    I don’t wanna be that guy, but BYD are not only garbage tofu cars, they are also HEAVILY subsidized by the CCP in an effort to dump on the competition.

        You don’t understand the amount of dumping they are doing. The CCP is intentionally putting the competition out of business so one day they can own the market. They already did this with solar panels.

            If you’ve seen some of the tactics of the ccp and familiarize yourself with how they use economic controls for political manipulation in non-humane ways you may be more inclined to find that them subsidizing any industry like that will be paid for in the blood of their own people and those afar. It’s not exactly ‘free’ people manufacturing that ‘cheap affordable solar energy’ (which is still cheap and affordable from non-ccp manufacturers, just not artifically so) and they’re not subsidizing it to be good global citizens.

              This is 100%. Also add on the fact that reliance on an entire country that controls all the world’s energy is very very bad. (See Russia and what they are doing to the UK).
