Legacy automakers behave like sloths compared to nimble NEV makers from China. For example, Toyota is shocked by BYD's development speed.

Toyota Was ‘Flabbergasted’ By BYD’s EV Development Speed​

Tesla first upended how cars are made. Chinese carmakers took Tesla’s playbook and went ballistic with it.

How China's new auto giants left GM, VW and Tesla in the dust​

BYD, Chery and other Chinese car makers have reshaped global competition through their unprecedented agility. They have found ways to develop new models in less than half the time it takes their foreign rivals, helping to drive explosive growth.

Literally orders of magnitude apart. It's mentioned in the second of his links.

BYD’s product-launch pace, however, leaves Tesla’s in the dust, and BYD sells more than double the number of cars annually. Tesla has five models, only two of which sell in volume. Since Tesla launched its best-selling Model Y in 2020, BYD has rolled out more than 40 all-new vehicles and more than 139 updated or refreshed models, according to JATO data.

Cars get most of the attention, but electric trucks are growing fast too. Much faster compared to other countries.

According to the

(IEA), global sales of bettery-powered electric trucks increased by nearly 80% in 2024, led by a 2X increase in China, which accounted for more than 80% of the total. Starting from a very low base and propelled by government incentives, the number of electric trucks sold in China rose to about 75,000 vehicles. Sales in Europe and the US, the second and third largest markets, were roughly flat.

The total cost of ownership of a heavy-duty electric truck used in long-haul transport, in the estimation of the IEA, has already reached parity with diesel trucks in China, with savings on fuel offsetting shigher price for electric trucks. In Europe and the US, the IEA expects parity to be reached by 2030.

I keep hearing about how BYD allegedly used fake cars to get government approval to sell abroad or something (Not sure if I got the details correct) and how BYD is gonna destroy EV market because they produce too much cars and does too much discounts.

What are your thoughts on these?

Hold on, can you elaborate?

I'm just not so well versed in these things.

How did you know that it's FLG?

How do you get fake cars to get approval? How do fake cars sell so well in first world countries after three years, when problems should’ve manifested? Only FLG and Indians and maybe South East province are brain dead enough to come up with this sort of nonsense.

And please refrain from posting sourceless rage bait like this in the future.
