Americans Are Open To Cheap Chinese Cars. That’s ‘Scary’ For The Rest Of The Auto Industry
Americans, like most people, are open to just about anything if you hit them with enough marketing or propaganda.
You don’t need a lot of marketing to prefer a basic but decent car for a third (or less) of the price of the average American car (read: truck). American cars are bloating like crazy, and even if the tracking is insane on a chinese car, it’s no better on a domestic car. The American (and European) auto industry needs to get its act together and stop blaming consumers for not happily donating them stupid amounts of money and data
I have yet to see a single ad for a Chinese EV I am constantly seeing ads for trucks. I don’t own a truck, I highly doubt I will ever own a truck. So either I am special (very doubtful) or no amount of effort will convince me that black is white and white is black.
Now sell me a low cost EV already and not some penis compensation device that guzzles fuel.
You mean TikTok. He means TikTok.
