Their styling stands out, also there are things inherent to being from China i find more fascinating, especially not being the primary market to these vehicles, similar to 1980’s JDM vehicles have features inherent for it’s primary markets over our domestic products
On top of that, the Chinese manufacturers seem willing to add more creature comforts or (admittedly) useless features. It’s cheaper and made to a vision outside what my domestic market provides, and way more enticing than any EV i could think of now.
Probably the best part is cutting out dealers because they’ve put the domestic industry in a terrible position overcharging for every available make and model for sale, thinking that the market can hold the high prices they demand because they still think people still have spare cash from covid. Now their overstock inventory hasnt moved for some up to a half a year, and they’re trying to cut prices down because their stock is bought via financing, which I’ve recently learned “punishes” dealers if stock doesnt move after 3 months by shooting up the interest rates, lighting a fire under their ass.
This is a problem of their own making, and having a new competitor helps shake up these markets
Now if Peru entered the automotive market with something it would be interesting for other reasons, I know Peru doesnt have the industry to make EVs and i dont find it fruitful to think in these kinds of hypotheticals. Their needs would produce a different kind of vehicle entirely
I would want the chinese one. If BYD were to open domestic manufacturing in america, the entire cost savings angle would be gone, absorbed by inefficient manufacturing, incredibly inept management, and a board of directors only seeking profit. Under these conditions there can BE no identical product.
As with other things, I am far more interested in the foreign produced product than I am with any domestically made one. Be it practical, like price, or a romance to them, like the idea of a culture of craftspeople who engage in the art of their professions.
I find no use in engaging with the prospect that a similar car made in america could be as enticing because there wont ever be one, certainly if the chinese examples dont make it to our shores first, You cant ask me to compare a BYD Han to anything in Ford’s lineup. Maybe you could compare it to a hybrid or all electric Honda Accord, but already considering a Chinese electric from the start gives you an answer.
Unless you’re trying to compare them to Teslas. In which case there’s no comparison, Teslas are junk

Shit’s way cheaper. And I am curious about their cars, nothing wrong with that.

Yes. The Chinese one is cheaper and better.
This is like your 10th comment basically saying the same thing, you seem to really be struggling with this. It’s a very simple concept
