Low quality cars heavily subsidized by the government are not exactly valid comparison. We do need to force manufacturers to lower their profits though. Current prices of electric cars are more than 50% pure greed.
American “high quality” cars have their roofs and doors falling off, so it’s a pretty valid comparison. Pay 50,000 USD, your door handles don’t work, your roof might fall off and you aren’t allowed to fix anything yourself.
Also, I’m in China right now, and these are not “low quality” electric cars. The BYD mid-range SUVs I’m talking about match the range and quality manufacture of Teslas and bolts I’ve been in. You’ll need to back that statement up with very current articles and evidence.
They have cheaper ones too, like 3k US, work fine, and are compacts.
