            @gareeb: Not that I really care, but it's funny how people that the country it's made in is relevant in political arguments- the factory mentioned in that article is still owned by Foxconn.

            Same with loads of the newer factories around Asia.

            Apple began manufacturing iPhones in India in 2017, and initially made only older or lower-budget phones. The iPhone 14 marked the first time manufacturer Foxconn started building the new model in India as it was launched globally. It will be manufacturing the iPhone 15 at a much higher speed and volume.

Like.. look up who SAIC is and see that they're not just "MG" or their own brands, but they are actually also Volkswagen/Audi group (VAG) China as well. BMW/Merc et al have Chinese manufacturing plants to sell back to their own domestic market (and sometimes export out as cheaper variants).

                      Although I must say - when I went back in December, I have seen much less overseas branding cars, but tons of EVs under brands which I've never heard of (but looks damn cool). They have charging stations everywhere including rural areas, so they are very much embraced and set for EV revolution using domestic brands.

          Because BYD isn't considered good enough in China, Chinese consumers might choose to buy brands like Li, Nio, Xiaomi SU7, or Zeekr instead of German cars if these Chinese brands are sold in Australia

          In fact, sales of German cars in China have started to decline sharply because people have discovered that the quality of many Chinese cars now surpasses that of German cars.

            @flypig: The BYD Qin L was recently proven to achieve more than 2000 km on a 65 L full tank with a fully charged battery. Does this mean that Li, Nio, or Xiaomi can achieve the same? I think many people need such a car.

              @RooBun: Fuel efficiency is just one of many metrics for evaluating cars. BYD itself is not positioned as a high-end brand, nor even a mid-range brand. Most of BYD's cars are used by Didi (China's version of Uber) for ride-hailing services. For instance, Toyota cars have much lower fuel consumption than German cars. Why doesn't anyone consider Toyota more high-end than Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Porsche?

                  In the context of the entire electric vehicle industry, BYD is certainly very competitive, and it can be seen as the Chinese version of Toyota. However, few mid-to-high-end consumers in China buy BYD

                  Additionally, the Xiaomi SU7 is outstanding not only because of its speed, but also because its handling performance is comparable to that of a Porsche

                @SitarBoy: The issue is the transition between traditional layouts and tesla ones. I would've been inclined to Teslas if they didn't make the internal controls drastically different. Plus, I am not sure if Teslas started using BYD's blade batteries, cause being able to charge to 100% with less degradation is very appealing.

                  @Inyokuchi: Both Model Y and Model 3 RWD (Standard Range) use LFP batteries. They allow you to charge to 100% every day with low degradation. I do think like all cars, there is an adjustment period.

                  Obviously with Tesla there is a lot of adjustment to do, so at first it can be a bit too much (I think they really should work on that). But most people who own the car report they get used to a lot of the differences after some time.

    Apparently my friend told me there are thousands of electric cars in the ports due to slow sales and this is probably why they are dropping prices very frequently

          People don't realize the power they have. If all people decide not to buy a specific item, then in order to sell that item (specially for items that have expiring date) they will need to drop the prices significantly.

            @Scrooge McDeal: Yeah, I'm actually glad this is happening to car manufacturers since they took advantage of us during covid.

              @easternculture: People need to get smart with their money and boycott products that took advantage of situations. There are several products deserve a boycott.

                Not against the law to behave like a capitalist in a capitalist country.

                @Scrooge McDeal: This should be happening to Woolworths and Coles with the price gauging that's still happening.

                My local Supermarket Chain (I know a manager there) told me they sell approx $1M a week and the profit is about 35%.

                  @easternculture: What about real estate, controlled by politicians so no media for it. Everything including supply chain,approvals etc is mis managed. It is such a scam and easily the biggest need that you spend most of money on.

                  • easternculture on 08/06/2024 - 09:28

                    @onegpt: Real estate is another story. It is in the best interest of the government to keep prices high by controlling the supply of land and building approvals as they make billions from stamp duty, and taxes from higher rents.

                    It's all a scam
