    $10000 for a new car would be a top seller anywhere

    Nah, the customer doesn’t want a full BEV…

    It’s a 140 mile (my real world estimate) vehicle with a 0-60 mph time of 13 sec. It stands to see what homologation would do to it, but this is a pretty decent practical vehicle.

    I have this vehicle in Costa Rica. I’ve loved it so far. I’d prefer the BYD Tang… but my wallet said get the Seagull

    This is great to hear just in the perspective of a potential buyer, that since there are a lot of unit being sold, i would assume that spare parts would be more available if/when issues arise

    and i know these are Chinese sales but surely if the car was not of good quality even their local buyers would have gone with other cars in the same or lower price range

    Worth noting that in China if you travel any distance above 50 miles, you take the high speed train instead of driving. For example, an 800 mile travel from Beijing to Shanghai by train takes 4 hours 15 minutes and costs $90. No cars even EVs can match that speed and price compared to the train.

    This would be the perfect car to buy your kid.

    To add to that, the car sold 46,830 units in China last month, which is the highest-selling model of any car (including the fuel guzzler).
