For the first time, Chinese automaker BYD has overtaken Tesla, as the world’s best-selling producer of electric vehicles.
It delivered more than its US-based rival in the last quarter of 2023 – although Tesla managed to hold on to its crown for sales throughout the year.

China has the right to defend itself
Warren Buffet built BYD with his capital .
Everything China has is a gift from the west
❤❤❤sun
Congratulations to China. ❤
if b y d can come to canada I will buy one
North America trade agreement imposes the huge tax on EV imports
I do not think US would agree with that.
And they are much cheaper. And their CEO is not arrogant!
So is the quality, workmanship and battery warranty exclusions. Such as the first 30% range loss due to battery degradation excluded from the manufacturers warranty, algorithm programs shortening range to reduce degradation and range depletion in extreme temperatures.
Clueless comment. They actually produce most of their EVS in a $10,000 to $25,000 range. And in terms of pure EVS not hybrids, they did not sell more Vehicles than tesla. Elon for sure is complicated
Well said!
Lol
I said it because I know very well that you can buy an electric car in china starting at $7000!!
Superb. It’s better to use chinese products instead of western products, who sponsor colonisation n genocide in occupied Palestine
Congratulations China….
Meanwhile India became leading hate industry of world.😢
Tesla should refresh their line-up, it’s been around for awhile.
Why nobody wants a Tesla anyway!
byd sells alot of models including hybrid . dont think they are in such great condition
Byd’s hybrid is different with others. They have bigger batteries. Byd Customer usually use electricity in the city and gas on the highway.
Not in great condition?
Even Elon planned to cut prices to compete with them lol
For the whole of 2023, BYD sold 1.5M BEVs compared to Tesla’s 1.8M. If hybrids are included, BYD sold 3M cars in total. Their qualities are also great and you can check that out here on YouTube.
BYD is the inventor of PHEV.
Elon Musk has been trying to convince Tesla customers to shop elsewhere for a couple of years now, the customers have finally heard his message.
Yep, I’m on board with anybody but Tesla. Being a d bag has consequences.
Xiaomi🎉❤
Check the Electric Viking on this… Many in the Media are including *hybrids* when they make these claims
Game over pale European lol… soon china wont be the factory of the world…
Congrats to BYD!!! Keep doing and you will be the next Toyota! Bringing more better products!!!
China opened its market for Tesla, then BYD grew into the number 1, while the US implied protectionism and Tesla lost its crown. It’s educational.
It is free market Capitalism, only as long as the west produces superior products. Looks like USSR was right all along.
现在的美国就像100年前的中国，历史的轮回！
yes
CCP isn’t protectionist? 😂@@user-cj5zq1sj5r
Boycott Teala for supporting genocide by the Zionist
Show us the fields of registered BYD’s that helped them achieve this, lets put this in perspective
😂😆
Woke alert XD….
A FLG news fed cl0wn is here
More misleading clickbait garbage.
Son, stand up, crying is not helping.
You are a crazy Tesla fanboy!
Congrats 👏
BYD is belongs to Chinese government. I do not care about all Chinese business. Everything is controlled by CCP 😮😮😮😮😮
🎉👏
Arrogance of Elon Musk must be his downfall. He laughed when someone asked if BYD was a real threat to Tesla. That is what they call karma….
If you’ve follow Elon since the start of tesla than you’ll know his goal in starting ev car. You may say that he’s arrogant, but it’s a natural trait for someone that’s successful and confidence. Read about the psychological of arrogance and maybe you’ll understand. Or you can watch sports player 😊
China BYD has an advantage of labor forces so I think they will surpass Tesla anytime, however I still take Tesla over BYD in term of quality, superior features, and software control. The plan for cheap $25K model is in the work and when it’s ready and with tax credit it will sell like cup cake. As always competition is good for consumer.
“Quality” yet how many incidents cause by Tesla 😂
你了解中国的电动车厂家么？他们的生产线已经很少有工人了。中国的汽车成本控制绝不在人力，而是完整庞大的产业链，更新你的认知吧😂😂😂
Tesla made in china exports to the Europe and Middle East
You should buy and hold tech stock Crypto investment
There are many interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don’t have to act on every forecast, so I’ll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire
You should know it’s easy and hard to make that much profit. I say EASY because it’s very possible to make that much, and Hard because you’ll need professional assistance to do it, I’d suggest you get assisted by a market advisor.
I’m an advocate for having a diverse investment strategy. I grew to a 6 figure mark with my portfolio having exposure to different areas of the market, including small and large-caps of the ETF index, blue chip stocks, coins, grade bonds and alternatives like cryptocurrency markets, as this helps manage the overall risk on my portfolio managed by my FA.. Credits to my adviser, Jasper, i have no doubt investing more
This is impressive how could someone go about getting investment guidance from a coach like that, would you mind sharing your coach~info?
Usa is biggest evil
I would never buy a Tesla because of Elon musk
Always Support China over USA
US will be first to deploy while china will be first to popularise
Or in case of BYD, the first to deploy AND popularize. The BYD F3DM was actually the first mass produced PHEV in the entire world, launched in 2008. And the BYD E6 was amongst the first mass produced mainstream BEV in the world, when it launched around 2010/2011, along with the Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S.
😮
We love BYD ❤❤
The artifacts of Western supremacy are being smashed by China.
We’ll find out in the long run
I would have kept my BYD shares but I couldn’t stomach the Political foolishness being imposed by the WEST towards China
Ah but will a BYD car mow down pedestrians for you while you’re asleep at the wheel before catching on fire allowing you to deftly avoid culpability in death?
That will be a new feature in the ev mustang
China is on
Glad to see the dethroning of the musky Musk. Musk is a Trump clone, albeit not with the abnormal brain. Indoctrinated in apartheid, growing up in South Africa, racism and hatred are in Elon Musk’s bones.
石油危機が起きたら、太陽光と風力で走らせればいい。
航続距離が短ければ、トレイン＆レンタカーでカバーすればいい。
Congratulation, BYD!!!!
The BYD costs 2/3 of the Tesla Model 3. That’s pretty damned difficult to compete with.
But that’s cause China controls the materials/ production and the labor is cheap.
My new Cadillac Lyriq’s components were made mostly in China.
Cry west 😂😂😂😂😂
Where are the Tesla fanboys?
USA then: World needs free market and free trade Capitalism.
USA now: China makes superior products now, so the world needs prorectionist and severe taxation policies.
Tesla produced 1.8 million EV Cars in 2023 , and 53% of these were coming out from their Shanghai Factory in China .
China will be the biggest EV Cars producers in 2024 .
中国已经好几年是最大电动汽车生产国了😂😂😂
Super achievement by China 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Wait, the US will soon claim that BYD produces military equipment and is a “security threat” and will sanction it…
HUAWEI is joining the competition too. Tesla is damned!
Most are powered by coal fired ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION
Byd❤
Saat nya beli saham byd
All though the ev market is wonderful its still a cost. Parts, batteries, electric
Slave labor to mine it, cheap labor to make it and your children to figure out how to dispose of it because it’s not cost efficient in the end.
It that really a surprise? China will own the auto industry within the next 15 years, maybe even sooner. Hard working, smart, innovative people will succeed. And no sanction will stop them. In fact it will encourage them to work harder. And for those who say it’s bc of cheap labor, have a look at production lines in BYD. You almost see no humans. It’s something straight out of Minority Report. China is showing us the future.
😂😂😂 exploding BYD
so, us style of mass production on finite resources, is just transferring elsewhere.. (same ‘attitudes’ too, in some?)..
