BYD overtakes Tesla on electric vehicles, growth under scrutiny

BYD delivered 490,168 new energy vehicles in October, with exports up 102.8%, and now outpaces Tesla on electric vehicles, with Toyota remaining the world's largest automaker. This commercial momentum is accompanied, however, by quarterly profit below expectations and analyst doubts about the quality of growth, between dealer discounts and export profitability. In China, the automaker remains the leader in the new energy vehicle market despite a decline in domestic sales in October, and broker opinions are divided, with some maintaining a sell recommendation. In the United States, Wall Street is divided and Michael Burry is strengthening his position, while in Japan volumes remain modest (1,271 vehicles in the first quarter of 2026).
