The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Amazing that Charlie saw the potential in BYD in 2008 and really went to bat for our investment. Wow, have they ever delivered, on many levels! Hybrids with 1300 mile range-amazing!

I dug ever so shallowly into this and learned that the BYD Hybrid reportedly gets 81 mpg, and so has a 16 gallon gas tank giving it 1300 mile range.

And it is pretty inexpensive.

Sandy Munro, a non-Tesla automotive guy who likes Tesla and its tech pretty well rates BYD as likely to be the biggest automaker in the world in 10 years, and rather explicitly thought it would beat out Tesla on that time scale.
