You should share what those cars are. Also, when are they planning to enter the market at large? Why haven't they done so yet? I don't doubt other major manufacturers will soon give Tesla a run for their money, but mysterious Chinese manufacturers? Certainly.

you are the one uninformed, so maybe you should do a search? there is nothing mysterious about chinese auto manufacturers, in particular the ones making electric vehicles. what do you consider the "market at large"? as someone else mentioned to you, china is the biggest electric vehicle maker and seller in the world. china is also the world's largest auto market. some of the ones that i have personal experience with are nio, geely, saic roewe, and byd. there are many, many more. i have ridden in the last three brands multiple times and saw the nio showroom cars. the three brands i rode in were very nice cars and obviously affordable since most of my rides in them were with didi drivers, china's uber. hacker news, along with many in technology in the u.s., has a huge bias against china. but this is going to catch up with the u.s. in a bad way. china is catching up, and in many cases, exceeding, the u.s. in many industries. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/electric-car-sales-china-vs-tesla https://www.wired.co.uk/article/electric-car-sales-china-vs-... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-04-23/china-s-carmakers-want-to-dominate-world-s-next-era-of-driving https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-04-23/china-s-c...

  Is this the 50 cent party? When you make claims you should provide examples to support them, it also doesn’t help that your comments come across as hostile. Both of those links talk a lot about Chinese ambition and not a lot about any cars being manufactured.
