Tesla the brand that everyone hates?
Thinking long-term. Smart move. Europeans need to step up quickly or get crushed by the competition.
Why would any American want a Chinese brand to do better? Tesla gives Americans jobs
While i would never buy a Chinese car… What sort of shitty reporting is this. Many american companies operated at a loss for decades. Now it’s bad that BYD has lower profit margins cause it’s expanding?
Well thanks to Trump’s trade war on the entire planet they are likely to get new markets for their cars as countries that once sided with the US in trade wars with China will now be open to allowing BYD in. Carney will be in China soon and a joint venture between BYD and Canadian auto industry companies would not even be remotely surprising. A year ago that would have been unthinkable.
So they’ve had a drop in profit… which means they’re still making a profit. As a publicly traded company, as long as the shareholders are happy, everything is fine.
Eh
2025 wasnt that good of a year for a lot of brands
While BYD net profit dropped by 33% YoY
Volkswagen dropped by 122% and Mercedes dropped by 25%
Tesla dropped by 40%
Renault dropped by 900%
BMW gained 300%, Toyota 50%, Honda 17% 💪💪💪
And we dont talk about Nissan 👁️👄👁️
Now the question is this way, BYD is burning profits to expand their market share, why are all the other brands burning their profits are they chasing market share too?
That’s what excess money _should be_ used for. What a shitty headline – “oh no, they spent money on development rather than solely the creation of billionaires”.
Making it up in volume. The customer that goes for that has no brand loyalty and will move on for the next car
This is how China does business in most industries
R&D. Did you mean patent infringement?
openai: you guys have profit?
Wish we could get these cars in the US, but nope. Most of our population are apparently xenophobic assholes.
It’s the same with Huawei. They spent >20% of their total revenue in R&D last year.
While Apple spent less than 10% in the same period.
This tittle makes this sound like a bad thing for them? The author of the title really used all of their power to not call it an investment. Cuz that’s what it sounds like to me. And investment..
The next time I am getting another car I want to get one of them. There a BYD SUV and 2 BYD sedans on the street where i live and they look so nice when they drive past my house.
