The acceleration seems ok for $11K.

How quick will it catch a garage on fire though?

A safe battery technology and 190 mile range - could be a game- changer indeed.

BYD has been bribing US politicians for years like Newsom and Jeb Bush.

Not to worry. The auto unions will push their government flunkies to implement so many expensive “safety features” through regulation that the vehicle will become unaffordable.

A lightweight micro car slicing it up with American pickups and SUVs. And somehow, I doubt it will be sold for 11,400 in America or pass the massive DOT safety rules.
Mostly legitimately, but also due to political corruption in defense of Autoworkers who will oppose it tooth and nail.

You never had an Abarth Yogo, a 124 spider or even sport coupe.

Certainly no lancias or a ferrari dino

whatever

“Could Revolutionize the US Market”

“Touted as a game-changer for the EV industry”

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wo’t believe it until the BOOM and BLOCKBUSTER superlatives are used
