BYD's Vertical Integration Revealed: CT Scanning Components from the World's Top EV Maker

Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
The article uses BYD's vehicle sales milestone (4.6M in 2025) and the fact that Americans can't buy them as a hook to explore vertical integration through CT scanning of four BYD components. However, the provided content excerpt is actually a personal essay about the author's anxiety over inconsistent craftsmanship in their own life—comparing a coffee table, dining table, tool chest organization, and bookshelf—suggesting the article may weave between personal reflection and technical analysis of BYD's manufacturing philosophy.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledIn the dark nights of my soul, I fret about how inconsistently engineered my life is.
The coffee table I made a year or two ago was intended to look like the dining room table I built a few years earlier, but in reality the two bear only a vague resemblance to each other.
Open a drawer of my tool chest at random, and perhaps you'll find a thematically-aligned collection of well-loved hand tools, meticulously cut into a nest of Kaizen foam, or maybe you'll find a random assortment of half-forgotten specialty wrenches.
