BYD executive warns Musk over Tesla's AI focus

A senior executive at BYD Co. stoked the Chinese automaker’s rivalry with Tesla Inc., warning Elon Musk that he’ll face challenges in intelligent driving systems.

BYD is “very strong now,” Zhao Changjiang, the head of sales for the firm’s Denza joint venture with Mercedes-Benz AG, wrote on Chinese social media platform Weibo on Wednesday, saying he was responding to a comment made online earlier this month.

"FIRES warning..." I see what you did there ;)

 
The media insists on pitting these companies against each other for the sensationalism of course, albeit manufactured drama. These two are leading the electric auto industry AGAINST the legacy OEMs, not each other.

Elon Musk started a price war that Tesla can't win

Tesla has spent the past year slashing its prices to try and drive away the competition. That's a losing strategy.

It seems like they are competing against each other as well as the legacy OEM.

They make batteries for each other!

This is more like Toyota competing with BMW yet sharing parts, designs other things.
 
If Elon is still holding true with his original vision of bringing EV adoption to the world then its still going his way with the price drops and competition increasing.
