel on BYDs.”

“their software stack is fully integrated as an appliance piece, which means you get all the features of android”

“BYD are just affordable and maybe reliable, regarding maintenance their spares are hard to come by”

“I just don’t like the tackiness of the interior and not in love with the exterior either”

“The equivalent BYD comes with all of that included for free in the cheapest SKU.”

“Suspension is much better than my previous car but I'll reserve judgement until it's also 5 years old.”

“Compare all that to a BYD you could realistically buy outright for $10-15K and charge in your driveway every night.”

“It's impressive how fast they've caught up and mostly surpased their competition.”

“examples where the tires simply fall off because they don't use enough metal in the suspension”

“talk up BYD's software as top-notch, however the price is artificially inflated in the US due to tariffs”

“the Hyundai, Kia, Geely, ZeekR, BYD, Polestar, Mini, Lexus, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes and other brands are cars that happen to be powered by batteries”

“Can't wait until someone figures out how to smuggle those $15k BYDs in from Mexico.”

“This sounds a lot like some of the BYD offerings which, regrettably, aren't available in USA.”

“Maybe Europe should allow cheap BYD's to be imported for the poor eastern Europeans them.”

“It’s not that they are doing this, but that they have done it and they have the capability”
