Back when Chinese EVs were banned in the US I looked at importing a Canadian car bought from China. Then the tariffs hit and made everything not worth the work. Such a shame too because Chinese EVs are so good right now.
you got any evidence these cars will last 11 seconds past the warranty? I don’t care what some dipshit youtuber thinks about the screen color options, will these cars last? Do they have parts support? They are essentially being drop shipped.
do you have reason to believe they are low quality products, or just dont trust reviewers in general?
They can’t be any worse than Jeeps.
Auto reviewers never mention reliability or build quality. They agree to that before they are allowed to review. Everything is positive, and to appear unbiased, they concentrate false criticism on pointless features. The count cupholders or spew a bunch of pointless specs like brake diameters and sway bar diameters.
There are multiple red flags with these vehicles:
They make too many models, sometimes months apart. These companies actually have no long term reliability record.
Australian auto owners forums are complaining about poor reliability. 78% have encountered issues.

But consumers are idiots, they buy $75,000 Jeeps and $110,000 Land Rovers with no concerns of reliability.
I mean, if they are cheap enough who cares?
The alternative is what, spend 3-4x as much and 90% of the car’s basic features are locked behind some bull shit subscription? Fuck that.
Personal anecdote, having issues with mine, and the warranty claim is estimated to take a month just to get approved and the part in. Oh it’s your only vehicle? Damn, sucks to be you.
