Chinese company BYD has moved a step closer to toppling Elon Musk’s Tesla as the world’s biggest-selling manufacturer of electric vehicles.
The firm said on Monday it had sold a record 526,000 battery-only vehicles in the last three months of 2023.
…
For the year as a whole, Shenzen-based BYD said it had sold more than 3 million so-called-new energy vehicles (NEVs), which includes battery-only vehicles and hybrids.
Almost 1.6 million of its total sales were battery-only vehicles, the firm said.
Industry analysts have forecast that Tesla sold around 483,000 electric vehicles in the last three months of 2023 and 1.82 million for the year as a whole.
You still can’t buy byd cars outside China can you? Or do they export to some places?

Hoping for an estate model
They were advertising in the Mexico City Airport yesterday when I was there.
Quite a few here in Australia.
They’re advertising on TV in the UK, so guessing they’re at least at preorder stage.
I can buy one here in Malaysia.
Going from bad to worse in terms of privacy.
I didn’t realize China had already copied Tesla’s product. Absolute lol at M*** for heavily manufacturing there (not just parts, but everything). Copy, paste, rename… BYD.
