    it’s good to mention those prices are only for China. In Europe, the current model after tariffs and taxes is around 36k€.

      Tariffs imposed by your own government to keep you from getting it at the cheapest price so their friends car companies can compete

        And yet that’s light af compared to the penalties foreign automakers face in China because China doesn’t want foreign cars in their country. And that was BEFORE they even knew how to make good car.

        China’s mission now is to be the only country whose manufacturers you can buy cars from eventually. When that happens, don’t expect them to stay subsidised.

        yes. they is how tariff works.

        but to be fair, the chinese government is subsidizing those cars to keep their price artificially down and take over the industry.

        they are still a better deal than most european EVs
