ELI5 why we don’t have vehicles like that here

ETA: Apparently the CCP funds their auto industry, giving them that advantage

At the end of the day, it's still built by cheap Chinese labor and will come with those known gremlins.

How much R&D cost did they save by stealing IP though?

They finally built a hybrid the correct way, propulsion is always electric with an onboard gas generator for charging.

The Chinese are masters of media manipulation. I would want to see one of these in person, for sale and avaiable to take home before I believe it's a real thing.

The dude selling it in that video seems like someone who would take money from our enemies. I don't believe him or the car.

There is a LOT of timely editing and smash cuts in that video and there are STILL parts where the tech doesn't work as it is supposed to. (Like when he swiped one of the screens twice and it didn't move...).

It's Chinese junk.

Can speak from one industry and one company (large) perspective, but what China does better than my company is grow their manufacturing leadership, primarily leaders growing up running same manufacturing assets over many years (vs moving them around in their career), and it shows in the quality.

"something or someone would be cooked". Who the hell talks like that? Is the video intended for some pre-teen audience? Quick way to get it turned off.

Go ahead and buy all the Chinese garbage you can get your hands on. You're the one always complaining about money and asking for cost saving tips around here.

Suck that Chinese tit as hard as you can, baw.

The real problem I see with that Chinese vehicle is it just has more stuff that can break and can’t be fixed at home. It would have to be taken to a shop, likely owned by the CCP, to be properly fixed.

Up until recently we were going all electric.


This vehicle also runs off petrol.


So, this type of hybrid vehicle couldn't be made.




Just a reminder of how dumb liberals are.

Amazing how many people on here who are OK with fascist behavior.

You either support the Constitution or you don't support freedom. Simple as that.

So have we.

I argued here many times that the US had a (large) competitive advantage in EVs and we were going to cede it to China and Europe if we didn't foster it.

We are in 1970 all over again it is China this time instead of Japan.

I saw/see a situation where, despite the fact I didn't want any of the current EVs and many people were fundamentally opposed to supporting the industry that it was and is the future of cars.

We still have time but the window is closing.
