Yet the cheapo BYD Dolphin they are selling in Australia received better adult, child, AND pedestrian crash ratings than the brand new BMW X1 which costs more than 50% more…
I guess BMW must also be putting in low quality steel and taking out the crumple zones for their cars destined for down under.
In the EU these advanced systems have to be fitted in all new vehicles since 2022: intelligent speed assistance; alcohol interlock installation facilitation; driver drowsiness and attention warning; advanced driver distraction warning; emergency stop signal; reversing detection; and event data recorder (“black box”).
This increases the price of vehicles that are sold in the EU because including all that, increases the price of a vehicle without those systems.
Just when I thought that China haters had exhausted their specious arguments, another one pops up.
The software in an Xpeng or Huawei car is miles more advanced than the equivalent Tesla or BMW. They have 9 lidar sensors in the most recent Huawei. How many does the Tesla have?
Dude, I am not a China hater. I am just saying that the EU requires a certain number of paint systems to be installed in all vehicles and this contributed to increased prices. My EV was manufactured in China. Jeez.
