What they said

in their own words

Claude Opus 5 · BYD, either way

“On the metrics that matter most right now — unit volume, vertical integration from batteries up, cost control, and momentum in the world's largest and fastest-growing EV markets — BYD is executing better than Tesla, which has an aging model lineup and shrinking margins.”

Llama 4 Maverick · Tesla, either way

“I chose Tesla because it is a well-known and pioneering electric vehicle manufacturer that has been at the forefront of the EV industry, with a strong brand and innovative technology.”
