Looks like the average Euro EV is ~44k and the dolphin comes in under 30k, under 25k in UK....

It definitely doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but it's a shit ton cheaper.

The people writing reviews for brand new cars have a target demographic: people that routinely buy new cars.

The majority of people won't have the same priorities, especially these days.

The problem with auto reviews is that they are all advertising. They never mention reliability as a concern. Australia killed off local GM and Ford production and they brought in Chinese EVs two years ago. Consensus already is that they don't last.

BYD's biggest advantage is the government subsidies it gets from China. In the EU, they get tariffed to protect local automotive companies from unfair competition (I.e nation-state supported automotive companies that can literally sell their cars at a loss). Thus, BYD loses its appeal.

They usually compare it to cars of a similar size, instead of similar price. and yeah, when you're buying a car of the same size that's 5k cheaper, you're getting less car.

Don't most them don't have a mechanical way to open the door? Like if the battery dies or there is a software glitch you legit can't open the fucking door. Ppl have literally died cause their shit ass doors only unlock electrically.

Comfortable is subjective. Model Y suspension was certainly crashy when I rented one for half an hour for the lulz

now everyones reporting issues with the regular cars to, that they dint do it for years?

I did not. Not the cockpit. I'm sure it's bad as well. For me any touch control in the car is bad news.

And with a virtual assistant.
