          what do you mean similar, Tesla keeps getting called out for doctoring their performance, no PRC company has …

          also PRC uses standard plugs… Tesla keeps bullying other manufactures into using their none standard plug… after we all agreed on J1772 and CSS… I am not bitter…

        Not in the USA, but I’ve been seeing more and more BYD cars lately, really cool to see. My city’s buses are all CRRC electrics too. Had the libs seething over alleged “Uighur slave labour” lmao.

      So many people are wired directly into the propaganda. Their feeds are directly in the stream and they literally have no idea that Teslas suck, or any number of other things that we find pretty self evident
