minus-squareGazumi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoSadly, Tesla is far more expensive and produces demonstrably unreliable vehicles with demonstrably poor customer support when things go wrong.
minus-squareOhmsLawn@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoAre you suggesting any of these brands would be superior? I’m sorry. I never intend to own a Tesla, but buying some no-name Chinese car is far in the opposite direction of an improvement. I’m not saying I’d never buy a Chinese car. The Polestar 2 is actually a really attractive option to me, but these? No thanks.
minus-squareGazumi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoNo suggestion about superiority. I’m saying we don’t know. To us, they are not known brands and I think we’re now in the realms of your personal preferences vs what we know or don’t know
