I really don’t get the purpose of a comment like this, who is this for? Have you ridden in a Chinese EV? They don’t “feel” cheap. This type of rhetoric is pretty much the reason other companies are lagging behind. After all, why compete with a “cheap” competitor? There may have been a time when quality of Chinese vehicles was questionable but I’m not sure that’s still the case.

If it weren’t for the protectionist tariffs the west has imposed on them, I would seriously consider a Chinese EV, maybe a Zeeker or Byd.



Even if a car doesn't "feel" cheap, that doesn't mean it's reliable. AFAIK, that's still a big unknown for the Chinese brands, and long-term reliability isn't something Chinese brands are known for.


Everything is made there but we don’t know how reliable their products are?

Their products are unreliable so we have to hit them with import tariffs?


They're probably similar reliability to "American" brands except they spy on you more atrociously.


It was the same in the past with Japan and South Korea. What they produced was considered cheap quality but they kept improving till it no longer was.
