The Chinese love Buicks for some odd reason. Maybe the word ‘Buick’ means something else in Mandarin..................
Most if not all Chinese made sold in China EVs are junk. The only one that everybody loves is the Grandpa EV 3 wheeler for which no license is required, made especially for grandpas that have never driven a vehicle. lots and lots of accidents.
Either vaporware or unobtanium.

It’s funny how it is Illegal to watch TV, movies or use your phone hand held but, the Politicians and Cops are just fine with the amount of information coming at you from your dash board, mirrors and steering wheel.
A surprisingly large percentage of buyers want new disposable cars, good for two years, then hopefully totaled in an "accident" and off to the landfill. That's not green by any measure. When these cars are imported into other countries, governments rake in big money on crazy import taxes, 100 times more pure profit than the China manufacturers ever make. But governments would probably extract more total money having the cars locally produced, taxing every step.
Looks like they screwed up the steering wheel design as it’s not even round. Was the designer drunk or something?

Agree, not sure flashy ads are a good idea if they’re right in front of the driver.
The ‘driver’ is not essential...................
The range is good, but LOTS of unanswered questions relating to the performance of the battery verses Lithium Ion:
1. Optimal charge rate and life impact of higher charge rates
2. Real cost of the battery (car looks cheap, but who knows if it’s being subsidized)
3. Cold and hot weather performance. Lithium Ions like California coastal weather and take hits when it varies. So how much does this battery vary and are there extreme cases where it’s unusable?
4. Safety - how susceptible to fires is it, how frequent?
5. Battery life versus Lithium Ion when operated under a controlled set of conditions.
6. Resources required to manufacture battery, including availability and whether some or most are only available in BRICS Countries (meaning countries sick of the Neocons/Globalists and having the power to tell the Neocon/Globalist-controlled countries to stuff it).
7. Charge/Discharge efficiency (probably not a big deal, but still a factor)
Other factors too, but this is a start.
China eating USA lunch and lunch money
USA falling behind on everything
Usa downfall has begun long time ago
Yeah, but we’re way ahead of them on DEI.
I honestly don’t care about what the car looks like, I want to know the specs of the batteries.

And you play video games while driving
The Chinese are coming for TeslaHumper
