    I’d still buy a Toyota/Lexus over a similarly priced BYD just because of the reliability track record of Toyota

      Similarly priced? Nah mate

      You gotta pay x2 for a Toyota with half of BYD features

        What features would those be and how is it that Chinese manufacturers can sell them at 1/4th the price of anyone else?

            And massive subsidies for Chinese national brands.

            I’m really curious about the features though because I’ve seen numerous comments here and other places about how Chinese EVs are so “advanced” and full of features but nobody ever seems to be able to name even one specific advancement or feature when asked.

        Have fun Burning Your Driveway and getting no warranty. Dont worry, it runs out after 20,000 miles, just ask the company.
