    and how many has BYD accrued and sold? they’re available to BYD every bit as much as Tesla.

    Musk is a nazis, and he profits every second from Tesla. but that doesn’t make BYD the good guys.

      AFAIK you can’t get BYD Atto3 in USA or any other ordinary BYD car, because USA won’t allow competition, and has posted steep tariffs on cars from China and EU.
      So how the fuck would BYD have received carbon credits for 10 years where thy haven’t been able to sell cars in USA?

      Tesla is every bit as protected and subsidized as any Chinese brand.

        BYD has yet to submit vehicles for FMVS certification. At least as far as passenger vehicles go.

        We do have BYD commercial vehicles. Mostly buses, including the largest order for buses- in LA’s transit system… which, to be clear would make it eligible to sell carbon credits from CA’s carbon regulation…

          BYD has yet to submit vehicles for FMVS certification.

          And why would they do that? Kind of hard to compete with 200% tariffs on.

      BYD actually pay tax though which funds other things. How much has Tesla paid?
