CT scans of BYD car parts | Hacker News

A CT-scan teardown of BYD components sparked debate over how the company designs and builds EV parts.

The discussion focused on BYD’s vertically integrated supply chain, integrated E-axle, and low-cost key-fob design.

Analysts also compared BYD’s approach with Tesla and legacy automakers like Ford and Detroit manufacturers.

The teardown underscored how BYD’s battery and drivetrain choices, including LFP and Blade batteries, may support its scale and cost advantage.
