I own BYD and it is a great car. Very pleased with it.

Heard it can be hard / expensive if you need to order spare parts and stuff like that. Anything to that?

as customers switch to Chinese EVs

Sure. That's the reason.

[–] killabeezio@lemmy.zip 78 points 1 day ago (13 children)

I don't think that's what they meant. I think they are just saying that people are still buying EVs, but they are just going to Chinese and other manufacturers instead of buying a Tesla. The article specifically calls out the stupid shit Elon has been doing.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 1 day ago

Which is important because about a year ago the headlines were saying EV sales were collapsing. In fact, it was just Tesla having less market share of new EVs sold because other manufacturers got off their ass.

Hitler was "incendiary" and "political" but I think there's a four-letter word so much better, so much more concise, that this wording is actual disinformation.

i hate musk, but i am not wild about our dependence on china either, so i am not really sure who to root for in this fight...

[–] SpaceRanger13@lemm.ee 102 points 1 day ago (24 children)

I would say go with whatever company that doesn't have a CEO throwing Nazi salutes.

Yeah, the Chinese manufacturers are out to make money, and at least we know what to expect from them.

Besides, being profitable usually means making a better product than your competitors.

[–] KumaSudosa@feddit.dk 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't know that they're out to make money though. A lot of the Chinese manufacturers are now struggling due to the price war they instigated themselves. Huge production surplus but they pushed down the price so much they hardly make any money

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think a lot of it is also growing their market share and establishing their brand.

Root for better public transport and active cities instead of car dependency :)

[–] varyingExpertise@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Living in the boonies, I'm never going to get a bus going by every ten minutes so a solid market for good EVs is still what I root for.

[–] pdqcp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Of course, public transport has a limit and we can root for both as well, including protected bike lanes even in the boonies like we successfully see in the Netherlands

The public transport bus I take to and from work is a Chinese made electric. It's a Yutong E15.

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

I remember that one getting tested in my hometown.

[–] KumaSudosa@feddit.dk 2 points 1 day ago

How common are these in Denmark? 😮 don't feel like I've seen one, but then again it's not like I study the make before I get in the bus
