There's a reason you can't import BYD to the US.

Because Tesla bribed some 100% tariffs?

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 3 weeks ago

Faaaar from just Tesla.

Is that true? I didn't know that! Here in my country BYD seems to be selling really well. I see them all the time while driving.
