If it manages to be a good, reliable, reasonably well built car on top of that price tag and technical achievement that'd be dope
Only time will tell if they manage it. But we've seen a ton of predictions along these lines, kind of ongoing. If China wants to compete internationally they'll have to overcome the consumer stigma around Chinese manufacturing and also make something that truly competes with the existing auto industry
But affordable, decent quality electric cars would be rad!
BYDs have already surpassed Tesla's in quality and sales in markets where there's no tariff barrier. They're not competing, they're dominating.
To be fair, surpassing Tesla in quality is a very low bar.
That's pretty cool!
