Have you seen the body gaps and quality control issues teslas' have? If i had paid MSRP on a brand new tesler, I would expect absolut perfection.

On a Tesla? No Tesla is objectively worse than a BYD in terms of build quality. BYD isn't that great, but its still better than a Tesla. BYD has some really inexpensive cars that anyone can afford, they only need to last 6-8 years and they very much likely will. Tesla with the wompy wheels and other stupid problems, is quite up in the air that they can make a cheap car that lasts long.

Telsa never made their promised cheap cars.

And so what if BYD's "FSD" is not as good or the interfaces are not as slick. It only needs to be 80% as good and is already a fraction of the price.

Oh. So now a car is worse than other cars if its panels fall off the sides and the car bursts into flames killing all occupants?

Well, sure, if you’re going to use that kind of logic then Teslas are “worse.”

To be fair, it wasn't the bursting into flames that killed the occupants, assuming we're talking about piedmont.

The Piedmont story I read was the coroner’s report said asphyxiation and smoke inhalation.

But in any case. I’m sure I can find another example by Googling.
