A £20k BYD is going to be a super short range model though. I think models that compete with Tesla are more like £30k, which is still a lot cheaper than Tesla but not quite as crazy as you're saying. Let me check:
Yeah Model 3 base is £40k for claimed 323 miles, or £45 for 436 miles.
BYD Dolphin is £30k for claimed 265 miles. Dolphin Surf (which is a lot smaller than a Model 3) is £19, £22, £24k for 137, 200, 193 miles.
I guess £22k for 200 mile range is not as bad as I was expecting actually. But still you can see why people who can afford it would still buy a Tesla. (Or an equivalent not sold by a twat.)
