Hi Folks,
This week I and my EV boffins have been taking a look at what is happening with EV production in China and the ability of Chinese producers to turn prototypes to production cars and cars which are sold on the international market.
It was with much surprise that we found over 100 Chinese EV related firms which were very active and relatively very successful on the local Chinese market have all gone down siting Tesla's success in China as the number one cause of their demise. On the international scene, they have described competing with Tesla as futile.
All said and done it seems that Chinese projections are that Tesla will take over the Chinese EV market as the largest producer in China in 3 to 5years and that it will take local Chinese companies up to 10 or 15 years to compete.
What do members think about this.
What are the vibes out in there.......
Do you think MG stands a chance?
It is funny as some of SAIC/MG collaborators seem poised to work with Tesla on their long range/high battery capacity/affordable concepts and do not seem happy to work with MG on similar projects.
What do you think?
I am told MG ZS EV is doing very poorly in China. Is this True?
A Chinese guy told me that on most days one can walk into a Dealership and drive out with an MG in China but most Chinese would rather wait for over 12 months on a Tesla waiting list than buy the MG ZS EV. Just can not believe that!!!!
Apparently even among the low income earners who hardly are able to afford a car in China, given the option they will all go for a Tesla. Not really sure why this is so.
Is the ZS EV that inferior?
Some analysts seem to think the heat is on MG in regards to Tesla's never ending success and hence MG may curtail EV activity till they are sure it is commercially viable to compete with Tesla. What do you think?
