How do Chinese E.V.s' stack up against ...

Yeah, I would say that would be the case considering how popular other foreign brands are in the US. It's not like I haven't owned non US made cars, but the majority of my cars have been domestic. Most probably don't think like me, but I'd just rather have a car that benefits US workers. I won't buy a lesser car just to get a US product, but all things the same I'd prefer to buy American. At this point there's a number of foreign manufacturers who do build cars in the US. If they start building some of them here then maybe I'd change my tune.
I have never owned anything but GM, Ford or Chrysler products, nothing else ever. So one could say I prefer buy America, more than most people. Having said that the fact still remains the Chinese can make top quality products if they choose to. And if they ever offer EV's in the US, Elon and Tesla are going to have their hands full, more-so than those offering ICE and EV's.

Wait till the big boys get in!

No doubt. We're a rarity caring where our products come from.
 
They are building a lot of nuclear, which is good, but there's a cultural issue here with respect to QC, and it doesn't just apply to stuff we've outsourced there, but their own infrastructure and products.
Point taken, and what you wrote and @Torrid 's comment above backs up what I'm saying. If China ever starts selling cars in the US Tesla is going to take a hit, and a big one IMO. That's not hate mongering but something that might one day become a reality for them. FTR we were talking about cars, not Nuke power plants, something where quality matters a lot more. ;)
 
When making general statement of the performance of EV’s it’s only fair that population is considered as well. The most populous city in Canada is Toronto with a metropolitan population of 7 million people. Here is a posting of its average temperatures. Although it is “ cold” in the winter the low temperature is normally 0 degrees F. The low temp discussed in the video was -27 C which is -17 F. It rarely gets to that temperature in Toronto. Mods, I used a screen shot from Weather Spark to show the average temp in Toronto.

Yeah, my point is simply that the QC issues are endemic, as illustrated with my example, so people concerned about this being a problem with EV's are quite right to hold that concern.
