BYD Sold 4.6M Cars Last Year. Nobody Actually Bought Them.

BYD reported its best year ever. Then 100,000 people lost their jobs. Here's the number nobody wanted to explain. BYD hit its 2025 sales target: 5.5 million vehicles, a 30% jump from the year before. Dealerships across China were sitting on three months of unsold inventory, some quietly staring at bankruptcy. What happened next created thousands of brand-new BYD cars sitting untouched in open fields - factory plastic still on the seats, batteries quietly degrading in the rain, warranties already ticking down before a single buyer touched the wheel. A number stayed protected. Reality stopped cooperating. And the gap between these two costs 100,000 people their jobs.
