Yes, I know. That's why BYD is going to then squeeze the customers once they are locked in.

Thus, not sustainable, as I said.

It worked for Wal-Mart

Which isn't really a sustainable business model, but it's quite successful

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 2 points 19 hours ago

It didn't work for Walmart the same way it didn't work for Amazon

What is sustainable in today's economy?

Really, what Western corporation actually base their policies on sustainable growth?

Take your time. I'll wait.

All of them that I know of. Which corporations do you see running unsustainable business models until they fold completely? Take your time, I'll wait.

The point is that they eventually change their tactics. In this case, they'll have to eventually increase their prices.

Even big companies ran gigantic losses for years, just to undercut the competition and emerge as the only winner.

Some do it because they have other cash cows Epic store milking Fortnite), others have VC funding, like Uber.

Yes but after they win they have to raise prices...
