Just for a quick comparison here for LATAM markets: the cheapest Tesla I could buy right now is a 2019, 21k miles Model 3 priced at around 74,327 USD from some random dude. Meanwhile, I can buy a brand new BYD Seal, with similar specs, at 61,296 USD directly from a dealership.
BYD has a lot of dealership and is opening two factories in the country. So repairs might not be as expensive in the future.
I would much rather have a Tesla, but it does not make much sense financially.
