This just turned up on my tiktok for you page

Chinese EV, I thought they'd be about £90 not 33k

It looks like a cayenne sh@gged a mini

What we're they thinking, it's hideous, if it were half that which is what I thought the Chinese would do maybe

The MG4 looks fantastic compared to the funky cat and starts at 26k

Tesla were always going to be on a slippery slope once the 'mainstream' car companies got on the EV bandwagon.
Most of the last hedge funds have short positions on Tesla at the moment, for good reason.

Tesla's shocking build quality doesn't help them either.

Don’t Tesla just want to become a supplier of batteries-battery tech in the end, and not actually produce cars? Sure I read that somewhere.

Basically the Chinese will end up being the only manufacturer of EV’s over time by undercutting everyone else and monopolising all the resources to make them.

Again misleading journalism, my company car tesla was £53,940 in July 2020 but had a £3.5k government grant so actually £50,440,
the same spec car today after the price cut is £53,590.
Not so much a huge price cut but more a price reset.

I'd still not spend my own money on one though but as a company daily with free electric hook up at work I'd have been silly not to.

Electric car for the thinking man, V8 petrol for the soul, but room for both on the road.

Taxpayers are paying for the 1% BIK EV bonus though, without it I doubt tesla would've sold a car n the UK and now the sub 4s Kia EV is available that'll hit sales further.

Yes, this tax payer is paying 1% first year then 2% following years directly to the government, if I had declined the company car that's 2% the government wouldn't be receiving
