> where is BYD at with FSD?

I'm not sure about BYD, but other car makers have FSD that works like Tesla's FSD, and in some cases it even outperforms it. Here is a test from a few months ago:

The world is moving to EVs, ICE will mostly be collectors cars in 20 years in developed countries. As to Chinese sports cars Xiaomi SU7 Ultra: "June 2025, an unmodified SU7 Ultra (with a maximum 1,139 kW (1,527 hp; 1,549 PS) power) lapped the Nürburgring in a hair under 7 minutes, 5 seconds. It is not only faster than the fastest Tesla Model S Plaid and Porsche Taycan versions, but also faster than a Rimac Nevera, one of the most high-end and expensive electric sportscars."

U9 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yangwang_U9 is a supercar produced by BYD, fastest in the world.

"It achieved a maximum speed of 496.22 km/h (308.33 mph) at Germany’s ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg, making it the fastest car in the world and breaking the record previously held by the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ at 490.484 km/h (304.773 mph)"

This one is imo better comparison https://www.dongchedi.com/video/7530078571931435566 https://carnewschina.com/2025/07/24/chinas-massive-adas-test... Tesla won every category despite this being a test performed in China by Chinese outfit.

  • From what I can see, Tesla did not passed every test scenario, but it passed most of them (so it won): 5/6 in the first table (highway test) and 8/9 for the Tesla Model X in the second table (urban test), the two Chinese cars placed second and third with one less passed test than Tesla (7/9), while the Tesla Model 3 passed only 5/9. Interestingly, both Chinese cars passed the test that Tesla failed. Considering Tesla has millions more miles of driving data and more years of development, it seems like it's only a matter of time (with more data and iteration) before the Chinese cars pass the rest of remaining tests, which is great because competition is healthy.
