In the early morning of January 23, executives of BYD's brand Dengshi were suspected of shouting at Tesla CEO Musk from a distance.。

Zhao Changjiang, the general manager of the sales department of Dengshi, said in a post, "Go back to the network reply from the other side half a month ago! It seems that we are not or weak when we say we are an automobile software company! I tell you that we are already strong now!"

Zhao Changjiang said "half a month ago on the other side of the network reply," should refer to Tesla in the beginning of this month about BYD anti-Tesla to become a pure electric sales crown.。

BYD's Pure Electric Vehicle Sales Reached Record 526,409 in Q4 2023, Up 60% YoY。During the same period, Tesla delivered 484,507 electric vehicles, an increase of nearly 20%。Judging from this latest quarterly data, BYD has successfully overtaken Tesla to become the world's largest pure electric car manufacturer。

Subsequently, Musk replied to a post on X comparing Tesla and BYD。"A lot of people think of Tesla as a car company, but it's actually an AI / robotics company.。"

After Musk's remarks came out, BYD did not respond.。And after half a month of silence, Zhao Changjiang chose to stand up and refute Musk。He said that Tesla will encounter serious challenges with intelligent assisted driving systems and models in 2024. For example, the Tengshi N7 will change the market pattern and defeat the Y model.。The y model that Zhao Changjiang refers to should be Tesla's Model Y。

Model Y is a medium-sized SUV launched by Tesla. In the Chinese market, the rear-wheel drive version of Model Y is currently officially quoted at 258,900 yuan, and the long-endurance version is currently quoted at 299,900 yuan.。The Tengshi N7 is also an SUV and is currently available in multiple versions with official guide prices ranging from $300,000 to $380,000.。

Last week, Tengshi N7 just announced a new upgrade, in intelligent driving, intelligent chassis and intelligent cabin and other aspects have been upgraded。Added high-speed NOA (high-speed navigation assisted driving) function, remote parking (RPA) function, automatic parking (APA) function experience has also been optimized。The official slogan is "Tengshi N7 Smart Driving Leading Two Generations"。

Although Tengshi is full of confidence in its own products, it is not easy for Tengshi N7 to "beat" Model Y.。According to Tesla's official news, the Model Y model was delivered in China last year with a cumulative total of 64.60,000 vehicles, becoming the sales crown。In the global market, the Model Y also overtook the Toyota Corolla as the best-selling model of 2023, the first time that the annual sales of pure electric vehicles exceeded that of fuel vehicles.。In contrast, DENZI only achieved 127,840 sales in 2023, and DENZI's main sales model is still the high-end medium and large MPV DENZI D9.。

As a brand of cooperation between BYD and Mercedes-Benz's parent company, Dengshi was established in 2010 and is not considered "young" among the new forces of car manufacturing.。Deeply cultivated Chinese automobile automobile for many years, but Dengshi has been in a state of obscurity for many years, and the brand began to be known in the past two years.。Especially in 2023, the launch of DENZI D9 began to make the brand's sales over the "10,000 mark."。

The inside of Dengshi is now eager to copy the success of Dengshi D9 to Dengshi N7, but whether it can be successful or not, whether Zhao Changjiang is bragging, everything remains to be tested by time.。
