I wanted a Model 3, but by the time I could afford to buy the Performance model it turned out Musk was a dickhead. Couldn't bring myself to buy something with his aura around it, no matter how good or goodn't the car itself might be.
Then I found the BYD Seal - which also comes in a Performance model - for a comparative price. Also it comes with a HUD and indicators+wipers on stalks. And its subjectively a better looking car anyway.
So I bought one. Now every time Musk does something stupid I can say "wow, what a dickhead" and not feel like I'm letting """my team""" down.
I don't really understand how BYD is better than Tesla politically. Fuck Musk, but going from Musk to CCP doesn't seem like an upgrade to me.
I'm thinking of buying a BYD Dolphin in the near future
You'd be better off with a European car. Less blood in the mix.
Not much available in my country, especially with my budget
i was going to say this sounds like an unfair comparison hybrid and ev vs ev but yeah looks true, huge drop for tesla
Make sure to check them for bugs.
I bought a Sealion PHEV in January and absolutely love it.
