Don’t post clickbait.
"Good thing the US government will just bail us out whenever we need it and we can just lobby to make it illegal to sell them here."
Still extremely skeptical of expensive chinesium garbage. I don't see they cars lasting 5 years let alone more. It's cheap for a reason.
I love thinly veiled racism. As if the American automakers aren't building their cars out of 90% "Chinesium" anyway
From the recent reviews I’ve seen in Australia (BYD has a large presence there) everyone comes away extremely impressed.
There are Chinese EV taxis and buses in Singapore service for over five years since their introduction.
"Expensive chinesium" and "cheap for a reason" doesn't add up.
I feel like if the product was that bad or unreliable it simply wouldn't sell the way it has been.
Sure cost plays a part but if it's cheap enough to be a buying factor, odds are it's cheap enough to buy outright or have it paid off early.
You mean like Shein And Temu? Such great Chinese quality there.
