I know I’m going to be called a shill for this, but anyway:
Earlier today some dude posted a review by wheelsboy for the Avatr 12 sedan. It was immediately downvoted to shit. And it wasn’t a bad review! It was in depth, it was fun, the guy did an overview of the product and showed us how it drove. It wasn’t some low quality thing!
If this was just a random thing, then whatever; odd stuff sometimes from time to time. But this is a reoccuring issue when it comes to Chinese (and even some Euro!) brands and models, or news, or manufacturers
Look, I get it; you don’t like China. I’m not super keen on every aspect of their society myself. But jesus; if you don’t like something, just look away. Stop trying to drown out EV news from the largest EV market in the whole damn world. If you want that, make your own subreddit that’s just about american EVs and remain blissfully unaware of what Stellantis or Geely or whoever the hell is doing. But don’t ruin it for the rest of us!
There’s like 9 comments on the post in question and the thread you’re concerned about is in regards to safety standards from one user. Valid concern, I may add. If the Chinese cars that are flooding out going to be as safe as a G-Wizz or are they actually engineered properly? For the experience most of us have on Chinese products, it’s correct for us to be concerned. Chinese products excluding cars are known for being cheap and low quality. They need to prove themselves first for both Europeans and Americans to trust them. Ask the tough questions and don’t get butthurt when somebody else does. It is also suspicious how China is making so many new models so quickly when all the other manufacturers are taking many years and struggling to make them profitable (look at GM for example, take the Cybertruck’s delayed release as example as well).
We’d like everybody to succeed, but if it’s too good to be true, there usually is a huge underlying issue that we don’t know about yet and are right to be skeptical.
Hm, I wonder how many people aren’t reading this sub on a Chinese device?
