“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.

    Nearly a third of the world’s manufacturing is done in China. That’s good stuff and crap and everything in between. Chinesium exists because of engineering for a price point, and people are cheap.

    • This here exactly. There’s shit products made in China. There’s brilliant products made in China. It’s just like everything else as per the old adage: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

      If you only want to pay shit product prices, you get shit products. A variant of “play stupid games, win stupid prizes”.
