BYD

cogman10

Nobody mentioned it, but CATL is basically the leader in battery tech ATM. They make even more batteries than BYD does and at one point were the primary supplier to BYD. I think they currently supply Tesla and a few other brands.

Smart-Chain

Oh dear. I'd love to see an attempt to build this into anything approaching a rational argument. For now, I think three letters from different industry are enough to debunk the statement: BYD

lowfrequencyinvst

Yeah it’s a bit under the radar. I feel like BYD goes under the radar a bit given the 100% tariff (effective ban) on it by the US, and the fact that for many ‘Tesla = all things EV and battery’

lowfrequencyinvst

Worth noting that a lot of the leading battery makers today are inside companies that do something else. E.g. BYD (the worlds largest electric car maker) started out as a battery maker for other electronics firms before honing its tech and capabilities and launching its own products (phones, consumer tech, eventually buses and cars). Now it employs over 100,000 engineers. So maybe a firm like that is the most likely to succeed.

bartturner

But should you be spending at the level of CapEx is your sales are declining? I could see it for say a BYD. They have a healthy increase in sales and now #6 and will be #2 within the next 2 years. Where Tesla was 15 and then 16 and now 17.

terraform0805

Could you point out in what aspects? I recognize these as highly speculative bets, which don't fit my style but I'm still interested to hear your thinking. TSLA seems to have lost all mooring from fundamentals and BYD is eating its lunch in every market its allowed in. I'm also concerned that Musk's volatility in the public eye and multiple companies vying for his attention is troubling for TSLA's core business. What's the bull case that doesn't depend on Gamestop-like meme stock performance? ASTS is finally in its execution phase which is exciting, but the balance sheet is too risky for me and I'm not confident it can stand up to Starlink. I'm assuming you think differently, why? Now OKLO I am interested in, but it's price to book is 18 compared to the sector median of 2, and it's not profitable, running a -6% loss compared to a sector median of +3%. When do you think it will reach profitability? Do you have any insights on its leadership?

Significant-Term6407

BYD is more worried about domestic competition than American makers

SangerGRBY

Anecdotal TSLA market share is decreasing at an unprecedented rate. The last time i saw a TSLA was last week. I only see BYDs now (Singapore). Asian prejudice is real, Singaporeans are calculative and also care about face. Us choosing BYD (china known for cheap not the best) over a TSLA cannot get anymore bearish. TSLA calls since bearish news.

DerpyNerdy

I recommend you develop a natural sense of curiosity about the world around you and find stocks on your own rather than relying on any platforms/individuals to do that for you. For example, you love watching YouTube and can't imagine living life without it, ask yourself "Is there a company making money from this?". I love using Gemini AI and I actually pay a monthly subscription for it, and I ask myself, "Who's getting paid for this?". Stock idea right there. For me, I live in Asia, and I noticed that BYD is the most popular EV brand, more than Tesla. Stock idea right there. My mom and my gf can't shut up about shows on Netflix. Stock idea right there. The best ideas in my experience, are ones that I see and use everyday. You just need to open your eyes.

CoughRock

are you blind ? new ev literally outnumber petro in china and eu, They would of taken over petro in the state if the current administration isnt so ideologically hostile to. I'm talking about BYD 200 mile range 20k ev without any subsidy. even cheaper than petro with gas subsidy. But current administration rather tariff it to the ass and give local car maker monopoly (which they dont want to make cheap ev and has cancel ev program). I guess give people cheap affordable ev they wanted is too much to ask. There is a reason why taco slap on a 4900% tariff on chinese renewable solar and battery product, and 900% tariff on battery graphite. Cheaper ev is just one friendly administration away.

Ascorbinium_Romanum

This is the idea and Chinese cars banned is going to be the nail in the American coffin lol. Ima be driving my BYD car across Europe then.

Interestingly_Quiet

Preface - i will hand it to Elon, he was a great hype man & did a great job recognizing the need for a charging network in the US. I think people are equating Elon's ancillary businesses with TSLA. TSLA has been overpriced for years, and I strictly sell TSLA options to gather up that IV. TSLA's cars are Sh\*t. The more I travel around the world, the fewer TSLAs I see.. compared to BYD, EU makers. Especially BYD. I recently rode in one, and I would say its quality is easily 5x greater than TSLA. They've also addressed Automotive Battery's performance in cold temps.. like the Nordic countries. I think it's a matter of time before the rest of the everyone figures out that TSLAs are crap & market share will dive

Bronze_Rager

You can make that argument. As an investor, I have no interest in someone who promises the world and always underdelivers. I prefer my CEO's to deliver as promised or over deliver. And its debatable on whether Tesla is going to outperform his competitors. BYD sells more EV's than Tesla by far and its only due to restrictive measurements from the US government that China doesn't dominate the US EV sector also. Waymo is way better FSD than Tesla and its unknown whether Tesla will ever achieve FSD because they don't rely on Lidar.

SangerGRBY

Elon really gets to treat the US as his plaything. If any other billionaire / politician / celebrity, pulls the stunts he did, they would have been either buried in lawsuits or cancelled. Being the world's richest autist does come with its perks. 1. Butchers a 10Y FSD lead to Waymo and EV lead to BYD. 2. Nazi Salute 3. DOGE Regardness 4. Called out a president for being in the Epstein file 5. Overpays for twitter and fails to rebrand it as 'X' 6. Spends his time posting shitty AI generated videos thinking it is cutting edge Bring back the old Elon, fire his current PR manager.

aaaaji

Elon Musk has a history of basically taking the proceeds from his successful businesses and betting big on a few moonshot ideas (and himself). Right now I think the bull case is: 1. The charging network 2. Robotaxis and FSD 3. Chinese EVs canny be sold in US. So Tesla still has a bit of a moat there against BYD. 4. The humanoid robots So there are a few things there that, if they come off will give Tesla a massive advantage in the future. Most of those won’t, but if even one does then Tesla is in a good position. I’m not arguing whether this is true or not, just stating the bull case for Tesla bulls.

SangerGRBY

Elon has completely ruined Tesla. Gave up a 10Y FSD lead to Waymo. Gave up affordable EVs to BYD, if BYD was allowed to sell in US who tf would buy a TSLA. If TSLA were to be banned in China who tf would buy a TSLA. Sex dolls are just a remote controlled gimmick. SpaceX is attractive, but money hole and sepeeate entity now. TSLA has a negative shitstorm ahead of it.

SangerGRBY

TSLA inferior to BYD. SpaceX only shoots their own payloads RKLB, ASTS ahead. No other pump material

ForceGoat

Doesn’t BYD have a somewhat capable self driving mode? While I haven’t seen good self driving come out of Ford, Toyota, VW, etc.  I always thought the Western companies were waiting for Tesla to finalize their FSD to then license it for “cheap”

BigGain_Shrek

Teslas Elon musk brushed off NVDA self driving . Claiming they are 5/6 years away… That’s what he said about BYD, they are now selling more cars than him. 

Merchant1010

Since China has overtaken Japan has biggest car sellers in the world, companies like these are very attractive. Xiaomi, BYD, Leapmotors to name a few have got significant market share. Positive on this sector.

PrehistoricNutsack

i mean BYD is better in almost every category lol

dont_downvote_SPECIL

Nvidia isn’t making cars or running a robo-taxi service. That’s the good news for Tesla and Waymo, two self-driving leaders. The bad news is that the proliferation of Nvidia’s technology could crowd the robo-taxi field. Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, and BYD are among the auto makers using Nvidia’s Thor. Mercedes’ CLA vehicles are launching Tesla-like driving options this year.

WaIlstreetBots

What’s the point? Couldn’t buy a BYD if I wanted to.

WaIlstreetBots

As far as I’m concerned, they are functionally the same. I’ve sat in many a BYD, they are fine.

NYSE_941_Gray

No it’s because the Chinese made products are garbage - especially BYD

pink_ego_box

This company is dead already (everybody's eating their lunch, BYD, Geely, Chery, VW, Hyundai, even fucking Xiaomi) so of course it's only -0.5% down pre-market. The only reason for that is because most market investors are Americans and their country have communist rules that forbids the import of Chinese EVs

nightfalllily1900

I will never buy BYD, just like Buffett never buys Toyota. Not to mention that BYD hasn't reached the level Toyota did back then. The car industry is an "extremely tough" industry, it doesn't matter who wins. but if u just want to rant about TSLA, then fine, agreed.

ThatFUTGuy

Tesla went the wrong way with FSD when lidar is blatantly superior and they make inferior quality cars with regarded price tags BYD vehicles literally shit all over tesla (PUTS)

NewDawn101

That new BYD super car YoungWank is what Tesla roadster would have been

Significant-Term6407

And Elon said, A camera only system is far more scalable than lidar. This is the word of our lord. Amen. The Chinese can never create a camera only autonomous system through BYD because they do not have faith in Teslam. And we pray.

Bulky_Dingo_4706

EVs are expensive to insure, heavy, have batteries that degrade and are expensive to replace, suck on road trips due to charging time, and are a soulless driving experience. It’s like operating an appliance/microwave; not a real driving experience. If you have any interest in actual cars, you’ll know this. They had to give everyone a tax credit just to sell them to people. Since that went away, sales have declined. As expected. Tesla in itself is no longer an EV leader. BYD has already overtaken them. China is a huge threat. Best to hop off Elon’s you know what and his huge list of broken promises. The Cybertruck is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.

Bulky_Dingo_4706

BYD already overtook Tesla in sales. It's only downhill from here. People don't want EVs anymore in America. It already has a hilariously overvalued P/E ratio.

DogNamedFloppy

BYD overtook Tesla? I’m gonna buy TSLA even harder!

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has fully exited Chinese automaker [BYD](https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/26/cars/china-byd-profile-tesla-rival-intl-hnk), a filing showed, ending a 17-year investment that grew over 20-fold in value in that period.

It looks like theyre going full hog into electricity. Theyre building 27 nuclear power plants, and full sending BYD So maybe uranium refining- but its already pumped this year

fpsstreak

It’s different now. BYD sold more cars than Tesla. Even morning star puts it at $300 at its best. Maybe I will be cooked…or a bit more wealthy putting a call. The best thing this stock has is its cult following for musk.

aphel_ion

and now that the roles are reversed, the USA is letting BYD in so we can learn from the best and feel the competition... right? no we banned them from selling here

Petit_Nicolas1964

Globally 40% more sales than Tesla, BYD is now also ahead in Europe.

DoublePatouain

where ? in China ? in south est asia ? or india ? In America, can you see BYD ? In Europe, they are doing everything to block chinese cars.

Petit_Nicolas1964

Sure and BYD sold around 40% more EVs than Tesla in 2025 and is manufacturer Nr.1 for pure EVs globally in 2025.

Fancy-Invite8388

I see. Its pure electric range is 51 km, but this car doesn't have a gearbox. BYD's hybrid only has one gear.

Fancy-Invite8388

BYD's new energy vehicles don't have a gearbox. You're not driving a gasoline car, are you? BYD's gasoline cars are indeed not very good."

No-Hawk9008

They only place Tesla is #1 in sale is the US. They lost to VW in Europe and BYD to China.

No_Honeydew_2453

This was a long time coming. BYD has better vertical integration, sales, and top and bottomline growth. Was just a matter of time till their cheaper valuation was realised by the market. How long they can sustain this position with the uncertainty in the markets is another question.

horraz

I live in Norway, almost every electric bus is BYD made. More and more BYD cars on the road. They are here already.

bartturner

You nailed it. But add a bunch more countries. Phillippines for example. I live half time US and other half Bangkok. I now have three Thai friends that have purchased BYDs. None have purchased Teslas. They love their BYDs. One purchased a Seal. Another a Dolphin and the third the new Sea Lion that is all electric that replaced the hybrid. But I was in Manilla earlier this year and saw the Tang. Wow! Just amazing. I had not seen them in Bangkok but it is the BYD I want. The BYDs are a lot nicer than the Teslas. Specially the interiors.

HoneyImpossible2371

It’s a subtle dig at TSLA while also acknowledging the phenomenal success of their main competitor, BYD, whom Warren Buffet invested in 2008 for $230M and exited successfully for a 20-fold gain this September. Musk said Buffett’s investment philosophy was “pretty boring” and “lame”. BYD stands for Build Your Dream. The 100% tariff on Chinese electric cars imports is protection for Elon.

Rivian's share price no longer reflects the company's current and future revenues. It's highly speculative, especially in the American market where the EV market is saturated. Chinese manufacturers like Xpeng, Nio, Xiaomi, Li Auto, and BYD have all increased their sales. Fortunately, the automotive market isn't a free market.

“BYD also reported profit declines for both the second and third quarters of 2025.” “BYD achieved the latest milestone while grappling with fierce competition and relentless price wars in its home market.” “Growth in BYD’s overall sales, including EVs and hybrids, slowed to its weakest pace in five years, with more than 4.6 million vehicles sold last year – underscoring the company’s struggles in China” “has prompted the Shenzhen-based company to expand further overseas, though its low-price strategy has drawn scrutiny and led to new tariffs” That last bit is important as Europe is figuring out they don’t want subsidized crap dumped in their market and Trump doesn’t like that either. They may be selling cars domestically but their profitability and able to grow profits is a big question mark, especially with the market over there. It’s such a highly speculative bet you’d have to be both fully regarded and completely out of Ritalin and Adderall. Good luck.

InterimOccupancy

Tesla lost the top spot to BYD. I guess having a part time ceo with a trillion dollar pay package isn't working out. Shocker

BigGain_Shrek

Tesla reported a second year in a row of annual sales declines after a tumultuous year for the automaker marked by brand damage, loss of incentives and increased competition for its aging lineup. Annual deliveries for the Austin-based automaker fell 8.6% to 1.64 million in 2025. Fourth-quarter sales also tumbled 16% to 418,227 vehicles. The results mean Tesla ceded the title of world’s top seller of electric cars to Chinese rival, BYD Co., squandering a lead the Elon Musk-led company built as it popularized plug-in vehicles over the past decade.

ControlAgreeable4180

If berkshire exited fully awhile back, they definitely know BYD is going to have a hard time too. 1. BYD is facing alot of domestic competition. 2. Their supply chain financing (essentially interest free loans fostered on the backs of suppliers) which super charged their expansion is being reined in by the government. 3. Their main market is still China which is also reducing car subsidies starting this year. 4. Cracking down on zero-mileage 2nd hand cars. Many headwinds for BYD.

NotEasyOne_Regard

BYD was, is not and will not be a TSLA killer on stock market. Can we get over it?

VancityRenaults

BYD is struggling domestically just like all Chinese EV companies. They make almost no profit on local sales and a lot of their sales numbers are propped up by their distributors who are forced to buy the cars and immediately sell them on the market as “zero km” second hand cars. There’s a Chinese term called “nei juan” which is used to describe this situation where the domestic competition is so fierce that the winner ends up with a Pyrrhic victory because they have to nearly bankrupt themselves to win.

Have you driven a Tang or SeaLion and actually compared it to a Tesla? It is not like it is close. The BYD are far nicer than what you get from Tesla. I know because I have driven both and actually own a Tesla.

imjustsurfin

I'm shocked! Bearing in mind ***the abysmal*** safety and quality record of BYD (and other manufacturers) EV's in China, I don't understand why the Chinese are still buying their cars. Exploding batteries; spontaneous combustion; door handles that can't\\wont open; navigation that doesn't work; self-driving mode that mistakes **a poster** of a person FOR A REAL PERSON, and executes an emergency stop IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!!; automatic emergency braking systems that don't work; airbags that don't deploy; cars that rust if a drop of water hits them... The list endless. Piss-poor quality. Virtually non-existent customer support; BYD are even suing BYD car owners for posting reviews critical of BYD cars\\support; In China, video's that are critical of BYD are being deleted by the CCP. It boggles my brain why anyone *would even think about* buying a car from such a company.

ConversationLow9545

>Even BYD the best of the bunch is flat since late 2021 underperforming the market Y? They make great cars and charging

StaticSystemShock

Good. Tesla is so overinflated and overvalued it's wild, not to mention their interior design, particularly dashboard is just horrendous and they've not really innovated with anything for years, other than just promising things and then never delivering them. Also F Elon Musk. What an absolute douchebag. China has come a long way from "Made in China means cheap and crappy" to some of incredible products that rival the best from the rest of the world. Of all Chinese car brands BYD seems to be the most highlighted. I'm still driving petrol car, but when time will be to switch to EV I'll be looking at BYD, Xiaomi and Hyundai. Assuming Xiaomi will make anything smaller and cheaper than their flagship S7 and will be present in EU... Hyundai on the other hand has been sort of a quiet leader in EVs. They've been making Ioniq EV for ages and while it wasn't making any headlines, it was apparently pretty nice EV. However that entirely changed with introduction of Ioniq 5 which has been highly praised as one of the best EVs out there in pretty much all aspects, range, the way it drives, the way it looks, how practical it is and how reliable Hyundai is in general. Inster seems to be quite popular too though I'm waiting for Ioniq 3 and Ioniq 2 eventually rolling out as 5 is just too expensive for my needs and Inster looks too funky for my liking. I'd prefer i20 or i30 format of EV car with current more conservative but modern Ioniq styling. But yeah, BYD is absolutely on my radar and apparently they are coming in my country this year. So, we'll see.

battlebomb

We rented them while working in the Middle East for 6 months. One of the engines blew up on the BYD song after 2 months (brand new car). And another got bricked due to an electrical issue. I would never EVER buy one, but leasing them is ok. It was decent when it was working, if uninspiring.

Sea-Environment-5938

This is a significant milestone, but not a sudden shift. BYD's rise reflects years of vertical integration, cost control, and strong domestic policy support. Tesla still leads in margins, software, and brand globally, but BYD is clearly setting the pace on scale and affordability. The EV race is no longer just about technology, it's about execution.

Tian_Lei_Ind_Ltd

BYD is big in it's homemarket and rising in developing economies, but still "struggling" or more precisely, prohibited in major developed economic zones like Europe. They can sell a lot of cars in China, North America is closes for businessx, but as long as they can't crack Europe, it's growth will be limited.

ClaytonRook

Ba ba ba BYD to the bone!

Mariox

I would note BYD numbers include hybrids, not just EVs and that BYD sells cars to the low income car buyer while Tesla sells to the mid to high income buyer. BYD missed their 2025 guidance by 20% But this does not matter because Tesla had already shifted focus to robotaxi. If Tesla's focus was still on maximizing deliveries they would have lowered prices to increase sales. The reality is, Tesla is priced in the $400's because of the value the market is putting Tesla's robotaxi and optimus.

Palentirian

Tesla has realized it is no longer a competitive car company. BYD beat Tesla hands down. About time, folks, let’s move on to the new shiny thing, Humanoid - with balls of steel, literally! Tesla fans, as stupid they are, will keep the new hype alive for next 10-12 years, just like they did for Tesla cars and FSD (Fake Self Driving). 🤣

**BYD Seagull** Around $13,500 - $19,500 USD, depending on configuration and timing down in Mexico. US vehicles cannot even come close to that price point. People that want one will jump through hoops, to buy one "Ahem" used (if its the 2nd owner.. its used, even with zero miles) And will get it to the US under one of the iffy ways like "show or exhibition, or race vehicle" I mean the Ford CEO drove a Xiaomi Speed Ultra 7 for more than 6 months.. US car manufacturers are about to be facing a serious wake up when these take away export numbers.

Inevitable-Scar5877

No. What should be a lot more worrying is that this isn't only because BYD is growing-- Tesla is contracting with vehicle sales declining each of the last 2 years since peaking on 2023.

Robodr0ne

How many robotaxis and humanoid sold would justify current TSLA valuation and comp package? I mean, BYD is already #1, and looking at the Chinese robot YT clips...things seem to end up as usual in terms of production scale.

Formal-Apartment855

I haven't actually used a BYD so I don't know what languages are installed, but I'm sure they support a lot of languages and date formats and the likes, as I see these cars all over the EU these days. (Navigation on the other hand sounds like it could be a headache.)

I’m in Australia and used to think Chinese EV’s were shit quality and still think most of the brands produce rubbish but BYD’s build standards and price point is pretty bloody good.
