A lot of Americans are amazed by Chinese cars.

And many people are saying things like if these cars come to the US, US car companies would just die instantly

i saw someone say they pay only $15,000 for a car. i was shocked.

And these Americans on RedNote are statistically less likely to be able to afford Tesla EVs and more likely to resent the tariffs on Chinese EVs.

if nothing else comes from all of this, I'd love to see most Americans' viewpoint of the country's exceptionalism just shattered

Tbh, ppl from US knows nothing about the rest of the world. Just because of a social media ban now they know about something that is not about themselves, they really think they were the center of this world.

In Latin America we know this for a while and we are amazed too.

The average income per year of average chinese in China is 106,837 Yuan. Converted to USD, that is $14,604.60

Almost half the popuation in china earn less than 1,000 yuan per month. That is around $136.72

Yes, low price is the main reason

My impression of BYD is that it is cheap but of poor quality. It satisfies the dream of many families who want to own a car, so it still ranks first in sales no matter how much it is confirmed.

I just visited Shanghai in this June. Yes, EV cars in China are much cheaper. As I did not drive these cars, I cannot tell the quality but I believe Tesla is still better. If it is not, why Chinese still buy it and Tesla sold the most EV cars in China. Also, Tesla is cheaper in China but they are made in Chinese factories. So, it costs less to make Cars over there also.

Here I also want to remind my American friends. The reason why China became so successful was because Chinese worked really hard. In last couples of years, the big Chinese companies talked about 996. It meant they started their days at 9 and ends at 9. They worked for 6 days on the roll. Rome did not built in a day. In order to keep our high living standards, we do need to work very hard to make sure we leave our kids a better future.

Not to mention a lot of the Chinese cars aren’t as expensive either
