[Dormant] Electric Vehicles

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.

I dunno, maybe put out not stupid bloated trash?

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.

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/

Perfect example of unnecessary quotation marks.

I mean I'd take a cheap chinese car the only thing stopping me is that importing cars from other countries sucks.
