Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) has reportedly halted its gigacasting manufacturing process, a move aimed at cutting costs amid declining sales and increasing competition, particularly from BYD Co. (OTC:BYDDY) (OTC:BYDDF) and traditional automakers like Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:TM). This decision marks a strategic shift for Tesla, which had previously aimed to innovate car manufacturing by casting large sections of the vehicle's underbody in one piece. Despite this pause, Tesla plans to focus on producing more affordable cars using existing platforms and has not completely abandoned the small-vehicle platform intended for the so-called Model 2, now pivoting towards developing a self-driving robotaxi.

BYD Co. is charging significantly higher prices for its EVs in Europe compared to China, aiming for higher profits amidst fierce domestic competition. Unlike Tesla, which marks up its Model 3 by 37% in Germany, BYD's markups can reach nearly triple the Chinese prices. This strategy helps BYD avoid the 'cheap Chinese product' stigma and build a premium brand. However, Europe's slowing EV market and potential trade tensions could challenge BYD's strategy. Tesla's more modest markup contrasts with BYD's aggressive pricing, reflecting different market strategies.
