Americans aren't going to care about quality that much if their monthly payment is only $200. As long as a Chinese EV is reliable long enough to make it's total cost of ownership much lower than American EVs or ICEs they will line up to buy them.

The American market has been desperate for a cheap and reliable car, a role Japanese automakers used to fill, and both US and Japanese makers know it.
