Is BYD's decision to focus on practicality over style in the e6 a smart long term strategy or a marketing misstep?

I believe BYD is still playing the long game here. As EVs become more standard, it won’t be about novelty anymore — it’ll be about practicality. That shift is positioned perfectly for the e6.

It's a total misfire. For many buyers, EVs are still a status symbol, and the e6 just doesn't cut it. A huge market of people who want their car to make a statement are missing out.

I know what BYD is doing from owning both flashy and practical cars. The market is real for no nonsense EV's that just get the job done without all the bells and whistles.

I think it's smart. Take Toyota for example, they’ve made a business out of building reliable, practical cars. Is BYD positioning themselves as the Toyota of EVs?

But it's an extremely risky strategy. With more people taking to EVs, the market will become mature, and practicality will matter more. It’s just what BYD is ahead of the curve.

They are definitely leaving money on the table. People want to feel good about their big purchases and the e6 just doesn't deliver that emotional punch that sells cars.

I actually respect BYD for not just doing what everyone else is doing. Meanwhile, the e6 is filling a niche that other EV makers have failed to address—making EVs sexy.
Is the BYD e6 a glorified taxi or a legitimate family car?
02 January 2025 06:35
I’ve driven the e6 and other EVs and it’s definitely more than just a taxi. It's insane inside, and the ride quality is actually really good. Sure, it’s not as fancy as other EVs, but for a family that needs a reliable workhorse, it’s fairly solid.
Is the BYD e6 a glorified taxi or a legitimate family car?
02 January 2025 06:35
No way, man. It's all taxi through and through. Have you seen the interior? It feels like being transported to 2010. Families should get better features and comfort for their money.

I don’t think it’s a glorified taxi. The durability e6 was designed for, is actually a huge plus for families. How many "family cars" can take the daily abuse this thing can?
Is the BYD e6 a glorified taxi or a legitimate family car?
02 January 2025 06:35
It's kind of both, honestly. It's built like a tank because of taxi heritage, which is great for reliability. That's also why it's pretty basic inside. That’s perfect for some families. For others it may feel too utilitarian.

02 January 2025 06:35
As a family guy with one, I can tell you it’s legit. It’s unbeatable space, and the low maintenance of an EV is a godsend. Is it as flashy as a Tesla? Nah. It does the job without fuss, but it does it.
Can the BYD e6's massive battery compensate for its brick like aerodynamics?
02 January 2025 06:35
I honestly think that BYD made the right move. The e6 isn’t winning any beauty contests, but that big battery means you don’t have to worry about range all the time. It is a solution to the real world.
Can the BYD e6's massive battery compensate for its brick like aerodynamics?
02 January 2025 06:35
This is no way, it's just lazy engineering. Instead of slapping a huge battery in it they should have focused on making it aerodynamic. You might as well put a jet engine on a brick and call it efficient.
Can the BYD e6's massive battery compensate for its brick like aerodynamics?
02 January 2025 06:35
I can say from experience of the long trips I’ve done in an e6 the big battery is a life saver. Yes, it’s not the most energy efficient, but the peace of mind is worth it.
Can the BYD e6's massive battery compensate for its brick like aerodynamics?
02 January 2025 06:35
Here I think we're missing the point. The e6 was conceived as a taxi where stop and go city driving is more important than highway efficiency. That’s why the big battery makes sense in that context.
Can the BYD e6's massive battery compensate for its brick like aerodynamics?
02 January 2025 06:35
It's a trade-off, for sure. Just remember: Aerodynamics only matter at high speeds. The brick shape is less of an issue for city driving, which is what most people do. And that shape offers you a ton of interior space, too.
Can the BYD e6's massive battery compensate for its brick like aerodynamics?
02 January 2025 06:35
The e6 isn’t trying to be a Tesla, let’s be real. As a workhorse EV, the big battery is more important than slippery aero. It’s about reliability and predictability, not winning efficiency awards.
Can the BYD e6's massive battery compensate for its brick like aerodynamics?
02 January 2025 06:35
In fact, I like that BYD preferred to focus on battery size rather than aerodynamics. They are showing that they are thinking about real world use and not just chasing numbers on a spec sheet.
Are the BYD e6’s lack of features a dealbreaker or an advantage in disguise?
02 January 2025 06:35
In fact, I love that the e6 is a simple car, as I’ve owned overly complicated cars before. The fewer things you have to break, the fewer headaches you have down the road.
