A $4,999 EV That’s Outselling Tesla?!

What if we told you there’s an electric car that costs less than your iPhone… and it’s dominating the EV market?
Meet the BYD Seagull Honor Edition—a $4,999 city cruiser that’s stylish, fully electric, and moving units faster than a Black Friday flat-screen. Designed by a former Lamborghini designer (yes, really) and packed with tech, this budget EV is giving Tesla a serious run for its money.
With over 280,000 units sold last year, BYD isn’t just making noise—they’re making history. And thanks to insane vertical integration, they’re pulling it off at a price tag that feels like a typo.
Why should you care? Because this pint-sized powerhouse could flip the global car market—and legacy automakers—on its head.
