BYD Atto3

Yes I agree

China is a malign actor in Europe. Chinese industry thinks nothing of ripping off western designs, brands, trademarks, technology etc.

Western security agencies have banned Huawei communications tech and now TikTok is gradually being banned off State and official devices all across Europe.

Nobody should buy Chinese cars, it is bad for the European economy, jobs investment and technological security.

Please buy European brands, or if not then choose a car brand from another market of the global west, like Korea or Japan.

BYD, GWM Ora, SIAC Maxus and MG all should be run out of town. Personally, I wouldn't even buy Volvo or Polestar as they are under the Chinese Geely corporation.

Wow that's quite the hot take.

If that's how you feel I think we should also ban all Korean cars & phones seeing as Hyundai & Samsung control the Korean government & policies, workers rights (none) through the chaebel system.

But my point & yours are completely irrelevant to the discussion of the Atto3.

Yours might be, mine isn't.

I'm sure it's a very satisfactory vehicle, I just don't want anyone to consider it, let alone purchase it. Please.

If you dont go for metallic, What is the delivery charge

Do Tesla charge for delivery

So €40,300 all in?

Compared to competition which lets be honest is overpriced anyway it's an ok deal, but it's a short range EV for 40k+

Kia Niro EV is roughly the same price when you factor in the decent 3.9% finance most will need and Niro PHEV cheaper again.

For the advertised €37,000 I might support the Chinese, but at this price i'd prefer give to Musk who's rattling cages when his pricing

While its good to see a new car hit the market, and I have seen lots of favourable reviews ; my interest has reduced a bit

Assuming no delivery charge with Telsa , and 2K with MSL BYD, that narrows the price gap, between the two

Impossible to predict, and I am probably wrong, but I think the BYD will depreciate more than the Tesla , because for a prospective buyer, they will be put off by a brand , they are not familiar with , and the quirky interior not to everyone's taste

Yeah cos VW are famous for looking after the environment.

I'm far from a fan of the regime in China but it's extraordinary difficult to avoid your spending money ending up there one way or another.

Well at least you get a dash on the BYD unlike the Tesla where all you get is a dull useless shelf.

Yes you should lol. Well what would you call that thing in front of your screen? Its hardly a dash and if it is not much of one.

Ha, well I'm not putting anything on that so called shelf, would spoil that beautiful visibility..🤗

If Western car manufacturers made affordable EVs people wouldn't be forced to buy Chinese cars.

They're dragging their heels on EV development and just trying to sell us overpriced SUVs.

Tesla being the noticeable exception.

You can't blame people for buying Chinese cars when the alternatives are far more expensive.
