Game on! China is a formidible manufacturing empire.
Sometimes a country has the advantage to leapfrog. China is in that position.
One time I was stuck in a airport with friends and debating our options. I was asked if we needed a hotel by a hotel representative. I said yes. She got out a little tablet and started to push buttons. She was able to reserve two rooms for us and arrange transportation to the hotel in moments. The price was reasonable and we agreed. The reservation was confirmed. Everything went as planned and we were able to relax until our flight was rebooked for the next day.
That was in Manila, 1994.

Yes they are. Growing at an unprecedented rate. 5 year plans.

Yep. I saw one the other day. Didn't know what it was, so I checked it out.
Specs are weak compared to the Tesla Model 3. I think they start around $60K.
Good point!
However-I expect more " mass production" vehicles like the Tesla model 3 by the Chinese coming. Let's face it-they are not as complicated and have far less moving parts than their I.C.E. counterparts. If they can meet crash standards the Chinese will import them over here.
I think people equate Chinese EVs with low price EVs.
At this point, that car does not exist; not even close.

Made in China with a state of art factory employing few people and LOTS of robots. Catch up North America or wonder what happened!
I would agree.................
I am waiting to see the Ford F-150. I understand the first ones will be a hybrid V6, with that amazing 10 speed transmission.
Sounds like a winner to me. The full electric model comes later.
The 10 speed (and nine speed) were jointly developed by GM and Ford. I guess each put their own tweaks in it.
And yet, $20K gets you an Altima that will go 600+ highway miles on a tank and achieves a real world fuel to wheel efficiency of over 30%. Something no EV can do.

Just hope we will get to choose … depends on age? because it might be forced on some generation
True, but they've also reached a tipping point where they are now becoming self sufficient and developing their own technology. Shenzhen is basically China's Silicon Valley. China's version of State Capitalism has propelled them to record growth. No country has gone from poor to prosperity so quickly.
