For the last 2 years we’re suddenly awash with these cheap Chinese cars, and yank tanks.
They’re both ridiculous in their own way. I can’t see myself buying either in the next decade.
The Chinese stuff is only selling because its cheaper, but it’s going to cost a lot more to own because it’s going to lose value much more quickly than real cars. As usual, you pay more for cheaper products.
That said, I don’t mind them being here and putting some downward pressure on the price of proper cars.
It costs more to own because it loses value more quickly… You mean, like all EVs? Or were you talking about the car losing half of its value the minute it drives off the lot?

Commence downvotes butthurt tankies.
I’m honestly confused about who the tankies are supposed to be at this point. Downvotes for what?
