Test Drive: Is BYD as Good as Tesla?：by Michael Dunne

Test Drive: Is BYD as Good as Tesla? Tesla (L) versus BYD (R) (Tesla, BYD, and Win McNamee via Getty Images). The China automaker is making big gains in the EV market, but Tesla still has the edge. Today it is Tesla that finds itself in the crosshairs, pursued by the feisty new kid on the block, BYD, backed by an investment from Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway. This year, BYD is on track to sell five million vehicles, about three times more than Tesla. BYD also makes surgical masks and ramped up production dramatically during the pandemic. As for the BYD cars, we’ve likely seen some images but never experienced a BYD vehicle firsthand. *How good can this Chinese car company really be*, Joe America wonders, *when we do not see BYDs on the streets of New York or Los Angeles?*.

It’s America versus China in this EV challenge, as we put a 2025 BYD Sealion 7 head-to-head against a 2025 Tesla Model Y Juniper to find out which is better, which is faster, and which has more toys!

Both vehicles in this test are ‘entry level’ rear-wheel-drive models to see which has the most of everything for the lowest price, but also which has the better battery warranty, the better user interface and the best ride quality.

This comparison video ended up being much closer than expected with both vehicles performing very well, but as with any showdown, there can be only one winner! So, grab your popcorn and settle in for an entertaining, educational, and oftentimes ridiculous battle of the EVs!
