BYD electric cars are available in Australia and establishing a good reputation. Mainly because they are much much cheaper than Tesla's for a similar product. Also there's an influx of marketing for BYD eg. https://www.businessinsider.com/byd-electric-car-powers-life...

I noticed they aren't available in the USA but they are taking off where they are available.

Same here in Costa Rica. BYD and Geely is everywhere. Tesla's are very rare. Chinese car makers are killing it here.
