        It’s all fake! They’re not truly selling more.

        CCP pays huge subsidies to the company to produce electric cars… Enough to cover the cost of manufacturing. They can’t sell them because there’s too many, they’re too expensive, unreliable, and unusable in many parts of the country. So the company “sells” them to fake buyers, then dumps the cars. There are thousands and thousands of new electric cars roting in rural fields in China. The scandal broke last year. Some whistle blowers provided some documented proof and a bunch of photos and videos of vast fields of new electric cars that we’d consider EPA super fund eligible sites due to the chemicals leeching from the roting cars.

            You stupid tankies and CCP apologists are insufferable. There’s literally video from last summer and several news articles with interviews with whistle blowers in China.

        They’re roting in fields in China. The story broke last year. They’re lying about actually selling the cars.

          The thing that sucks is I’d love to own one of those older NetaV since it is still far better than my Nissan leaf. The US unfortunately has regressive tariffs on vehicles… I’m really not sure what they are trying to protect here. They simply don’t build enough electric vehicles.
