Yet Tesla is often criticized for attempting to disrupt the electric car market. They're too small; it takes years and billions to make a car line; they're too expensive. They can't get volume from suppliers to get a good price. And on and on.

How could others have it easier then? Maybe because those Chinese cars could never be on a road in the West, because they're dangerous and untested?

The only reason you see so many electric car companies in China is because of money laundering, scams and non existant regulatory enforcement.

There's no chance in hell China is ever going to release a car that people will trust/forced to trust outside of China. That would mean actual due diligence, not chabuduo. Especially, not after they put ecstacy in lego.

Xi should ditch the "2020 made in china", create a whole new country to label manufacturer label, "Made in Xina"

Xina? Hey I'll take it over "Made in China" because I'm a dumb ass consumer who has never seen Google Maps before.

I wonder how many people said the same of Japan and South korea
