The number of BYD on fire videos, and examples where the tires simply fall off because they don't use enough metal in the suspension. Makes me scared to be anywhere near one of their vehicles. please keep them out of the USA for safety sake. That's 4.6M state sponsored vehicles that should not be on the road. Don't forget the chinese gov'ts ability to lock you out from driving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWzbq-Q_oTc

As opposed to using too much metal in the airbags of our cars ;)

I remain less scared of a foreign government than I do of my government that has effectively total control over my life.

BYD vehicles are sold in Europe where they have to meet safety requirements that are arguably more stringent than in the US.
