    You can’t really get any of those Chinese car brands in the USA. Best you can usually do is import one directly yourself and by then the price doesn’t make sense. I assume that GM and Ford have something to do with it.

      BYD is reportedly going to build a Mexico factory to enter into the US. More power to them, a cheap EV maker would move things along very quickly in adoption.

      I know what you’re thinking: “but muh china” which is a good counterpoint, and here’s my response.

        Honestly my question would be for build quality, but if the Mexicans are building it that goeas away.

        And any other issues I have with the cars are problems I have with all modern cars, and most of them can be solved with wire cutters and power tools. Also id probably at most get a used one, because fuck buying new.
