Reading the article, that's some pretty extreme tech they have there.
So now they just need to make good steering and suspension.
At least I heard the Dolphin drives somewhat like a boat. But I bet they'll catch up on that too pretty quick if they haven't already.

It seems that certain markets have a different handling tune. In Korea the atto 3 handles differently from other countries.

I'm in Denmark, and BYD Dolphin has been universally criticized for poor handling here. My guess is it's the same for EU in general. Maybe they fixed it since introduction to Europe?

From the English translated text, it seems like he mentions Hyundai and Kia not having that problem with it in Europe.
And that is true, they are both fine. But maybe he is saying Hyundai and KIA users say the BYD has poor handling? IDK the translated wording is a bit weird.

PS:
Thanks for timed link. 👍
