i refuse read the biased news from CNN or FOX or MSNBC

However, I've read countless Bloomberg articles on Tesla, and the company has significant competitive advantage over every automaker (Including BYD) when it comes to manufacturing and selling EV's in the US and elsewhere.

If you are inclined to drive an EV, or own stock in an EV company, Tesla is still the gold standard.

It's like the gold standard in that it's something that used to be a big deal in the past.

BYD has overtaken Tesla technically but isn't allowed in the US due to anti-competitive, pseudo-nativist protectionism (and also a lack of homologation which doesn't make financial sense because of the previous point.)

"homologation" ...thanks for teaching me a new word that nobody would understand if i ever used it.
