BYD quarterly sales beat Tesla for first time
比亚迪季度营收首超特斯拉
China’s biggest electric vehicle maker BYD has posted higher quarterly revenues than US rival Tesla for the first time, but a bruising price war in its domestic market dragged on its profitability.
中国最大电动汽车制造商比亚迪(BYD)报告的季度营收首次高于美国竞争对手特斯拉(Tesla)，但国内市场的惨烈价格战拖累了其盈利能力。
BYD revenues for the third quarter reached Rmb201bn ($28.2bn), surpassing the $25.2bn sales that Tesla reported last week. The Warren Buffett-backed carmaker sold a record 1.1mn cars in the three-month period, boosted by a new round of Chinese government subsidies for EVs.
比亚迪第三季度营收达到2010亿元人民币（合282亿美元），超过特斯拉上周报告的252亿美元销售额。受中国政府新一轮电动汽车补贴的推动，沃伦•巴菲特(Warren Buffett)支持的这家汽车制造商在该季度实现创纪录的110万辆汽车销量。
