BYD has overtaken Tesla globally, has achieved the highest growth rate in Europe, and would have done even better but for tariffs designed to protect, in particular, VW, a company that cheated emissions regulations and now wants more time to catch up in areas it lags rivals.
None of this has anything to do with beliefs. I made no assertion that BYD had overtaken VW (your prime concern apparently) or would do so imminently.
