Yes, I'm aware, and I'm quite happy with said phone. But it's still a real aspect of consumer perception that Chinese automakers will have to overcome
Though as others have mentioned, regulatory protectionism is likely a much bigger hurdle.
My point wasn't to say that Chinese manufacturing=bad, I was just reflecting on the fact that we see lots of articles with these sorts of predictions, and they often ignore a lot of what it would take for their predictions to come true.
What I really want is repairable, consumer friendly electric cars, but cheaper more accessible electric cars would be a really big win too, regardless of whether they're manufactured in china.
