The difference is what China/BYD lacks in features, quality, safety, reliability, innovation, etc they make up for with IP theft and sheer production velocity.

I don't know how my Leaf compares to the Merc, would be interesting to see

Do you have an example of this alleged IP theft?
Because the things they are famous for are their own developments,like the blade batteries and the insanely fast charging.
The rest of an EV is not really different from normal cars, or are you claiming the rest of the world has some IP right to make cars?
