Why Ferrari and Lamborghini Are TERRIFIED of the BYD U9

[@Darkmatter321]

Legacy auto makers don't stand a chance

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

You've got that right. The Chinese are so fast at innovating and with control of the entire supply chain, it's gonna be really hard to fight back.

[@FabioCapela]

@@TheElectricOracleChannel There's a lot of reasons, really. China doesn't just control the supply chain; it essentially tells companies where to set shops, organizing them in thematic clusters - which are known to reduce costs and increase innovation. A lot of thing are much faster and cheaper when your key suppliers are just across the street as opposed to halfway across the country. China has a lot of state-owned companies, whose directive isn't making money; it's, instead, to improve the economy. Imagine having banks and suppliers that pay almost no dividends, pay their directors and executives as if they were regular employees, and use all the money saved on things like growth, R&D, and reducing prices. China has very cheap, if not free, higher education. And with the government having a good deal of control over it, they can plan for which specialties will be needed; as a result, China has much less scarcity of highly specialized, well trained employees. China invests very heavily in infrastructure. For example, it has more high-speed railway than the rest of the world added together. The corporate culture in China favors long term growth as opposed to short term profits. And so on.

​@@flash3047 Manual gearboxes are unlikely to ever become the norm in supercars; those cars are too fast, the vast majority of users have neither the skill nor the reflexes to manually shift gears in a supercar unless they are intentionally going slow. And that doesn't even get into how the ability to manually shift gears is disappearing, to the point car enthusiasts often joke that the best anti-theft device for a car is a stick shift. BTW, the Chinese carmakers making supercars - like BYD - seem to be selling their whole production. Though, of course, that is from sales in China, and those Chinese supercars aren't yet produced in large numbers, since they are very new models from companies with no tradition whatsoever in making supercars; BYD is making just 24 of the U9 per month, for example. The fact it's their first supercar makes it even more impressive that on their first try BYD managed to make a car that sells for less than $250K, reaches 392Km/h (243MPH), and is absolutely stable at that speed.

Big problem, Italian supercars are status symbols. There’s a difference between being seen in a Lambo and a BYD U9. Chinese markets on the other hand is a different thing. They are more into tech where the U9 has them all whipped.

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

100%. The point of my video was to highlight the problem the Italian brands have in China. The rest of the world sales should be fine for now, but I'm guessing their sales we drop dramitically in Asia. Especially with low unit sales to start off with.

[@FabioCapela]

The problem is that if the U9 (or other similar, relatively low price Chinese electric supercars) start being seen as equal or better than the Ferraris and Lamborghinis, then those Italian supercars can lose their status even (or perhaps specially) if the Chinese supercars don't become status symbols themselves. It's similar to how the diamond industry is deathly scared of synthetic diamonds. Synthetic diamonds are already 80% cheaper than natural diamonds and their production costs keep falling, despite having the same properties (meaning often the only way to differentiate them is the origin certificate); this could, in time, make diamonds as a whole - including natural ones - stop being seen a status symbol. It has already caused natural diamonds to lose 20% or more of their market value.

Thanks for your comment, Keith! The charging speed mentioned refers to advancements in EV charging technology, with some networks offering speeds up to 350 kW on ultra-rapid chargers. However, you're right-charging speeds can vary depending on the location and the number of vehicles connected. As for Ferrari and Lamborghini, their loyal buyers will likely stick with them, but it's fascinating to see how EV innovation is starting to reshape the market.

[@FabioCapela]

​@@TheElectricOracleChannel AFAIK there are already more 600KW chargers in China than there are Tesla Superchargers in the US. So, this isn't really an issue in the market it's targeted for, China. Keep in mind that China's charging network makes the US one looks like it was built by a bunch of babbling babies. If no 500KW+ charges are available the U9 also has two independent charging ports; connecting each to a different charger at the same time can enable it to achieve its highest charging speed, assuming both chargers can supply 250KW+ at the same time.

Legacy does work very well in the luxury sector like watches. Luxury high-end watches are mechanical, outdated/poor accuracy, costly and a high maintenance product. Yet the largely millennial generation are devouring it up like pricey candy. Motor vehicles, unlike watches, are loaded with regulations. The only way, IMO, ICE will survive is if the consumer prefers the sound, smoke and feel of ICE. Regulations aside, cost would be no object for these consumers similar to high-end luxury watches.

What's more, the EV's instant reaction speed makes it easier to drive, and thus easier for a regular driver to (safely) extract more of the car's performance.

The end result is that every country where Chinese cars are not somehow blocked - including just about every country without its own local auto industry - is likely to quickly switch to buying Chinese EVs; the laggards will likely be the countries with legacy carmakers, which will likely implement trade barriers to protect those companies (though that will nevertheless result in losing most of their exports to the Chinese).

Apples and oranges. I don’t know any motor heads that don’t buy super cars, in part, for the sound.

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Thanks for your comment, Piero. I think you'll find that the Chinese market is different. This car isn't targeting western petrol heads.

[@Labbestuss]

Basically a chinese Plaid with a cooler design for twice the price...no thx

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Thanks for your comment. You don't think this a supercar? Don't get me wrong, I love the Paid, but that's a totally different category IMHO.

[@lewislau3002]

One more thing, BYD one charge can drive over 600 miles...

[@Aliens_Gonna_Get_Ya]

EV’s 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@frostcb2]

Give 👍nice thumbs up

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Hey, thanks :)

[@lukhanyokongisa8798]

If i had Ferrari money and was able to buy a Ferrari . I would not be buying a Chinese cheap super car .

[@mijmijrm]

Wouldn't you be embarrassed to be buying overpriced tat?

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Thanks for your comment. This pareticular car is targeting the Asian market. I think they will redesign once they have appropriate market share in their region.

Nobody wants electric cars…

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

After a few years they won't have a choice. They'll be much cheaper to purchase than ICE cars and with more efficient running costs.

[@FabioCapela]

@@TheElectricOracleChannel It's not just that, specially for any car you purchase for its track performance. Electric motors are far, far better than combustion engines; instant reaction, much higher power to weight (or size) ratio, no need for a lot of support systems that an ICE engine would need, far better torque curves (so much better that most EVs don't even need to shift gears), you can scale them down and put one electric motor per wheel enabling full torque vectoring, more reliable due to far less moving parts, etc. The only thing holding electric supercars back is the battery tech - the U9, for example, is *very* heavy - but that is quickly improving, and in time no internal combustion engine supercar will be able to come even close to the performance of a properly made electric supercar. Heck, some racing circuits open to amateurs are even introducing bogus "safety" rules to keep EVs out of the track, because an average driver in a high-end, unmodified EV can often beat more experienced drivers in fully tuned and customized ICE cars.

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Haha, of really. I didn' know they were banned from some tracks. That's nuts.

[@autodigitvlogs]

25% market share. Sure buddy!

[@andymartinez767]

[@Chris_Willows]

Ye, I'm sure they're shaking in their boots.... Nobody buying a Ferrari or Lamborghini is interested in a Chinaman's car. Its all about the badge

[@delia93010]
