#2Those don't look too safe. I can't imagine you'd survive being hit by anything bigger than a mini in any of those boxes. Of course people are buying unsafe alternatives for a fraction of a price...
disclaimer: not a tesla fanboy... I don't think they have the right hardware for FSD and that Musk is a bit too wrongheaded to admit that.

#3People will soon learn product is only half the story. What about service and support? Good luck getting it from these cheap Chinese companies that don’t give a fuck about you and probably go out of business in a few years anyway.
I mean look at this, one company is literally called Shitou Cars. Shit-on-you Cars!

This rings a bit hollow given how notably poor Tesla’s customer service is.

#6These vehicles are more like golf carts than cars. Top speed of 56km/hr. No safety features. What is interesting is that the batteries, converters, and motors are so cheap that they offer a golf cart with a vehicle body for $2500.

They don't go that fast. If auto manufacturers designed cars that would go max ~25 mph, the safety concerns are completely different and much less. A Tesla is WAY overbuilt for going 25 mph.

Think of these as replacement for Motorcycle and cycle. As safe with some added convenience.

The alternative is usually a motorcycle, and they look a bit safer, though not as fun.

#10Given that many of these only have three wheels and to my knowledge regulation on “cars” only applies if the vehicle has four wheels- I wonder why these aren’t available in the USA at the same time.
