Forget the US market...
Is it better than the insanely cheap BYDs we're not allowed to buy in America to prop up our failing auto industry that doesn't even build in America anymore?
I look forward to buying one of these used for like 20k. People are going to lose a fortune on resale value.
Yep, can't get cheap and reliable new, so we have to buy used luxury vehicles that aren't reliable because everything in America caters to the wealthiest and we fight over their scraps.
We're doing shit completely backwards if the goal is to actually help the planet.
How many Americans even think about a brand new car, let alone one over 70k?
You had to get a brand new car?
Were you in some low stakes Brewster's Millions scenario or something?
Aren't you funny? I needed a new car because mine died.
No, that makes sense...
Obviously the only option was a brand new off the lot car that immediately depreciated thousands of dollars the second you bought it.
