    The moment those Chinese EV startups enter the US market, Tesla will be in real trouble if they don’t have their product quality image problem fixed by then.

    It’ll be like Detroit’s Big 3 automakers tanking when small fuel efficient Japanese cars landed in the 70s oil crisis.

    Assuming those Chinese EV companies don’t have their own quality problems…

      There’s already so many BYDs in Australia.

      At $20,000 cheaper, it sure makes a lot of people not care about whatever bells and whistles the Tesla has.

      Tesla is already in trouble.

      Hyundai Ioniq 5/6, Kia Ev6.

      VW ID line.

      Ford F150 Lightning.

      Those are the things that will absolutely decimate Tesla’s market share. Known brands that can actually put together cars without basic issues like Panel gaps and paint issues.

      Ones that reject the absolutely dangerous and moronic UX of putting everything onto a big screen instead of having physical buttons.

        Big difference there. Volvo may be owned by a Chinese company but they’re made in the US and Europe (except the S90) and are designed by Swedish engineers. That’s like called Jaguars and Land Rovers Indian since they’re owned by Tata.

        The cars that GP are referring to are entirely designed and built in China.

      china sucks worse then Tesla. Everything they build is cheap crap that falls apart. Last thing I’d ever do is buy some pos from china
