    I am shocked that a Chinese company with access to materials is selling heavily subsided EVs. Shocked! Meanwhile in the US, nobody can make them in quantity and when they do Americans don’t want them. Shocked!

    None of you would purchase this car to any Toyota quality wise as well. These things are sub Mitsubishi quality.
