WOW this vehicle is like twice the price of a Hongqi EHS-9 full size luxury urban SUV.

BYD aiming for Rolls Cullinan and Bentley Bentayga price territory. I'm assigning 50% of super luxury brands' value toward their history and provenance. Obviously this BYD have some capabilities never been done before and innovative as hell, easily putting every established brand to shame and serves as the brand's halo, flagship vehicle. WOW $170,000 USD. Honestly to a Chinese buyer, it is the same as $1.2M USD. I get the tech in this vehicle is two steps ahead of the leading global competition though. Great to see Chinese brands do moonshot products like this!

Arrogance of Yu Chengdong laid to bare. After he made a big fuss of Dongchedi results, M7 again embarrassed itself with just 10km pure electric range in very hard conditions. Whereas U8 was top with over 60km. Showing again that developing all the hard tech for EVs take time.
