Benchmarking Ford, GM
Taking the BYD Shark for a spin on private property with a mix of smooth and broken pavement in Michigan, the pickup truck drives well. Its acceleration is quick, but not as fast as the Tesla Cybertruck or GM's all-electric pickups. It's quiet, but there's definitely room for improvements to the ride and handling, which feel a bit less refined than current trucks in the U.S.

The overall build quality of the Shark is impressive, but there are quirky elements of the vehicle as well as some "shared" best practices with current pickups by Ford and GM, according to Woychowski.
