“Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent, do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?” [Apartheid Manchild] told audiences at an event in November.
Well, for starters I don’t want a car at all. I’d rather use public transit. You know, an actually effective means of reducing emissions.
If I were in the market, yes, I would want the best car. Which is why I’d never buy a Tesla. I’d buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.
I don’t actually care about “many markets”. I care about the market I’m in. Which, if I were actually in the market for a car at all, would be one where BYD and XPeng (and a cast of hundreds more) is a perfectly viable and available option.
This is why I said “if I were in the market” and “I’d buy an XPeng or a BYD”.
If you’re in a market where those aren’t available, you buy a non-Tesla that’s in your market. This is sort of how it works.
