They have a 17k and 22k model? Are those USD prices? Can we get EVs of that price point in the states like yesterday please?

Those are Chinese prices. You can usually double those by the time you can buy the car in the US or Europe.

Not that things have gotten much better.

But hey, you can move to Australia. Cheap EVs, high minimum wage, very pretty country.

Overblown concerns.

No mass shootings over there.

Scorpion vs. armed incel or maga snowflakes, I prefer the scorpion.

The cheapest BYD is about 40k AUD in Australia.

Nice.

A few Aussies were recommending BYDs to me pretty hard in a thread a couple months ago

Remember that trade war a few years ago?

So! Not yet, unfortunately.
