In yet another brilliant and hilarious video, John Codogan schools some dumbass individuals making dumbass decisions on behalf of a car manufacturer. It's the kind of publicity you don't want, because it costs you more in sales and cred than you saved in screwing over your customer. Jeep is now learning this.
I am certainly going to steer clear of this company who decided to ignore Warranty Regulations and Australian Consumer Law and got schooled themselves.
John gives some great alternate names for BYD which I will list here plus one of his subscribers came up with one he missed. Bring Your Defibrillator | Burn Your Dreams | Burn Your Driveway | Betray Your Drivers | Bone Your Delight | Burn Your Decency | Bury Your Driver | Boost Your Damage | Bend Your Decency | Bringing You Disaster.
Corporate Bullshit. 14 month old BYD blade battery dies after just 33,000km whilst driving at 100km/h and it takes them months and months to fix it.
Update added 19 April 2026
My prediction: In view of the above video and the original one above about the quality of these cars, BYD will go bust leaving many people around the world including Aussies with cars that are valueless. This will probably happen after a lot of established car companies packup and leave Australia because they can't compete with cheapie cheapie subsidized rubbish. In view of how smart most Aussies are (or aren't really), based on my observations over the years, they will buy this rubbish cheapie cheapie crap and financially will have to cop it (along with me).
Xpeng has been bought out by the actual manufacturer because it went belly up.
