What makes cars from companies like Dacia or BYD appealing compared to Tesla, especially in Europe?

BYD are Chinese EVs. What makes them attractive is that they are fully featured cars at very attractive prices. Currently their base line model costs 300 000 SEK and is expected to hit 250 000 SEK by autumn. A Tesla Model Y costs 556 000 SEK in baseline configuration.

Dacias are cheap and made in Romania. For my USian followers, think Yugo.

To a customer used to Skodas, Renaults and VWs, they look very attractive.

We can't afford AC and its so hot, theres literally pools of sweat on the couch (TMI sorry) what can I do? I have a ceiling fan but my room feels still feels like a sauna. Any tips to stay cool? I can't fall asleep at night😭
