Stupid general question, but why are there so many articles comparing BYD and Tesla, but ignore every other EV company. It is fine in a headline, but at least in the article itself, there should be some sort of list of the sales of other brands or companies. It is not just happening in Australia, but also in a lot of other countries and often ignores some big players.
Probably because in 2011 Musk laughed at them and now they are outselling Tesla. There is also the general unease of China rapidly breaking into markets that where previously dominated by western countries.
Nissan outsold Tesla worldwide for years.
Media ignores Nissan has been making EVs as long as Tesla.
People love a good underdog story (as much as you can call a ginormous company an underdog anyway). I agree with OP though, would be nice to have all the data in the body of the article
Cadillac sales jumped 70% on their new EVs.
