I would want the chinese one. If BYD were to open domestic manufacturing in america, the entire cost savings angle would be gone, absorbed by inefficient manufacturing, incredibly inept management, and a board of directors only seeking profit. Under these conditions there can BE no identical product.

As with other things, I am far more interested in the foreign produced product than I am with any domestically made one. Be it practical, like price, or a romance to them, like the idea of a culture of craftspeople who engage in the art of their professions.

I find no use in engaging with the prospect that a similar car made in america could be as enticing because there wont ever be one, certainly if the chinese examples dont make it to our shores first, You cant ask me to compare a BYD Han to anything in Ford’s lineup. Maybe you could compare it to a hybrid or all electric Honda Accord, but already considering a Chinese electric from the start gives you an answer.

Unless you’re trying to compare them to Teslas. In which case there’s no comparison, Teslas are junk
