BYD slashed the Racco's price by Rs 2.7m in just 9 days — did early buyers get burned?
BYD launched the Racco EV in Sri Lanka on October 9 at Rs 11.45 million. By October 24, the same dealer's ads were showing Rs 8.75 million — a Rs 2.7 million cut in nine days. Industry voices are calling it an unusually fast correction, blaming weak demand and an initial price that tested too high for the market.
Anyone who paid the launch price is stuck holding a vehicle that lost over 20% of its value before the first service. Others say this is actually a good sign: EV pricing here isn't fixed by import cost alone, dealers are watching real demand and adjusting fast, and it may pressure other EV brands to drop too.
If you bought the Racco (or any EV) at launch price, how does this sit with you? And more broadly, has a price crash like this made you wait longer before buying any new model at launch here?
