Nah you don’t get it, the design is a 1 to 1 rip off. I’ll have a quick look to see if I can find the post.

The tesla model S looks like a decade old eurospec Ford Mondeo.

Certainly look more alike than a porsche and a byd.

    The ford mondeo was 'inspired' by the Aston Martin Rapide. This was at a time when Ford owned Aston Martin. Fisker and Porritt, who worked at tesla when the model S came out, also worked for Ford/Aston Martin.
    
    It's not just me either. For example, here's a ten year old thread on the tesla forum which mentions it:

If you’re referring to the BYD U7 vs the Porsche Taycan, they both look like car. Beyond that, eh.

That is a different car brand, though?
