BYD extends lead over Tesla in the UK

> According to data released Wednesday by the UK’s automotive trade group, BYD registered nearly seven times more new cars than Tesla in October. Year-to-date figures show BYD’s sales have increased more than sixfold to 39,103 vehicles, while Tesla’s registrations have declined 4.5% to 35,455. Crazy that Tesla have let this happen. The Model 3 was *the* EV in the UK for years and years, as much as id like to say otherwise. BYD offer better lease deals, and the majority of new car sales are actually leases. Its that simple. I see them more and more around. Presumably the Seal is the choice of business saloon now.

Do Tesla's get a lot of stigma there?

Surely the Brits must love fascist supporting, nazi saluting charlatans, no?

Turns out consumers prefer newer models instead of a product line frozen in time.

Oh, there's Tesla finally going to hit over $600! The transformation from car manufacturer to flying saucer broker is almost complete! Quite bullish news!

Tesla has a supply chain model that doesn't believe in having cars available every month, but now there are companies that provide more options wider variety of prices and the opportunity to buy a car any day of the year. Tesla is falling behind the times.

Tesla's dominance came from once being the only player in the market. As I predicted long ago they would fade away once competitors showed up with better offerings to their low quality crap.

I'm waiting for him to say he's building the Starship Enterprise to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Yes, we have a historical dislike of Nazis, you might have heard about it. I haven't seen a single 25 plate Tesla anywhere.

Stonk up almost 5%

But Elon visited a Nazi rally! What's wrong with you! He even insulted Ireland (who you hate)! AND tried to ignite violent riots!! What else does he have to do?!

So, when is BYD gonna start selling in the US?

I’ve seen plenty, sadly. I’m no Tesla apologist either.

That combined with false promises of development that never came. 5 years behind on FSD now? Maybe more
