Until they’re testing and pass NHTSA standards, fuckin nope.
Maybe people will change their minds once they see the aftermath of high speed crashes in these things. Or crashes with a MUCH heavier vehicle. With the weight of EVs these days you NEED a car that’s designed around safety.
According to Euro NCAP all Chinese cars from 2022–2024 got the 5 star safety rating. While many non Chinese models got 4 stars.
