The Chinese EV market is so big that it has room for something sorely lacking in the American EV market: fun. And I don’t just mean “fast,” as fun gets so often reduced to here; I mean actual fun. EVs are bringing more tech into cars than ever before, but the features in Chinese EVs seem downright futuristic. You can find cars with augmented-reality dashboards, massaging seats, in-car projector screens, refrigerators, and customizable emoji headlights.

That... does not sound fun. That sounds like a bunch of shit that I'll either use once and never touch it, or it will break quickly and I won't be able to use it.

The fact that this person thinks this is what makes cars fun raises serious doubts about their understanding of cars.

This article is most likely paid for by vested interests. Might be wise to disregard.

Was gonna say, this sounds like yet another BYD post/ad. Seems to be a lot of that in this sub.

by the way, BYD is quite conservative
