About 2 years ago, we were here talking about Tesla was going to sell 10 to 20 million EVs worldwide in 3 to 5 years. It turns out that we were actually talking about BYD. Given the initial batch of feedbacks from China on FSD, Tesla would be in a catch-up position vis-a-vis ADAS, which is very likely going to introduce ADAS 4.0 with L3-legal in China during April Shanghai Auto Show. BYD has gone all-in with all sorts of options in intelligent/autonomous driving. If Li/Xpeng/Nio were consolidated into one company, which they should or must in 2025, they would be another tier-one intelligent/autonomous power-house out of gate. That would put China vs half-China (yes, I mean Tesla) in the race of intelligent/autonomous NEVs, while the rest of the world would just be waiting for mercy. China is already in turbo-super-charging mode in 2025 in all aspects of manned or unmanned vehicles. I am actually surprised how fast and furious the auto industry has been moving forward in a short period of 2-3 years. It is fair to say, at least for the moment, the global auto industry actually means Chinese auto industry. Oh boy ......
Trump said that? No way.
2nd gen Yuan SUV has now been launched. No price change, but a lot of upgrades including DiPilot-100, DiLink-100, 12 inch W-HUD and auto fridge.

With the recent unveiling of both pricing and specifications for the Ford Ranger PHEV to be offered in Australia, first takes are that both BYD Shark and GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV look better than ever.
(Paul Maric owns a Ranger Raptor, so it's a little difficult to accuse him of anti-Ford bias...)
What I find interesting is that, taken on its own merits and relative to high-end ICE competitors, this vehicle appears entirely respectable. It's only when you bring in China that it starts to look both undercooked and overpriced.
In the ICE realm, Chinese utes are a distinctly third-tier option here, behind both segment leaders Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux, and also established alternatives such as Isuzu D-Max, Mitsubishi Triton, Nissan Navara, Mazda BT-50 and Volkswagen Amarok. It's an open question as to whether prospective PHEV ute buyers will prove more willing than their ICE counterparts to look beyond those established brands.

Check out how good Huawei’s system is. It is above L3 for sure.

They are going to have a larger Shark to challenge F150 and a smaller shark to challenge low end models like Fiat Strada.
here is the breakdown of both brand sales and model sales. Shark 6 did well

Well the CEO was caught with drug abuse by the board. 40% retail stock ownership and a following means that the board is impotent.
