    The tank turn is useful for when people behind you honks at a red traffic light, so you can show them your middle finger 😂😂
  • 60 years ago, people laughed at Japanese cars, and just 20 years ago, people laughed at Korean cars.

    Companies moaning that china is copying them but hang on a minute why are these companies charging us over the top for rubbish cars like land rover and audi, this change is needed and china needs applauding for this feat.
  • @justme6275
    BYD is so far ahead of the competitions it is mind boggling.
  • @reginald7214
    This is what happens when you employ over 100,000 engineers. The pace of new vehicle design and new tech discoveries is off the charts.
  • @KrazeDiamond
    The U8 has an optional drone that sits inside a hidden rooftop compartment which you can use to scout the road ahead or find a way out if you're lost in a dense forest or in the middle of nowhere and Navi can't seem to guide your way out; or detour around a bad or potential road hazard and whatnot.

    Doesn’t matter how many times I see it, it never ceases to amaze me the revolution the Chinese car industry is making in the world!
  • @jefftyt
    As much as the name Yang Wang may sound funny to Westerner, it is actually quite meaningful. It means "Look Up (to something or someone).
  • @morkovija
    Is this the part where we are gong to be denied better products due to tariffs or outright bans in EU to "protect" traditional manufacturers who did nothing in the past 10 years? Pretty sure this is the part!
  • @josdesouza
    A mere forty years ago most Chinese citizens were still riding bicycles...

    I am a 37 year old resident of a small city in China. Taking myself as an example, I would like to describe the development speed of China in recent years. I was born in 1987 in a rural area of Shandong Province, China (a relatively developed region). Around 1990, my family had their first black and white television set; In 1993, my family had a run down tractor; In 1997, my family installed a landline telephone; In 1998, my family purchased an agricultural tricycle (approximately $500); In 2008, I graduated from college and my family only had one second-hand motorcycle left. Since 2008, the Chinese economy has developed rapidly! In 2010, I bought my first house in the city for $40000. In 2011, my family bought our first car for $20000. In 2014, my family bought their second car for $20000. In 2017, my family bought a second home for $80000. In 2020, my family bought their third car for $20000. In 2022, my family bought my third home for $90000. I am a Chinese citizen living in a fifth tier city.

    Never thought I’d want a car with the name yangwang but I wish the automobile lobbyists in the US would allow these vehicles to make it to the U.S.
  • @LachFlex
    I wanna get one just so I can say "Have you seen my Yangwang?" 🤣
  • @orxanr5955
    They are shitting on Cybertruck with this one
  • BYD is very big in Egypt. We have a lot of their cars here. These new electric ones are so nice. My friend has one and its the nuts. Seriously thinking about getting an electric car from BYD!!!
  • @Ziggyziggy1
    Chinese Man! The speed of technological advancement is astonishing!
  • @MGZetta
    Chinese car brands don't have to worry about their board buying $6 billion worth of stock buy backs for quick money grab for execs. Instead, they just hire tens of thousands engineers for RND.
  • @gglen2141
    I've been manufacturing in China for years. Nothing remotely as complex as a car, but I had my first ride in an EV taxi in China 15 years ago, I saw EV police cars, garbage trucks, delivery vehicles, busses LONG before they were even talked about in the west.
  • @saideng2761
    Last year when i went back to China and surprisingly found 30% of the cars on the road are all electric. This all happens within 3 years, it's insane.
  • I hope they bring to the USA. I’ll buy it. I would love to see Tesla have competition, and BYD is going for a lot of new things. They’ve also are working on an electric car that doesn’t have rotors and pads for braking, it uses the electric motor accelerate, regenerate, and brake. I love the idea of two charges, 10 mins is less than the interval between track sessions. I don’t know about the suspension but I would love to try something new.
