Not gonna happen.
Warren Buffett owns 40% of BYD shares. I would watch BYD closely. 46% thermal efficiency is ridiculously good. Compression ratio of 16:1 is not easily done with a shoddy engine.

Funny thing is Buffet bought in during financial crisis 2008.

They just put out a hybrid that has a 2100km range.
Range depends on the tank size. For a smaller vehicle that might be 12gal, in which case that equate to 110mpg in best case conditions. That's nearly double what the best hybrid vehicles on the market do today. Call me skeptical until I see legit 3rd party tests.

I am guessing 75L tank, based on the 2.9L/100KM number. I mean surely this will come under intense scrutiny. This is their fifth gen for this hybrid. If true it would be very hard to justify EV.


We'll see how they deal with these problems. Not like they can sweep it under the carpet outside of China

I'm already in the place where with current technology and infrastructure, plug-in hybrids are the best option on the market. Until we get something like 5x the charge points installed, but also pending battery energy density sharply improving by ~3x or more to get those half-ton or heavier battery packs in pure EVs down to something reasonable.

And then there is this

Or something Cybertruck cannot do. But they do say it is for emergency only and the vehicle needs to be fully inspected afterwards.


I figure the YangWang U8 would be popular in the states.

I am seeing a lot of problems with BYD cars in China on youtube. Looks like all the EV makers in China are just integrators. They source parts and put together a "car"


Toronto Transit Commission ordered ten BYD electric buses so we will see how they hold up.

Here is a tear down video of two chinese cars. I have no idea what the one on the left is, but the one on the right is BYD.


Edit: yeah after I watched that video BYD is in for a rude awakening when it gets to international market. The car is garbage and they'll die a quick death. Steel gas tank... No cross brace at firewall, no side impact protection in door and torsion suspension in the rear lol.

Only one course of action for Elmo here... double down on ketamine, antiwoke and shitposting on Twitter.

That'll solve it.
