A bad omen for Mr Musk.
You can easily identify the pioneers in the field, by the arrowes in their back.

“I see the #1 Chinese EV factory is not doing well.
“
?
““It took eight months from groundbreaking of the Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory to the output of this product, which fully reflects ‘Shanghai speed and Lingang service’,”
Is this the model that was being used as a police car and ran out juice in the middle of a pursuit of a bunch of perps? - also a bad omen......
The Chinese EV brand has gone from boom to bust in record time... but why, and what does it mean for other premium EV startups?

Lingang service
Lingang is a geographic area of Shanghai, as Staten Island is to NYC.
Not so much ‘man bites electric dog’, just another story.

There is a YouTube guy that buys salvaged cars and puts them back together. He recently bought a Tesla and was repairing frame damage and during the filming he showed the extremely POOR quality of the Tesla factory welds. I was stunned at how poor the workmanship was. I did better welds in high-school shop class in 1968 when I was 14 years old.
There is a YouTube guy ...
Please post a link.
I’ve seen a couple where a hardcore gear/volt head does some interesting work.
And the guy in Norway with paint issues...
fast forward to 10:30 and watch for about 2 minutes:

Overall, the factory work is horrid on these cars.

Then again why don’t we see them everywhere?
There are more than a few Teslas living in my area, AMG’s, a Ferrari, I’ve seen a few kit cars come and go, nothing that looks like a Shelby Cobra?
A few years back, a guy had three DeLoreans!!!
Until then...NO THANKS!
Why is Rich swilling that cheap Valvoline crap?
I don’t usually swill brake fluid, but when I do, I want
Brembo 600!
NB: The ugly welds did not fail it was an eye on the subframe. Also no mention of ugly welds on the replacement?
That was a fun video, thank you for sharing.
Junk that would not exist without federal grants and California mandates...
I see a few Cobras here in the Treasure Valley, but never close enough to see who made them. I am certain they are replicas.
SAMCRAC and Rich are cool! I love the swilling brake fluid...
Thanks DUMBGRUNT. An email leaked on, hmm, Thursday I believe, Elon thinks the company has a shot at 100,000 delivered for the quarter. Stock jumped about fifteen bucks.
Buy on the rumor, sell on the news!
