I think that the success Tesla has had in building safe cars is evidence that this leap can be made fairly quickly. But the possibility doesn't imply the inevitability, and I still ultimately agree with your conclusion. I also have been hearing about Chinese cars for about 2 decades now, but I haven't yet seen a serious effort to build quality cars that are suitable for the US market.
