byd needs to come to the USA and show the USA EV market who's boss
The US EV market has already seen “who’s boss”.
Ohhh who's the boss?👀
It is a little difficult with 100% tariffs on Chinese imports
BYD is already in the US selling busses. They could open a factory there for cars and still show the US how to do it.
In the current political climate would you, as a Chinese company, want to spend a couple billion opening new plant in the USA. The current administration isn't known for its longer-term stability

The trouble with that, is that BYD relies on significant vertical integration. They make all their own parts. So either they have to set up a significant supply chain in the US, or import a load of parts from China and be subject to tariffs. Not saying that it can't happen, but its a significant investment. And given how hostile the US political/business environment is to Chinese companies, I understand why they wouldn't bother with the US when there is other markets they could be pushing into.
