Which is great to throw around numbers, but how are their reliability numbers? Before I throw out my 20 year old Honda for a BYD, how is the 20 year old BYD (or Telsa or Slate) doing? Unfortunately we don't know, though we're coming up on 29 years for Tesla soon.

Frag,

I am engaging in this from a "Logic 101" perspective. I saw a false premise used in an argument and I only wanted to point that out.

I have no actual position on cars brands or apple computers or any of that.

14 years, really, if you don’t count the roadster (which I think it is correct not to do).

The comment you're replying to is saying that in fair markets, BYD is taking market share away from Toyota even without the proven track record of reliability. Saying "But I wouldn't buy a BYD unless I knew it was reliable" is kind of missing the point.
