BYD offers more discounts in quest to rid China of legacy auto

BYD is willing to discount as long as the Chinese government is willing to fund them.

Looks like BYD is going to destroy the legacy automacers sooner than we thought

It's still kinda expensive, 38k for the BYD dolphin in Australia, and similar for the MG 4, but the MG has better performance. But if you factor in savings in petrol and maintenance on an ICE, you'd recoup like 10k in 10 years.

I'm holding out until they get cheaper, or pick up a second hand EV many years later.

China is a socialist country, accessibility to goods for all citizens above all. China will certainly not change the political systems in the World but il will certainly change the nature of economy

BYD – We are the best and get rid of the rest 🤔👌

BYD looks Good! TESLA looks Best!

Since BYD have multiple sources of income from batteries to electic busses to trains etc... they can afford to do aggressive discounts to gain more and more market share. I heard BYD owns over 70% of their supply chains so, its obvious they wont be losing as much money as legacy auto-makers doing the same

BYD Thailand saga. Unhappy Buyers made an official complained to the Thailand Consumer tribunal. Tribunal made an investigation into matter. Tribunal found that there was NO CASE against BYD. Their Local Partner's Sales people made "Un true statements to push SALES ". BYD as a form of Good Will gave free Charging Credits to those affected.

I think the list of the 10 largest car manufacturers could end up with a lot of empty space after the first 2 or 3.

Any idea when BYD will be available in USA?

Looks like when I have said over and over that China uses slave labor, it turns out it is true. If you only read the formation document to china you would read it uses slave labor. They don't hide it at all. To say they don't use slaves is to simply lie.

China will burn itself to the ground shortly. Though all banking is slavery and the usa and every country is under slavery 100%, China has the worst slavery of all.

lol he said byd.. you mean the chinses goverment.... and wasnt byd the firm that yesterday was in your video with some wurk problems? maybe dont promote them every day

BYD are just doing good business. I remember run out model end of year sales with many legacy brands on ICE vehicles. I think it is great, especially if it helps a new Customer get into their first affordable new EV. Every day I drive my now 18 months BYD Atto 3, it still feels like I have just picked it up. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year 2025. Cheers from a town over the mountains who does not want a nuclear power plant built here.

Thank you to all car producers in reducing the prices. Always looking out for lower prices for all produces.

Always learn a lot from your videos)) But curious why no elizzarda mention? I just started with it and already see results!)

Great video! Since I signed up with you, my stress level has been pretty manageable, mostly thanks to the stable returns from Elizzarda.

The video is really informative, I’ll definitely subscribe to your channel! What do you think about elizzarda? How profitable is it?

Vikings in australia??? Real vikings don't bla bla bla.

Sam - Are warranties for electric vehicles generally better than for ICE vehicles?

Big YES BYD all the way 👍❤️🇨🇳

with the economic debacle in China right now - how are they selling cars?

just discovered this channel and can't have enough of it, thank you for your work!

Carsales in china has dipped every year in dec-feb. It's strange for a westener but it has something to do with the chinese new year.
Probably will this year to. My guess is that they are trying to fight this dip and hopefully spread out sales?

This is one thing I don't like about BYD. It is discounting too much, which is destroying the resale value of the cars (except if the car owner can use the same car/EV for 20+ years then the 20+ years car's resale value is usually very low).

THis isn't about "legacy" auto BYD is one' they've been in operation for 20 years making ICE and Junk electric trash that catch fire so frequently 10 of their dealerships burnt to the ground. What BYD is doing is cutting every cost; even using slave labor in Brazil trying to stay alive with CCP having subsidised 100 near brands that are all selling below cost to try and survive in a horrible race to the bottom. Few Chinese 100% BEV makes will survive this; as China is not likely to afford more subsidies to try and keep them all going. Most of these new makes will be in the trash bin inside of 2025.

I still think Tesla is 2030 champion, as same as the Sam's first prediction.

be great if byd opened car insurance in uk , solar panels on the cars would be awesome. like to see sodium batteries too . dont believe lithium has future

EU needs to stop screwing people over. If "our" auto companies can't compete with the chinese guys... tough noogies. Fire some CEO's, reduce the prices, wake the f up.
You can thank Ursula btw🤭

Wish they would do that in New Zealand

I prefer Geely's Zeekr models to BYD's. They look more refined and better engineered.

Correction: the CCP is increasing the subsidies to BYD.

BYD are also doing slave labor if you recall what they doing in Brazil. Chinese workers found in 'slavery-like conditions' Please don't buy BYD this is awful.

Take over then switch them off and invade😅fact

I believe some Chinese cars have the best battery(s) available equipped. Does the value of that battery and the other features of the car pay for the influence China will receive for your currency. Do you want them to gain that influence 🤔

BYD uses slave labor.

I live in South East Asia. I am planning to buy a BYD EV but the salesman advised me to wait until February 2025, because he said there might be a discount on BYD EVs. Now this channel is saying basically the same thing. I think I would wait until at least the end of January 2025 before getting the EV.

last year you're talking high on SAIC and this year on Geely.... we'll see what's next year's flavour

With massive govt subsidies, Chinese companies can dump cars, steel, EVs, windmills, solar panels or whatever they target to quash any foreign competition.... it's what they do

The top 10 in 2030 will all be Chinese. Toyota, VW and most other car companies will either disappear or on their way to disappear after bankrupting their governments in aids.

Any country could prop an industry. Instead Australia decided to pump up the property market

Ruthless byd

It even uses transitory PHEVs to take market share from legacy auto ASAP.

You can see that because if BYD would really believe that PHEVs have a long future there would be PHEV BYD buses as well. But there ain't.
