BYD’s Giant Car-Boats Own Musk’s Shipping Nightmare
While Elon Musk grumbled about 'not enough boats, not enough trains, not enough car carriers' to deliver Tesla EVs, BYD decided to just build their own giant car-carrying fleet. With ships like the 9,000-vehicle Shenzhen, BYD is sailing rings around Tesla, flooding Europe and Brazil with electric cars. From Shenzhen to Portocel, BYD’s 'shuttle service' strategy bypasses traditional carriers, flexing supply chain muscle born in China’s brutal EV battle. As BYD sells more cars abroad, Musk probably wishes he had a BYD boat instead of just tweets.

When your car company builds giant car-boats because the world forgot how to ship cars, you know ‘supply chain’ is just a polite way of saying ‘we’re terrible drivers of our own lives.’
Tesla: ‘We need more ships!’ BYD: ‘Hold my giant red-painted boat.’
If Elon wants EV dominance, maybe he should design a Tesla boat. Or just ride BYD’s massive car-floating party liner instead.
