    Another day, another CCP shill post. Tomorrow you’ll tell us about their beautiful human rights handling I hope.

    I’ve recently driven a brand new 2023/2024 Maxus T90EV. It had 15 miles on the clock when I drove it. These are the problems I experienced with it and these aren’t even touching on my preferences like I thought the seats were uncomfortable, or that regenerative braking is quite aggressive and can’t be changed. So I doubt China EVs are going to take over, not in 2024 at least.

    • Auto lights didn’t work
    • Auto wipers didn’t work
    • Intermittent wipers didn’t work
    • Rear view camera was really poor quality
    • Infotainment system crashed, where I had to walk away from the vehicle with it still in its crashed state. At some point it finally turned off and worked again on the next drive
    • Bluetooth audio kept crashing
    • Infotainment system is really basic
    • Shudders when driving on the factory set speed limiter
    • No driving aids like cruise control or driver defined speed limiter

      You’ll be waiting a while. They’re still trying to figure out how to replace fax machines.

      A Gundam then. That will be $725M for the base model without Beam Saber and shield. Would you like to pay in cash or card?

          I’m sorry citizen but the Earth Federation currently does not accept stolen reserves for test drive bonds. You may wish to contact the Principality of Zeon who may be amenable to your mode of payment. Thank you and have a nice day!

    Probably not a well received opinion but the amount of China promoting drivel that goes on here in lemmy is astounding.

      Eh, I’ve seen all these same headlines on Hacker News. China is a rapidly developing country with a lot more people, manufacturing, advancements, and news than many other countries so it makes sense that there would be a lot of news coming out of it.

      I just visited China for the first time during a business trip a few weeks ago and as an American I was impressed. The US media tries so hard to present only the negative that a lot of Americans aren’t even aware of all the achievements they’ve accomplished.

      Which is the propaganda? The posts touting Chinese achievements in tech, or the posts saying to beware of the Chinese milestones?

      Both.

    It’s the result of massive subsidies. When they stop, this market will crash like a house of cards.

        Not really. It’s mainly about gaining market dominance on a technology they think is the future. They’ll build them right next to the massive coal plant alongside a million other things they’re subsidizing.

          Even if its not some altruistic reasons, they still are literally subsidizing this emissions reducing technology.

          Tho they are also going pretty ham on subsidizing renewable energy too.

            You won’t be saying that once the market crashes. You’ll realize that there are much better ways of spending that money. Like far more practical emissions reducing solutions.

              How do subsidies=crash, and what are more effective emissions reductions solutions than renewable energy and electrifying transit?

                You’re better off spending it on stuff like mass transit and the like. It won’t just all disappear at some point in the future.

        Or all of the food in the USA. Imagine all agra subsidies stopped. Probably a bigger deal than a EV market disruption.

          Well honestly we need to stop with corn subsidies. It is used far too much in our food system. Corn sugar just needs to stop.

    I‘m just waiting on the release of the german X-Bus. A modular 600kg vehicle that counts as a quad and can be used as a bus/transporter/pickup/camper and recharges 30-50km of range a day through solar energy on the roof for under 20k€ is exactly what I want from an EV. I don’t need a 50k price tag with shiny smart features.

        it basically falls under the vehicle classification of tricycles and golf carts, so the safety standards are, shall we say, more lenient

    I went to one of the links and some of their cars had a 404 error, so I’m guessing that’s what their repairability and warranty would be like in the states.

    “Whatever kind of EV you might want, chances are China has it.”

    proceeds to describe a car that’s slower and has less range than my e-bike

    Kinda curious what the other options are, I got hit with a paywall.

    I want an Aptera. Any solar cars available in China? A Telo would be sweet but they’re super early on.

    They also have fields of decaying vehicles that were built solely to take advantage of the subsidies
