I really don't see how it could be any worse than US manufacturers. Every person I've ever known with a domestic has that shit in the shop for mechanical work at least once or twice a year. I would gladly gamble on a Chinese EV over any US made vehicle any day of the week. US manufacturers would try to cut corners off a circle.
Not to mention all the shit they pull to make it difficult to work on yourself at home. Proprietary software to reset codes, oil changes require specialized equipment, comber some processes to do simple work, parts are difficult to find, parts are more likely to fail sooner, and now pay walls are getting setup. At least they've made 80 month loans available so people can "afford" them now.
