New York CNN —The most important carmaker in the world right now is the Chinese-owned, Warren Buffett-backed company that has Elon Musk in a pickle.
That’s 1,300 miles in one go — hundreds of miles beyond the standard ranges for other hybrids on the market.

China is the world’s biggest auto market, and BYD is its top seller, surpassing Volkswagen last year.
In that exchange, Musk responds to an honest question about BYD rivaling Tesla with a smug laugh.
