Living in Australia, I chose a BYD over a Tesla. After previously owning a Nissan Leaf, I can clearly see why BYD is leading the EV market.

Why?

    Not to mention that it doesn’t have the battery degradation that my leaf suffered from. Nissan engineers messed up big time by leaving proper battery thermal management, giving edge to newcomers like BYD.

    Price to build quality/package ratio. For AUD 36ks you can get a BYD Dolphin Premium with blade LFP battery, which will give you around 450 to 500ks of range.Why would you buy a Tesla?

      Yep. 20 years ago a Prius cost more then that new. Currently my next car will absolutely be a BYD.

      Tesla's charging infrastrucute is a competitive advantage.

      Tesla's software is light years ahead of any other car manufacturer.

      Tesla's safety rating is better than BYD.

      Just to name three.
