Before replying too quickly to the headline, please note that it's another case of "bad headline-itis" that is conflating two things that the article DOESN'T say.<p>(1) Tesla sales have crashed in Europe.<p>(2) BYD sales are up globally, with the largest gain in China. Most of those sales are not in the EU; the EU has imposed high tariffs on Chinese autos.<p>These two statements are operating independently of each other; it is not the case that BYD sales are what have caused Tesla to crash in Europe, and this is not what the article says. However, the headline puts these two facts in close juxtaposition, inviting an incorrect conclusion on quick skim. Grr, headline writer, grr.<p>Drawing from other sources, BYD sold only about 83,000 cars in the EU in 2024, though they are projecting to double that in 2025. So it may be that BYD will be part of _future_ Tesla sales drops, but these are likely due to price/quality more than politics.<p>(Re-posting this at the top level because the comment I replied to got flagged)
