The recent surge in fuel prices due to the war in Iran has spurred demand for electric vehicles around the world, and Chinese car makers are making the most of the opportunity.

“thriving car company not selling in the U.S. says it exists”
Well yeah, we know it’s doing well and it isn’t here… Why would the title even need to be stated?
Didn’t one of US presidents advisors mocked BYD and labeled it as non competitive to EV market.
Maybe this was a good reason to be stated.
Isn’t there another post where it shows the cars in the USA are spying on you, triggering an alarm when it detects that you are tired and what not “technological advancements” they put in them?
Hey China, you are welcome to sell me your clean cheap car!
Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027
Not quite, but almost
Hey China, you are welcome to sell me your clean cheap car!
Sure, but they’ll be spying on you too.
What’s better? To be spied by your government that can use your data against you or the foreign government who can’t.
In an ideal world there’d be no spying, but we don’t live in one.
I mean, I agree we don’t want spying, but: a foreign government absolutely can use your data against you. Whether its creating a profile on you that could later be used against you when you enter that country, using it for statistical or targeted data for influence campaigns…there are a lot of ways.
China in particular has repeatedly deployed extra-territorial “police service stations” in at least the UK, Canada and the US to punish or harass those it’s identified as “Chinese” dissidents or sympathizers in other countries.

They would like to know which individual have specific skill sets they want. Things such as being able to fly a fighter plane, operate a nuclear plant, or design hypersonic missiles. And they don’t even have to touch that individual, just listen and watch, and get the information they need.
On the other hand, it is very unlikely that I would willingly enter either China or US, so there is that.
I think the rest of the world is getting there too.
By doubling down on ICE and ultra expensive penis replacement “trucks” the Auto Industry and it’s paid up politicians there are basically committing suicide, so sooner or later there will be plenty of room in that market for auto makers with friendly priced electric cars.
We know
Here ya go
Dude. Where’s the NSFW tag?
The whole world is starting to find out that they can thrive without the usa, now that they have to (unless they kiss the ring). Fuck, it’s just like Stephen King’s novel “The Stand”.
But I truly want them here. I work in the automotive industry and yeah, they’re scared shitless. However, from my point of view it seems like a greed thing. It would drive competition hard and that would mean short to medium term r&d cost increases.
We are so fucking far behind it’s not even funny. Shutting out the competition is just putting our head in the sand. It is time to get into gear.
Yes. But as an American I want to thrive with byd here!
They’re just better electric cars than what we can get…
We can’t even get those small Japanese trucks
My area in NE Florida is swimming in those little Trucks and Vans. My daughter is nearing driving age and really wants one of the Vans.
So glad that Biden decided that protecting Elon Musk’s financial interests was more important than Americans having affordable electric cars.
Every centrist who rails against tariffs but makes excuses for Biden’s protectionism is a massive hypocrite.
Trump is training the world in how to live without us. Congrats!
Cheeto Benito inadvertently doing more to drive renewables and electric cars than any previous incentives definitely isn’t something i had on my bingo card.
As can we all.
Canadian here who wouldn’t mind trying a BYD.
Once again, this news makes the man happy.
Ah, I see that the 50-cent army has fucking arrived, too.
Tesla had pioneer advantage
The Chinese will make better vehicles more efficiently and cheaper
That should make everyone happy
I’m certainly very happy with my Huawei watch. Obviously a totally different product by a different manufacturer, but China can clearly make quality stuff that’s affordable.
Indeed I’ve been using Xiaomi phones exclusively for well over a decade
Not the best feature set maybe but cheap as chips and highly functional
