The Turd then re-loaded his gun and then intentionally and purposefully shot himself in his left foot. Since then, the Turd again re-loaded his gun and then intentionally and purposefully shot himself in his left shoulder. So much "winning!" By the way, the imbecilic Turd is again re-loading his gun ...

In the world of electric vehicles, there’s a Chinese company outdoing Elon Musk’s Tesla. And it’s just getting started.

BYD, the Shenzhen-based Chinese EV champion, eclipsed Tesla in annual sales last year. Last week, it unveiled a revolutionary battery charging technology that it says adds 250 miles of range in five minutes, outpacing Tesla’s Superchargers, which take 15 minutes to add 200 miles. And last month, BYD launched “God’s Eye,” an advanced driver-assistance system rivaling Tesla’s Full Self-Driving feature, at no extra cost for most of its cars.

They’re just three examples of how BYD has been pulling ahead of Tesla. The company once laughed off by Musk is now effectively outperforming Tesla in sales, innovation and price competitiveness.
