The American & European auto industries have led us to $50-70K electric cars and trucks with shoddy manufacturing, falsely advertised range, months-long wait times and dealership markups, expensive maintenance and repairs and shit like seat heating subscriptions on top. If China is succeeding it's because customers desperately want reasonable alternatives.
If BYD shows up stateside with a 25-50% discount over Tesla and other premium manufacturers for similar quality and features (like they do in Australia and elsewhere), I will be first in line.
