BYD selling cars in south Africa whilst mf here can't make car payments

[Scustin Bieburr]

Can we get cheaper models of american cars? CEOS:

Okay well can we at least buy cheaper Chinese electric cars? Or more infrastructure to charge our EVs?Congress:

Okay but at least build some factories here so we can get people working and we can export our cars to compete?

Both:

Damn near every third new car in Colombia is a BYD. They're building BYD buses in Bogota.

Those could have been GM cars if our government wasn't run by short bus passengers

man I predict that China will soon run the developing world market, european cars will run their market and a couple a wealthy former colonies and america will have maybe the us canadian and maybe isreal.

Not only of chinese cars cheaper but they have reassembly and spare parts facilities in these countries not too many Ford plants outside of america now. I was talking to a deported guy here and he said another dude came from the states and shipped his Range Rover to Colombia but he had to get rid of it because spare parts where so expensive here.

Meanwhile there's Chinese and Japanese showrooms all over the place. They even sell cars at one of the malls down here.

I guess america is fine with ceding this huge market to the chinese.

they sell BYD cars in Ivory Coast too

Like I said they're gonna dominate the world market like the japanese did 40 years ago. They might have an assembly plant in Nigeria somewhere.

Well what do you expect . People in the US taking out 7yr car loans for a F150 that's 100k .

it actually wouldn't be GM.... by their choice


BYD has brand new vehicles that retail for under 10k usd.

even if one doesn't want these cars, the downward pressure would drive the entire car price market way down. even the used hoopties and beaters

GM and us auto business doesn't want that. the US is keeping car prices artificially high and imposing these difficulties on us. (other commodities too... housing Healthcare onward)

a bipartisan commitment at that. for all yall who rather throw "bothsides" around instead of engaging with substance and nuance (not you in particular... jus sayin)

I saw one in Mexico brand new, all black. mans was cruising nice, probably only paid 10k for it.

I was taking Uber rides in BYD vehicles in Brazil…

There’s assembly plants in São Paulo and Bahia.

Look how clean the BYD Sealion looks and how cheap it is with legit good electric engine and components

my homegirl lives there. she said so many people bought BYD that Tesla lowered their prices just to compete cause everyone was buying one.

If you don't make that much money, this is just a great substitute, even if it does blow up, how much are chinese parts? like buying legos, probably have your car serviced in a week for $200
