Because it's trendy to dish on Musk?

Comparing BYD sales of neighborhood electric vehicles with Tesla's sales is deliberately deceptive, but "BYD SOLD MORE UNITS". BYD can lengthen their lead by also selling electric skateboards and RC cars.

BYD does not sell NEV's; their cheapest model (the Seagull) has passed European safety rules for highway speeds.

People find it interesting maybe? I know I do, and this is the first I've seen it. I would normally estimate that I check the front page "a lot".

you'd think that modern companies have professional grassroots marketing experts who position posts on forums like these, but I'm not sure.

I’m pretty sure it’s karma farming to some degree. I see it so much with news stories which will have articules with similar content rewriting each other, and end up like this posted repeatedly over a week or so.

Anyways, I flagged as duplicate, nothing new in this piece compared to the ones from 3 days ago.
