If BYD manage to sell more dolphins than VW sells ID3's, than BYD...

My point is I don't think they're going to get very far.

UK & EU place tariffs on Chinese cars to level the economic playing field between European and Chinese brands (a responsible use of tariffs in my eyes). So the economic incentive isn't there to choose BYD. Now it will come down to brand trust and car quality.

Even with dieselgate VW never lost it's image of building high quality cars.

We'll see how this plays out, they both are sure trying to sell their cars.
