EV Daily | BYD Overtakes Tesla in EV Sales as Yadea Leads with Affordable Two-Wheelers

【Tesla】

MAGA protestors have been surrounding Tesla stores in California with gasoline trucks as a counter-protest against the "Tesla Takedown" movement, which aims to boycott Tesla due to perceptions of its support for Trump’s authoritarian regime. Despite interactions between protestors and counter-protestors, no significant incidents were reported. Tesla’s plans to source parts from China for the Cybercab and Semi have been disrupted by tariffs, forcing the automaker to look for alternatives. Musk’s promises about Tesla’s self-driving technology remain unfulfilled, with the company refusing to release data to support its claims.

【BYD】

Recent reports have highlighted BYD surpassing Tesla as the largest seller of electric vehicles, while Yadea outsells both by volume due to its affordable two-wheelers. BYD’s annual revenue in 2024 eclipsed Tesla’s, despite Tesla's strong presence in China, a market closed to BYD.
