    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…

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