Not in the US they won't when the average new car is older than 10 years. Vehicles simply don't cycle through that quickly and most people are slow to trust a new brand. BYD's current total of dealers in the US: 0

A 9 month or even a year delay isn't a problem if they can get the cost of their EV's down. That is the real issue that a Blazer EV is like $60,000, the Equinox EV is launching over $50k. They need to suck cost and weight out of Ultium. And Hyundai isn't the threat, BYD and the Chinese are, because they already have cheap EV's in China, they are entering Europe now and they'll be in the USA by 2030. And for the "people won't buy a Chinese car" argument, they said that about Japanese and Korean cars too, and they will buy a Chinese EV when you can get a 7-seat SUV with a 350 mile range for $40k like the BYD Tang delivers now, and the BYD has a better interior than the Blazer.
