Yeah how do you think it's the cheapest? They have the most clever engineering methods or something?

Your comment reads super racist, implying that for some reason China can't possibly have more clever engineering methods. As a matter of fact it does have said methods. The latest technology in battery manufacturing comes from china, and they have the most mature EV industry in the world.

That was not what they said. You sound like a shill

How is this not racistly dismissive of the possibilities of Chinese manufacturing (China being the most industrially productive country in the planet)

The batteries are good, we can buy the batteries not the whole car.

The cars themselves are built to be a locally sourced and consumed commodity. They don't have the certification to sell in NA. The whole car being cheaper is a reflection of all these things.

Instead of cheap, I could have said less expensive.
