I'm not in the market for a BYD but I'm stoked to see Telsa taking a beating.

This is why they’re outlawed in the US. Tesla can’t compete.

Banning something is not the market regulating itself. That's outside forces regulating the market...

I think that's the point they're trying to make.

TBH nobody can compete with BYD at this point at normal consumer level.

It's crazy how big BYD is in China friendly countries (I'm in SEA and their everywhere) though Japanese cars are still hard to uproot from many cultures and I hope Japan comes up with an affordable EV soon. I'm not driving Chinese spyware, especially in the current political climate.

So you prefer Japanese spyware instead.

Indeed. Or American or German or any other. They are all spywares on wheels and this should be regulated - no communication unless explicitly approved by customer at very least.
