I know I’m going to be called a shill for this, but anyway:
Earlier today some dude posted a review by wheelsboy for the Avatr 12 sedan. It was immediately downvoted to shit. And it wasn’t a bad review! It was in depth, it was fun, the guy did an overview of the product and showed us how it drove. It wasn’t some low quality thing!
If this was just a random thing, then whatever; odd stuff sometimes from time to time. But this is a reoccuring issue when it comes to Chinese (and even some Euro!) brands and models, or news, or manufacturers
Look, I get it; you don’t like China. I’m not super keen on every aspect of their society myself. But jesus; if you don’t like something, just look away. Stop trying to drown out EV news from the largest EV market in the whole damn world. If you want that, make your own subreddit that’s just about american EVs and remain blissfully unaware of what Stellantis or Geely or whoever the hell is doing. But don’t ruin it for the rest of us!
It’s great to talk about BYD or Geely or a Renault Zoe or whatever…
My biggest gripe is that I CAN’T HAVE ONE.
I care about cars that I can attain. That means cars that are sold here in the states for under 30k.
I don’t care if it uses OE developed technology and an original design, espionage stolen technology and copyright infringed designs, or alien technology and design.
I don’t give a shit where the car comes from. America, Japan, China… Fucking Uranus for all I care.
Sell it in the US.
This is a problem made in US, not elsewhere. You can’t have one because of anti free market policies and general hostility to EVs in aggregate here
