How BYD undercuts Tesla around the world, by the numbers. (restofworld.org)

BYD is more affordable than Tesla in at least 10 places outside the West.

  • In each of the 10 markets where both Tesla and the Chinese carmaker BYD list prices online, BYD’s lowest-cost option is cheaper than that of Tesla.
  • While Tesla focuses its sales in North America and Europe, BYD is expanding in Latin America and Southeast Asia.

In Aus the Atto 3 Essential, before on-road costs, is $40k AUD. Is it a lot higher in the UK?

Yep - cheapest Atto 3 model in the UK is £37,695 on the road price, which is around $77,587 AUD. Even with dealer cuts (30%?) seems super expensive compared to rest of the world. Something is not adding up.

That's insane. I have one on order in Aus and test driving it was great. Apparently it's even cheaper in China so no idea how you're getting screwed over here. I would definitely look at other options at that price.
