BYD to end the Tesla era on electric motor and battery tech merits

[Redaktion]

Tesla has $200 million in unsold Cybertruck inventory piling up, but that may be the least of Elon Musk's worries. Even if the new Model Y proves a sales hit, Tesla would still be dethroned in 2025, says one industry study.

And Xiaomi isn't resting on their laurels either.
They merely started later, but if they continue like this, they'll catch up in no time.

Traditional brands will have to get up to date (or ask their governments for extra-strong tariffs).

A harsh winter or a record breaking summer is all you need for those EV vehicles to get in hot water problems.

Traditional brands dont have to do anything, other than not being shitty (like Stellantis) in order to keep going.

Articles like this love spinning EV vehicles and making propaganda for them, but they are impractical. Charging times, carrying around a huge heavy battery, being affected by how much power you need to use to power your engine & the safety issues when one of those batteries gets in a crash are some of the incoveniences they have in the name of "Climate Change". Just look how the electric scooter wave ended in China. It was called a revolution a decade ago and now they have tons of those sitting in junkyards

Japanese brands & South Korean ones I think took the best approach: A hybrid design where you take the best of both worlds, winning advantages at each side.

Are you from the past? Electric cars dominate during harsh winters (ask Norwegians), and batteries are improving each year and getting cheaper, so combustion engines are going to end up being more expensive and less reliable than electric cars.

'they worry US automakers like Tesla could get a hold on its technology'
Sure they do, the corrupt Chinese Communist Party regime shamelessly steal whatever technology it can as a standard mode of operation.

Well now the Chinese are worried of the opposite: traditional brands stealing their technology (as they are currently more advanced, other than motor efficiency, which is still their Achilles heel).

Tesla simply entering into the Chinese market, is what doomed their tech advantage. Handed their tech to the competition to study, duplicate, surpass.

Hybrids are still the most complex vehicles with most parts/components. Having both engines, motors, systems to manage powertrain operations.

Well Toyota, who is/was the hybrid king, last year started externalizing their whole powertrain to BYD: https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/if-you-cant-beat-them-toyota-to-use-byds-plug-in-hybrid-tech-for-new-models-coming-in-the

For now it's only in the Chinese market, were competition is fierce, but who knows if they'll start using BYD hybrid powertrain out of China too at some point.

Yes, the 2000+ year old government is "stealing" from the Capitalist regime. 

Do you know the difference between copying and stealing?
Do you know what iterative design means?
Did you ever come to think about the trillions of times humans have copied other humans? Like, it's literally how we survive and evolve.
Did you honestly call China's government corrupt but somehow leave the current (and many before it) administration in the U.S. out of that marker?
