So many Chinese bots lately.
this bot is a moderator and iirc pulls posts directly from reddit. it might be a Chinese bot that posted it in Reddit, but not on Lemmy.
Thanks for the context. Just seems like there are so many articles about BYD lately.
I mean they sell a shit-ton of cars, so I don’t think it’s that surprising. Telsa also gets posted like crazy. Less bots, and more people who are excessively attached to the brand probably.
They’re probably trying to make a push into the US market. I agree the number of posts about them over the last week or two has been ridiculous but they’re probably spamming and astroturfing the shit out of reddit which the bot is picking up on.
I’d be surprised if they really try to push the BYD brand in the US. I think Geely is probably taking the right approach in using brands with varying degrees of establishment (Volvo, Lotus, Polestar).
They are currently dumping their cars in the UK market and I think Parliament is considering increasing their tariffs. If they try and enter the US, best believe they will tax the shit out of them.
