Original Note:
The US government has not "banned BYD." BYD has a 550,000-square-foot facility in Lancaster, California where it assembles electric buses it sells in America. The car in this post is not an "electric car," it is a BYD Yangwang U8, a plug-in hybrid sold for $150,000 USD. https://en.byd.com/news/byd-produces-400th-bus-in-lancaster/ https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/26/cars/china-byd-profile-tesla-rival-intl-hnk/index.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yangwang_U8
