Rear isn't that big a deal. Very few mechanical failures are a big deal unless you react by adding massive random steering inputs which oddly is the behavior every internet comment section wants to project on everyone. Your box on wheels is gonna obey newtonian physics and keep doing what it was doing for the most part.

Safely.

BYD is currently the second biggest selling vehicle manufacturer (not just EV) in Australia after Toyota and ahead of Ford. It is also the only one increasing sales in the top three. All the vehicles sold here meet our strict design rules. There are some notable US vehicles that even with substantial engineering modifications probably couldn't be made compliant with our safety regulations.

You can't drive a BYD because your government tariffs them to hell. I can drive one in my country, and their safety record is great.

Perhaps they're just 'nifty demos' in the eyes of the US market, but in countries like Australia, where BYD is already the 2nd best selling car brand, they are very much not that.

I suspect that the video originally posted on Weibo, the video in which all the text is in Chinese, might not be aimed at Americans. I think they are targeting a different market with this. Perhaps China.

1 in 200 apartments in the building? You realize that the USA is one of the only car markets that has closed itself off to chinese cars, right?

BYD is the number 1 EV brand in the world currently by sales.

Wait until your learn there is like a whole world outside of the US

They conform to EU and UK safety standards (there are enough of them on the roads here to demonstrate that).

Are US safety standards that much higher - seems like a regulatory nightmare over there?
