    Dam maybe some of the American automakers who took billions in subsidies should have built cheaper cars instead of the largest trucks possible to skirt regulations.

    I literally can’t afford an American car, i can afford a BYD tho.

      I bought a used Chevrolet Bolt '23 which is the closest I could get, they’re still relatively cheap and mine has been working great.

      I can afford neither, but if I had to save up for one it would be the BYD.

      American cars are just large, stupid and inefficient. Also the parts are very expensive here in New Zealand
