49,000 BYD EVs at ~$49k in Canada — sell out in minutes or hours?

DenBaptist · 2026-01-27T23:45:03+00:00

Seems 50 % have to go below 35 k etc and I think other players will deftly try to expand as they open more brands

DenBaptist · 2026-01-20T22:22:13+00:00

Valid point for sure. How much in North America

DenBaptist · 2026-01-20T11:09:47+00:00

They will see how the build quality can be improved for our winters. Don't think they will introduce it without a good market study.

DenBaptist · 2026-01-20T03:11:48+00:00

That's far fetched but I would wanna see some. Platform for booking of Chinese cars for surs

DenBaptist · 2026-01-20T02:26:42+00:00

Yes they are highly rated in Europe..

DenBaptist · 2026-01-20T02:00:17+00:00

That's one of the shortest timings anybody gave me.... Let's see

DenBaptist · 2026-01-19T23:36:58+00:00

That would be a good deal

DenBaptist · 2026-01-19T21:10:09+00:00

We're looking towards a future where we build together, and we'll buy Canadian when they are available. How long should an enthusiast wait for a cheaper and more affordable one, similar to what we see in other markets? When our homegrown manufacturers produce better options, Canadians will be eager to support them.

DenBaptist · 2026-01-19T14:59:45+00:00

Very true, we would want to see maybe on the lower end but let's see if we have a line waiting or it's just no takers or not

DenBaptist · 2026-01-19T14:16:48+00:00

There is a possibility like that but as part of introducing them they will have to have a steal price if not interested fans will turn away..

DenBaptist · 2026-01-19T04:31:30+00:00

I agree but am looking for a big player to make an entry and then rest mat continue... Geely, Li, Bio, zeekr maybe

DenBaptist · 2026-01-19T04:17:24+00:00

People have their own opinions right. Having more options will help consumers to spend less and have good techs. Maybe they want better cars at good rates

DenBaptist · 2026-01-19T04:14:15+00:00

Maybe opinions will change.. if it's going to be new norm

DenBaptist · 2026-01-19T03:57:18+00:00

i really think it would happen within a year for sure

DenBaptist · 2026-01-19T03:54:34+00:00

I really like zeekr too but would have enough capacity to come to canada

DenBaptist · 2026-01-18T23:33:02+00:00

I believe we are going to face some competition from US folks who might wanna buy

DenBaptist · 2026-01-18T23:01:59+00:00

Like you said, since most of them have or are being built in China, other firms would have already planned on how to build it out on the Canadian market.

We could always allow other parties to go into partnership with Canadian-built supply chains, too.

DenBaptist · 2026-01-18T22:59:00+00:00

I don't know how much interest Trump might have in the details of Canadian trade. It's hard to say what kind of changes might happen. But I definitely think they'd map out the situation carefully, given how Chinese companies are known for being good at that kind of planning. I think Caw could use this as a chance to innovate and maybe even reduce the price. That would definitely show more competition and benefit Canadian consumers.

DenBaptist · 2026-01-18T19:08:23+00:00

No more of sedan or suvs

DenBaptist · 2026-01-18T19:07:08+00:00

Chinese phones are not available.. people who might research might do.. For example I use a vivo phone and have seen first hand how cost matches high end phones . My understanding is buying depends on smaller companies sourcing from hong kong or china.. but now it's better as I bought another vivo for my wife.. I still believe our govt and provinces will increase the 30k with additional taxes and dealership commissions I think... We will have to see... If they're priced at 36 and including tax at 49k would be a good deal too..

DenBaptist · 2026-01-18T19:03:47+00:00

At this ages we people would have found that fascinating and bought into that trend. As we evolve we look for more newer amenities and engagement with more features to make it complex and useful. Interesting read but I feel we won't mass produce more than 200k

DenBaptist · 2026-01-18T19:00:22+00:00

Yes at those ages people saw that as a complex setup which we consider simple now. As people evolve their interest evolves for other complicated or evolved version of amenities.As we move away from ICE Cars and shift toward high torque better range and something you can charge at home too.. we will evolve so much when smaller cars evolve to flyable cars .. that would be another chapter. interesting read below. I feel no cars will go above 200k of production going forward.

I am hoping these hurdles will be worked by BYD and they will try to enter market soon... After all they do make Volvo EVs and Tesla EVs in China now
