  1. MG is also successful in Europe, GWM, BYD not so much. Guessing that customers don't realize that MG is Chinese.

  2. That's strange as the EQS is pretty good in both those metrics so clearly he didn't do his homework.

  3. It's actually rational to do that from the point of view of the employee: avoid the large risk of getting fired if a big change doesn't materialize as planned. Even if the probability of failure is small if the consequence is a catastrophic loss of job you'd avoid it. Especially given that implementing such big change as switching to giga castings requires top-notch execution not only from your organization but also from the supplier. The first manufacturer and his supplier both took the risk and proved it can be done. That made it less risky for everybody else to follow. Now it's a question of leadership how they deal with employees taking risks: do they encourage it or discourage it? I'm also 99% sure that a decision like going for gigacastings was backed by Elon himself, maybe he was even pushing for it.

  4.  @alexhurley7617  Most people in China also live in apartments, not single-family homes like the US. So they don't have at-home chargers or it's not that easy to have them. I am predicting NIO will fail for that reason in the US but so far they are no longer considering to even enter the US.
