America Is Missing Out on the Best Electric Cars: Whatever kind of EV you might want, chances are China has it.
  • possibly because of the mindrot you've been force fed to believe China doesn't have any innovative capability. If you get news from west and reddit/twitter/facebook you'd think China is a country under a rock just making shitty toys. CCP is shitty, authoritarian and downright evil, but they've got over billion people, it's telling that it hurts your ego, they do something positive not to your liking.

    Like seriously, are you now complaining about EVs being built by the biggest manufacturing nation or is that just your prejudice showing?

    I'm not even from China and I want the competition to get fierce so I can afford a durable EV, so I can finally ditch my ICE car. But you do you.

    Stay mad though. Progress is made when it makes conservatives and xenophobic people like you uncomfortable.
