BYD may become one of the biggest investors in the auto sector in Europe in the near future.

Changan/Huawei/CATL's Deepal S7 looks good. It is as big as Tesla Model Y, but its price starts below $25,000, and comes as BEV (pure battary EV), EREV (extended range, or hybrid, EV), or FCEV (hydrogen fuel cell EV).

That Changan/Huawei deepal S7 looks good, it looks like in 2023 Chinese car designs really are taking off at least for my taste.
I just wish they would make more hatchback designs, i don't really like the higher height of SUV it look less sporty and more bulky.

things to think about from Ford's point of view

产能利用率,产能利用率,还是产能利用率!

巅峰时期,长安福特在重庆、哈尔滨、杭州设立的五家整车工厂产能最高可达160万辆。

目前,长安福特的产能已锐减至67万辆。

即便如此,产能利用率也不足40%。
a lot of factory capacity not being used.

China's corporate sector still has a lot to learn in terms of things like capital budgeting, marketing, product planning, forecasting etc

I think this Ford JV is an example of that. They built a massive 1.15 million capacity factory in Chongqing alone but ended up selling 250k cars a year. That is a colossal screwup that's a huge drag on both Changan and Ford's finances.
