@entwrk @mnremiledebruin @ValueAnalyst1 Tesla absolutely does not have superior EV specifics tech, all the developments with EV technologies are coming out of china not Tesla. And you think Tesla doesn't get subsidies?
English
We would finally have affordable EVs in the US if Chinese companies were allowed to sell in the US
Anthony@TheGalox_
Interesting, Canada starts welcoming Chinese EVs and suddenly a Tesla Model 3 drops to the equivalent of $29,042 USD Model 3 in the US starts at $38,630

@mnremiledebruin @80HDpilled @ValueAnalyst1 💯 BYD isn’t even that profitable without subsidies. China might have fancier in-car tech, but the US still has superior EV-specific tech.
American automakers deserve reciprocal structural support, as the current price gap can't be solved by "better technology" alone.
English
@80HDpilled @ValueAnalyst1 Strategic sales plan. Tesla’s margins are better so they also can.
English
@Mattlinn01 It’s okay to decide what better fills your needs once you know what’s being compromised. More people should see the full picture before assuming this tech is perfect for every owner, or that it represents absolute advancement.
English
@entwrk There’s always a compromise. Lower density doesn’t bother me when I’m able to onboard energy so quickly.
English
This performance is what you should want for American EVs.
Stop defending the lackluster retention you’re seeing from our industry leader.
Ask for better.

@MarkSoFla @brandenflasch How about 'needing to recharge less often' ?
Besides that, 'flexibility' covers far more scenarios than highway.
English
@brandenflasch Exactly! It’s solely to provide flexibility. Just like I need to buy a 10 bedroom house for the rare times that all my kids and grandkids want to visit at the same time.
English
More range is more flexibility. No one is saying you have to drive 400 miles without stopping.
Eric Tastad@ZevCyber
Them: I don't want 435 mile EPA as my bladder can't last 7 hours Me: 435 EPA is about 320 miles at highway speed. 70% of that I actually use is 224 miles, or less than 3 hours at highway speeds. In winter it is even less. I typically drive 240 in a gas car. I hated stopping every 75-90 min in the 3.
English
@AlexEdgerton Exactly, and extra fast charging also negatively impact energy density. BYD's 1000kw-capable 123kwh LFP is ~25%/200kg heavier than an American 400kW-capable 123kWh NMC pack.
Too many people assume that performance is a breakthrough instead of a trade-off.
English
Larger packs do add weight. A 100 kWh pack is 40% heavier than a 70 kWh pack, assuming the same energy density and chemistry.
Weight negatively impacts all characteristics of a vehicle - braking, handling, acceleration, crash safety... It also drives up cost, and takes up more room for the larger pack.
Obviously BMW achieved better energy density in the newer car, which is great. It's misleading to say that this is purely a business decision, and imply that larger packs do not come with much of a penalty, without additional innovation or different chemistry.
In fact, an LFP 70 kWh pack can weigh more than a 100 kWh NMC pack!
AlejandroEV66@AlejandroEV66
Lots of people saying today that larger battery packs just add weight. But the 113-kWh pack in the iX3 is only 26 kg (57 lbs) heavier than the 82-kWh pack in the BMW i4 with over 30% more energy capacity Smaller packs are a business decision, not a physics problem
English
@stupidspam1 @OutofSpecDetail @Jeremy3292 Customers are also paying for less interior space. That battery is 25% heavier than a 400kW-capable battery of the same capacity, and that RWD Denza has less range than a car with more space despite having more 46% battery. This does not signal advancement at all.
English
@OutofSpecDetail @Jeremy3292 And when they're told it'll cost about $7k to get that charging speed many will reconsider.
English
“But the brand new 2026 ground up EV with 10%-80% in 30 minutes if fine”
I’m glad y’all enjoy sitting around waiting at chargers picking dandelions…
This is what actually matters to the larger public is charging basically as quick as you can fill a gas tank.
Amazing innovation ⚡️⚡️⚡️

I Didn't Believe BYD's Flash Charging Claims So I Went To China To Verify - This Is World Changing youtu.be/ajim7KF30jE?si…
English
@OutofSpecDetail @Jeremy3292 Why downplay the tradeoffs? Does said EV also mimick a combustion car or LREV in range, and will № of 1000kw infrastructure ever match that of gas or 400kw stations? Can 4 cars charge at full speed at the same time at a 1MW station?
Homecharging is not a BYD-exclusive advantage.
English
@Jeremy3292 They sure do, but I truly believe if you give people charging that mimicked filling a combustion car they’d be more apt to purchase
English
@OutofSpecDetail @Jeremy3292 What's the logical reason tho?
Homecharging makes charging speed irrelevant, and without homecharging, needing to charge twice as frequently is not elegant nor convenient at all.
If you're going longer distances in one day, why not make charging time 0min?

ENTWRK@entwrk
@bilboofshire @itskyleconner Exactly. On a 500mi trip, no matter how fast a short-range EV charges, a 500mi EV beats it with: time charging = 0, time detouring to chargers = 0, time worrying = 0. Zero is fundamentally faster than any charging speed will ever be. The superiority is greater than most realize.
English
@Jeremy3292 And I disagree with his take. I’d rather have a 200 mile range car that could charge like this vs a car with 300 mile range and 10-80% in 30 min.
English
@CryptoSDMark BYD is marketing trade-offs as “advancements.” Their 123kWh pack is ~200kg heavier than Gravity’s, and due to poor efficiency, Gravity charges 80–600km on 400kW 1 minute faster than the BYD Tang L (which has less interior space) charging on 1000kW.

Ford CEO says Tesla doesn’t have an ‘updated vehicle,’ and now he’s pivoting to catch up with his real competitor: China’s BYD
As a long time Ford fan, I'm sad to read this. This framing has some significant gaps. BYD received at least $3.7B in direct government subsidies 2018–2022, plus $1.8B in 2025 alone — over 31% of their pretax profit. That doesn't include preferential state bank lending, upstream battery subsidies, or raw material access. The Kiel Institute noted even those figures 'clearly understate the true scale.' China's total EV industry support exceeds $230B.
Additionally, China's own audit of its EV subsidy program found $121M distributed to unqualified manufacturers, with $1.3B in fraudulent claims in 2016 alone — BYD received $20M for 4,900 vehicles that didn't qualify, with no confirmation those funds were ever returned.
Farley is holding up a CCP-backed, state-subsidized champion — with a documented fraud history in its subsidy claims — as the benchmark American automakers should chase. Meanwhile Lucid, a fellow American company operating without that apparatus, still leads BYD in efficiency and driving dynamics in the segments they overlap.
The lesson isn't 'learn from BYD.' It's that American EV companies deserve the same conversation about structural support that China has been having for 15 years.

@BtmUp_Capital @WhiteMillions @LucidMotors Why move the goalposts?
Also, does your analogy show that you understand Lucid’s current growth stage or the trajectory of these figures over time?
Lastly since when is it fair to expect a startup carmaker to turn a profit on their first model within five years?
English
@entwrk @WhiteMillions @LucidMotors The argument is that a business needs to generate a profit- you don't open up a lemonade stand to sell $1 cups of lemonade that directly cost you $2 to make, and $100/month in overhead, do you?
English
Lucid beats the EQS' range with a 31% smaller battery, 84 kWh, vs the 122 kWh EQS battery.
Mercedes could need a lil' help here
Electric Benzes sadly Suck.
@LucidMotors, please help them out 🙏
Finally give them space for a frunk too

@BtmUp_Capital @WhiteMillions @LucidMotors Does profitability make the EQS a better car? What's the argument here?
If I spend $1M to open a restaurant, do my first 100 meals cost $10k each to make? Does your reply imply you understand how business works?
English
@WhiteMillions @LucidMotors At least the EQS is sold for a profit, unlike any of the vehicles from $LCID ....

I absolutely hate that protectionist policies in the US prevent this from coming here

@OutofSpecDetail This "innovation" adds 200kg of battery for the same energy. Without room for that extra bulk, range and cabin space get compromised.
Not saying it's not worth buying, but trade-offs shouldn't be seen as breakthroughs. Both space and energy efficiency of that car are subpar.
English
Que the “my car charges fast enough because I own other automaker stock who pulls 100 kW at 50%” crowd.
Love that we are seeing actual innovation in the EV charging segment.
We need rapid charging like this ⚡️⚡️⚡️

@Lucid_2030_ RJ Scaringe actually did one, they learned nothing from the hardware. He said the magic isn't engineering, it's that their cost of capital is zero so they can decouple pricing from ROI.

@OutofSpecDetail Apples to pineapples comparison. You’re assuming 1.2MW charging comes with 0 tradeoffs compared to 400kW. Highr pwr density=lowr energy density, there are Americans cars with some of the most energy-dense batteries while maximizing existing infrastructure.

Serious question: how could you not want a car to charge like this. I simply do not understand the argument against it.
Do you just not value your time?
ChinaEV Home@CNEVhome
Someone just caught a ZEEKR 001 hitting 1266.4kW at a Geely megawatt charger. This is real-world testing, not just a lab demo. Now that everyone’s rolling out megawatt charging, the jump in charging speeds for China’s EVs over the last year or two has been pretty major. #Zeekr #ChinaEV
