Hard to say they are a top maker when you can't even but their cars outside China.
Where are you from? In singapore BYD sells more EVs than tesla

They have been a top seller in Australia due to their prices.
BYD has recently started selling cars in Germany, Scandinavia, Norway, and Sweden.
They are readily available in NZ
BYD electric cars are available in many countries. They only make busses and trucks in America.
You can buy them in the UK.
Is this one of the ones that keeps buying and registering its own cars then parking them in fields to rot so they can pump their numbers up and keep getting investors? Dont believe any numbers coming out of China

Don't mistake me, I'm all for EVs. What im saying is I'm skeptical of the quarterly earnings reports,production numbers, or sale numbers from a company based out of china, where oversight and transparency are questionable, after so many companies there have been a burn and turn to skim money from green energy investors. If they can compete then good for them, but i was honest in asking if they were part of the ev burn and turn game in China.
Then I suppose this article is kinda targeted for you

Can't get past the paywall on it. Can you link or post text?
I enjoy discussion on the topic but find the downvotes somewhat petty

I'm not saying this article is legit, but it does cover other unvalidated concerns ive heard. I remain skeptical of this companies figures
