What makes cars from companies like Dacia or BYD appealing compared to Tesla, especially in Europe?

To a customer used to Skodas, Renaults and VWs, they look very attractive.

Dacias are cheap and made in Romania. For my USian followers, think Yugo.

BYD are Chinese EVs. What makes them attractive is that they are fully featured cars at very attractive prices. Currently their base line model costs 300 000 SEK and is expected to hit 250 000 SEK by autumn. A Tesla Model Y costs 556 000 SEK in baseline configuration.

Why wasn't Queen as successful in America as in other countries? Then, after Radio Ga Ga, they couldn't even get into the top 40 in America even when these songs were top 10 hits everywhere else in the world.
