If this can’t compete head to head (no tariffs or other import restrictions) with BYD and the like, then I don’t know why one would get excited. Feels like an expensive consolation prize with tons of compromises. I want competition.

It's a pickup for US market because it has no plans to remotely compete with BYD.

I think most Americans would go for a 15k Toyota Hilux Champ with similar design ethos, but chickentax.

I would buy 3 at that price, good grief.
