Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The EU had previously investigated Chinese companies and levied tariffs according to the level of state support to neutralize market distortion. Now, EU is dropping tariffs and instead creating a cartel for the industry.

No, BYD will and is spending that money on advertising.

Tesla is still king in a lot of ways, but let's even take any of the Korean brands, they wipe the floor with BYD when it comes to tech, range and quality.

BYD doesn't even have 1 pedal driving. You and many here might not be experienced with EVs, but that's a cardinal sin.

Yet you see any media on BYD, and not a peep about it? Curious is it not? Replace the name with xiaomi, as there's always one cuck in these comments promoting them. Handles so bad, they're making China ban flush handles. THAT'S how bad it is, they're also prone to overheating even on their ultra models and catching fire at a scale, it's making news. But hey, you go onto any comment section and you hear nothing about it but whole lot of anti Tesla slander.

Lucid and Rivian are the only ones chasing after Tesla tech and they're still a decade behind looking at the recent lucid model.

Tesla gets a lot of political hate, but we shouldn't dismiss the technological advances they made so every other brand gets to ride it out on their ancient shit (VW group).

I want a car like my 21 plate model 3, I don't give a fuck if it's European or American or Asian, as long as it's not shady and not Chinese propaganda. My search continues, nothing comes close to convienience of Tesla and 91k miles in, I'll continue running it till the wheels fall off.
