I am curious about how the QA is going to be. When Chinese companies decide to do QA, it's awesome. When they don't, its beyond bad.
This'll be fun to watch, actually.

If they can pass the crash tests and get over other regulatory issues then sure make them available and let the market decide. I recall when Hyundai first entered the US market and the Yugo. One was able to change to meet US market demands but it took a decade and the other died.
Chinese brands compete in other markets against US, Japanese, EU, and Korean brands. In my experience, most folks are choosing non-Chinese brands because the quality, performance and features are not competitive.
I dunno, maybe put out not stupid bloated trash?
No thank you. Made in fucking CCP run China is not the same as the 1980's high quality Japanese cars and motorcycles. Furthermore, the Chinese will face patent infringements that will block importation to the 1st World, with exception to Volvo.
Americans, like most people, are open to just about anything if you hit them with enough marketing or propaganda.
Whoever sells the EV version of a Toyota Corolla or Camry in the US will get filthy fucking rich.
Right now, I'm guessing it will be Volvo: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/how-volvo-landed-cheap-chinese-ev-us-shores-trade-war-2024-04-24/
VW simply said "no thanks we don't want to print money" by refusing to sell the ID3 in the US or Canada.
The ID.3 is almost exclusively operated using touch-sensitive buttons and surfaces or the intelligent Natural Voice control.
Gross touch buttons!
Volvo Chads stay winning. I've owned 30+ years of Volvo cars and hope to make it 50+ with a EX30 sometime within the next few years.
I mean I'd take a cheap chinese car the only thing stopping me is that importing cars from other countries sucks.
But at the end of the day, he told InsideEVs, “if you have a compelling product and it’s cheaper, it’s tough from an economic sense to keep those vehicles out.”
"hold my beer!"
