    Speaking as an American, we’re not buying these either

    Edit to add: wow that finish looks like shit with just a small amount of road grime on it

      Got a BYD Dolphin in UK, it’s been perfect so far after a year. They are bringing a super cheap one here too, I hope it does well and keeps taking funds out of Elons pocket.

    Look how badly the fitment is at that corner near the window and hood. That’s waaay off.

        “Elons comedy fall apart cars” actually made me laugh out loud. That’s what I’m going to refer to them as from now on.

      Well, there’s a windshield wiper, it needs a zip tie to keep its shoddy panel secured, and unlike other vehicles it’s made of steel that can’t get wet. That’s how you know it’s a Swasticar.

      Trim piece that is held on by glue, if it fails - panel falls off. Which is suboptimal, as it’s a long steel piece

        Unfortunately a bad glass table, as the glass sheet sits on a slope.

        You could remove the top panels and put them on a flat frame to make a large functional table, though.

        Then you can strip the rest of it down to a powered trolly to use in industry until it burns up, or just recycle the parts.
