It’s coming from a biased source but some Japanese manufacturer partnered with a Chinese manufacturer and expressed concerns that the rapid design iteration late in the process could introduce long term longevity concerns.
That does sound familiar if you remember the response to jap-crap in the 1980s, but could be a legitimate concern as Chinese manufacturing has a broad range of quality standards.
That sleek software is feeding a stream of your neighbourhood and activity to the CCP, which is a bit concerning too.
Overall I’m hopeful that the Chinese auto manufacturers can shake up the industry and promote affordable EVs.
Mentioning the blatantly obvious cybersecurity concerns about Chinese EVs on the Fediverse? Prepare to get downvoted!
