Why would they need to? They have direct Chinese competitors to Tesla who are selling more units for far cheaper prices and innovating far faster. Tesla has a bunch of political baggage with a now drugged out and unstable CEO and nothing they are providing has a leg up on Chinese alternatives. People who can't even legally buy chinese models in their own country want Chinese cars now because they are so cheap and modernized.


The leg up is the teslas don't explode all the time and you don't see thousands of Tesla's parked in a field to make it look like the sales are great.


What explosion are you referring to?


There are many videos of BYDs exploding online, as well as a few that lock the drivers inside as they malfunction before catching fire and burning the people alive. Do not trust chinese EVs
