What makes cars from companies like Dacia or BYD appealing compared to Tesla, especially in Europe?

To a customer used to Skodas, Renaults and VWs, they look very attractive.

BYD are Chinese EVs. What makes them attractive is that they are fully featured cars at very attractive prices. Currently their base line model costs 300 000 SEK and is expected to hit 250 000 SEK by autumn. A Tesla Model Y costs 556 000 SEK in baseline configuration.

Dacias are cheap and made in Romania. For my USian followers, think Yugo.

MAGA talking heads are saying that no MAGA child would publicly cry for their father, and want Gus Walz investigated as a crisis actor. I cried for my father and mother when they won or lost in life, am I a weird conservative or is MAGA messed up?
