I know the US is desperate to avoid having these come into the country but what would realistically happen if I just so happened to drive one over in some remote area?
I’m sure the USA has laws about smuggling.
This and they havent been approved by the NTSB, they will seize the vehicle. Then all hell will break loose for an illegal boarder crossing getting you a 10 year ban (same as they do in Canada for US citizens) from entry.
Also BYD are poor quality and completely unsafe. On top of being a rolling spy platform for the ccp.
I would rather just the CCP have my data than a million different companies who will also let the CCP just buy it.
CCP is across an ocean too. My own government is doing much worse stuff with my data.
Also BYD are poor quality and completely unsafe
Got any sources for that?
You want sources for Tesla safety and reliability and spying?
Sounds like their Hiring Dept. still needs to finish charging…
FWIW,
ZENN (Zero Emission, No Noise) is a two-seat battery electric vehicle that was produced by the ZENN Motor Company of Canada from 2006 to 2010, designed to qualify as a neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV). It had a range of up to 40 mi (64 km) and was speed-limited to 25 mph (40 km/h).
…
Production of the ZENN LSV ceased in March 2010, and service support and provision of parts ended on June 30, 2013.[2]
…
Although the company was headquartered in Toronto and manufactured in Saint-Jérôme, north of Montreal, the vehicle was first introduced in the United States. The regulatory regime in Canada was less hospitable. Federal regulations set up by Transport Canada to approve low-speed vehicles (LSVs) for public road use excluded the ZENN and other NEVs from Canadian roads.
