“Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent, do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?” [Apartheid Manchild] told audiences at an event in November.

Well, for starters I don’t want a car at all. I’d rather use public transit. You know, an actually effective means of reducing emissions.

If I were in the market, yes, I would want the best car. Which is why I’d never buy a Tesla. I’d buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.

    That’s good a link to another reply to me, how about you provide some independent sources with comparisons to alternatives built outside of China

      I suspect that, when dealing with a knee-jerk bigot, no sources would be considered sufficient. The fact that EV manufacturers around the world including Tesla (to the point that there are BYD batteries inside Tesla cars) are nervous of Chinese EVs should be evidence enough, but it doesn’t get past bigotry very well.

        No source to back up your claim that they’re better and that they’re more environmentally friendly (hahahaha), just as I thought.

        If they were made in Taiwan I might believe you, but in China? More environmentally friendly? Better quality? Don’t be an idiot.
