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!
I live in america and I agree with you.
Here everybody wants a gazillion mile range and 6 rows of seating and ability to tow their house behind it. Because they love driving, being in the car for hours on end, even days. They want a home on wheels…
But it’s not entirely their fault. There’s absolutely no public transport. Did you know that between the biggest cities in Texas there’s no public transportation to speak of? There is one train a day between Dallas (3rd largest city) and Austin (capital and 4rth largest).
Can you imagine 1 train a day between major cities in Europe?
My god, it’s not enough that you anti-car “urbanists” are preaching all over the rest of reddit, you have to do it on car subs too?
Can you imagine if the hundreds of billions spent on subsidizing EV’s for wealthy people was spent on transit?
The city need video on this is pretty telling and doesn’t even get in to the infrastructure bill
imagine all the good texas is doing with their oil money.
