The engine power comparison is suspiciously absent from the article.

The claims about price are sus too, for all the EVs mentioned. The actual price of Tesla's cheapest Model 3 starts around $45k, so the author's claim that you can buy a Model Y for $34k throws the veracity of the entire article into question.

That’s China prices. Chinese government artificially holds their currency low, hence everything is cheaper there when expressed in USD.
