I would rather go back to gas than drive BYD

It is not BYD's BEVs that are going up in flames, it is their PHEVs. They should just stop selling their PHEVs altogether to salvage what reputation they have left. Their higher end BEVs are quite good. I would not be surprised if companies like BYD end up buying failed ICE auto companies in Europe and the US to gain a better reputation in the long term. In Other Words, do not underestimate BYD.

I think his point was... you won't. They'll be called "Ford" or "Chevy" or something like that.

Just to be totally sure we're speaking the same language, I meant to imply that perhaps the BYD cars we end up seeing here in the U.S. will bear the logo of Ford or Chevy.

BYD seems to be growing significantly faster than legacy auto, while legacy auto seems to be showing it's "inventor's dilemma".

I wonder where the goal posts will be shifted to now, to resolve cognitive dissonance

I see BYD cars increasingly here in the Frankfurt region. They all have Munich plates, therefore I suppose that they are owned by Sixt, one of the major car rental and leasing companies here in Germany, which is located in Munich. Sixt has placed an order of something like 100,000 cars with BYD. I suppose, they got an offer that was so good that they couldn't refuse.
They aren't looking too bad, but I have never driven one yet.
Interestingly Sixt is getting rid of their Tesla cars at the same time. Apparently Tesla's unpredictable price policies with their huge rebates and their high repair costs made the Teslas economically unattractive for Sixt.
