It’s been well covered how good their EVs are now

By Chinese media? They’ve provided zero data to independent engineers to substantiate their performance or reliability claims.

Not what I am seeing.

Their cars are all over the world and have been thoroughly examined by Western engineers.

Most Chinese vehicles don’t comply to DOT standards and it may be 10k but have fun with the delivery and tariff costs added on to it. Roger, Mr Economics, forgot about that part after viewing his AP article.

Never said I was. That vehicle can't be purchased in the US. If it could, it cost 24k. The point is China's EV vehicles are getting better just like what happened with Japan manufacturing. It's no surprise that when humans do something alot they become experts at it. The old saying "Practice makes Perfect" is definitely true

Where are you seeing it? I’ve never seen a degradation analysis, BMS overview, UL testing, etc. I get calls from Chinese home energy providers weekly asking to get on my approved vendor list and I have yet to have one provide a bankability report. They just disappear after that.

Wasn't their cheap ai that just came out on par with the first iteration of chatgpt.

Still impressive, not sure why hyperbole is needed.

This is a product of subsidization, lack of manufacturing regulation, low wages, and being the prime manufacturer of those battery components.

Our cars are legally required to do things that increase pricing, the US auto manufactures have continued to lobby for more computing for two major reasons.
1. Increase cost
2. Increase repair requirements to licensed shops.

This heavily impacts US costs.

That said Tesla uses far less employees to build far more cars than Chinese EV manufacturers.

...

Are they though? Their real estate market has been shown to be worse than any scam I've seen, and their birth rates are plummeting. Also, command economies have this nasty habit of lying both internally and externally.

Same in this country. It's led to a lack of ingenuity in this country.

Tesla has plants in China, sell for competitive prices and have been surpassed by BYD

There is no comparing subsidization in these industries in China vs US. They are not even remotely close to being similar much less the same.

China imports everything from its technical knowledge, intellectual property, food and energy. The only thing they have in abundance is people and control over those people. And that is rapidly dwindling due to the effects from one child policies and the vast aging out of their “boomer” generation with no replacement gen. Hell, the United States still patrols and protects shipping lanes that largely benefit Chinese trade.

Yeah this is hilarious. Chinese media and content creators paid by China to promote China are making China's output sound amazing?



Next you'll tell me Russia is doing the same thing with content creators defending their invasion of Ukraine.

Do you dispute that we just spent tens of billions retooling factories for our auto makers?
