What makes cars from companies like Dacia or BYD appealing compared to Tesla, especially in Europe?

Dacias are cheap and made in Romania. For my USian followers, think Yugo.

BYD are Chinese EVs. What makes them attractive is that they are fully featured cars at very attractive prices. Currently their base line model costs 300 000 SEK and is expected to hit 250 000 SEK by autumn. A Tesla Model Y costs 556 000 SEK in baseline configuration.

To a customer used to Skodas, Renaults and VWs, they look very attractive.

Can you fly an American flag in the UK in your own private property there? What is the UK’s government stance on that? And if yes, do you also have to fly the UK flag or the American flag can fly solo?
