I live in Punta del Este, we just bought a Geely and a BYD (both) coming from a VW ID.3.

For BYD, a Dolphin 2027 for 21K + VAT. Insane value, by extreme far the best price-perf vehicle in the country’s history. Has every single little thing you might want. For that size and price, at least.

Notably, Tesla is attempting to destabilize the local market, coming in at 30K+VAT for the Premium Model Y which is cheaper than the US, Europe and pretty much anywhere.

I still prefer BYD by far, and not supporting the “controversial fellow”.

At a 20x electricity to gas price ratio (depending on factors, but yes), EVs are key here.
