I think the problem here may not be that the car itself is a bad performer or not competitive enough (setting aside the goofy name), but that price point is a tough sell for an unknown/new brand or model especially considering how many established rivals there are out there. I know if I had that kind of cash and was looking for this type of vehicle, I wouldn't seriously be considering this regardless of the specs. For those with wealth-a-plenty who may want to experiment, the opportunity cost would be completely different than for someone like me.

If China ever becomes a democratic society that doesn't persecute people with views and opinions different from the Communist Party's, and let the people vote for who they want, ....... then MAYBE. And the name has got to change too, Lol. To answer the question: F NO.

This is the latest update. It is an interesting approach, but still not something I would consider.

Soo first they took away the exhaust because it’s too loud, then they took away the engine because it pollutes too much, and now they’ve taken away the driving... What’s the point of this thing then?

I'm sure you can source parts on Temu.

I agree. Maybe when all else is removed, you are stuck with a Yangwang?
