    And that profit is coming straight from the government as there is no way they’re making billions in profit by selling brand new cars for $10k in 2024. There is zero margin there.

      They have cars from $10k to $200+k. BYD includes a bunch of brands, including the Yangwang brand which builds the $150k U8 and the $230k U9. Not to mention their busses which are used around the world.

        Cool but I don’t see how that’s relevant to the discussion of them trying to sell $10k EVs in the US.

        Nobody here is arguing to buy a $230,000 Chinese EV.
