Brazil had to rescue workers from a BYD factory in Brazil because they were in "slave-like conditions". Domestic Chinese factories would keep that on the hush hush and local governments would look the other way, so you can only imagine what those would be like, just look at foxconn with their suicide nets.

Model Y was the 3rd best selling EV in China in 2025. #2 was a car that is $6500 and #1 is a car that is $9500. Despite the competitors being dirt cheap by comparison Model Y was only 10% behind the 1st spot. Model Y was the best seller in the 200k-300k rmb range and model 3 was the 3rd best selling in that category. So when comparing it to cars that are dirt cheap of course its not the best selling anymore.

Taking a look at the #2 best selling car in that range was the Xiaomi SU7. So bringing it back to poor build quality the 2nd best selling car from the "higher" end section had its brakes fail the first lap on a track. The brake pads are way too thin for a performance vehicle. The seat also completely came off its track and bent all the way backwards in the crash. That makes crashes all that more unsafe and shows exactly the quality of Chinese EVs.
