BYD also charges ~double the price in other markets, including Mexico, compared to China. That makes it very close to a base Model 3, for much less car.

This seems like doing a lot of +++ on one side and --- on the other, to say "its cheaper, for a cheaper car"

1) it's not as expensive as a model 3 in mexico

2) it's not as much lower end, when it comes to what drivers want, noting FSD is not actually on anyones radar, or "free" with the low end models

3) it's cheaper by a margin most people on rational incomes close to average would say is a LOT of money.

1) It is about 30% more, rather than 150% more, as suggested here. Very different.

2) Agreed, that it is a car for much cheaper. However, it will likely not last as long. Excluding FSD, Autopilot is free and a better comparison.

3) Again, simply pointing out the discrepancy in claimed cost vs actual.
