> They utterly dominate globally outside of EU/NA where they face extreme tariffs. Even inside of EU, seemingly BYD have reasonable prices, especially compared to their EU competitors. I'm an current Audi owner in Spain, who is currently very close of getting a BYD DM-i Touring, and compared to what I would get from Audi for the same price, BYD still offers a lot more in everything except "nice steering feeling", at least from what I've gathered from my test drives. | ||

> offers a lot more in everything except "nice steering feeling" Isn’t it wise to prefer a nice steering feeling? Your body is, after all, going to be feeling it every time you drive. | ||

As a long term BMW driver instead of Audi I have the same. I'm swapping one of my two BMWs for a Model Y Premium. Also tried the BYD 7 but the Model Y felt nicer to drive and with more space. The BMW iX1 is disappointing in range, interior luxury and power. It's below an older 6 series (that I'm switching from), and much less powerful than a Model Y AWD. No idea why BMW thinks they can price it like they do. The other option was the BMW i5 Touring but it's more expensive and feels "old" already. | ||

That's because the car lobby only cared about electric vehicle tariffs, the petrol cars from China are tax free (There's also anti-dumping tariffs on electric bikes from China, I wonder if it's the same lobby...) | ||
