Well, I feel misled. The graphic shows a Volvo as a Chinese manufactured vehicle.
They're counting Tesla as a Chinese EV.
Where were they manufactured?
In China. But the majority of Teslas are manufactured are in China, and no one really considers Teslas "Chinese cars" or "Chinese EVs".
So manufactured in China like the article says.
Doesn't stop it from being misleading.
It's called "burying the lede".
It's misleading based on your arguably less important criteria, but OK
Wow, you think Teslas are "Chinese EVs". You're literally the first person I've encountered to think so. Also why lead into an article with a graphic of the least selling vehicle?
In Australia they’re all manufactured in China. So it’s a Chinese car.
Cars in high developed economies like Australia have until recently been mainly manufactured in highly developed economies like EU, Japan, US etc.
Isn’t there a Chinese Tesla factory?
Because the Australian Teslas and Volvos are made in China. It's a Chinese EV. Volvo is owned by a Chinese Company.
Still, the BYD figure is nothing to be scoffed at.
