American EV makers are reluctant to compete with Chinese companies because “they’re not ready,” Stella Li, chief executive of BYD Americas, told NBC News in an exclusive interview.
The problem is that Chinese models are so cheap because of government subsidies and slave labor. I still think that Western models are too expensive because of plain greed, but the Chinese models are not without problems either.
Considering the problems of non-penetrating welds, completely inactive airbags, constant fires, idk bout that chief. Like don’t get me wrong, Tesla ain’t it, but they aren’t this bad.
I’m ready for a $15,000 EV.
But I suppose the Ford, GM, and whatever else is left of the US auto industry will never be ready.
How about a $10k EV? https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/22/byd-seagull-ev-puts-global-auto-execs-politicians-on-edge.html
