Does this burning at 200 j/g really mean it would be a lot safer or do you chalk this up to be company propaganda. Clearly it is a lot lower than gasoline, but since 600-900 proved to still be an issue, could this be enough to stabilize people’s fears you think?

    i always trust Chinese companies and definitely the ones with big Chinese state subsidies. the only reason BYD is a thing is because they are known for being cheap if they cost the same as any other car brand they would not sell outside china.

      Some cars that historically were popular because they were cheap are now legendary.
      Ford T, VW bubble (Beetle), Citroen 2CV, Morris Mascot.
      Nothing wrong with cheap, cheap makes things popular, that would otherwise be out of reach for most.

          You said you always trust Chinese companies and especially those funded by their government. I was asking why you give blind support to all of those companies, is there some track record you are going off of that shows them doing very well or something?
