There is a whole genre of YouTube video that can only be described as EV porn.
It is exclusively dominated by Chinese Built videos.
Watch this and you’ll understand by Ford CEO Jim Farley said his visits to China were the “most humbling” experiences of his life.
Seething with anger at the arrogance and laziness of US automakers, and the careless indifference even of UAW workers, their jobs on the line, who voted for the US to drop out of the EV race.
I could only stand to watch half the 1st video. Was he ordered to sell 50,000 of them by next week or die?
I watched at 1.5x speed, and got to the end where the price tag was listed at comfortably below $40k.
It is an embarrassment to the US legacy auto industry.
As for the UAW, the parts industries and car dealerships, they know that EVs mean mean more automation, fewer parts and lower service/maintenance income, so of course they push back.
