Good. Nobody should use TikTok.
Best selling doesn't mean they are great cars. Teslas are garbage cars too. The best selling cars again, doesn't mean they are superior cars.
All cars are prone to fire. But BYD have already had a recall for their batteries. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/fans-take-byd-task-recall-confusion-clouds-chinese-ev-makers-image-2022-06-30/

BYD still uses the standard lithium ion batteries. Tesla now uses lithium iron phosphate batteries, if you didn't know it is considered the safest battery.
I will agree that you and I are experts in this field, but you have to acknowledge that China is intentionally dumping these cars with the intent to kill off competition and gain market share.
I agree, and that wasn't what I meant, but if you sell more cars of similar quality, there will also be more defects.
