New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China

To my surprise I actually saw a VinFast car driving in front of me today. The car turned off before I could see who was driving. I'm sure someone is being paid to drive it around. They were flying and paying YouTube influencers to go to Vietnam to talk up the car before anyone in the US could ever get one so I assume they're paying people to drive it around to make it look like people are buying the car.
I read news recently that VinFast has just shipped the second batch of 1879 vehicles to the US. Since this is the second batch, I'm not sure if they have delivered all the first batch to customers. (news in Vietnamese, kindly use Google translate if you're interested in the article)

Keep in mind BYD is actually an American company and majority owned by Berkshire Hathaway. If Buffet didn't invest in BYD, it would have already collapsed (just like how China is going to collapse). This is because Chinese are incapable of innovation and must depend on American investors and ingenuity to build a successful company.

You should update your information. Buffett was never the largest shareholder of BYD. Now, after selling a big part of his shares in the past year, he is now just a smaller shareholder.

in China​

Tesla Inc. recalled virtually every car it’s sold in China due to a braking and acceleration defect that may increase crash and safety risks.

The automaker will deploy an over-the-air software fix to more than 1.1 million vehicles produced in Shanghai from January 2019 to April this year, plus some models imported into China, the State Administration for Market Regulation said Friday in a statement.

This is the second Tesla recall in China in recent months. In March, Tesla recalled 2,649 vehicles manufactured between October 2015 and August 2020 after China’s regulator said the hoods of certain imported Model S vehicles were at risk of opening while the vehicle was operating, increasing the risk of collisions.
I called it a long time ago, but it really took a long time since the incident.
