    As far as I know, you can’t buy a BYD in the US, which is a shame. At $12,000 I’d much rather own a new BYD Seagul than a used ICE car with its breakage prone overly complicated and polluting engineering. https://youtu.be/anoliCXXKIA/&t=119

    At least I can still buy an ebike!

      You can’t buy BYD passenger cars in the US yet. BYD makes commercial vehicles in California.

      Yeah and, Chinese engineering isn’t brakage prone? I doubt those cars will see 100kkm on their odometers and thats hardly the eco-revolution we need.
