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.
Tesla is also heavily subsidized. So was the VW Beetle.
Can you tell me why?
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?
Ah, by the looks of how many people downvoted you there I think it must have been missed. I wanted to be sure so I figured it best to just inquire and find out if there was something I was out of the loop on.
Yeah I made a joke yesterday about Bezos and Metaverae getting integrated into government processes like the DMV and the first 2 ticks were down, I was like oh boy, here we go haha
