Get fucked, Elon lol
Worth mentioning that the title is somewhat click baity. BYD is expected to overtake Tesla this quarter, but hasn’t happened yet.
Will happen sooner or later though, imagine still selling the same old models after all these years, while pouring all your resources at:
- An experimental pickup truck that nobody appears to like
- A convertible sports car that will surely do well in this economy (Might be 400IQ play though, when it’s out in 10 years, perhaps the demand for such a thing is up again)
- A semi truck. Where weight and endurance is the key and the exact things battery powered cars are terrible at.
Also brands selling everyday cars is almost guaranteed to out sell a more “premium” brand(well, I suppose the only thing premium about a Tesla is the price tag, but that’s how they position themselves). Just compare Toyota and BMW. Surprised it didn’t happen sooner.

The Tesla Semi actually does work economically for shorter routes. The massive savings in fuel costs makes it worth it.

Elon Musk bows to the Xi god
This is nice but do theirs explode? Not interested if not
EVs are not more likely to catch on fire than gasoline/diesel vehicles.

And think about it. In a gasoline car, you literally have a tank filled with highly flammable and explosive liquid. The exploding EVs myth is a marketing ploy by oil companies to discourage EV adoption.
idk about EVs but Teslas have put on some dazzing displays of molten lithium
From the MotorTrend article:
According to MSB data, there are nearly 611,000 EVs and hybrids in Sweden as of 2022. With an average of 16 EV and hybrid fires per year, there’s a 1 in 38,000 chance of fire. There are a total of roughly 4.4 million gas- and diesel-powered passenger vehicles in Sweden, with an average of 3,384 fires per year, for a 1 in 1,300 chance of fire. That means gas- and diesel-powered passenger vehicles are 29 times more likely to catch fire than EVs and hybrids.
Tesla, being the largest EV brand, is included in this statistic.
wake me up when dji starts making cars.
