BYD Global Open Letter - Açık Mektup - Questions for Re-launch

Dear BYD Global Team, #reklam marka geçtiği içindir. . @BYDGlobal

In this video, we aim to represent the voice of Turkish consumers and shed light on BYD's pricing strategy and the role of its distributor in Turkey. As Turkish consumers, we have high expectations from BYD as a global leader in electric vehicles. However, the recent launch in Turkey has left many questions unanswered, and we're here to explore these on behalf of the local market.

2- Turkish NEW sales market %14 of EV. Total market %1 of E.V.s

BYD’s Entry into the Turkish Market and Pricing Strategy
BYD recently introduced four new models to Turkey: Dolphin, Atto 3, Seal U EV, and Seal U DM-i. While the models have exciting features, their pricing has raised eyebrows. For instance, the BYD Dolphin was launched at a starting price of approximately 1.28 million TL (around $37,000). Such pricing has sparked a wave of concern and dissatisfaction among potential buyers in Turkey.

Price Comparison: Turkey vs. Europe and China
To better understand the pricing disparity, we compared the Turkish prices of BYD models with those in Europe and China:

BYD Dolphin: While it starts at €29,990 in Europe and even lower in China, the Turkish price is significantly higher.
This raises a critical question: Why are Turkish consumers paying a premium, despite the country's potential market size and BYD's access to EV incentives?

EV Incentives and Tax Breaks: What’s the Truth?
There is considerable confusion surrounding BYD's eligibility for Turkish EV incentives. While local news indicates that BYD plans to establish a production facility in Turkey with an annual capacity of 150,000 vehicles, the lack of clarity around official incentive approvals has led to speculation.

If BYD has received these incentives, why are prices still so high? If not, why was the launch scheduled before securing such vital support? This miscommunication has eroded trust and sparked frustration.

Distributor's Role and Infrastructure Concerns
BYD's Turkish distributor markets the brand as "premium." However, the reality seems inconsistent with this positioning:

Limited or nonexistent service networks.
Absence of features such as built-in internet connectivity in vehicles.
A lack of transparency regarding model specifications tailored for Turkey compared to China.
Is this a case of poor execution by the distributor, or has BYD Global underestimated the Turkish market's expectations?

Consumer Feedback Matters
We, as Turkish consumers, are passionate about sustainable transportation and innovation. BYD’s entry into Turkey represents a significant step forward for EV adoption in the region. However, to build a lasting relationship with Turkish consumers, BYD needs to address the following:

Be transparent about pricing and model differences across markets.
Clarify the status of EV incentives and how they impact pricing.
Ensure that the distributor upholds the quality and reliability that BYD represents globally.
Closing Remarks
BYD is a symbol of innovation, and Turkish consumers want to embrace this vision. However, the current strategy risks alienating a key market. We urge BYD Global to take a closer look at the Turkish market dynamics and address these concerns to align expectations with reality.

This video represents the voice of Turkish consumers who still believe in BYD’s potential. Let’s ensure that your mission of “Building Your Dreams” resonates in Turkey as it does globally.

We look forward to BYD’s response. Thank you for taking the time to listen to the concerns of Turkish consumers.

Sincerely,
The Voice of Turkish Consumers

If this pricing continues, my slogan suggestion for BYD in Turkiye is: Break Your Dreams

[nurcanarman]

Ortadoğu insanı gibi bir sorun karşısında ağlayıp ağıt yakmaktansa elini taşın altına koyan zeki ve mücadeleci bir ruh. Tebrik ve teşekkür ederim.

[ErkanGumusx]

Byd is a complete disappointment. Unfortunately, its non-transparent pricing policies have alienated people. That's why my choice is the Tesla Model Y. I hope this video reaches the right places. Also, thank you Engin, for making such a video.

[halilyilmaz]

Videonun görünür olması için Hype ederek zirveye taşımalıyız

[oguzhantuna]

X'te BYD Global sayfasına gönderdim. Lütfen herkes göndersin.

[CAPTAINBAHOO]

I completely agree! BYD global should reconsider using a local distributor in order to minimize selling prices and maximize the sales, which will surely happen if they do so!

[evrenertan]

ya valla helal olsun, yayıncıyım diyen diğer kanallarda biraz örnek alsınlar, bir sürü büyük kanal var, hepside kaçak göcek yorumlar yaptılar, suya sabuna dokunmadan, valla helal olsun size, duygularımıza tercüman oldunuz 👋👋👋👋

[ferhatkavrk]

“Yaratıcılık işte tam da bu! Gerçekten müthiş bir video olmuş, Engin. Ülkemizin insanlarının hayallerini, beklentilerini ve ihtiyaçlarını bu kadar samimi ve güçlü bir şekilde dile getirmen beni derinden etkiledi. Bu, yalnızca bir video değil, aynı zamanda bir farkındalık çağrısı. Şimdi top BYD’de! Onların da bu mesajı dikkatle dinleyeceğine ve gereğini yapacağına inanıyorum.”

[topalserdar]

Harikasın Engin bey sonunda biri içeriye konuşmak yerine doğru adrese konuştu. Teşekkürler

[volkanciceklidag]

Emeğinize sağlık Türkiye Cumhuriyeti vatandaşı olarak size çok teşekkür ederim Engin Bey 👏🏻👏🏻

[ihsanmardinlioglu]

Helal olsun kardeşim. Boş boş konuşanlar ya da ücreti mukabili bu fiyatlarla BYD'yi övenlerin aksine doğru hedeflenmiş bir video olmuş, emeğine sağlık.

[fatihmehmetbaysal]

This message will find the target! Congrats!!! #byd #buildyourdreams #bringyourdollars

[FatihKurnaz]

Dear Engin,

Thank you for articulating these crucial concerns on behalf of Turkish consumers. Transparency in pricing and clear communication about incentives are essential for building trust, especially in new markets.
It's important that companies like BYD recognize and address the expectations of local consumers to foster a positive relationship.

Your effort in voicing these issues is commendable, and I hope it leads to meaningful dialogue and solutions.

Keep advocating for what's right!

[bekirt]

Thanks for the great Video Engin Hodja.

I was so excited when i heard byd is coming to Turkiye. But later on i saw prices and I ordered Tesla Y. Now, I am thinking to buy 2nd car which is for my wife. I excited one more time just before BYD’s new announcement but i got disappointed one more time. I dont think i will give this brand 3th chance. But they still have time to turn from their mistake Which is for their future customers.

[kutalms]

Bu video'nuzun altına ben de imzamı koyuyorum.

[mufido]

Byd markasından büyük beklenti var. Umarım bu video gerekli yerlere ulaşır.

[mathecom]

I totally agree. BYD must review their pricing and selling strategy as soon as possible. Otherwise, BYD’s coming to Türkiye will just be a disappointment. Turkish consumers are just expecting similar prices as the ones in EU and China. That’s all.

[Burakeeepc]

All issues mentioned in this video should be taken into consideration by BYD officials and distributor in Türkiye. As a consumer, why should I buy a BYD car?

[mehmetozdemir]

A Heartfelt Thank You for Your Open Letter Video

Dear Engin Özören,

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your recent video addressing the pricing strategy of BYD in Turkey. Your courage to speak openly and your commitment to highlighting such an important issue is truly admirable.

In a time when many choose to remain silent or provide vague commentary, you’ve stepped forward and put your voice behind the concerns of countless consumers. It takes integrity and dedication to address these topics with such clarity and conviction, and your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

Your video not only brings awareness to the situation but also inspires others to question and demand transparency where it’s due. Thank you for being an advocate for fairness and for contributing meaningfully to this conversation.

Please know that your work is appreciated, and your impact reaches far beyond what you might imagine.

Warm regards,

[umutkucuk]
