BYD is more affordable than Tesla in at least 10 places outside the West.

  • In each of the 10 markets where both Tesla and the Chinese carmaker BYD list prices online, BYD’s lowest-cost option is cheaper than that of Tesla.
  • While Tesla focuses its sales in North America and Europe, BYD is expanding in Latin America and Southeast Asia.

Tesla has more features than BYD BUT you have to pay extra to activate them. So buying a Tesla means you pay for features you can't use without additional payment.

With BYD, you get all the features available when you buy the car.

Seems like an obvious reason to buy BYD even if Musky didn't go Nazi.

Most cars have this these days, unfortunately. At least you can purchase Tesla's with a one-time payment where everyone else offers only subscriptions.

All features working right out of the box is a very advanced technology, leap years ahead of tesla swaticar.
