Auto execs in the US, Europe, and Japan never thought Chinese EVs were a threat. Now they’re coming to wipe the floor with their Western counterparts.
“You won’t believe what’s coming,” warned the title of a January 2023 video from the Inside China Auto YouTube channel. “Europe’s premium car makers aren’t ready for this,” warned another video from the same channel, uploaded in July.
Produced by Shanghai-based automotive journalist Mark Rainford, a former communications executive for Mercedes-Benz, the channel is one of several by China-based Western commentators agog at what they are seeing—and driving.
Ppfffff hahaha that is ridiculous.
Yes they made videos.
No they have not successfully made an even decent electric car with any range yet in China.
Geez way to spread unsubstantiated propaganda about a product from China with an abysmal track record so far.
I mean… I own a BYD in Australia. It’s got 400 km range and it’s the cheap, low range model. With a 5 star safety rating.
What was that you were saying about unsubstantiated propaganda?
That I would like sources rather than unsubstantiated propaganda.
Anecdotes are fun, though.
Which byd do you have?
An Atto 3. Is that relevant?
You’re making a blanket statement that none of something exists, so a single example existing is actually a sufficient counterpoint. We’re not arguing numbers, we don’t need to establish statistical significance.
Woo, bit defensive. Yea, who needs numbers anyway?
I think if you’re sharing an anecdote about the car you own that you have not mentioned you are satisfied with but are presumably attempting to make some undefined point by mentioning, yes, the model is relevant.
My initial comment(about the article) does not express that evs do not exist in China, it expresses that the article is incredibly and embarassingly overreaching in its effusive praise for completely unsubstantiated in-house marketing for theorized future products from one of the least reliable industries in China.
Dude, you raslly look pathetic on this argument, just give up.
Very convincing.
Think I’ll just continue to be correct and you can dance along to the merry tune of everyone else who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
It looks like you think the Chinese cars are all like that car meme “Alibaba $2000 Chang li”
The byd Atto 3 is comparable in build quality and in range to a Volkswagen id4 while costing 10k less
Nope, i was talking about actual EVs, not the little farm trucks.
That’s good to hear about the atto 3, first Chinese ev I’ve heard any firsthand consumer praise for. Do you have one yourself?
Thanks.
I tried the Atto 3 and it’s really nice, luxurious. But there’s no way that I’m paying 40k for something that launched in my country one month ago
Source?
Just hoping for info about China’s Ev. Never mind. I’ll look it up.
Oh you answered yourself in this comment chain earlier, not me, so I didn’t see you were looking for information or I would’ve sent you some.
It’s a cool itndustry to look into, enjoy.
For what, specifically?
Found this.
