- On August 28th, a video surfaced online showing hundreds of brand-new electric vehicles abandoned on the outskirts of Chengdu, Sichuan Province. The cars, which had been left untouched for five years, still had their protective films intact, while weeds grew tall around them.

The purpose of this joint venture might have been to steal all the Daimler Tech that BYD could steal. So these cars may have already served their purpose - and sale of cars was not important ...
Scamming the government was probably the bigger purpose. The subsidy was only available once proof-of-sale was provided to the government. I've read of some car makers setting up a subsidiary that bought all the cars so the parent could get the subsidy. They then removed all the mechanicals and the parent factory put them in a new car-body and sold it to their subsidiary again. Different VIN each time but mostly recycled mechanicals. Round and round until the music stopped.
exactly ! they try to cooperate with big corporations to get key technology because the government allows them to do so
👏👏👏
Yep it was to steal subsidies and also technology from the West. Buisness people in the west have become traitors allowing our technology to get stolen for short term profits while the ceos get huge golden parachutes all our industries then leave or go bankrupt and many of our towns and villages lose all the work they could have and then all the money goes to immigrants instead of our own people.
Los chinos en serio hacen eso??😂🎉
That's a centrally planned economy on display right there - utterly inefficient. It's a pity they didn't centrally plan a recycling program.
Communism is the only way for equality and prosperity
For CCP members
Exactly correct. All those cars were produced cuz the ccp and Xi said “go make electric cars! We’ll tell you when to stop.”
Same with all the high rise luxury apartments that were built, with no buyers and no tenants; ccp says “build it and they will come”, sucking down resources and labor and trillions of yuan.
The auto and real estate industries in China looked like they were booming, cuz of all the people employed, construction taking place, millions of cars produced etc.
But then they have more apartments in China than people, millions of cars that no one can or wants to buy, so inventory just piles up like trash.
Their economy is in a death spiral, no demand for the high end stuff being built, no money for the people cuz companies are laying off everyone, insufficient food for the population and crumbling shoddy infrastructure cuz everyone is corrupt and no one cares about quality.
I don’t think Taiwan has too much to worry about right now….
Byd sold millions of evs, and you are reacting to 872. You miss the forest for the trees.
I'm just surprised it hasn't been stripped for parts and sold. There must be re-sellable items like batteries and copper and stuff.
@@kamsunleong6648 If only that was the only EV graveyard in China. Cars, share bikes, E bikes are ALL piled high with nothing to do but rot. Produced solely to gain a subsidy - not to be sold. Totally inefficient use of resources. No doubt they will be dumped in a developing country to kill any local industry.
When you're in a hole, stop digging! When you're in a Chinese EV, that's been sitting for five years, get out!
You just supply supply supply without true demand and this is what happens. Nobody can afford or want them. It's happening in many sectors of Chinese economy.
Too bad, people behind oversupply of these crappy EV's don't have the slightest clue about how the economy works. Even if they gave those for free, nobody would want them.
Why you should care if you get more money from government than it costs to manufacture your product? Just produce and dump, like these companies do.
@@piotrmajewski5978 yes, but isnt china supposed to be "socialist" country :D doesnt sound very socialist to build cars while some people cant get food
@@MildlyInterested_ There also shouldn't be unemployment in socialism and in so called "democracies" you should be able to vote for non-socialists...everything works as intended.
No way those cars are sitting for 5 years. Too clean
Why wouldn't it be clean no one has been in them.

So a company bought these for use as taxi/commercial use … they went bankrupt…and now they’re bought at auction!! Wow companies never before anywhere else in world go bankrupt and their assets auctioned off.
Yeah but now they are being marketed by a wholesaler named Jah Shing doo-doo men-men. It is a name you can trust.
We Taiwanese still drive tesla
The batterys are toast after sitting there for 5 years !! 😄 I dont recommend charging them...
Those cars can now be someone's shelter.
Images of those new cars catch on fire during a showroom reveal 😂
china make sure they don't put in the battery when showing off
@@bluedrakken lets just hope they do for the population in these areas, altho we have seen that the CCP doesnt really give a crap about most parts of the country that are not densly populated cities. We will for sure not hear about it if they have batteries since this stuff will be taken out of the internet in no time :D
Denza was born on the shoulders of Giants…and fell forty feet to the ground. Poor baby.
no chance those cars have been there 5 years, i left my car for 6 months and is had green all over the windows and all the panels, those look clean and even the windows are spotless, fake as hell

BYD is grabage.
"BYD is leading the world in electric cars, Tesla wishes for BYDs success" 😂
Still a big garbage….
Not trying to take sides but a lot of TfL Electric Buses in London, UK are BYD - and they’re very reliable and well built. Ditto with some London Black Taxi’s I believe. Basically, some Chinese EV’s are built to high quality and some are not. BYD seems to have proven itself in the UK at least. Food for thought.
It's refreshing to see some accurate news coverage of the mainland, and humorous to see commenters from the mainland. Commenters, you are not permitted to use RUclips from China. Chinese citizens accessing RUclips can result in jail time. You are working for the Chinese government, then?
Of course
I only see pro-CCP Wumaos in the comments, so probably.
Using RUclips in China is not illegal.
@@C00ltronix RUclips is definitely blocked you have to VPN through the great firewall of china to access it and i think that act is illegal .... and when i visited in 2015 my google pixel 2 phone wouldn't even turn on because it was blocked from contacting google play services ...
@@C00ltronixthe only people who have access to youtube in China are those with state sponsored VPN's, those who have private VPN's are violating Chinese laws.
People says they do not want to risk their family & lives.
Dang China, what the heck? Your brand of capitalism is wasteful. Your people deserve better.
Oh Pooh!
Pooh-stradamus spoke of this since ancient times. He said "Qing Dynasty try to own everything, everyone, everywhere, but doesn't have a chance." He long gone now, just like pooh is...
This is the genius of communism.
Hmm all the batteries just laying around ? Hope they do not catch fire .
If you need spare parts…you know where to go.
They are unfortunately not all compatible with another specific model, and they are not very qualitative... BYD cuts costs, not as the best Xpeng Motors does, by improving production methods and defining a very very correct price, with benefits for all! They do lot lot lot of verifications, even by helping users in their daily use... No private information robbery, just accurate treatment of any activity of their 600000 vehicles used daily...
@Oldfogey2014, There are so many new models coming out yearly are spare parts even available for this type of car?
What do you bet that unsold evs are being BURIED in the ground to hide the losses. Please note that it is NO COINCIDENCE that the 2 isms are financially collapsing at the same time.
Industrial waste .... absolutely. Me and some unknown Chinese guy agree ??
I'm not in favor of Communism, but isn't this "doing it wrong"..? There are a lot of Chinese people who can't afford cars, there are cars just sitting there, why wouldn't they give these cars away to people in rural areas along with a charging station for the village? We have more "Communism" in the United States, as far as things the government hands out to the people.
Are you new to the world bro
Im guessing its unlikely that those batteries are as documented. - if they had zero intention to sell- then they wouldn't spend excess on expensive battery capacity.
I wouldn’t buy one for any price
I would not take one if they pay me.
GIVE THE CARS TO THE VICTIMS OF THE ONES DESTROYED BY THE CCP'S MADE FLOODS?
They’ve suffered enough, no need to punish them further with Chinese electric vehicles
Ha Ha, Is an EV really a car? :D
Not until it can charge it's own battery. lol
Its not only cars!
Its buildings,houses,commercial centres!
Its CAPITALISM!
5 years ago, Mercedes did not produce EV cars. Perhaps these cars are hybrids. Hope that all liquids were removed.
These abandoned EVs will do more damage to the environment than oil drilling ever has.
Why? Lithium batteries don't leak.
Facts!
EVs do damage while being dug up, being refined, being built, you have to replace the whole battery every 2-5 yrs($100,00each) and EVs always drop half in value by the 2-3 yrs so it's cheaper to buy a new one which only damages the environment, in America we don't even have enough electricity to power our stuff so adding more EVs just makes America have to burn Tons of more coal to power those "Zero Pollution Vehicles" and don't even get me started on how much POWER it takes to just run 5 of those charging stands.
@@ladislavzima8382 because it's a waste of ressources, like the other graveyards or the e-bikes
@@kiaayo33 Those are old myths. Our 10 years old Leaf has original battery with 74% health. For most EVs, the battery will survive the car. And people like you tell us EVs are too cheap, yet where I can buy those used cars? EVs often held price better than some ICEVs. And if the battery fails, a new one from Tesla costs one tenth of what you say. Update your knowledge, this is a fast developing industry.
@@ladislavzima8382catch fire 🔥 shows you know nothing go back to your CCP education camp for more training 🇨🇳
Sucks seeing sht like this. As someone who can’t afford a car and walks/bikes to work, it really pisses me off.
Bolstering the sale numbers to make it look like they were selling more than they actually were.
I happen to know this news. The name of this batch of cars is DENZA 450. BYD and Mercedes jointly own 50%. It was launched in 2018, but the sales volume was not good. There is a company in Chengdu that purchased 872 online hailing cars, but it was idle for 5 years due to various formalities, debts and other factors. Recently, it was finally auctioned by the judicial auction. The total auction price was 6 million US dollars. When this car was listed, it was not cost-effective and the sales volume was not good. After that, BYD acquired the shares in Mercedes and operated independently. Sales began to grow. At present, DENZA D9 has become the first in MPV
For reservation at FWD $85,503.03
That can't be good for the environment.
The MPV were a direct copy of Toyota Alphard
THE WORLD DOES NOT WANT THESE SHIT CARS IMPOSE 5000% TARIFFS ON THEM
😮😮Wow, crazy people.....
even the chinese don't want byd garbage lol
I wonder if anyone can just get a car
and drive out!?
Sure just need to hack the software first then work out how to get it home past a billion cameras.
Looks like a business deal got sour. Nothing really related to byd one ev/hev.
This is CHINESE CAPITALISM. If this was 'socialism' these cars would belong to people, not to grass.
As far as I can see there’s 800 bedrooms for the homeless 😅
INSTEAD OF ABANDONING CARS PUT THEM ON SALE IN OTHER MARKETS
Rise up People of China
who tf planted car seeds in there?
Nature always wins
48,000 Yuan is about $6,700
Future my arse😊😊😊
Bought for massive money then stacked on trucks like junk? Makes no sense.
Excessive fuel?
Some of these cars bear a remarkable exterior similarity to some recent Jaguar salooms.
This is a fake video the cars are too clean for standing 5years
Why haven't these cars been stripped? Seems like a decent amount of money could be had just stripping materials and components.
Sell it CHEAP!.....rather than nothing.
For future generations all humans should plant trees and save water soil ☘️🌱🌵🍀🪴🌏Save Earth 🌍
Damn what a waste of time They always go overboard
CCP 🇨🇳
My Chevy has just hit 480,000 miles -772,000km on all original drivetrain so suck it. Oh and is still worth 2200$
yep.....look at the planet saving green cars, protecting us from destroying nature.
That actually happens a lot now that solar powered cars are being produced.
The are the cleanest cars i every seen after 5 years outside 😂😂😂😂
Socialism at its best.
I know from my childhood that China was good at making fireworks ;))))
No. Fireworks are fake, unless they have the words 8000 Watts, BTC, 95+Gold, ATX in it.
$50K EACH is way too much for a made in China car!. More like $15k is more reasonable. These are untested designs and will have parts problem due to its make. Pity they are just e-waste!.
Somewhere, out of sight, Pooh Bear takes another pie in the face. He's approaching Soupy Sales terrritory.
BYD-Mercedes?
Mercedes has no cooperation with BYD and they do not produce any models together.
What country is this... Question do you want do investment in this country... Never so volatile politics... So dangerous market... Need pull out all investment 😔 never returned...
Definitely won't have "400km" range after 5 years...
I bought 150 cars recently. Brilliant cars from BYD
Consider the waste of all of this material. Why bother to produce waste?
EV batteries are 33 to 60% of a new car price, without batteries they are worthless
without warranty means defective 99% of the time
For a brand new car, with zero miles, to lose 85% of its value in 5 years is completely unsustainable!
The Chinese EV market is a race to the very depths of destitution...
And people want to vote for Kamala Harris.😂😂😂
One has nothing to do with the other genius.
@@demongo2007 If you don’t get it, don’t comment on my post. Go to sleep or do your homework or housework.
No problem, there are more in the USA. and 30 trillion dolar debt
That is how China maintains its GDP growth. It is based goods produced, not necessarily sold.😁
Question is why you haven't got thoses headlights out? Lol😂😂😂😂😂
Anything Chinese is a flop😅
LOL , if the cars from the field do not sell locally , just export them :-)
Joke’s on BYD. Daimler isn’t somebody you “copy”.
Could the Chinese BE any more wasteful? They’re about as green as Hell itself! 🤨

' A US Navy warship commander was relieved of duty over a 'loss of confidence' 4 months after he was photographed firing a rifle with a backward scope '
This is insane. What a waste!
What about all those lithium batteries? So much waste digging them out of the ground. The Chinese government is disgraceful.
And this helps the planet how
Honestly surprised they've not been scalped.
MB burned their fingers .
Now lay offs at the plant in South Africa :-(
R the msrp price still on there??
😂😂😂
🇺🇸🇺🇸
Interesting , Thank You.
Who knows about the software of this car type after 5 years ?
I suppose there was a kind nudge from the top, to form a joint venture.
The price of excess, at least sell them cheap and recoup some funds
Chinese cars are made of cardboard.
Over engineered , over supplied .
the content is good, but the woman voice over hear so bad, make me wanna stop wahtcing
I'm surprised they haven't caught fire 🤣🤣🤣
Bless our environment. Thank you CCP for taking "goooooood" care of our earth :)
Thats super good for the environment
Too much production chasing after few buyers.
You have to love the Chinese. Cheat, lie, steal…..
Its all about pre registering to massage the numbers for china
