Of course its newsworthy if the company making the most electric cars in the world has setup a factory to produce semis and produced at least one after years of testing with actual customers that say they are very happy at seemingly very competitive pricing.

To say its NOT newsworthy betrays a bias against Tesla which I would assume has nothing to do with actual facts.

BYD is, by far, the largest EV manufacturer in the world. And they've been making semis for ages.

It is not newsworthy that BYD shipped another one. They do that every 15 minutes.

So not only do I repeat that this article is not newsworthy -- but your proposed article about the company making the most electric cars in the world shipping one would _also_ not be newsworthy.

I agree that this is mildly interesting. But wanted to say BYD produces the most electric cars.
