No, BYD passed Tesla in sales in Q4 2023. Tesla was ahead, but that is no longer the case.

Byd is selling $10k vehicles. Those would be considered nice golf carts in the us.

This isn’t remotely true unless your golf carts are equipped with climate control, comfortable seats, entertainment systems, etc. and have ranges measured in the hundreds of miles. They’re selling well internationally because they’re a good deal and countries which don’t have domestic car manufacturers to protect aren’t trying to keep them out. The U.S. has tariffs because Detroit has been chasing the luxury market and isn’t prepared to compete on price.

BYD's cars are nicer than GMs though.
