      I mean, it’s because they are cheap and decent. But I guess it’s impressive since other car makers have failed to do the same thing.

      Where I live, electric cars are much more expensive than fuel cars. We do have these Chinese low cost cars too though but they are probably not great for winter. I don’t trust things not to break.

      It’s like Teslas, also not known for their quality, despite their high price.

      If it’s one thing I want to have good quality, it’s my car, since my life can depend on it.

          We have evidence now, but I could have told you this years ago. Cheap products have been the product of environmental and human rights abuses for a long, long time.

            Oh, I’m well aware of that. The part that grabbed my attention is that it appeared these were migrant workers brought in to Brazil.

            Essentially the cheap Chinese factories are diversifying where they are located, but not how they staff them.
