What it likely means:

• Speculations suggest that BYD will likely be benchmarking the Cybertruck in its China facility. Benchmarking is a pretty common practice in the automotive industry.
• Speculations also suggest that BYD may conduct a teardown of the Cybertruck to get a close look at the vehicle’s inner workings.

Since CTs aren't available yet in China, BYD must have imported it from the US.

Yeah, it looks like a non-steel shrunk down 'cheep' will be coming in not too long...

Yes, broadly speaking, they would need their version of SS, the 48-volt system, 220v Power supply, four-wheel steering, and castings—things that they won't have in the 'immediate' future.


Essentially, they will strip down a racehorse, and build their donkey.
