It’s interesting and a bit weird how little the Chinese market evidently cares about driving dynamics, and how much more emphasis is put on software features.

They use the software. They don't use the driving dynamics.

There's models that have expensive driving dynamics though.

It's like in USA people want pickup trucks and SUV and cheap EVs but we banned cheap EVs.

Or look at people waiting in lines for a cell phone.

China is further ahead with EVs and they've been available longer. They are at the point where manufacturers have to do more to attract customers away from competitors.

In USA GM discontinued it's best selling EV in history.
