Maybe they’ll sell these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SEfwoqKRU8
Those are stupider looking than the Smart Car. It didn’t think that was possible.
I’ve seen a few in my U.S. city. It will be a blessing to those in the third world and will fill a niche need here.
I have an electric trike that I pedal to my local university. I take courses there. Only once in the last semester did I need to drive a car. The trike cost about $5,000.
I'm considering getting out of the US.
I guess you don’t know who was behind the 9/11 attack. I’ll give you a start: It wasn’t the Vietnamese.
China’s Flagship EVs are Exploding in Huge Numbers

Was thinking of an extended vacation a little more than five years ago.
I had lived in China for a while a long time ago (basically when it first opened up), then lived in Taiwan for two years. Then I came back to America and worked at a company for 20 years.
I wanted to travel again, but for some reason I decided to try Vietnam this time. Now people’s experiences with Vietnam are all over the place … some like it, others completely don’t. I was still single, and just decided to go. Now I had some experience in Asia before which have influenced my opinions and choices, but I just tried things out. I decided I would try in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) at first.
The most noteworthy thing I noticed (immediately), was the weather (VERY HOT ALWAYS, very wet half the year), the people (VERY nice), and the traffic (TERRIBLE). And EVERYONE rides a motorcycle. I had riden a bike for many years in LA. I thought that meant I was experienced … (I completely wasn’t)
I tried an online dating site, and actually met a very nice young lady the first time I tried. Be very careful, lots of guys have different experiences. But my luck was quite good. I am now happily married and living here now.
Be prepared for challenges, like Vietnamese/English (still challenging) and maybe avoid the most common types of people you tend to meet in a city such as this. You can meet someone nice here, but you can also make a BIG mistake. This is the difficult part.
But it is interesting here.
Oh, never lose your temper. 😎
I have an electric trike (basically a go-cart)
Looking to upgrade…
I am not a globalist.
In fact i did some research, right here on this very website.
As far as I could tell, I was exactly the third person to mention the name of Donald Trump, in connection with him being a GOP candidate, on this website.
Before he came down that escalator. In 2015.
Sheesh …
I think A/C is very important here.
At least every time you start it up, you will want to cool down the cabin.
Ok an update:
I have been watching for this since it was announced, about three months ago.
I just saw an article, indicating a revision to the release date, to the end of the year.
Here is a you-tube, in Chinese of the initial version,

And here is the recent update: (starts with the url)
Six Chinese carmakers, Chery, Wuling, Haima, Haval, Zhidou, and Lynk & Co, are present in the Vietnamese market or announced plans to enter it.
…Zhidou displayed its Zhidou A01 at an exhibition in Ho Chi Minh City in mid-May. The Chinese carmaker said it would sell the commercial version of the car from the end of 2023.
Zhidou said it would set up a joint venture in Vietnam to assemble cars, with the logo and brand names customized for the local market.
The company has said it will set up a large charging network throughout Vietnam when it starts selling the A01 model…
So just a bit longer.
😎
Will be very nice to get some more chargers, as well.
Apologies.
That is in Vietnamese. Not Chinese.
