This week has been a rollercoaster ride in the world of electric vehicles and ride-hailing services. From&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) recalling hundreds of thousands of vehicles to&nbsp;Warren Buffett-backed&nbsp;BYD Co&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) launching an affordable EV in Australia, there&#8217;s a lot to catch up on.

Tesla Recalls Over 239,000 Vehicles
Tesla is recalling 239,382 vehicles in the U.S. due to concerns about the loss of rearview camera image, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The issue arises from a potential short in the computer circuit board. Tesla has released a software update to address the problem and will replace affected computers free of charge. The recall includes 2024-25 Model 3 and Model S vehicles and 2023-25 Model X and Model Y.

This move could significantly boost Australia&#8217;s EV market. Despite selling a portion of its stake, Berkshire still owns around 4.9% of BYD, representing approximately $1.8 billion in its portfolio.

Tesla Recalls Over 239,000 Vehicles, Uber and Lyft Revamp Robotaxi Strategy, Warren Buffett-Backed BYD Launches Affordable EV And More: This Week In Mobility

Electric vehicle company BYD Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) is launching the first electric vehicle to come with a starting price under $30,000 in Australia, a move that could boost the country's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/electric-vehicles">electric vehicle market.</a>
What Happened: Along with investing in blue-chip U.S. companies, Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) CEO Warren Buffett has recognized the investment opportunity<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/24/12/42535041/warren-buffett-gains-exposure-to-digital-banks-in-africa-south-america-heres-how"> in emerging markets.</a>
One of Buffett's investments is owning a stake in Chinese company BYD, a global leader in electric vehicle. While Buffett has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39481191/warren-buffets-berkshire-drops-byd-stake-despite-ev-leader-seeing-record-sales">sold a portion</a> of the company's stake in BYD, Berkshire still owns around 4.9% of the company, representing around $1.8 billion in the Berkshire portfolio.
BYD could see a boost to its growth in 2025 thanks to the launch of a new version of its popular Dolphin EV in Australia.
A new stripped-down version of the Dolphin comes with a starting price of $29,900 in Australia, as <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/01/08/byd-just-launched-first-ev-priced-under-30000-australia/">reported </a>by Electrek, <a href="https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/chinese-giant-brings-first-ev-for-under-30-000-to-australia-20250108-p5l2vb.html">citing </a>The Sydney Morning Herald.
BYD has launched models like the Dolphin, Atto 3 and Seagull in Australia over the years and it now has the cheapest EV in the country, replacing the previous record of $30,990 by the MG4, which later raised its price to $38,000.
The lower-cost model does not include some normal Dolphin features like a sunroof, heated seats and a wireless phone charger. The new Dolphin model comes with the same battery range of 350 km (217 miles) as the other Dolphin models.
Deliveries of the new Dolphin model are set to begin in March.
You may not be a billionaire like Warren Buffett, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42798998/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: BYD is one of the largest electric vehicle companies in the world, selling 4.27 million new energy vehicles globally, which includes electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, in 2024. This total was up 41% year-over-year.
In Australia, BYD ranked second for 2024 EV sales and had a 14.6% year-over-year gain in units sold. Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) ranked first in 2024 with a market share of 42% of EVs in Australia, but saw its year-over-year sales decline 16.8%, as <a href="https://www.drive.com.au/news/australias-best-selling-electric-cars-2024/">reported </a>by Drive.
Other EV companies like BYD saw their sales gain 28.8% year-over-year while Tesla fell, helping to set a record in Australia for a sixth straight year. The country had 91,292 EVs sold across cars, SUVs and light commercial vehicles, up 4.7% year-over-year and representing 7.4% of all new vehicles sold in the year.
EV sales faced pressure in Australia in the second half of 2024 with an overall drop of 6.9% year-over-year, with Tesla sales falling 25.8% year-over-year and other EV models gaining 9.6% year-over-year.
Tesla had the top two selling vehicles in Australia in 2024 with the Model Y and model 3 ranking first and second respectively.
BYD had three of the top 10 selling EVs in the country with the Seal, Atto 3 and Dolphin ranking fourth, fifth and eighth respectively.
A new lower-priced Dolphin could continue to cut into Tesla's market share. The EV company has watched its market share in Australia fall from 59% in 2022 to 53% in 2023 to 42% in 2024.
The Shark, which is BYD's first pickup truck, has over 5,500 preorders placed according to the report and deliveries begin soon. BYD will also launch the new Sealion 07, which is called a Model Y competitor. The Sealion 07 starts at under $60,000, falling in similar range of the Model Y, which starts at $55,900.

Several exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, allow investors to track the stocks of electric vehicle manufacturers, including Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) or its China-based competitors, Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>), XPeng (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) and BYD (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>).
These funds allow investors to diversify their risks by owning chunks of shares in multiple EV plays rather than choosing to put all eggs in one basket. Here are three ETFs with exposure to Tesla and its rivals:
<ul>
<li>iShares Self-Driving EV and Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDRV#NYSE">IDRV</a>): This fund tracks the NYSEA FactSet Global Autonomous Driving and Electric Vehicle Index. Its allocation is fairly evenly distributed among multiple auto companies. Tesla (4.11%), Li Auto (4.48%), XPeng (3.79%), BYD (4.08%) and Nio (3.99%) are among its top holdings. It charges a 0.47% expense ratio.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SPDR S&amp;P Kensho Smart Mobility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAIL#NYSE">HAIL</a>): This ETF tracks U.S.-listed companies participating in the smart transportation sector, as well as the S&amp;P Kensho Smart Transportation Index. Major holdings include Tesla (1.53%), NIO (1.67%), Li Auto (1.8%), and XPeng (1.55%). The ETF has an expense ratio of 0.45% and about $24.62 million in assets under management (AUM) as of Jan. 2.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRIV#NASDAQ">DRIV</a>): This ETF's exposure covers all aspects of the EV industry. The fund has $386.76 million of net AUM as of Jan. 2, and comes with an expense ratio of 0.68%. Major automakers, including Tesla (4.86%), XPeng (1.61%) and Nio (1.18%), are a part of the fund's holdings. General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), which is committed to go all-electric soon, also enjoys a share of the fund. The ETF also offers exposure to lucrative industries like semiconductors, batteries, and software for EVs. The fund mirrors the Solactive Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles Index.</li>

Why It Matters: S&amp;P Global Mobility expects 15.1 million battery electric vehicles to be sold in 2025. That&#8217;s a 30% increase from 2024. 
EVs are likely to account for 16.7% of global light vehicle sales in 2025, with China leading at 29.7% market share.
Tesla reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42782683/tesla-hits-record-ev-sales-in-china-despite-global-dip">record EV sales</a> in December. For the year, the EV-maker's China sales reached 657,000 vehicles—an 8.8% on-year increase. These numbers reveal that China remains critical for Tesla, contributing around 40% of its global deliveries in Q4.
Tesla's deepening foothold in China has also spurred a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42761825/ev-price-war-heats-up-as-chinese-automakers-extend-subsidies">competitive battle of sorts involving prices</a>. The Austin, Texas-based company made the smart move of putting a 10,000-yuan discount on Model Y loans through December. This prompted Nio and Li Auto to follow suit with zero-interest loans and cash subsidies. 
Nio's December sales spiked 72.9% year-over-year while Li Auto posted a 16.2% increase.
BYD, for its part, offered up to 11.5% discounts and reaped the rewards in the form of a 50% year-over-year jump in December sales of new energy passenger vehicles.
XPeng, meanwhile, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42737888/tesla-rival-xpeng-to-hire-over-6000-workers-in-2025-expecting-increased-competition-report">plans to onboard over 6,000 employees</a> in 2025, Reuters reported. Anticipating intensified pricing pressures starting January, the company is also strategizing global expansion schemes, aiming to tap over 60 international markets by 2025.
This competition brings us to a broader trend: China expects to sell over 12 million EVs in 2025, doubling 2022 figures, and Tesla increasingly seeking a bigger piece of the pie.
Analyst Daniel Ives of Wedbush remains optimistic on Tesla. He predicts 20%-30% delivery growth in 2025 and maintains an "Outperform" rating with a $515 price target.

Global EV Sales Poised To Grow In 2025: 3 ETFs In Focus

Chinese EV giant BYD Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) overtook Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) yet again as the world&#8217;s biggest battery electric vehicle (BEV) seller in the fourth quarter of 2024. 
What Happened: Tesla reported on Thursday that it delivered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on">495,570 BEVs in the three months</a> through the end of December, significantly lower than the 595,413 BEVs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42758760/tesla-rival-byd-marks-50-growth-in-december-passenger-vehicle-sales-likely-to-trump-tesla-in-q4-bev-sales-yet-again">sold by BYD</a> in the period.
Though BYD managed to trump Tesla in the fourth quarter, the American EV giant delivered 1,789,226 BEVs through 2024, retaining its position as the bestselling pure EV brand for the year. BYD, meanwhile, managed to deliver only 1,764,992 BEVs in the twelve months, or 24,234 units less than Tesla. 
Why It Matters: BYD first took over Tesla as the world&#8217;s largest BEV seller in the last quarter of 2023. Tesla took back the title in the first quarter of 2024 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42680542/tesla-or-byd-which-ev-giant-will-sell-more-battery-electric-vehicles-in-q4">retained it for three consecutive quarters</a>. 
2024 marks the first year that Tesla&#8217;s annual deliveries have fallen (1.1%) as compared to the previous year. In 2023, Tesla delivered 1,808,581 vehicles around the globe. To mark a growth over last year, the company had to deliver at least 514,926 vehicles in the three months through the end of December.&nbsp;However, the company could not even breach the 500,000 target. 
BYD&#8217;s 2024 BEV sales, meanwhile, marked a growth of 12% year-on-year, according to a previous report.

Tesla Overtaken by BYD Again: Chinese Player Becomes World's Biggest EV Seller In Q4

Chinese EV giant&nbsp;BYD Co Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) said on Wednesday that the company sold 509,440 new energy passenger vehicles in December, marking a jump of nearly 50% from last year, thanks to a major jump in plug-in hybrid passenger vehicle sales.
Sales Numbers For December:&nbsp;Battery electric passenger vehicle sales of the Chinese player rose to 207,734 in December, marking a rise of about 9% from the corresponding month of last year.
Plug-in hybrid passenger vehicle sales in the period rose about 102% to 301,706 units.
The company also sold 5,369 commercial vehicles in December, including 1,375 buses.
Production Numbers: BYD produced 460,719 passenger vehicles in December, including 189,759 battery-electric vehicles and 270,960 plug-in hybrids.
BYD stopped making combustion engine vehicles in March 2022 to focus on electric vehicles. The company makes both battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, collectively referred to as new energy vehicles. 
Why It Matters: BYD overtook its American rival Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in the fourth quarter of 2023 as the world's biggest seller of battery-electric vehicles, selling 526,409 battery-electric vehicles. Tesla, however, took back the title in the first quarter of this year and has been holding on to it since.
BYD delivered 595,413 battery electric vehicles in the last quarter of 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42680542/tesla-or-byd-which-ev-giant-will-sell-more-battery-electric-vehicles-in-q4">likely beating Tesla</a>. According to Tesla researcher Troy Teslike, the company is expected to report just 501,000 vehicle deliveries in the quarter.
Tesla is expected to officially report its fourth quarter deliveries<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/24/12/42745852/tesla-q4-delivery-preview-will-2024-stock-gains-hold-as-growth-slows"> after the market opens on Jan. 2.</a> 
For the full year 2023, Tesla delivered 1,808,581 vehicles around the globe. To mark a growth over last year, the company has to deliver at least 514,926 vehicles in the three months through the end of December. Tesla has not delivered over 500,000 vehicles in a quarter to date, making this an ambitious target.

Tesla Rival BYD Marks 50% Growth In December Passenger Vehicle Sales, Likely To Trump Tesla In Q4 BEV Sales Yet Again

Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), the Chinese EV maker, has been making headlines — but not for the right reasons. The stock just flashed a technical Death Cross, a bearish indicator where the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average. Let's discuss whether there's hope for a bullish reversal.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent122724&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="810" height="550" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27073727/NIO-Death-Cross.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-709161" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27073727/NIO-Death-Cross.jpg 810w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27073727/NIO-Death-Cross-300x204.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27073727/NIO-Death-Cross-768x521.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px" /></a></figure>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Nio Stock Chart: Death Cross In Motion</h1>
Nio's stock, at $4.69, is lagging behind its 50-day moving average of $4.83 and 200-day average of $4.83 as well. Other indicators, like a negative MACD and a middling RSI of 51.05, suggest the market hasn't decided whether to stay bearish or gamble on a rebound.
Adding to the uncertainty, Nio's performance has been mixed. Nio stock is down 44% YTD, despite a modest 7% gain in the past month. A stagnating price trend coupled with slight selling pressure is fueling skepticism among technical analysts.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Onvo L60: A Tesla Challenger?</h1>
Amid the market gloom, Nio's product cycle offers a glimmer of hope. The company's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42697306/onvo-sells-20000-evs-in-100-days-of-launch-gearing-to-be-nios-best-selling-brand"> Onvo L60 SUV</a>, a sleek competitor to Tesla's Model Y, is garnering attention for its 900-volt EV platform and competitive pricing. 
In the third week of December, Nio's insurance registrations rose 23%, supported by 2,090 Onvo L60 units.
CEO William Li remains bullish, forecasting a strong product cycle starting in 2025. "We've started monetizing investments in new technologies and vehicle lineups," Li <a href="https://technode.com/2024/12/24/nio-ceo-says-company-prepared-for-market-upheaval-in-2025/">said</a> during Nio Day, adding that innovation will drive future growth.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">China's EV Race: Tough Competition</h1>
The Chinese EV market remains fiercely competitive. While Nio <a href="https://carnewschina.com/2024/12/24/china-ev-registrations-in-w51-nio-5400-xiaomi-6000-tesla-17600-byd-87700/#google_vignette">registered</a> 5,400 vehicles in the third week of December, it trailed Xiaomi, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and BYD Co (OTCPK: BYDDF), which reported 6,000, 17,600, and 87,700 registrations, respectively.
The challenge? Nio needs more than a competitive SUV to outpace its rivals. Tesla and BYD dominate with scale and brand power, leaving Nio to carve a niche in affordability and innovation.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Is A Bullish Reversal In Sight?</h1>
Nio's Death Cross is a warning, but its innovative product lineup and CEO optimism could signal potential for a bullish reversal. 
The stock may remain volatile in the short term, but for risk-tolerant investors, 2025's product cycle could be worth the wait. Bullish or bearish? This EV underdog isn't out of the race just yet.

Nio's Death Cross Meets Tesla Competition: Could Onvo L60 SUV Spark A Bullish Comeback?

Acute competition posed a bummer for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chinese-ev-makers" rel="noreferrer noopener">China&#8217;s automotive industry</a> profit margins in 2024, taking a toll on weaker electric vehicle makers like Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) and Geely Automobile Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GELYF#OTC">GELYF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GELYY#OTC">GELYY</a>)-backed Jiyue and&nbsp;Human Horizons Group Inc.
Car industry margins in China averaged 4.4% from January through November, down from 5.0% in 2023, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-27/chinese-carmakers-profits-squeezed-further-as-rivalry-ramps-up?srnd=phx-industries&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">cited</a> data from China&#8217;s Passenger Car Association on Friday.
The margins still trailed the average profit margin of 6.1% of downstream industrial enterprises, Bloomberg cites PCA.

The EV industry revenue for the first 11 months of 2024 rose by 3% to 9.5 trillion yuan ($1.3 trillion), Bloomberg cites PCA. Profits declined by 7.3% to 413.2 billion yuan.
Bloomberg cites&nbsp;Cui Dongshu, the PCA secretary general, as saying that the industry must slash costs and boost efficiency due to the dwindling margins.
China&#8217;s car market, especially its EV sector, has experienced intense rivalry for at least the last two years, prompting a price war.

The country will likely sell over 12 million EVs in 2025, doubling 2022 figures, while traditional car sales may drop below 11 million.
China&#8217;s EV industry progress stems from advancements in domestic technology, securing a global supply chain for lithium and cobalt, and leveraging its large-scale manufacturing to make EVs more affordable for consumers.

Toyota's Global Output Slips 6.2%, While Company Donates $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund

BYD Co., Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), the Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) giant, has reportedly expanded its global footprint by entering the Ethiopian market.
On December 21, the company partnered with Ethiopian distributor Moenco, a subsidiary of the Inchcape Group, to launch its brand in the East African country, CnEV Post <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/12/24/byd-enters-ethiopia/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

The brand unveiling, held in Addis Ababa, introduced five of BYD&#8217;s battery electric vehicle (BEV) models, including the compact Seagull hatchback and the Tang SUV, marking a significant step in BYD&#8217;s efforts to expand its presence in Africa.
This move comes on the heels of BYD&#8217;s recent entry into<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42485764/tesla-rival-byd-enters-omani-market-launches-five-ev-models-as-part-of-gulf-expansion-report" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the Omani automotive market</a>. Earlier this month, the company celebrated a brand launch in Muscat, where it also opened three local stores.
In Oman, BYD introduced five models, including the Han, Yuan Plus, Seal, Song Plus DM-i, and Qin Plus DM-i, all aligning with the country&#8217;s push for sustainable development under Vision 2040.
However, BYD&#8217;s international expansion has not been without challenges. Brazilian authorities recently halted the construction of a BYD plant in Salvador, Bahia, after rescuing 163 workers living <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42667814/brazil-authorities-halt-work-at-byd-factory-site-after-workers-found-in-slavery-like-conditions" rel="noreferrer noopener">in what they described as &#8220;slavery-like&#8221; conditions.</a>
Authorities shut down the workers&#8217; lodgings and issued a statement in cooperation with BYD and construction contractor Jinjiang Construction Brazil Ltd. While BYD continues to promote green mobility, this setback highlights the ongoing challenges the company faces in its global growth strategy.

Tesla Rival BYD Enters Omani Market, Launches Five EV Models As Part Of Gulf Expansion: Report

American EV giant Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) China sales are picking up momentum despite trailing behind Chinese EV maker BYD Co Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>).
What Happened: Insurance registrations for Tesla vehicles in China came in at 21,900 units for the week that ended on December 8, marking its second-best week in 2024, according <a href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/12/10/china-ev-insurance-registrations-week-ending-dec-8-2024/">to</a> a report by CnEVPost.
The week prior to that, the company had just 18,700 registrations.
Tesla&#8217;s Chinese competitor BYD, meanwhile, had 85,000 registrations, down 13.09% from the week before. BYD, unlike Tesla, makes both battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids.
EV startup Li Auto is following Tesla close on heels with weekly registrations touching 12,600 last week. China&#8217;s newest EV entrant, Xiaomi, also had 5,400 insurance registrations last week. Insurance registrations in China are considered a proxy for sales.
Analyst Take: Tesla Bull and The Future Fund Managing Partner Gary Black deems the latest insurance registration numbers &#8220;outstanding.&#8221;
&#8220;Tesla China reported an outstanding 21,900 insured registrations for the week of Dec 2-8. This was the 2nd highest week of the year, and 3rd highest week ever. With 3 weeks left in the quarter, 4Q is +17.8% YoY and +9.5% QoQ,&#8221; Black noted.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Tesla has to deliver at least 514,926 EVs globally in the last quarter if it is to beat its 2023 delivery number of nearly 1.81 million.

However, Tesla has never managed to deliver over 500,000 EVs in a quarter to date, making this an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41894615/tesla-q4-deliveries-expected-to-set-new-records-but-not-enough-to-avoid-yearly-sales-decline-says-researcher" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ambitious target.</a>
In the third quarter, Tesla reported deliveries of 462,890 vehicles, up 6.4% year-over-year and up 4.3% quarter-over-quarter.
Deliveries fell 8.5% year-on-year in the first quarter and by 4.8% in the second quarter.

Consumer Tech News (Dec 2-Dec 6): FBI Advises To Adopt Encrypted Messaging Apps, Elon Musk Completed First Starlink Satellite Constellation & More

In the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/electric-vehicles">electric vehicle (EV) battle</a>, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and BYD Co Ltd (OTCPK: BYDDF) (OTCPK: BYDDY) are two titans vying for dominance. Tesla dominates the premium EV space with its technological prowess and global brand appeal, while BYD, a Chinese heavyweight, is reshaping the mid-tier and budget markets with its diversified lineup and affordability.
With Tesla riding a wave of bullish momentum and BYD facing near-term headwinds, how do these EV giants stack up against each other in the battle for supremacy?
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla vs. BYD: The Innovation Race</h1>
Tesla is known for its innovation and global leadership in the premium EV market. CEO Elon Musk's company continues to expand its production capacity and maintain a commanding presence, particularly in North America and Europe.
Meanwhile, BYD, often referred to as Tesla's Chinese counterpart, benefits from strong government backing and a broader product range, including electric buses and plug-in hybrids. 
While Tesla emphasizes a technology-first strategy, BYD's competitive edge lies in affordability and its deep integration into China's robust green energy ecosystem.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla Stock&#8217;s Bullish Surge: A Market Leader On The Move</h1>
Tesla stock is charging forward, fueled by both solid fundamentals and strong technicals. Over the past year, Tesla stock has surged by 51.58%, a staggering 102.56% over the past six months, and 47.05% over the past month.
This growth isn't just a fluke; it's supported by Tesla&#8217;s dominant position in the EV market, its continual innovation, and an expanding global presence.

From a technical standpoint, TSLA stock is in clear bullish territory, with the stock price comfortably above its five-, 20- and 50-day EMA (exponential moving averages). The current trend points to continued upside, with key indicators such as the eight-day SMA (simple moving average) ($344.68), 20-day SMA ($329.15) and 50-day SMA ($277.09) signaling strong momentum.
Even the 200-day SMA ($216.38) is supporting a bullish outlook, solidifying Tesla's position as a market leader.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">BYD's Stock Struggles: Is A Rebound In The Cards?</h1>
On the flip side, BYD has had a more challenging few months. The stock has dropped by 8.65% in the last month, despite a 25.79% gain over the past year. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent120324&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="490" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/03094105/Screenshot-2024-12-03-at-8.10.28-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-674658" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/03094105/Screenshot-2024-12-03-at-8.10.28-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/03094105/Screenshot-2024-12-03-at-8.10.28-PM-300x234.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent120324&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
Technically, BYD is in bearish territory, with the stock trading below its five, 20 and 50-day EMA. However, there's some buying pressure building, particularly with the eight-day SMA ($33.42) signaling a bullish shift. There&#8217;s buying pressure from near-term levels suggesting potential for recovery.
With BYD's plans to ramp up exports and enter new markets, the company is positioning itself to challenge Tesla on a broader scale. BYD remains a formidable player in the global EV market, with strong backing from China's green energy initiatives. Investors will be keeping a close eye on whether the company can regain its momentum and spark a reversal.
Tesla's premium play and BYD's mass-market focus paint a compelling picture of the EV landscape. While Tesla leads in innovation, BYD's affordability could make it a formidable contender in the long run. The EV battle between these two is just heating up — who will win the race?

Tesla Vs. BYD: The EV Duel Heats Up

China&#8217;s BYD Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) biggest electric vehicle rival, has quietly become a major force in Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) manufacturing ecosystem, now assembling more than 30% of iPads while planning an ambitious artificial intelligence venture with Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
What Happened: The Shenzhen-based company, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41647639/teslas-chinese-rival-byd-outshines-elon-musks-ev-giant-in-quarterly-revenue-for-first-time-since-202">surpassed Tesla in quarterly revenue</a> for the first time with $28 billion versus Tesla&#8217;s $25 billion in the third quarter of 2024, has dedicated approximately 100,000 employees to Apple&#8217;s supply chain, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/building-apple-products-has-become-a-side-hustle-for-chinas-biggest-ev-maker-f26e251c?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal.
This partnership, which began around 2009, has evolved from basic component processing to crucial assembly operations.
Apple CEO Tim Cook acknowledged the significance of Chinese manufacturers during his November Beijing visit, his third this year, stating, &#8220;We could not do what we do without them.&#8221; The relationship has deepened despite U.S. efforts to reduce dependency on Chinese manufacturing.
Beyond iPad assembly, BYD has secured critical roles in iPhone production, including manufacturing titanium frames for the latest Pro models. 
The company&#8217;s precision manufacturing capabilities extend to both automotive and consumer electronics, with BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu leveraging this dual expertise to forge partnerships with other tech giants like Xiaomi and Huawei.

This success in both sectors has positioned BYD for its next venture: developing AI-powered manufacturing robots in collaboration with Nvidia.

The collaboration influenced BYD&#8217;s current Blade battery system, now used across its entire vehicle lineup.
Warren Buffett&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway, an early BYD investor since 2008, has witnessed the company&#8217;s transformation from a battery manufacturer to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41372383/apple-had-a-hush-hush-relationship-with-teslas-chinese-rival-byd-for-now-abandoned-car-plans-cuperti">global technology powerhouse</a> straddling both the automotive and consumer electronics sectors.

BYD Surpassed Tesla In Quarterly Revenue For The First Time In Q3. It Assembles Over 30% Of iPads For Apple, And Is Now Planning To Build AI Robots For Nvidia

Chinese EV giant BYD Co Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) said on Sunday that the company sold 506,804 new energy passenger vehicles in November, marking a jump of nearly 68% from last year, thanks to a major jump in plug-in hybrid passenger vehicle sales.
What Happened:&nbsp;Pure passenger EV (battery electric vehicle) sales of the Chinese player rose to 198,065 in November, marking a rise of 16.4% from the corresponding month of last year.
Plug-in hybrid passenger vehicle sales in the period rose 133% to 305,938 units.
The company also sold 2,801 commercial vehicles in November, including 449 buses.
Why It Matters: BYD is the biggest rival to American EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36839203/warren-buffett-backed-byd-sees-higher-profits-for-fy23-after-taking-over-tesla-as-biggest-ev-seller" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">took over Tesla</a> as the world&#8217;s largest BEV seller in the fourth quarter of 2023. However, Tesla took back the crown in the first quarter of 2024 and has been holding on to it since.
For the third quarter between July and September, BYD&#8217;s operating revenue rose 24% to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41647639/teslas-chinese-rival-byd-outshines-elon-musks-ev-giant-in-quarterly-revenue-for-first-time-since-202" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">201.12 billion yuan ($28.25 billion)</a>, the company said in a filing.

Tesla Rival BYD Marks 68% Growth In November Sales Driven By Popularity Of Plug-In Hybrid EVs

Amid rising tensions over trade policies, Mexico faces a dilemma regarding a potential investment from Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer&nbsp;BYD (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>). This comes as President-elect&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42178994/trump-says-he-will-impose-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-on-first-day-of-office-and-extra-tariffs-on-china-until-they-pay-attention">plans&nbsp;to impose a 25%</a> tariff&nbsp;on Mexican goods, raising concerns about the implications of hosting a Chinese EV factory.
What Happened: BYD is in the final stages of planning a new factory in Mexico. The company is negotiating with Mexican state officials to establish the&nbsp;factory near one of the&nbsp;country&#8217;s&nbsp;automotive hubs in central or&nbsp;northern Mexico. However, Trump&#8217;s tariff threats have complicated these plans. 
Mexico, a significant car manufacturing hub, typically welcomes foreign investment for job creation. Yet, officials are wary that a BYD plant might signal to Trump that Mexico is facilitating Chinese companies&#8217; access to the U.S. market, Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/mexico-gets-cold-feet-over-new-chinese-ev-plant-after-trump-win-3b92f1c3">reported</a> on Tuesday.
"At this time, investments from China have to be analyzed with extreme caution," said Eduardo Solís, the former president of the Mexican Association of the Automotive Industry.
"Mexico has to present itself with a business card that says: reliable partner of North America."

Trump&#8217;s tariff threat is part of broader issues, including immigration and fentanyl smuggling. Mexico is working to assure the U.S. and Canada that it is not a conduit for Chinese goods as talks on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement are set to begin next year. Eduardo Solís, a former leader of Mexico's automotive industry association, emphasized the need for caution with Chinese investments, stating Mexico must present itself as a reliable North American partner.
Why It Matters: BYD&nbsp;had previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40693961/chinas-ev-giant-byd-reportedly-delays-mexico-move-eyes-us-election-results-before-big-investment">delayed its investment</a> in Mexico, awaiting the outcome of the U.S. election. The company aims to sell 100,000 electric vehicles in Mexico by 2025, despite potential tariff challenges.&nbsp;BYD&nbsp;plans to reveal the location of its first Mexican factory by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41246093/byd-targets-100k-ev-sales-in-mexico-by-2025-as-trump-vows-200-tariffs-on-chinese-made-cars-in-north">the end of the year</a>, with an initial production capacity of 150,000 vehicles.
Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs are part of a broader strategy to address border issues and drug smuggling, with additional tariffs on Chinese imports until these issues are resolved.

Amid Trump's Plans To Impose 25% Tariffs, Mexico Fears BYD New Factory In Country Would Send Wrong Message: 'Investments From China Have To Be Analyzed With Extreme Caution'

Chinese EV giant BYD Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) has made nearly a million new energy vehicles in less than two months, the company said in a post on social media X on Monday.

BYD Executive Vice President&nbsp;He Zhiqi&nbsp;said on Weibo earlier this month that the company hired over 200,000 people from August to October&nbsp;for car and components manufacturing and increased production by nearly 200,000 vehicles.
According to BYD, the company made over 1.3 million NEVs in the three months from August to October, compared to nearly 900,000 units that it manufactured in the corresponding period of last year.
Why It Matters: For the third quarter between July and September, BYD&#8217;s operating revenue rose 24% to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41647639/teslas-chinese-rival-byd-outshines-elon-musks-ev-giant-in-quarterly-revenue-for-first-time-since-202" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">201.12 billion yuan ($28.25 billion)</a>, the company said in a filing late last month.

Algorhythm's Subsidiary, Singing Machine Has Entered Into A Strategic Partnership Deal With BYD And Stingray, Starting In Early 2025, This Feature Will Be Available In An Expanding Range Of BYD Vehicles Worldwide

BYD Co., Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) giant, is reportedly set to expand its footprint in South Korea&#8217;s passenger car market next year, following its successful <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41706373/tesla-rival-byd-hired-over-200k-employees-in-3-months-to-speed-up-ev-production" rel="noreferrer noopener">entry into the local commercial vehicle sector years ago.</a>
The company&#8217;s South Korean subsidiary, BYD Korea, has completed its preparations to launch passenger car models in the domestic market, with an expected rollout scheduled for early 2025, <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/11/13/byd-south-korean-passenger-car-market-2025/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> CnEV Post.
Per a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.teslarati.com/byd-south-korea-auto-market/" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> by Teslarati, BYD joined the South Korean market in 2016 with commercial vehicles like buses, forklifts, and trucks. The BYD Seal model is reportedly set to rival the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai IONIQ 6 in South Korea, two dominant players in the market.
This move comes as BYD continues to make waves in the global automotive industry.
Despite not manufacturing traditional combustion engine vehicles, the company has been rapidly closing in on Ford Motor&#8217;s global sales, with its EV-focused model gaining significant market share.

As of October 2024, BYD has sold over 3.25 million vehicles, marking a 36% year-on-year increase. In October alone, the company surpassed half a million units sold, showing impressive growth from the same period in 2023.
If this growth trajectory continues through the end of the year, BYD&#8217;s 2024 sales could exceed 4 million vehicles, positioning the company to potentially surpass Ford, which sold 4.4 million vehicles globally in 2023.
Turning to its South Korean expansion, BYD Korea is actively building a regional network for passenger vehicle sales and services, CnEV Post added.
The company is currently focused on recruiting staff, obtaining necessary vehicle certifications, and finalizing marketing and employee training plans. BYD&#8217;s entry into the South Korean consumer EV market is expected to increase competition in the country&#8217;s growing low-cost EV segment, where domestic players Hyundai Motor and Kia have already started rolling out more affordable electric models.

欧州連合（EU）やアメリカの関税引き上げに対する対応として、中国の電気自動車（EV）メーカーが潜在的な市場としてアフリカを探っている。
出来事：EUと米国が中国EVに対して関税を引き上げる決定を受け、中国企業は代替市場を求めている。月曜日、南シナ・モーニング・ポストが<a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3269234/chinese-ev-makers-bypass-eu-and-us-tariff-roadblock-turning-towards-africa?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">報じた</a>ところによると、中国の電気自動車メーカー<a class="link rapid-noclick-resp" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/NN0002:HK">Neta Auto</a>の副社長、周江氏は、その関税を「保護主義的な政策」と緩く例え、「一時的な後退」とした。
周氏は、中国のEVブランドの海外展開においてケニアにあるNeta Autoの最初のアフリカ店の重要性を強調した。周氏によれば、アフリカ、東南アジア、南米、一部の欧州市場が中国のEVブランドの関心を集めているとのことだ。
6月12日、欧州委員会は、7月4日より中国製EV輸入品に最大38％の追加関税を発表し、この一環として米国は中国製EV輸入品に対する関税を25％から100％にまで4倍に引き上げることを決定した。EUと米国の両国政府は、中国が自国の自動車メーカーに補助金を提供して市場を歪め、低コストのEV車が流入する原因となったとして中国を非難している。中国政府はこれらの主張を「根拠のない誇張」と一蹴した。

ナイロビにおいて、Neta AutoはNeta Vスターモデル車を発売し、満充電時に約380kmの走行が可能な価格は3万1,000ドル前後。同社はケニアに拠点を置くAssociated Vehicle Assemblers社と月に250台のEV車を組み立てるための覚書も締結し、アフリカ全域へのNeta EV輸出のハブとしての地位を確立した。
今後2年間でNeta Autoは20か国に進出し、アフリカで100の店舗を開く予定であり、3年以内に年間販売台数は2万台以上になることを目指している。
今回の出来事の重要性：中国EV車に対するEUの追加関税は、この動きにとって大きな要因となっている。中国の国家補助金を受けることで低コストでEV車を生産できる中国製EV車が、市場内の国内勢を押しやるという懸念から、これらの関税が導入された。
関税の引き上げにも関わらず、中国のEVメーカーは引き続きグローバルでの拡張を進めている。BYD Co., Ltd.（OTC:BYDDF）などの企業は貿易摩擦にもかかわらず、現地の工場への投資を続けている。また、BYDは<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">タイに初工場を開設する</a>計画も立てており、それにより乗用車の販売を増やす方針。 中国のEV車メーカーは<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39612852/warren-buffett-backed-chinese-ev-giant-byd-to-open-first-southeast-asia-factory-to-increase-car-sale">タイに初の工場を設置</a>する計画も立てており、それにより乗用車の販売を増やす方針。
中国のEVメーカーは好調を維持しており、NIO Inc.（NYSE:NIO）は2024年6月に2万1209台の車両を納入し、年初比で98.1％の成長を遂げた。同じ月には、XPeng（NYSE:XPEV）も1万688台の車両を納入し、年初比で24％の成長を遂げた。Li Auto（NASDAQ:LI）は、12月に記録した5万353台のEV車にわずかに届かなかったが、6月には4万7774台の車両を納入した。 これにより、中国のEVメーカーは課題にもかかわらず、世界的な影響力を持つ企業の拡大を実現している。
株価の変動： <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>によると、月曜日のプレマーケット取引では、Nioは株価が1.52％低下し、4.560ドルで取引されている。前週金曜日の終値は4.620ドル。Li Autoは、前日比1.66％安い20.46ドルで取引されており、XPengは前週末の終値7.920ドルから3.91％安い7.610ドルで取引されている。一方、BYDの終値は60.10ドルとなっている。

出来事： 2024年第1四半期、中国の自動車ブランドは海外で前年度同期比40％の売り上げが伸び、輸出総数が47万台に達した。中国自動車乗用車協会（CPCA）のデータを引用したCnEVPostより確認できる。
リードするのは中国の自動車メーカーのトップは、SAIC, Chery, グレートウォールモーター, ビュイック（OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>）（OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>）などがいる。
彼らのうち最も多くを輸出しているのは中の中で最大手のSAICで、12万6000台以上の車両を海外に輸出している。続くChery、Great Wall Motor、BYDはそれに続いており、合計すると中国ブランドの総輸出の半分を超えるものとなっている。
欧州とアジアが注目 この成功物語は電気自動車（NEV）市場にも広がっている。欧州とアジアでの中国のNEVの需要は依然として過去最高を記録し、それを証明するのが2024年第1四半期に輸出された111億ドル相当のNEVが挙げられる。欧州とアジアが主要な目的地となっており、中国製の車両はこれらの地域で新たな市場を見いだしている。

イノベーションが販売を駆動？ 中国の一部の電気自動車メーカーは、国内市場での業績の鈍化に直面しているが、車内ベッドやキッチンなど<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37578779/tesla-rivals-in-china-are-tempting-buyers-with-in-car-beds-kitchens-and-drones-amid-ev-industry-slow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">独創的な機能を導入する</a>という新しい手法を考え始めている。

中国の電気自動車メーカーは、アメリカなどの主要市場での貿易障壁に対応するため、この他にも独自の方法<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/02/37062412/how-chinese-ev-traders-are-beating-global-barriers-with-a-stealthy-tactic-to-conquer-new-markets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">を使っているとも言われている。</a> これは中国の中古車の輸出について、メーカーの認可なしに輸出することができる政策を利用しているものだ。このループホールによって、事実上「中古車」となるよう、新車の登録を中国で行い、その後すぐに海外に輸出することが可能となり、輸出制限を回避することに成功している。
