Sorry, but China EV manufacturer BYD just kicked Tesla’s ass around the block and then some.

They aren’t even in the same game.

Active magnetic suspension, 4-motor drive 1300hp, independent turning on every wheel. It can literally climb stairs, u-turn in place on a narrow road & shift itself sideways to park.

I would totally drive this beast if I could afford it. I don’t give AF that it’s chinese. Amazing tech. 😲

'KBA said on its website on Thursday that Tesla sold 2,229 cars in Germany in March, down 42.5% from year earlier. The number of Teslas sold between January and March 2025 dropped 62.2% to 4,935 units, compared with the same period last year.

By contrast, the total number of newly registered electric vehicles increased by 35.3% in March, KBA said.'
