I clearly stated "smaller". BYD has a market cap 10% the size of Tesla's current market cap.

The key word being 'current', not 'back when the loans were given'.

"Honda, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, or smaller ones like Think, BYD, Tango, or Venturi"

"smaller" was in reference to Honda, Toyota, BMW, and Mercedes. You can substitute Bright Automotive if you wish.

"current"—out of curiosity, was it so small before Tesla received the loan?
