250kw in 2020 vs 1000kw (4x) in 2025. When is Tesla coming out with a 1MW charger?
Sell your stock if you're still making that mistake.
I almost want even larger, more powerful vehicle than my Model Y. But can’t imagine dealing with its software and uncertain future. Also I’d rather support Musk than Chinese.
I drove Atto3, which is older vehicle now. UX is nowhere close to Tesla, but I’m keen to try newer ones.
There are other EV makers out there, you know.
Ford had some good clearance discounts on Mach-E (same with Polestar) here, made it a reasonable deal.
Rivian seems expensive in US to start with, in NZ it's waaaay past most peoples buying power.
Dunno if Chevy is available here at all.
Some of Tesla vehicles are as innovative as ridiculous and illegal(in many countries).
The most notable areas where BYDs are still not competitive with Tesla are the interior (fit and finish is worse, the styling is unrefined and busy), the software (a buggy lightly skinned version of android), the suspension (BYD feels floaty whereas the Model Y feels grounded and responsive), and parts availability. If something goes wrong with BYDs in Australia, you can be without a car for months while waiting for parts to slowly steam across the ocean.
The BYD is cheaper, but only by about 10%, which is not enough in my view to offset the overall feeling of still being a work in progress.
That said, I really hate the onscreen gear selector in the Model Y. I’m fine with most controls being onscreen but I want a physical control for gear slection.
I've never been in a BYD(hard to get in Switzerland), but I've been in all the Teslas. The Tesla build quality is atrocious when compared to BMW, Mercedes or Audi. Are you saying BYD is worse than that?
