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

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

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.

What was the most inappropriate thing your parent caught you doing as a teen? Was in the bedroom, I thought nobody else was home. My sister and I shared that bedroom but I knew she was gone. I didn’t know my dad was home though.
