Depends on what you mean by rough terrain. My country has a lot of unpaved roads and it works on them just fine but I wouldn't go off-roading it it. It is also pretty much always sunny and doesn't rain a lot here so the dirt roads stay in ok condition.
I was told for the sealion 7 that the batteries are mounted at the bottom and they've had people with punctured batteries. I've heard the same thing for Tesla too.
Byd will likely have cars suitable for those environments long before Tesla though.
To me, the flying car was really a vote against looking at Tesla and reminds me of all the other overpromising Elon has done anyway, especially when byd has a working jumping car already
Yeah, although I don't know about puncturing the battery so much as destroying the rest of the stuff under there. The battery is armored and isn't supposed to catch fire because of its chemistry. I drive it on paved roads and really compacted dirt roads but definitely avoid potholes and sand. The Atto 3 has higher clearance but it wasn't available when I bought my car and is still RWD now AWD which is a bummer.
I'm just repeating what I'm told unfortunately.
And yeah, my next car I want to be an EV. An EV jimny would be perfect, but I doubt they'd ever exist
