wasn't BYD, and not Li, the closest rival?

As a Chinese person, I've never heard of Li. I've only heard of BYD and Geely as Tesla rivals.
No, they're way ahead of Tesla.
the word 'rival' doesn't necessarily mean that Tesla is ahead.
but i'm not an expert on this subject either. I've heard/read/watched about BYD, i have yet to see one while I see Teslas everyday. I know that globally BYD is selling more, but in Europe it's still Tesla that sells more.
I would never buy a Tesla and i think the world would be a better place tomorrow, if elonMusk drops dead right now.
my favorite car is this thing :)
