6 daysI’d buy a BYD in a heartbeat. Fuck Tesla. We need to get better fucking options for electric cars in the US.
You would buy the slave labor car from a hostile militaristic dictatorship
but you would abstain from Tesla for reasons of morality?

a hostile militaristic dictatorship
Wut. Did China start bombing Iran and Venezuela?
I was referring to their support in the reelection of the Trump admin and AfD, and their election meddling in Canada and Australia as attempts to subvert democracy and weaken NATO, but while we’re on the subject:
They sent tanks in to take over Hong Kong, sold guns and planes to Iran which were funneled to terrorist groups across the middle east including the Hamas fighters who reignited the war in Palestine with the October Music Festival Attack and also the IRGC used them to kill more civilians last year than the entire US Conflict so far, China have been preparing to invade Taiwan, Chinese single-handedly keep the war in Ukraine going by financially supporting Russia, and also prop up North Korea which have directly fought in the war in Ukraine and launch missiles into the ocean as a threat to everyone around them.
A couple years ago they attempted to covertly build an underground military city near Beijing 10x the size of the pentagon with massive layers of concrete. They’ve been expanding military and aerospace presence and political involvement across Africa.
China is the single largest threat to peace and safety on this earth. The only reason they aren’t storming beaches is because of EU and NATO alliances.

You’re complaining about China building a military base in their own country while we have military bases in 80 foreign countries.
Our own super mega bunker fortress we call the U.S. embassy in Baghdad has more total square feet than the Pentagon, along with 5,000 private mercenaries (totally not soldiers). An “embassy”.
Every accusation is a confession from bootlicking toadies like you
Yeah, China is the problem. Okay.
You can’t see it, but I’m making masturbatory gestures with my hand right now.

election meddling in Canada
US has been the only active election meddling in Canada.
China is the single largest threat to peace and safety on this earth.
Take a nice boat ride through the strait of Hormuz and get back to us.
Everyone of your “facts” starts with “attempted to…” “planning to” while only one country is is actually drone striking fishing boats and bombing countries with no provocation.
First of all, no matter what USA, Russia, France, fucking Republic of Congo is doing that doesn’t completely erase all the crimes of China.
US has been the only active election meddling in Canada.
Even if that were true, and it isn’t, not sure how you don’t see the irony in the fact that China helped put in power the current US Admin.
Take a nice boat ride through the strait of Hormuz and get back to us.
Yeah so I can get lit up by Chinese munitions? I see how you’re missing the irony, now, it’s willful ignorance.
“Hostile militaristic dictatorship” could be said of America with how it works today. China is technically a communist country but okay.
BYD is objectively better at designing cars than Tesla. Give me a better fucking car and I’ll sign up. There aren’t good options for a person seeking a perfect brand. But fuck me for wanting a nicer car, I guess.

China is technically a communist country but okay.
Far from it tbh. It’s a one-party state ruled by a party that claims to be communist, but holds a monopoly on political power, controls the military and there are no free multi-party elections. It also is heavily market-oriented with a massive private sector and a stock market.
It’s capitalist with a very authoritarian regime. It’s closer to fascism than communism.

China is only communist by name. They’re closer to state capitalism. But I do agree that BYD makes way better cars than Tesla, still doesn’t want one though. Chinese carmakers (and Tesla) wants everything done from the screen, and I hate that, give me some actual fucking tactile buttons and knobs.

What is this touch nonsense going on? With most of the cars these days, not just mentioned ones. This is truly baffling. The only reason that I can think of is cheaper manufacturing 🤷

It’s a paper one he nicked off a kid at a burger joint, anyhow.

Geez. Should I buy the more expensive nazi car or the less expensive, better built communist car? Thankfully I’m a communist and it’s an easy decision. But what about the others? This is the line in the sand…/s

i thought this had already happened.
in my region i’ve personally seen exactly two teslas on the road. byds are a daily sight.

No fucking wonder. They have a more varied lineup, capturing a broader spectrum of the market. They also managed to deliver truly affordable EVs (even though they are kind of shitty).

Teslas are getting cheaper, but it doesn’t fix the Nazi problem.
