My main concern with Chinese EVs is the get rekt kill swich that I'm pretty sure they have somewhere. If Western countries end up in a war agaisnt China, military of otherwhise, I don't want my car to be briked with some over-the-air software upgrade.
A few years ago I thought a possible conflict will be a pain in the ass to deal with if you had the need for repairs, but after seeing John Deere briking tractors in Russia I decided I don't want to deal with that kind of risk.
