I could see them mixing up a previous one with the MG trial seeing as the only differentiator is often the name the disease they're focusing on. I appreciate your insights.

I’m in Australia, so I get to see first hand what the global EV market looks like, and BYD now outsells Tesla here. I own a Model 3 and MG4.
Bears literally the opening scene to Saving Private Ryan when the boat ramp doors drop on the beach. JPow and bulls in the bunkers with full auto MG 42 loaded with green dildies.

310 MG per patty isnt that much, an average burger anywhere else has between 385 mg of sodium to 500 plus. Which also, isnt that much considering its going to be a full meal. 1 teaspoon of sodium is about 2300 mgs, aka your daily nutrition limit recommended. Ive also worked at steakhouse, before I started learning nutrition and dietitian guidelines.. if you have a burger in a good steakhouse, the whole side of the patty will be salted, which is about 1/2 tablespoon plus.. 2-3 x bigger than your recommendation.. and since its frozen or refrigerated and doesnt need added for shelf stability, alot of that sodium comes from the natural ingredients.. which all ingredients do have.
They are gaining huge traction in Mexico. I recently got an Uber that was a BYD Dolphin mini, it was a great car. Several ofher Chinese brands have entered Mexico but BYD and MG are definitely the winners. Both are now common sights in Mexican cities, with MG coming first but BYD quickly matched the pace.
Fake news. MG-sensei's power was growing too fast so the lamestream media had to sully his good name. TRUST IN HIM
My brain read your comment as advice to buy a convertible MG, and I pictured one of those tiny British cars No idea why
Nice buying a transferable MG or something with a super safety or just being a boring old cuke
Stelantis? Nobody likes stelantis failing brands im Europe. Fiat, Alfa, Citroën, Opel.. CEO must be joking taking shots at Tesla when they didn't achieved even 30% what Tesla did. You like it or hate on Tesla/Musk but as investors we should take non biased views not noise by competitors. We don't know what is now in Tesla pipeline as current models was designed 10 years ago. Show me which BYD model is superior to Tesla. Did you drove one? Dolphin is a bucket, Seal mmm closest to model 3, Atto 3, Sealion like MG. Looks like all Chinese brands share and use same platforms designed by subcontractors from Germany (BYD use german engineers and design teams). Tesla in Europe currently is best value for your buck, especially 2-3y uaed vwhicles directly from Tesla. How it drives, Supercharger network, warranty, tech, range etc etc.
Did you ever driven BYD? Show me which chinese EV in Europe now is superior to Tesla or any german EV? BYD dolphin bucket, Seal mmm close to Model 3 but shit tech, no charging infrastructure etc etc. Cross over atto 3 not close to Model Y, Sealion copy of MG. Looks like all 🇨🇳 here has same platforms developed by subcontracted german engineers and designers. You hate or like Tesla but at the moment it is best value for your buck. Especially with 2-3y used vehicles directly from Tesla with warranty.
Yeah I definitely see more BYDs than MGs now. A few years ago I would have said MG
Even more than the fully electric MG?
The Planet Money podcast recently did an episode on the Treasury Basis Trade, which is my guess is what your YouTube video \*might\* be referring to. It is pretty informative and I can away from it thinking that it is not going to take down the government with any higher likelihood than anything else Wall Street is doing.

In Italy, I saw massive proliferation of BYD and MG cars - both electric and diesel. Signs are there 🔮
Im bored, let it happen. The MG42 is ready.
I was in a chat room that has a guy/feed that calls out Press Releases as they are published. So the mybread the headline “MIRA announced drug MG-55 or whatever, better results than morphine”. Quickly looked up the ticker and it was still trading around its daily range of $1.30s but was already starting to pop with volume. Got in around $1.40 but averaged up a couple times before selling most of my position at 2.75

MG is really surprising considering I see more and more on the road here in Germany. BYDs are still pretty uncommon.
Correct, Volkswagen and Cupra grew faster than BYD if you compare Q1 2025 vs. Q1 2024, both in absolute and relative terms. Renault, Kia and Skoda outgrew BYD in absolute numbers only. BMW actually didn't do too well, unless you include Mini. Undoubtedly Tesla is the big loser relative and absolute. Surprisingly enough, Volvo and MG also lost significant market share in a growing market.
Happy cake day. And idk about all that. There’s a $3000 MG Midget for sale near me, I bet I’d be able to sell it for roughly $3000 after having it for a bit lol
damn. focal clear MG is pretty good
You can buy that shit from China for 1 dollar a MG
I can’t imagine what a stock market or tax policy under AOC would be like. I think at that point I would just liquidate everything I can and buy up the entire transferable MG market, assuming pre 86’s would be the best performing asset.
If you like zyns, try FRE. Way better, higher MG, and cheaper. Ship in bulk to your door.

How does your mind even come up with that? Chinese Brands 65,808 Includes BYD, MG (SAIC), Nio, XPeng, etc. Up 111% YoY Volkswagen Group ~27,000 – 30,000 Includes VW, Audi, Skoda, Cupra. Est. 19–21% of BEV market
I did read a review in one of the motoring mags of one the new MG EVs and they were impressed with how good it was vs Tesla.
And BYDs is lower than MG and some of the Geely brands, so why Arent they selling more?
Fuck off really? Wait what, you might be right! Wait holy FUCK ARE U FUCKING WARREN BUFFET OH MG FUCKING GOD YOU ARE EINSTEIN GENIUS OMFGGGGG
June 6th which is today The US Army Rangers were storming the beaches of France to fight off the nazis. They had to wade through beach heads under a variable wall of steel as MG42s were raining down bullets on them along with mortars and grenades. Some even had to scale 200ft cliffs on ladders made of nothing more but sticks and rope. Tons of corpses were floating when it was all said and done but they won the battle.
Definitely seeing them.in the UK. The MG brand too
Chinese car sellers have started gaining traction in Europe. Here in Germany, I see A LOT of MG cars for example. They are quite affordable, even with taxes applied and they come with great warranty. Also, used EV cars have become quite affordable as well. Even the premium brands sell cheap used EV cars. If you want, you can afford an EV in Europe. The times when they were too expensive for normal folks are over. But it is true that if you want to buy a new EV from German brands, they seem too expensive. But second hand they will be affordable.

59 lbs of fentanyl were seized at the northern border between the 2022 and 2024 fiscal years, In 2024, approximately 43 pounds of fentanyl were seized at the Canadian border. 103lbs total, considering it takes approximately 2MG to overdose, but in 3 years seized, that's 46,720,000 MG of fentanyl seized. Enough to wipe out over half of Canada's population. Really puts it into perspective how little 0.1% really is doesn't it, and how much damage it can cause.

Yeah, because 100lbs of fentanyl on top of 20k pills, is totally not a big deal, when approximately 2MG is a lethal dose, with a pound containing approximately 453,592MG. Totally not a big deal right? Let's try not to compare a totally real show like breaking bad, to something totally not a big deal like fentanyl.
Volvo cars is bought by Geely, a chinese brand now. Volvo is just as Swedish as MG is British.
they need to: 1. reduce tax as per article 2. reduce marketing, packaging snd storefront restrictuons 3. change THC MG limits as well as quantity ordered limits.
The UK doesn't buy many US made cars either. Most Fords and GMs are made domestically (Ford/Vauxhall). Jeep and Tesla are relatively common (not sure for how long in Tesla's case*) but I don't think I've ever seen a Dodge, GMC or Cadillac. VAG, Ford and BMW are the biggest sellers but MG (Chinese now) are doing really well in the EV market.
BYD is coming into Spain, but isn't huge yet at least in Barcelona. MG is making a big splash as well. Teslas were common, but won't be soon.
Tesla cars are on the premium side in the indian car markets. Except for some american brand lovers in Bangalore, Mumbai and Hyderabad, there won't be enough sales to generate break-even, let alone profits. The problem is with the market size itself, EVs account for low single-digit % sales in India, and we have better local alternatives such as MG, Tata, Mahindra. Even BYD is gaining a strong presence, and only because of governmental pressures and restrictions (due to obvious reasons), they can't achieve their full potential. Fundemantal problem being low wages and lack of charging infra support are not helping EV sales to reach its potential and TSLA would certainly fail (unless they are planning to build another Giga factory in India)
Have you heard of the [Butterfly effect](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/s/x6MG8xSWMR) ?
Tesla at $500 - why do people do this dumb shit Surely you’d bet on an AMD or Nvidia (hell even MSTR) over a call on the most overvalued company in existence right now - Sales will drop next quarter - probably pretty badly - Realistically other brands are starting to outperform Tesla (KIA EV6 is miles nicer and the MG4 is better value) - Autopilot will likely not meet FSD safety standards with just cameras and no radar/lidar [adding these will reduce profit margins or increase car price] I sincerely hope you got these at a very (very [very]) reasonable price… based on that massive loss already I’d say you didn’t 😂 Best of luck though - you’ll need Tesla to merge with space x or starlink for that price to be hit IMO
I’m holding out hope Trump will take his finger off the trigger of the belt fed MG that has a semi trailer sized ammo belt.
MG is now also manufacturing in China
This could also be beneficial for EU car companies. China is a huge market, and removing tariffs can help them grow in it. In any case, I expect the majority of Chinese EV’s will be manufactured in Europe if they really plan on creating real competition (already the case with some “new” car companies such as MG in the UK and Ebro in Spain, previously defunct national companies now resurrected with Chinese money). With this I mean that construction and labour costs should be on par with other manufacturers. It is something to be cautious about, but it could also be beneficial to both parties.
I keep reading that, but have you driven an affordable chinese EV? They're great for the price point. But e.g. MG really had to drive the 4 into the market with heavy incentives and that's actually a pretty decent car. The local makers have some attractive products in the pipeline or already out. Addding to that, new car buyers are typically older and conservative and will keep to known brands and probably also hybrids instead of EVs. The fleet / corporate market as driver for BEV sales is safe for a few more years because on the higher end the local products are also great and the Chinese will need years to build image and trust. Also establishing top notch after sales and fleet services is not instant or cheap. By the time this is negotiated, the playing field should be pretty level. An they'll be negotiating clauses into the thing that safeguard the EU market from dumping. There are things I don't like about the Eurocrats, but they're pretty good at negotiating trade deals. For me, this is great news. If we want a local car industry it needs to be competitive. And we don't even know what's on the other side of the deal. Anything reducing the leverage the US has over EU right now is welcome.
Maybe. Maybe not. As os this day BYD is fucking struggling in Denmark (cant say for other European markets). Xpeng and MG seems to be doing pretty well, and so was Tesla, but regardless the last year or so the Carpark is really turning into vw group
Oh for sure BYD and Xiaomi and others are killing it. Wish we got the MG Cyberster over here, the market desperately needs a cool sporty affordable EV.
In 2020 we used to tell people to fuck their puts. Jay Powell made the money printer go brrrrrttt like an MG3. Today we just can't stop winning.
100%. We get a lot of their electric vehicles here (Australia), and a BYD Seal beats the shit out of the Tesla, I bought an MG4 and love it. Because we have no local car industry, there are no tariffs so its open slather - you could buy a brand new MG4 51kwh for $31K AUD, or $18,500 USD - cheaper than a petrol car like a Toyota Corolla.
Melbourne may be a unique case given it's the most progressive major city in Australia and the population is more likely to buy an EV than other cities. Given Tesla had first mover advantage they established a decent market share before competition arrived. I do wonder how Melbourne as a progressive city feels today about Tesla's brand image given the all of the happenings. In Perth I can tell you the BYD cars (and also MG/Haval/GWM which I'm not much of a fan of) are absolutely everywhere. BYD in particular built 4 dealerships recently and one is essentially at the end of my street and I drive past it every day. The carpark fills up with vehicles but it seems to clear out within a day or two before the next delivery. Seems to mostly be Shark's https://www.drive.com.au/news/australian-new-car-sales-march-2025-ford-ranger-back-on-top-as-most-popular-new-model/ I'm pretty temped but would rather an all electric Shark rather than a plug in hybrid.
> MG's, GWM/Haval and Chery are absolute pieces of shit thou. We've seen this movie before. Jap Crap in the 1970s. Hyundais were a joke in the 1980s. And so on.
I see more BYD's in Australia than Tesla's. They are extremely popular, cheap, and seem well built. BYD Shark 6 is the 6th most sold car in Australia and it was only just released. Wish they would drop the "Build Your Dreams" marketing. It sounds tacky in Western countries, just call yourself BYD. MG's, GWM/Haval and Chery are absolute pieces of shit thou.
300MG CAFFEINE MINIMUM 
Yes, but significant R&D, development, manufacturing, employment and tax revenue in the UK to the point that Tata is essentially providing them with funds and leaving them independent so that if they sell JLR to somebody tomorrow, nothing major would change. It's quite different to say, the British MG brand being used by SAIC, until they started opening design centres back in the UK recently.
They did. Mitchell Gold was a major supplier. Then MG and other NC cos went bankrupt.
Which ones of these have you driven? Comfort is the only thing where some of these can compete. BYD tech doesn’t even remotely come close to Tesla. MG4 is cheaply built. VW tech is many issues and glitching. It’s not a great choice for an ev. Polestar is cool but a bit more expensive and doesn’t come close on tech. BYD will likely become the next best selling car in the world. But that’s because it’s cheap and most of the world will choose it for affordability. I just got back from Brazil and BYD’s are everywhere. They are cheap evs and that’s all they really have going for them. Some higher end models look nice but doesn’t come close to the value of the model y.
BYD Seal, BYD Atto 3, MG4, XPENG X9, XPENG P7, VW ID.7 GTX Tourer, Polestar 4, Cupra Tavascan
Not made in Britain, yet still British. The factory is partly British owned as the original MG was founded in the UK, proving the factory in China is British owned. That’s how ownership works, after all.
MG is a British legacy brand bought by the Chinese. Afaik they still have some (design, not manufacturing) presence in the UK.
I've been in the GCC the last 18 months. What I'm seeing is the Chinese competition burning things up in both gas and EV. 18 months ago MG, Geely, and Jetour were outliers. Now, especially the Jetour T2, are everywhere with locals beginning to shift from Land Cruiser and Defenders. Europe stats are showing similar trends.
The cheapest new Model 3 is $51,759 in the UK. I could also buy the longer range variant of the Chinese MG 4 EV (official range 280 miles) brand new for $31,816 or a Korean Kia EV 3 for around the same figure. Just for comparison - a used Tesla M3 with 86k miles is for sale at $14,884.
The MG be may be historically British, but is there any Britosh involvement in the car anymore?
MG is British, although Chinese owned.
I rode in a couple of Chinese EVs in Thailand and Malaysia They are phenomenal. Brands I'd never even heard of JAECOO, Aion, MG Didnt see a sigle western EV anywhere Western Car manufacturers are FUCKED
I drove the MG4, great car for an affordable price
I have really seen any BYDs in central/eastern Europe, but there sure are a fuckton of Chinese MG cars
Have you traveled outside the US? BYD, MG, etc are eating Tesla's lunch throughout Asia, Latin America and Europe.
I used to work in car sales, they're doing it already. When Peugeot decided to pull out of over a third of their showrooms, the Chinese brands line Jaecoo and BYD slid straight in. MG have been quietly pumping out quality electric SUVs for dirt cheap too. The warranties are long and the showroom costs are so low compared to what big brands charge dealers, they'll be dug in like ticks within a few years.
I test drove an MG4 last week. Really cool for cheap and then there is the great design of the new Renault 5. Bye bye Tesla
Difficult from a European market. I’m in the UK and been looking at EV prices and I’ve seen in the last few weeks the price fall. It’s also been backed up with analytics of the price market. I also know 2 others who are looking at EV and Tesla’s seem to be off the list due to being seen related to Trump and Musk. Now Trumps comment last night seemed to have really sparked a major upset on this side of the Atlantic. Even people who are traditionally pro Trump I know, can’t believe it. Farage, a friend of Trump, said that this will make “Putin a winner.” European press, including right wing press (including ones owned by Murdoch) see it as shameful. I don’t think we’ve necessarily realised how much this has rocked the boat now in Europe and massively upset people and countries. There’s reports that some oil companies have started to refuse supplying the US navy. This has seemed to be the whole talk of everyone I know, including people who are not normally political. I know a few FTSI 100 companies who use Tesla as company and pool cars have been discussing whether the end the contract for a few weeks now. This I can see being accelerated now. I can see people finding it harder to keep their Tesla’s and will need to keep an eye on the second hand market prices. Although in the U.K. new 25 number plates are issued from today so the second hand market prices tend to drop a little as a lot of PCP/finance cars are back on the market as people like new plates so may skew prices for a couple of weeks. Volkswagen stems from the predecessor of the Nazi party and is still a popular car company today but was taken over by the British and was turned into how we see it today by them. Other European brands such as BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Hugo boss, Siemens all exist today and have deep roots in the Nazi party and are still around today. From my perspective TSLA needs to drop Musk fast as a public facing director or any involvement to stay relevant in the EU. I can see him being public with the company and the US political situation isn’t going to give a good perception to the brand. Another thing to complicate is that European brands such as Mercedes, Volvo and Cupra have come out with good EV’s and make Tesla less of the obvious choice. Also we’ve had a swath of Chinese brands also land and I know 2 people with MG and BYD respective. Is Tesla likely to be okay in the states? Possibly but I don’t understand the US political situation enough. European market is however significantly damaged
I'm in Europe (Portugal) just bought a 1 year old MG4 for 24k€ that has triple the range of this VW that will _maybe_ start selling in 2 years. In two years the deals on used EVs will be even better, it will be very hard to justify this. Even if you exclusively want new cars there are already options like the Dacia Spring on the market that are much cheaper and have similar range to this VW.
BYD and MG are already there...
Trump is an idiot but comparing tariffs to a guy who stole half a billion to a billion dollars worth of African dicks on any scale isn't right at all. The only reason you think Xi is in any way tactical is due to a monstrous Chinese media apparatus that hides the crazy shit that he says, like Taiwanese will need to be "re-educated" after unification. That isn't hyperbole by the way: [https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/04/reps-probe-illicit-harvest-export-of-7200-male-organs-other-human-parts-to-china/?form=MG0AV3&form=MG0AV3](https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/04/reps-probe-illicit-harvest-export-of-7200-male-organs-other-human-parts-to-china/?form=MG0AV3&form=MG0AV3)
I hate the CEO but the model 3 perf is an absolute blast. We don’t want a second Tesla but having driven myself or my partner all the other EVs available in Australia I have absolutely no idea what to get. Nothing else has been as fun to drive, or had the same user experience as Tesla. We like some of the Polestar on paper but disliked being behind the drivers wheel. My partner disliked the BYD styling of the Atto interior I liked them on paper and even the exterior styling, the MG are dirt cheap but again even as a second car she didn’t like the drive. Some of the other cars even had Fobs or keys, which for us feels so backwards as our house, workplace and Tesla are all Bluetooth or finger print entry. The entertainment system in the Tesla is second to none, even the higher end European cars felt sluggish. Ours is also one of the older systems and it still feels years ahead of the others. Everyone is bagging Tesla because the CEO is a right wing nutter and the cyber truck is built to be decisive, however the competition in the EV space feels so far behind. The only other EV we kind of liked was the BYD Seal but the safety stuff annoying. I think it’s such a shit choice to make at the moment will probably postpone buying another EV until we get some better models in Australia or just give in and get a second hand Tesla Y or 3 cheap. Or if a Porsche Taycan pops up cheap, but even then I’d prefer the Tesla as a daily.

Farage, a friend of Trump, said that this will make “Putin a winner.” European press, including right wing press (including ones owned by Murdoch) see it as shameful. I don’t think we’ve necessarily realised how much this has rocked the boat now in Europe and massively upset people and countries. There’s reports that some oil companies have started to refuse supplying the US navy. This has seemed to be the whole talk of everyone I know, including people who are not normally political. I know a few FTSI 100 companies who use Tesla as company and pool cars have been discussing whether the end the contract for a few weeks now. This I can see being accelerated now. I can see people finding it harder to keep their Tesla’s and will need to keep an eye on the second hand market prices. Although in the U.K. new 25 number plates are issued from today so the second hand market prices tend to drop a little as a lot of PCP/finance cars are back on the market as people like new plates so may skew prices for a couple of weeks. Volkswagen stems from the predecessor of the Nazi party and is still a popular car company today but was taken over by the British and was turned into how we see it today by them. Other European brands such as BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Hugo boss, Siemens all exist today and have deep roots in the Nazi party and are still around today. From my perspective TSLA needs to drop Musk fast as a public facing director or any involvement to stay relevant in the EU. I can see him being public with the company and the US political situation isn’t going to give a good perception to the brand. Another thing to complicate is that European brands such as Mercedes, Volvo and Cupra have come out with good EV’s and make Tesla less of the obvious choice. Also we’ve had a swath of Chinese brands also land and I know 2 people with MG and BYD respective. Is Tesla likely to be okay in the states? Possibly but I don’t understand the US political situation enough. European market is however significantly damaged
If there's any gap between Tesla and the rest it's rapidly closing. I would argue it's already closed. Hyundai/Kia, BYD, Volvo, VW, MG etc all have competitive offers where I live. When you then consider the very public antics of their CEO and his alienation of the consumer group most likely to purchase EVs, you have to wonder what the strategy is. Then you have the scrapping of the model 2 making the release of the cyber truck thwir biggest innovation fo the past 4 years, plus the perpetual failed promises of FSD. Where is Teslas room for growth from here?
In Australia, MG4 are outselling Teslas now, both are made in China, the MG starts at about AU$33000, the Tesla Model 3 is about AU$55000
20MG with 5mg Prozac is my routine
China was always going to come from behind. Byd, Xiaomi, LeapMotors, MG, everyone started buying them 'cause they‘re so much cheaper, being subsidised by the Chinese Government. Also, every car company now manufactures electric cars, and with good mileage, too. So, why would I buy a Tesla now, when there is so much competition?
Not all MG cars in India are electric if I remember right but I could be wrong. Also 2023 was an unusual high sales year for MG. If you look at their sales in 2024, they are barely selling 1000 EVs a month. https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian-car-scene/289653-december-2024-indian-car-sales-figures-analysis.html
