Chinese car manufacturer BYD has admitted to selling more than 1,000 new vehicles to Australians with the wrong build date. Frustrated customers who received cars built in 2025, instead of the 2026 builds they had paid for, say they were initially offered $1,100 in compensation. But after the ABC contacted the company, it admitted to the mistake and changed its offer for affected customers to a full refund.
