I noticed that when I was there. I was pleasantly surprised to see as many BYD as I did.

That infact made me consider BYD even more seriously. Being able to see the car in person is far more impressive the a YouTube video.

This link still runs into a subscription paywall, as do most of your recent posts.

How's Elon gonna sell his shitbox cars if the government doesnt step in? Other than to techbros, that is.

I tried to like Teslas, but I find them incredibly cheap and uncomfortable. The road noise is worse than a 27 year old Subaru, which I found baffling since there's not even an engine, and I thought they were supposed to be aerodynamic and smooth. But no, they're harsh and always feel like you're driving on a noisy worn out road. What's the appeal of Teslas? For the price premium of them, what do you actually get?

The appeal is that it will drive you itself.

There are relatively few ways to mask the fact that a car weighs 2000kg. One of the non-ways of solving that problem is to put ultra-low-profile tires on huge wheels to make it look cool online and ride like shit.

Is there any reasonable cost-effective way to import these into the USA? Or is that path blocked due to regulatory safety things?
