I bought a Sealion PHEV in January and absolutely love it.
of course, how many Tesla does BYD even sell?
Ah, the old car salesman lemmaroo!
Hold my key fob, I’m going in!
Hello, future people! :)
I wanted a Model 3, but by the time I could afford to buy the Performance model it turned out Musk was a dickhead. Couldn’t bring myself to buy something with his aura around it, no matter how good or goodn’t the car itself might be.
Then I found the BYD Seal - which also comes in a Performance model - for a comparative price. Also it comes with a HUD and indicators+wipers on stalks. And its subjectively a better looking car anyway.
So I bought one. Now every time Musk does something stupid I can say “wow, what a dickhead” and not feel like I’m letting “”“my team”“” down.
I don’t really understand how BYD is better than Tesla politically. Fuck Musk, but going from Musk to CCP doesn’t seem like an upgrade to me.
