So you're assuming the cost of living and wages are the same across all of China,
When are you going fully electric?

Like massive tariffs on Chinese cars...
The wheels are in motion but it's a tricky line to tread when some of the western brands you are trying to save sell a third of their cars in China.

Ah.. the ****master. Makes up lies about anything and everything for a click, sad, sad man. I wonder what life is life to be that utterly pathetic.

Definitely not massive tariffs otherwise we’ll just be stuck with the same situation we have now with incumbent manufacturers delaying the transition even longer.
Just something to level the playing field so that incumbents have a chance to sell EVs at competitive prices alongside Chinese offerings also at competitive prices (including tariff)

I can see him joining 30p Lee at Reform, spouting the same tinfoil nonsense and definitely has the same following.
A not insignificant number of 'Western' cars are also made in China now and imported into Europe alongside a whack ton a parts which are used in cars assembled in Europe.
Lets not forget, there are already some tariffs on made cars made in China coming into the UK (10%) and there has been for a long time, shipping fully manufactured cars from half way around the world isn't cheap either.

Mind blowing isn’t it.
well I had to resign myself to a weight increase from a 1300KG estate to a 1500KG estate with the newer audi
... funny that I can extrapolate what a 2000KG ev will feel like on the road/curve.
but everyone has to make compromises, savings on reliability/VED/insurance salve the cognitive dissonance.

Afraid to say you probably ain’t good enough driver to tell. Did you know an EV has exactly the same hardware and tune as a 1300kg ICE… oh wait. It doesn’t.
The only thing that feels heavy around here is the overwhelming level of self importance you put on “your”posts when I’ve seen your average cow regulate less…there I’ve grassed you up.
The attributes of my 2300kg ipace exceed every one of those of my 835 kg honda. So kid, wind it in, you doing nothing but vaporise the credibility of your posts. I’ll give £50 to anyone who says they have watched the last 10 videos you have linked to.
Google is not knowledge.
Indeed a 2100kg ipace will blow your mind

Do you require verification or is just saying I've watched them good enough for the £50?

Not sure yet. Surely no one is brave enough to make a claim… that would be like saying you are a Man Utd fan

Cleevly (J&K) just had 152,000 mile MoT on one of their MG5's no real issues, and shows why they are becoming so popular with taxi drivers etc. It is also little wonder that the prices have increased from earlier in the year.

You'd be mental to 'buy' new, if you want new go PCH lease, or shop the deal not the car.
I could get one on salary sacrifice, but at the minute it’s not financially viable.You'd be mental to 'buy' new, if you want new go PCH lease, or shop the deal not the car.
