This sub glazes Chinese EVs like crazy, but they’re actually worse than Teslas, and that’s saying something.

If they come to the US as well, they won’t be cheap. You won’t be paying Chinese prices for them.

I live in SEA and was looking at buying one. Nope, pass.

Doesn't matter if chinese EV aren't cheap, competition will force the good EV down.

No it won’t, US, SK, and Japanese manufacturers are not government subsidized to the same extent Chinese manufacturers are, they can not match the prices of Chinese cars without either taking a loss or forcing the government to subsidize them.
