Have you recently heard Elon Musk saying on Tesla (TSLA) stock earnings call that without trade barriers Chinese EV car makers will demolish American EV producers? One Chinese EV company, called BYD Auto, stands out. In this Tesla vs BYD video, I will take an in-depth look at who BYD is and why Elon Musk is rightly worried about Chinese EV car producers.

Recently, BYD overtook Tesla Motors (TSLA) as the largest producer of electric vehicles in the world. Although most of its sales are in China (around 70%), BYD is rapidly expanding overseas. With its cost advantages, generous government subsidies and cheap EV models (e.g. BYD Seagull for a mere $11K), BYD poses significant challenges to established car markers, including Tesla.

For now, 25% tariff in the US and the denial of "Buy America" tax credits keep Chinese EV car makers at bay. But, for how long? If Chinese car markers start building factories in/around the US, Tesla stock could be up for trouble.
