In my opinion should only be in low budget cars. No buttons, therefore you are less of a driver but more laptop operator. Look Porsche 911 2024 interior, screen is integrated as it should be and buttons which you can operate and feel directly (not voice or searching on screen) are worth a gold.

No battery guarantee, no other warranty. ridicolous. that and how Audi handles the burning cars (same as Porsche Taycan) and problems with the LG battery packs (recall, worldwide) with limited state of charge to 80% in terms of safety, will crush the whole VAG EV dreams.

it doesn't quite work that way, if a German buys a Chinese electric car for 30k eur (price after various taxes + delivery to the EU) he will just send 25/26k to China, 4-5k is left for some taxes or seller fee But if he buys a German car for 30k eur then: China will probably earn 5-7k on various required components (batteries etc. which are worth importing from China) The rest will be manufactured in the EU, such as sheet metal, other electronics, software, this is another 5-7k Now they assemble this car German machines + German workers, who for each car probably get around 1/2k eur Of course for transport around the EU again the EU will get the money, not China, here for one car it will probably also be around 2-3k eur (importing parts, and shipping cars to the world/EU) Taxes also come in along the way (again Germany/EU), adding up all what you will have to pay for one car is probably around 5k eur, then there is still a seller fee of around 1/2k eur (again it stays in Germany/EU) and the remaining profit for the German company for further development is the remaining profit of 4-6k from selling the car I probably skipped many stages, but during them the EU will earn and benefit from it, not China Of course if the car is more expensive, these numbers will be higher, more money will stay in the EU/Germany, money that will be taxed many times along the way, will support many businesses, many companies, and the taxes themselves will allow for the construction of things for public use, so no, it is not better for consumers pozdro

Thanks for the interesting topic and well-explained apples-to-apples comparison. I agree that this isn't likely to occur in any other country, but it should. Oddly, I'm pleased that the legacy brands have been caught "Flat-footed" and must employ tactics such as protectionism to slow the inevitable. It's well documented how, in the early 90's, the U.S. allowed Chevrolet to actively delay the onset of EVs to bolster its profit from ICE vehicles. Like America's big three automotive manufacturers, European brands were happy to keep polluting the environment to maintain their hold on the market. China has proven along many industry fronts that competition, not protectionism, is the key to achieving innovation competencies and dominance. Though it pains me to say it, the nascent shift amongst economies is a necessary wake-up call for the countries engaging in protectionism, whether by the term overcapacity, national security, or the claim of unfair subsidies.

I fear for the whole automotive industry. Solely because of Tesla and Chinese brands start to "revolutionize" the design of exterior and interior, it isn't the practical way of doing so. Everyone want's to have that fresh looks only to find out that it is just inpractical. The "pre-pandamic" design of the 3 series (here we already see the lack of different buttons compared to the pre LCI G20 generation BMW) is very well thought out. Not everyone wants to use a giant touchscreen in the middle of the center console though it looks more modern. Unfortunately function follows form (and the production cost cuts) these days, so in a couple of years, every car will look more or less the same...

Tbf the screen in the lci g20 is pretty damn good. Had one as a loaner for about a month and loved the infotainment(its very fast and good quality unlike a vw or some laggy shit) and personally don't mind not having physical controls for the climate controls. its easy to access and i don't change temperature on it very often anyways. also prefer the smaller gear selector. Only thing i don't like is that it looks a bit out of place - you can tell it wasn't designed originally to be a big screen (on pre lci) so it just stands on like a stander and that looks super cheap.

Nobody in China buys these cars according to the official website price tag. FYI a Volvo S90 "should" be 300k+ RMB(~39k euro) but I can get it at around 230k+ from the seller, and that was a few years ago so I reckon the difference only gets bigger due to the fierce price war. The company surely knows the situation and has to give implicit consent otherwise they can't sell shit at the price they set officially.

To be honest, I think BMW is behind in tech and just want to catch the EV band wagon. They just find a way to put batteries without using a proper EV platform. The extended wheelbase is also for them to put more batteries to it. If I were to go for EV, I will choose the Zeekr.

You can actually, there are some people specifically doing this, but without high quantities, the price will be higher than you could imagine. For example, there are plenty Chinese EVs being imported to Russia and some middle Asia countries, that makes the prices pretty comparable. But there are only small amounts exported to US by the owners, the prices goes double or even triple(before the Biden government makes it 100% taxes)
