Cui Nyonya Kueh : sis. now toh dunno can buy ma. most people bought during the dip.
TeslaSmurf : Add the FACT that around 15% of BYD’s cars are sitting in the dealers who have bought them, not in the hands of customers. Though they count too…
GuruGuruGulu TeslaSmurf : but tesla is 8x more expensive than BYD...
GuruGuruGulu TeslaSmurf : not sure if u considered this FACT
TeslaSmurf GuruGuruGulu : A Tesla is more expensive than an average BYD because it is considered a luxury car. It means that means people is willing to pay more to have a Tesla than a BYD, but if you compare the prices of similar models there is no gigantic difference, for example the BYD HAN and the Tesla Model 3. It’s just that Tesla doesn’t sell small cars, YET. By the end of 2024 they will start producing a new compact car in Mexico and later in China. The BIG difference is that customers pay more and at the same time Tesla is more efficient at building cars (=much higher margin and profit).
TeslaSmurf GuruGuruGulu : A BYD HAN in China costs between 30K and 40K while the Model 3 is around 15% more expensive. 15%, not 8X as you wrote
