New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China

Fuel cell may be a viable industrial solution. To commercial or personal consumption, its psychological cost is too high. It would only take one accident inside a city center to set it all the way back. But technologically, it should be a worthy alternative until proven otherwise.
Why against Tesla?
That Tesla gets so many sales means they got something right, marketing, tech, ease-of-use etc.
If the Chinese EV are lagging behind then it is their fault for being incompetent. So the Chinese should roll their sleeves and go back to work to.improve their models. When they finally manage to beat Tesla domestically, then thats when they would be ready to go global
Toyota is now lagging in the EV market, and will probably be relegated to a second tier EV maker. It looks like toyota is becoming like Nokia, which was once a leader in cellphone, but was lagging in the smartphone market.
Xiaomi is trouncing Apple in the EV market. If xiaomi is able to use Huaiwe's Harmony OS, it will be a leader in the EV and smartphone markets.
Tesla cars are actually pretty low quality. They have so many defects and bugs and mechanical failures.
I agree with the analyst assessment that the value of Tesla sales in Europe and China will be near zero in 10 years time.
Tesla will struggle with European styling because their home market prefers ugly American styling.
And can you imagine China allowing fleets of self-driving cars controlled by the USA?
That still leaves the US, but that simply isn't enough to justify their valuation

Teslas success is more to do with Elon Musk than their vehicles. The guy has cultivated a Tony Stark image and has a cult like following across the world. People are investing in Him rather than his company per se.
I dont blame them. SpaceX is pretty incredible and it his biggest achievement to date.
Instead of the other billionaires, looking at you Jack Ma and other Chinese rich people, storing their money on the bank and doing it nothing with them, Elon invests on his dreams ans he is building innovative companies.
So these Chinese who sit and play with their money should start doing something worthwile by building innovative companies too. They are already openly mocked for trying to squeeze poor micro-sellers and not doing real R&D
