Original Note:
Although BYD outsold Tesla in overall vehicles, the claim it sold more EVs is false. In the linked article it states "BYD sold an impressive 1.86 million EVs and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in 2022." This article claims BYD trails Tesla by 400,000 units. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/chinese-ev-giant-byd-set-surge-2022-profit-sales-jump-2023-01-30/
