Subscribe to our KZbin channel here: sc.mp/2kAfuvJ
Chinese-owned BYD Auto is the world’s top-selling electric vehicle maker. Inside its factory in Shenzhen, a vehicle rolls off the production line every 90 seconds. China is aiming to be the global leader in electric vehicles, as part of its ambitious “Made in China 2025” initiative. The South China Morning Post got a rare look at BYD’s production line.

If someone asks about his opinion about the Chinese phones, he starts laughing and says I am an American. I don’t buy a Chinese phone, and he is proud of the iPhone, which is a Chinese phone and it is made in China. The problem of these people is not with the brand but with China as a strong industrial country and with the Chinese people. As an active working people, unlike them, they hate China.

Tesla's high EV range claims are being disputed. A group of Tesla owners state that their range is significantly less than advertised. Below is an excerpt from Reuters: Reuters also reported that about a decade ago Tesla had decided to write algorithms for its in-dash range meter that would show drivers "rosy" projections for the distance the car could travel on a full battery, according to a source. James Porter, a Petaluma, California-based Model Y owner, said in the lawsuit that on one trip he "lost approximately 182 miles of range-despite only driving 92 miles."

[@khavaliar]

Jjsje Yhshejh it does not take a whole day to charge. Teslas take 40minutes on a supercharger to gain 310miles!. If you travel 300miles you will have a lunch/dinner break... during which you can charge. Superchargers are located in or near malls/restaurants. Also. If you charge overnight. Have a good night sleep and wake up with 310miles i am sure you will arrive with your very long distance destination ..needing perhaps one charge in between during lunch or none at all

[@jjsjeyhshejh8290]

Kevin Nyandika When they make Tesla affordable then we can talk until then Tesla is still using people as crash test dummies. All their electric cars are over price and their cars are an accident waiting to happen. Why u think Tesla is hitting the bottom tank and is about to go bankrupt.

[@khavaliar]

Jjsje Yhshejh watch the news. Tesla vehicles have the highest safety ratings by both nhtsa and ihis. Also, the company is not going bankrupt. They just announced 300million profit dollars for Q3 yesterday and 6.9billion dollars of revenue just for this quarter. All that money in 3months! From 100k cars Comparison. Ford which made over 1million cars in the same period earned just 900million profit... 10times more cars for 3times more profit.. P.s Tesla stocks are also trading at $310
