The irony being, I trust the BYD vehicles more than I do Tesla to hold up. Chinese quality =/= crap quality anymore. They’ve done a massive manufacturing speedrun from zero to competitive in less than 20 years.
And Tesla’s been a constant pain of manufacturing blunders and recalls and dumb designs that break in stupid ways or are outright dangerous, even if they had EV tech way ahead of everyone else for the first 15 years of EVs being on the road.
Of course, shoddy knockoff products do exist still, but BYD and Xiaomi are not that.
