BYD, knew it was too good to be true. We just can't have nice things...

Glad I bought a Volvo. Less efficient and less mileage, but it's built in my country and with European values, proper compensation and unionized workers.

It's probably worth pointing out that Volvo is owned by Geely.

I know this, but the model I bought was built in my country. And the next model I plan to buy is also manufactured here. No cheap Chinese shit like that EX30.

Reminds me of Tesla also doing a lot of questionable things at their plants
