How China's BYD Overtook Tesla

Elon Musk’s Tesla has been overtaken by China’s BYD as the world’s top selling electric carmaker. BYD’s rise is the result of long-term strategic thinking by both the company and the Chinese government. And it’s setting up China to be a dominant player in the global automotive industry. Here are the three most important things that have made BYD the king of EVs.

A mention of byd is a subsidy from the Chinese government, without mentioning technological advantages at all. Tesla doesn't even have batteries. In addition, when it comes to government subsidies, the biggest beneficiary is Tesla, which has received a lot of subsidies for building factories and industrial chains in addition to sales subsidies from the Chinese government.

[@dongshengdi773]

BYD is a joke. They sold mostly hybrids, not EVs . BYD is playing the same playbook as the CCP; copying and stealing other companies' technology. And then manipulating data to exaggerate their narrative. BYD is on top of the list as having the most repairs in China 😂 🤡 😂 My friend has been working in BYD for over 20 years now . He saw how BYD would disassemble other popular cars like Toyota and Tesla, and then copy them .

Here in Brazil, BYD is making a real revolution. The electric car market has always been more expensive than combustion cars, but with the launch of one of its cheapest models, she managed to cause a small revolution in the market, making car companies (electric and combustion based) lower their prices to compete with her. And this has not only happened in Brazil, I heard that BYD is revolutionizing all over Latin America with his aggressive prices. And all this in a period of less than 1 year! Very crazy!

I experimented 3 years ago and purchased 4 BYD forklifts. Yes, they make those too. I was hesitant to purchase Chinese made equipment but was intrigued by the batteries. The biggest issue with forklifts is battery charging time, which for a typical lead battery in a forklift is 18 hours to do it correctly. Charge, equalize and cool down. The full cycle on the BYD battery is about an hour to hour and a half. That keeps you from having to swap batteries in forklifts which is fairly dangerous moving a 5K pound battery. You can use lithium batteries but they are incredibly expensive and the usable lift is about the same as lead which is 5 years before problems. The BYD batteries have a 10 year warranty. which just does not exist in the regular battery world. If BYD were to start making forklifts in USA they would dominate the market. They are a battery company that is now making things for the batteries to be used in.

​@@iam_arnavisaha32Is China's EV Market Doomed? Foxconn Charges Into EVs, Buffett Unplugs BYD. Since last year, this figure has surged a staggering 1.06 million units. This, alone, is a wakeup call to the industry. Let's delve deeper and examine the case of the industry titan, BYD. In the grand panorama of 2022, they produced close to 1.8 million vehicles. However, the number of insured vehicles falls short at 1.58 million, quietly spelling out the fate of over 210,000 vehicles - accumulating dust in warehouses. If that doesn't raise eyebrows, consider this: in the first quarter of this year, BYD has reported an insured volume of 441,000 units. However, their production report from January to March shows nearly 548,000 units. This suggests an additional accumulation of more than 100,000 vehicles into the already bulging inventory.

My first BYD ride was an atto 3 and I wasnt impressed by the interior and driving experience. Yesterday i drove the BYD SEAL and my my was it an experience. Definately far superior build quality, material choice, comfort and design than the model 3 and for the same price. 😱 The only thing it lacked against the Tesla was its OS which was a little confusing but it can probably be worked out fairly quickly. All I gotta say is whoever underestimate or disregard the chinese automakers will face a rude awakening in the future.

The first serial produced Li-ion electric car was actually not done by tesla but nissan, renault and VW (2010-2013) and the model s came out in 2012. What has happened since? Tesla have moved far ahead and so have the chinese but the europeans just stuck to their old and boring ways.

BYD, like many Chinese companies, also invests in supplying markets that are often ignored by most Western companies. In Zimbabwe for example we've only seen a handful of Tesla cars trickle into the country over the past ~10 years, that have to be imported on an individual basis from Asia and the USA. This is partly because of the price of their cars but also because Tesla doesn't even have a dealership on the entire continent of Africa. BYD on the other hand has dealerships popping up across the world; 400+ cities, 70+ countries, and 6 continents. In Zimbabwe, we even have a BYD dealership servicing not only the growing EV market in the country but also the gap in retail, commercial and industrial solar power generation. By the time Tesla and other EV companies decide to supply these markets that they are overlooking, they might not stand a chance.

FSD alone is probably what sets the price difference from the 45,000 estimate to 22,000 for BYD. More features include using your tesla as a backup powerbank for your house, being able to summon your car to your location using your phone, and much more.

There are really only two things hindering EV mass adoption. That is electrical infrastructure and the barrier to entry fee. As time has gone past, the electrical infrastructure in many places has progressed very well with Tesla playing a big part in this system which is smart, own the car and the way to charge it. That being said however, the car is important too, on this Tesla has really been a disappointment in my opinion. The average joe simply does not have thousands of dollars to buy a new EV that will likely degrade faster when compared with used combustion cars. More cars means a bigger push for electrical infrastructure, Tesla put the cart before the horse on this one in my opinion so it is no wonder that BYD which has vehicles at half the starting price is getting market share very fast and deservedly so.
