GM, Ram and Ford better worry, if this truck makes it to NA.

I can't put my finger on why but my first impression is "looks like someone mates an F150 and a Silverado" in the photos, and the sketches look like an old Ridgeline mates with an Avalanche.

Unless the Chinese goverment makes any changes regarding EVs, pickup trucks can only be used as commercial
vehicles and their usage is restricted in major cities. So curently this possible BYD truck would only be sold abroad.

The Tesla Cybertruck becomes instant celebrity in China

Overall, the Tesla Cybertruck tour in China seems to be very successful, and the all-electric pickup truck has become an instant celebrity.

​

China is not a country of pickup trucks. China is the world’s largest automotive market, ​

and in 2023, sales accelerated to a record 30.09 million units, approximately 512,000 of which were pickup trucks. ​

This means that in 2023, pickup trucks accounted for just about 1.7% of the Chinese auto market. ​

​

Part of this is due to the fact that pickup trucks are classified as light trucks in China, so they face restrictions​

compared to passenger cars like the Model Y. Pickup trucks are required to drive on the rightmost “slow” lane on highways, ​

and they are only allowed to travel up to 100 kph (62 mph). They are subjected to mandated scrapping after 15 years as well, ​

and some Chinese cities impose limitations on pickups entering urban areas. ​

Yeah, that truck looks like it is made for the US market. Hmmm.

If Ford can sell the Raptor in China it's possible that Tesla will be able to sell the Cybertruck there also.
