NEW ELECTRIC CHINESE TRUCK?

[Chops]

Probably works as well as buying an iPhone 22 on TEMU for $50
Have you ever bought the worldclass engineering on Wish & TEMU?

Chinese folks don’t buy stuff from TEMU or Wish. They know better?

They do buy a whole lot of EVs though. Mega Market for EVs.

Chinese will buy more EVs this year than the total USA consumption of all vehicles - ICE, Hybrid, EVs, etc.

They’ll probably sell more EV pickups than all of Ford soon enough.

Of course I’d rather have my little Maverick

The Chinese demand for EV’s is huge. They do fine without selling to the USA.

Copying the shape of the Maverick instead of the Cyber Truck was a good move

And then the very limited worlds supply of lithium runs out.
Did you know there is not enough lithium world wide to even replace only the United States gasoline cars ?

When lithium runs out - they’ll go back onto bicycles? I much preferred when China was known as the Bicycle Kingdom. Felt safer.

Remember when “Made In Japan” was synonymous with crap product? American Quality Guru (Dr Deming) helped transform Japanese Manufacturing. American Consumer Dollars helped transform China’s.

They can keep their shit over there far as I’m concerned

That looks similar to a Maverick. China is scary innovative.

LOL the maverick shape/looks are not innovative.
Very basic much like a kids crafted soap box durby vehicle.
Come on now...
Vaste majority of vehicles mirror the style of vehicle right next to it on the road.

Those were the days!! When the Chinese were all riding bikes and “Made in Japan” was a big joke!

I'm not a huge fan of EV, and not a huge fan of All Things China, but I found this very interesting.

I don't know if it was the trucks handling or this guys driving but he was all over both lanes when it would show overheard shots.

The interior was nice.

I was referring to the Tech not the Styling

Ugly, as ell’
Betcha it’s hard to get parts for. And if it’s like everything else China puts out it sucks big time.
Think Hundai or Kia, China had sumthin to do with those.
I hope the Tariffs kill it.
Nuff said.

Or buy one and every time you go out to start it you look to the sky to see if the balloon is flying over that could activate the self destruct routine that's in the computer!!!!

The windtunnel is a cruel taskmaster. Makes everything look the same.

Like most Chinese cars, this is extremely unlikely to come to the much smaller vehicle market in Merkuh. BYD and other companies there make plenty of money selling domestically and to neighboring countries that don't have a system of expensive graft and bribes to for "inspection and certification" to be legal to sell. It's very expensive to qualify a new vehicle for the Merkun market, which is why Ford and others don't change their vehicles very often, letting the original inspection and certification qualify as long as possible. Seems like 10-15 years takes place before a major model change happens, that would require re-certification.

Thus, Chinese car companies don't need to be bothered with it when their market is already much larger. And cooperative India is right next door.

Not only are there safety and emission requirements to be sold in Merkuh, there is also a minimum acceleration standard. That could be construed as "safety", since a 0-60 in 20 seconds vehicle WOULD be a hazard on our highways.

But an electric "pickup" (not really, more like the unibody Maverick) would be fine. As I repeatedly mention, not many people need range more than a couple hundred miles. Those people live in rural areas, or do an unusual long daily drive as part of their work, or as consequences of their choice to live a LONG way from their place of employment. Those people should just get an ICE car/truck, and I applaud them for that decision that fits their needs. Most of the Merkun population lives in towns and cities, and rarely drive more than 75 miles per day, most drive less than 30.

But then again, there are seemingly a LOT of people that make decisions based on their political fealties, and like/dislike what they are told by those that steer their particular political ilk. It's always nice to see people who break the mold and do some things that are counter to the belief system of their assigned political choice; a "liberal" who hunts deer, a "conservative" who drives an EV, etc. That gives me hope that we might be able to ditch these two polarizing political factions and return to a Centrist system, where the other people aren't enemies, but just do some things that you don't do, and vice versa. Currently, I look at people who enjoy seafood as some sort of pariahs that need to be purged from the earth, because I hate seafood.

Add ~which includes decision making through ignorance as to what and where materials come from around the world.
That do become part of the worlds market of important tools, machines, clothes, medical equipment, food, our cel phones!!!
Yep and the hospital people are born in! Etc >>>>>


In the very same house they live.
The beer they drink.
The tires they roll with.
Yep even American brands that are built with foreign materials built in USA with foreign material.
