This is the type of statement that often comes from pro China people. Because the quality of BYD in China is lower than outside of China, making it more propaganda than truth.

Edit: Sigh. I wish people would actually travel to China and try a BYD and then go to Australia and try BYD. it’s like 2 different cars. The China BYD is trash. BYD in Australia is actually quite nice and feels like really good value.

I would tend you agree with you. I hear about loads of issues with BYD in China, such as battery fires/cars freaking out and locking occupants in or out of the vehicle.

But then I look at the electric BYD buses in London that seemingly have no issues at all (that I've heard of).

We all know about the corrupt tofu dreg projects etc but that seems like more of a domestic problem.

Perhaps they have different models that are prevalent in different locations? e.g. Folks in China prefer the cheaper models?
