Comment on Elon Musk demands another huge payday from Tesla
KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 1 year agoIf BYD was available in the US (and i’m certain BYD is looking into how to get here, probably the same trick Renault tried with Saturn and ultimately Mitsubishi) they would probably saturate the market, because at the very least, they’re affordable. Nobody in Detroit or Wolfsburg will make a cheap EV because Tesla spooked the market into being a luxury thing.

Renault tried it with AMC first and didn’t “succeed“ until merging with Nissan and then Mitsubishi as well. BYD should probably try to buy out them, or somehow license to Stellantis to give them small cars worth buying. I bet an EV Neon would sell if it was remotely affordable (I know, no new cars are affordable to younger drivers, even if it’s a cheap BYD underneath).
