minus-squareduke_of_alinor@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoI think Tesla will just let BYD have the lowest market segment. I don’t see Tesla making a car that is just around town. Since that is the largest volume sales BYD will do very well.
minus-squareLatter_Box9967@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoIs it better to make $2 each on 50 vehicles, or $1 each on 100 vehicles? (I don’t know)
minus-squareXillllix@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoTesla’s gen3 is about to enter that segment. However, they waited until they had the tech to actually make it profitably.
minus-squarebindermichi@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoYeah, yeah… their 24k car that will maybe arrive in 3 years while even Stellantis is able to build a sub 20k car in Europe for early next year.

minus-squareXillllix@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoSeriously gonna consider that junk to a Tesla? When Tesla comes in that segment they will do so with a category killer like the S, Y and 3.
