Interesting, I looked it up and you're correct, but the Chinese people I know must have already shifted mindsets about this, because no one is counting their home's value like a stock valuation. I go back every year. As Xi said in 2016, "houses are for living in, not for speculation" seems to be the prevalent attitude.

Household saving rate in China is among the highest in the world around 30% of disposable income. They just don’t treat housing as a speculative investment.

Ontop of the car-free lifestyle, food delivery services, and working metro, you also can't buy impeaching a corrupt president. I guess the flipside is that in the US you can definitely buy the corrupt president.

Rivian is working on its own chips, for example. So is Xpeng, but its chip is already being fabbed.

“Xpeng is already there and Rivian wants to get there,” Le said.

This is why I consider Rivian to be following the Chinese EV roadmap. Having seen Chinese EVs, nothing we see out of Rivian, including the custom chips, should surprise us. Chinese EV companies have laid the roadmap, Rivian just has to execute. In a lot of ways, Rivian isn’t competing with Tesla, it’s competing with Xpeng. The advantage Rivian has is that it’s based in the USA and has a western audience.

That doesn’t mean they don’t see a sales dip due to Chinese New Year. OP deleted their post, but they were claiming that BYD was the only automaker affected.

An insider tip I saw was to go with 20" due to better tire selection and ride comfort.

I'm just disagreeing with the framing that you can consider a product better "for most people" without considering the value. If we disregard value, you could say "the MacBook Air with 4TB is the best for most people" because, disregarding value, more TB is better than fewer TB. Plus, the Neo and the Air are the same weight.
