    If BYD weren’t stealing western designs I might consider them. They are saving a lot of cost from not having to do much RnD

      Source? Or is it just a matter of “it has the same shape as a western car, and a steering wheel = omfg IP theft”?

      If they are affordable and sold here I may consider them. Affordability and knobs and buttons are all I want.

      If they make a small truck on top of that, I’d start saving today.

      But I’m starting from zero knowledge, so this is all whimsical atm.

      I would never sit my ass over several kilos of several-watt-charged chinese lithium, anyway. I don’t want to be the brightest flame on the road.
