Chinese cars are so far ahead of the rest of the world and most people have no idea it even happened. People take time to update their mental models of the world but it will happen.
In July we flew via Kuala Lumpur. They had a special service of BMW i7s to transfer between terminals which we took. It was nice. But I’ve since seen 10 cars in #Vietnam that were nicer, all from China (Vietnamese cars aren’t there yet).
It takes time for preferences to change but Germany is already dead, as is the rest of Europe bar supercars, and the US won’t be far behind. Japan might survive with Toyota, Worst Korea is 50/50.
China is going to eat all their lunches unless protectionism makes the biggest comeback of all time and even then, you’ll likely pay more to get the Chinese car if you can and are shopping for bang-for-buck because they’re just miles ahead of Western car tech.
