This is very impressive, I just saw a Youtube video from Sweden about how insanely fast these new BYD cars charge 10-70% in 5 minutes!!!
Meanwhile the new Tesla model Y that supposedly charge at 250 kWh, has one of the worst charging curves in the market, and drops off to only 100 kWh already at 35% charge level!!
The new Tesla cars are actually worse than the old ones, because Tesla is using their own inferior battery design made for the Cybertruck, that Elon Musk used to rave about how amazing would be, but gave them so many problems to manufacture, and apparently this never got completely solved.
Anyone who think Tesla is still a market leader or even just still a good option must be unaware of how bad Tesla is now compared to the competition. Tesla did some cool things early on, but they are nowhere near what their marketing is claiming.
