>>28612343Looks really cool>>28612349Dogshit
>>28612343>$167k Chink shitboxlmao
it is so tiring being a Chinese car guy and watching Chinese automakers make a bunch of EV slop but putting no effort into ICE
>>28612415EVs are all slop I hate it!!!!!>>28612349DO NOT WANT
>>28612415the government itself in china basically pushed all their companies into making evs with both carrot and sticknot a lot of people talk about this, but many ccp officials would send their kids to harvard or other ivy leagues, and then they'd come back and become the next generation of ccp officials, but this time they are carrying the influence of that set with themlong story short, since anti-civilizational slime occupying countries in the west were all about talking up evs (as another pretext for destroying personal transportation in particular and societal energy supply in general), amongst other things, many of these people uncritically picked up this meme themselves, and so went all in on the battery psyop at home
>>28612415It makes sense to me, since they have pretty robust public transit infrastructure for longer trips, plus more experience building consumer electronics than reliable combustion engines.
>>28612347The rear looks ok but the Polestar 2 looks better, especially the pre-facelift verison.
>>28612343If its chinese why the fuck is it the same price as the american made lucidsFuck off, fuck china. Kill yourself.
>>28612463can we subliminally influence these ivy league graduates to start making cars with late 60s and 70s designs
>>28612415Why should China, a country hugely plagued with pollution, bother with ICE? Especlally when China's electricity capabilities far exceed their oil reserves. There is only benefits for China to convert its fleet to battery. The combustion engine is done.
>>28612479Polestar 2 looks really good. Even in traffic they always make an impression. Shame Polestar is so overpriced though. Even used you won't find a P2 for less than 35k.
>>28612343>Porsche Taycan and Lucid Air: Both are selling badly.Are the Chinese retarded?
>>28612343>china has to hide behind a swedish flag to sell carsNot the best impression, it's like no one trusts them at all.
>>28612753Pretty much. At least the Lucid is backed by the kind of engineering autism that puts Tesla in their place. Volvo doesn't stand out, and Chinese ownership has led to losing a lot of trust in the brand.
>>28612343>>300 mile range>>28612343>Starts at €119,900 ($140k); Performance is €142,900 ($167k)How does this challenge the Lucid Air?Lucid Air gets over 400 miles of range and isn't even $70k brand new....why would anyone in America buy this instead of the Lucid Air?
>>28612794anon you get that there's more pollution in running heavier cars and creating the batteries and mining the lithium than in making ICE cars?
>>28612804>>28612753Now, it is a mudslime company - Saudi Arabia has a majority stake in Lucid.
