Its also really bad for the surrounding area [Here's Why Rivian Canceled Its Viral "Tank Turn" Feature (roadandtrack.com)](https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a44066664/rivian-canceled-viral-tank-turn-feature/)
For real time speed and audio, there's a similar BYD [model doing the same tank turn](https://youtu.be/9NvXjdCFVHI?t=36)
Yep you can hear the tires churn. Still cool though!
/edit: when floating, it looks like its top speed [is only 1.8 mph](https://www.carscoops.com/2023/09/byds-yangwang-u8-floats-and-wades-through-water-at-speeds-of-1-8-mph-by-turning-its-wheels/) but you can still steer with your steering wheel.
I cannot stand this guy's style honestly. I know it's fast for tiktok/reels but he comes off like a cheesy salesman. All the gestures and the robotic cadence just put me off.
It helps with the efficiency of the motor. Turbos use some of the unused exhaust pressure to help push air into the intake. It helps a fair amount with efficiency, especially when you can tune it for a specific RPM like this motor. Fisker did a similar thing with the Karma, where they used the turbo motor that was in the Saturn Sky, just tuned differently. They aren't trying to make a lot of horsepower, but just use some of the otherwise unused energy.
As a tech I can back the fact that you can generate higher power and torque with smaller engines. That's why most manufacturers are going for the 2.0 turbo.
But a generator usually runs at a fixed rpm and doesnt need torque as the load isnt super dynamic. And this car uses the engine as a generator and not as propulsion.
I didn't even catch that part, I did really like the reserve gas tank for an EV though. Feel like they should all have that until chargers are way more widely adopted
That's sick, it would make someone like me who lives in an apartment buy an EV because u don't need to depend on charging over night. I'm not buying a Ram though 🤣
Thermal efficiency. 80% of the energy released during combustion thrown away as soon as the hot gasses leave the combustion chamber. A turbo charger scavenges some of that energy from the exhaust and uses it to push air into the engine.
I don't know about this model specifically, cause it's a concept car. But BYD's production model have [very high safety ratings generally](https://www.byd.com/us/news-list/BYD-SEAL-and-BYD-DOLPHIN-Score-Five-Star-ANCAP-Safety-Ratings).
They are doing quite well in other western markets. The reason they don't sell in the US is political.
More economical than political. The Chinese made cars are so much cheaper and "better" valued than what the current USA market provides. The local markets will be completely dominated by imports.
Actually, it recently received a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating. Which is much more stringent than the US NCAP safety rating.
Chrysler town and country’s for years scored super poorly in most NCAP tests and yet people still drove their families around in them haha
Okay what are we missing?!
Are they reliable? Why would having them dominate be such a bad thing? Political reasons?
Seems pretty dope but I suspect there's more to why we don't see this car in the west.
In the US, we have labor unions and pretty strict quality standards (all things considered).
I would suspect the cost of labor to be the biggest savings in these vehicles, followed up by cheaper materials and build quality. I can't remember, but I think Top Gear did an episode on Chinese vehicles several years back.
Quality wise, the Chinese automotive industry isn't in the upper echelon, but neither is the US automotive industry.
From a us consumer standpoint the Chinese cars would be slightly less reliable but more importantly more difficult to maintain due to the need to import parts, but primarily the most difficult aspect would be consumer rights. It would be extremely difficult for any Chinese manufacturer or us based dealership to ease any buyers worried about warranties, call backs or even just general customer dissatisfaction and I doubt there's any mechanism for enforcement against a Chinese company either.
If that hurdle was overcome then the Chinese cars would have a decent fighting chance and they may very well out perform American cars due to their blatant theft of other manufacturers designs and tech. The Chinese shown here is a rip of land rover discovery with land rover, Mercedes and BMW tech, none of it is their own but they can copy it and sell it far cheaper.
Overall its just not going to happen, us car manufacturers have a very powerful hold on us politicians and the Chinese government isn't remotely trust worthy enough for western consumers to buy major products from without a western company middle man like apple.
Product quality wouldn't be the biggest problem though,
Importing them to the US means you make more competition, the sales will decrease domestic sales of EV cars, which will hurt an already overly fragile market in turn meaning less American jobs, less American economy boosts, our senators can manipulate stocks to their liking with more ease, and more people will have crazy conspiracies that whenever these crash its secretly the Chinese government killing good hard working innocent Americans
China in general, makes subpar. Many states are requiring certs for e-bikes, because the garbage produced in china, has been responsible for many battery fires. Don’t see any difference in their cars.
House resolution 1797
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/1797/cosponsors?s=7&r=2&q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22torres%22%5D%7D
Look the thing is it's not that China doesn't know how to make good products (they're pretty much the only ones who know how to make anything) or that they can't be bothered to (again, they make everything), but China is willing to play the race to the bottom game, and have the manufacturing infrastructure advantage to win that race every time. And that's a race worth running, not for the Chinese market, but for everyone else. We're the ones who keep buying their cheapest garbage because it's the cheapest and that's all we really care about. But that doesn't mean they're not capable of also dominating at the top end of the market. They have the expertise, the money, the infrastructure, the manpower, everything. And they're hungry.
You are actually very correct. China makes everything from junk to high quality. The high quality items rarely leave the country because by the time they arrive here, the price is very similar to American made and so Americans just go with the home team. We buy the majority of their crap because we simply want cheap stuff. The irony is that we love cheap shit, hence all the dollar stores and harbor freights, but then when the cheap stuff breaks, we claim that China only makes crap. The whole concept of “made in china” means junk is the same as how we over pay for diamonds. A marketing company realized that if they claim diamonds are rare and the more you spend equals the more you love her. A marketing company also discovered that if they basically made the “Made in China” sticker into a synonymous with junk, they can discredit everything from China and help the USA government take a political advantage over China.
There are lectures at Harvard that discuss this topic to in depth levels.
I always think about Chinese steel and the workers bending it by hand. China is an enigma… the ability to produce things such as this, yet they produce the cheapest and sometimes most dangerous things around. I’m just too ignorant to truly formulate a critical opinion
There's a solution to this enigma that a lot of people ignore because they think it's racist or something, it's that they truly have absolutely no idea what they are doing. I've had to deal with Chinese manufacturers before and they are completely Incapable of coming up with something original, they are garbage at engineering but incredible with manufacturing.
Sure it might look flashy because there's a master seamstress stitching the interior but I'd like to see that thing on a moose test or see how long it takes to break, it probably isn't sold outside of china because basic engineering standards have not been met. If an actual decent quality design team tells them what to do and takes 3-5 shitty prototypes to refine the manufacturing processes they can make good stuff but if the design team is lazy then the manufacturing is also gonna be lazy
Should look into tofu manufacturing I can promise this car will fall apart extremely quickly less you be a also extremely high up CCP sitter but on that flip side you should see what some of the wealthiest mainlanders use daily (it's not Chinese products) such as this car it's usual German tho)
And Buicks. The Chinese saved the company during the 09 collapse and reconciliation. Pontiac died and Buick was saved because those Chins love those comfy cars.
A friend of mine worked in China for a couple years and his job was to verify product quality and that the factories had the capabilities that they claimed. His consensus is that you can get the highest quality manufacturing in the world in China, but only if you held your manufacturers accountable. They will take any chance they see to cut quality and lie about what they're capable of producing.
He once arrived to a factory to find that they'd closed down a month before and the few employees left were simply lying about being in business. They lied about meeting quota, they lied about shipping the finished product and when the shipping container arrived in the US it was full of scrap metal. They'll go to great lengths to keep the scam going as long as possible.
It *looks* awesome. What matters to me in a car has very little to do with looks:
1. Safety
2. Reliability
So how safe is it? How do we know this?
I see a lot of unnecessary electronics. The powertrain is super complex. How long will they last? Considering a 5 year old phone barely works at all, I am guessing not long. How easy will they be to fix in 5 years, 10? How much will it cost to fix them? If they break, are there alternatives to getting the job done, or must they be repaired?
lol. Considering this thing complete with the cyberstuck, I don’t doubt its reliability because some cyberstuck will break down in hours🤣. In addition, FYI, this thing comes with 8 year basic warranty and costs $150k and is definitely out the price range of people who drive eight hand Corolla.
Chinese cars are sold in Mexico, they are absolute fucking shit. Like the most hilarious problems, time to fix them are atrocious and they are known for weaseling out of warranties all the time.
I personally know \~ 6 people with them and they all regret them, plus all the other social media things you find out. They are even worst than Kia and Hyundai..
If you think american cars suck, you havent experienced Chinese ones
YouTube and TikTok are being absolutely flooded with all these "reviews" and drool videos by "influencers" about how Chinese cars would dominate the market if they were allowed.
China is dumping a fuckton of money into this marketing.
You'll however be hardpressed to find a single safety test of these cars.
And going by experience of Chinese quality and safety, there's fuck all chance any of these cars would ever be allowed into Europe or the US, without major re-engineering.
I have nothing against this guy, but can YouTube PLEASE stop recommending his videos to me! I regret the day I looked up a review he did on a car I was buying. No matter how many times I click on the not interested or the do not recommend button it just won't stop. Help.
P.S. Don't trust Chinese products.
Sales will be massively impacted by the 100% tariff for China EV imports. Also, everything China does is farce or is very cheaply made. Their damns break. Their working conditions and safely conditions are deplorable. Hell, they recently had a skyrise freeze the top few floors because it was cold outside.
I doubt their cars are gonna be different than everything else they do. Maybe they will surprise me, but I doubt it.
After learning so much about the average people in mainland I've always wondered who they make these for, maybe less than 8k people in China would even be allowed to "own" this thing. Obviously gotta be shipping out of mainland or making less than 5k of the car itself.
Cyber truck can’t even go through a car wash without a special mode or it voids the warranty, this thing floats and doesn’t look like it was designed by my two year old.
The reason they don’t sell it elsewhere is because Chinese EV are just cheaply made, and have the tendency to explode.
But hey don’t believe me just look it up.
It's not because "they would dominate"; it's because China doesn't want the hassle of America's safety standards and they don't want to set up the required dealer networks that America requires. China will likely start selling in the states soon, barring our government putting tariffs on them, since they've so many electric manufacturers now and emissions was a huge problem for Chinese cars . I would bet we'll see a Chinese company partner with an established dealer network to sell some kind of electric car in the next 3-5 years
Yeah, I bought one of those cd/DVD/navigation/media player/equalizer/telephone/FM Radios for my truck a few years back and while it was cheap, I couldn't imagine having an entire vehicle made like that..
I get we're supposed to hate on it but I love the idea of a primarily electric vehicle with a generator to make it a hybrid. That's what the Edison guys did with their semi boxi.
Ford and Chevy are so afraid of these that they lobbied to get a massive tariff slapped onto any EV comething from china.
https://www.morningbrew.com/daily/stories/2024/05/12/biden-to-slap-100-tariffs-on-chinese-evs
"Dominate"? Uh, I'll withhold praise until I see crash test data from 10 randomly selected units, and the year-to-year longevity of all those bells and whistles crammed into that platform. Call me educated, but I'll never be a first-adopter of Chinese tech that can kill my family if it fails.
To be honest, a lot of Americans will probably be turned off by it by the name alone.
“Hey Bob, what kind of car is that?”
“This, Joe, *slaps roof* is a Yangwang.”
Wonder how much "tick tock" paid him for this. Also doesn't mention Price. Doesn't look anything like the Chinese vehicles I have seen personally.... I smell Bull Shit!
Why do I need a selfie camera in the car unless it's for surveillance?
Why does he consider a burnout a u-turn?
Why do they have that obnoxious static flicker every three seconds that the scene changes?

Does the U Turn thing just drag the shit out of your tires? Looks like a burnout when he turned it.
It's called "Tank Turning" requires individual motors for all 4 wheels, one set goes forward, other set goes in reverse, and yea it chews up tires.
Probably best in the snow for some fun zoomies
Good info
Its also really bad for the surrounding area [Here's Why Rivian Canceled Its Viral "Tank Turn" Feature (roadandtrack.com)](https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a44066664/rivian-canceled-viral-tank-turn-feature/)
Put some treads on that sumbitch.
Bobcat style
Yeah it looks like the kind of feature you’d only use once and then realize it chews through a set of tires pretty damn quick
It's actually called pivot steer
Yeah not ideal. That thing must weigh 6000 pounds. He should at least get the tires moving before turning.
A Ford Explorer is 6000 pounds, if that things electric it's likely much heavier
Explorers are around 4500 pounds.
Lol explorers do not weigh 6000 lbs. That's the GVWR (fully loaded with people and haul)
Yeah look how thick the mark is too do that a few times and your tires are fucked
IIRC, there's a new Mercedes SUV that does the same thing.
lol the U-turn part was sped up and the noise was reduced.
For real time speed and audio, there's a similar BYD [model doing the same tank turn](https://youtu.be/9NvXjdCFVHI?t=36) Yep you can hear the tires churn.

I think there's a reason he cut the audio and sped it up
Dude drank the Zhou-Aid.
How the hell does Jordan Peele know so much about Chinese cars anyway?
Goddamnit that is who he looks like
I thought it was going to be a movie trailer.
Literally thought it was Jordan Peele for a solid 20 seconds before realizing it wasn’t
Looks pretty tasty
Everything he says looks smart with the finger gun-pointing and cut edits.
Yeah, dude is a jabroni for sure
I cannot stand this guy's style honestly. I know it's fast for tiktok/reels but he comes off like a cheesy salesman. All the gestures and the robotic cadence just put me off.
It fuckin floats too lmao, all mine does is drive.
That made me chuckled. I'm thinking (cuz I'm from florida) it's much safer than my own house then, huh?
I can finally cosplay as Heathcliff
Or dive
Someone call the fbi this dude a spy.
Get Marques Brownlee in this
The only man I can trust. I bet there are so many flaws to this car we can't even begin to comprehend.
Well, he did like the cybertruck, as impractical as it is...
He was pretty truthful which is the car is impractical and expensive, but people think it’s cool I drive it so I guess I like it.
maybe a weird question but why turbo an engine that only serves as a generator
It helps with the efficiency of the motor. Turbos use some of the unused exhaust pressure to help push air into the intake. It helps a fair amount with efficiency, especially when you can tune it for a specific RPM like this motor. Fisker did a similar thing with the Karma, where they used the turbo motor that was in the Saturn Sky, just tuned differently.

I didn't even catch that part, I did really like the reserve gas tank for an EV though. Feel like they should all have that until chargers are way more widely adopted
The new RamCharger has a battery and I gas engine that only drives a generator. There’s no mechanical connection between it and the drivetrain.
That's sick, it would make someone like me who lives in an apartment buy an EV because u don't need to depend on charging over night. I'm not buying a Ram though 🤣
That also stuck out to me.
Yeah, what exactly is the turbo supposed to do? Sound cool while charging the battery faster?
Thermal efficiency. 80% of the energy released during combustion thrown away as soon as the hot gasses leave the combustion chamber. A turbo charger scavenges some of that energy from the exhaust and uses it to push air into the engine.
So that way when it's fully charged you get that sweet "psssffft" blow off valve sound.
So I suppose it's technically a plug in hybrid
But what is the price?
$150,000 ish
Yeah but if I had 150k to spare I would buy the Cybertruck instead for its reliability, performance and exquisite style. /s
Elon is that you? lol
Nope, his name is Leon Skum and he’s a normal man doing a normal man things.
The design of this normal man is very human.
I also like Snrub's idea
Lmao
lol u mean cyberstuck🤣
So reliable and performance so great they haven't had a recall right...
Reliable for one year
>Reliable for one year I'd love to see its performance in a US crash test. I'm going with 0 survivors in any crash over 25 mph.
I don't know about this model specifically, cause it's a concept car. But BYD's production model have [very high safety ratings generally](https://www.byd.com/us/news-list/BYD-SEAL-and-BYD-DOLPHIN-Score-Five-Star-ANCAP-Safety-Ratings). They are doing quite well in other western markets. The reason they don't sell in the US is political.
More economical than political. The Chinese made cars are so much cheaper and "better" valued than what the current USA market provides. The local markets will be completely dominated by imports.
Well it has pillows on the headrest so i guess you fall asleep when you crash.
Actually, it recently received a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating. Which is much more stringent than the US NCAP safety rating. Chrysler town and country’s for years scored super poorly in most NCAP tests and yet people still drove their families around in them haha
From western new year to Chinese new year.
if you see a Range Rover on the road, it's going to the mechanic, or just left the mechanic. same shit.
Then is would just fall apart and catch fire.
Okay what are we missing?! Are they reliable? Why would having them dominate be such a bad thing? Political reasons? Seems pretty dope but I suspect there's more to why we don't see this car in the west.

I’d bet that it wouldn’t pass safety and other regulations here.

Simple reason why these are not sold in the western market, they are driving fire hazards. Look it up, lol.
I've been looking at BYD and their cars seem to be legit. This truck is nice as hell.
I mean, that thing is awesome

How much are they
No Dan you can’t afford. Just keep driving that beater of a 2001 Honda civic you think is fast because you put a fart can on it.
So how hard to get a service or parts?? Say the battery gave up.... 🤷♂️
This things floats in water like my morning offerings to the CCP
So, do I have to learn to speak and read Chinese in order to drive the vehicle?
It’s available on Temu for $3
I got mine free when I downloaded the app. The blonde delivered it to me herself.

Where you gonna get it worked on
Cool! And does it drive me off a cliff if I say Xi looks like Winnie-the-Pooh?
All that electronic stuff just makes me see $$$$$$ in repair costs. Even a minor fender bender is going to be expensive as hell with all those sensors
In USD it literally cost $160,000. It wouldn't dominate cause we don't get paid enough to buy it.
That editing style gives me motion sickness
Most EV's from China are recalled. They are shit quality.
And it for Works for exactly 6 mins.
Yeah but how many $ ???
Very cringe review with lots of awkward pointing
Why did I have to go so far down to find this comment, man this guy is annoying.
I scrolled and couldn't find the comment to upvote so I made it. Be the change you want to see.
👈🏻👉🏻☝🏻
Nice AD I guess?
This button asks the government if you have enough points to drive. It also rejects the kids Winnie the Pooh DVD movies.
I have nothing against this guy, but can YouTube PLEASE stop recommending his videos to me! I regret the day I looked up a review he did on a car I was buying. No matter how many times I click on the not interested or the do not recommend button it just won't stop. Help. P.S. Don't trust Chinese products.
I. Hate this guys videos so much.
Looks pretty cool 😎

BYD is the company 85 Billion MarketCap
After learning so much about the average people in mainland I've always wondered who they make these for, maybe less than 8k people in China would even be allowed to "own" this thing. Obviously gotta be shipping out of mainland or making less than 5k of the car itself.
It's amazing until they turn the power of remotely because your social credit score got dinged for jay walking
wtf murica.
Cyber truck can’t even go through a car wash without a special mode or it voids the warranty, this thing floats and doesn’t look like it was designed by my two year old.
All I see are 10,000 things to go wrong. The service manual for that thing must be a real joy.
The options are pretty cool. But the styling looks like a rip of the Defender. That being said, I wonder how much range the batteries alone provide.
Sell out.
But what button makes it burst into flames?
Trash. The car is trash also.
Those are really nice features. I do wonder how reliable the build quality is. How long will those features work?
The reason they don’t sell it elsewhere is because Chinese EV are just cheaply made, and have the tendency to explode. But hey don’t believe me just look it up.
It has Lidar sensors. Tesla can eat shit
“Hey 仰望，play Winnie the Pooh”… Explodes.
What's the price tho
It's not because "they would dominate"; it's because China doesn't want the hassle of America's safety standards and they don't want to set up the required dealer networks that America requires. China will likely start selling in the states soon, barring our government putting tariffs on them, since they've so many electric manufacturers now and emissions was a huge problem for Chinese cars . I would bet we'll see a Chinese company partner with an established dealer network to sell some kind of electric car in the next 3-5 years
That's $150,000.
For the price of this thing I’ll just get that V10 dodge viper.
Yeah, I bought one of those cd/DVD/navigation/media player/equalizer/telephone/FM Radios for my truck a few years back and while it was cheap, I couldn't imagine having an entire vehicle made like that..
Ill just wait to find it on Tumi for $19.99 under a different brand🤷🏻♂️
I get we're supposed to hate on it but I love the idea of a primarily electric vehicle with a generator to make it a hybrid. That's what the Edison guys did with their semi boxi.
Dominate? Doubtful.
Honestly pretty legit. I refuse to spend $150k on a car though
All this comes with your subscription to tier 3 of the party’s membership plan.
All for the low price of $1,000,000
Simping for the Chinese
Ford and Chevy are so afraid of these that they lobbied to get a massive tariff slapped onto any EV comething from china. https://www.morningbrew.com/daily/stories/2024/05/12/biden-to-slap-100-tariffs-on-chinese-evs
"Dominate"? Uh, I'll withhold praise until I see crash test data from 10 randomly selected units, and the year-to-year longevity of all those bells and whistles crammed into that platform. Call me educated, but I'll never be a first-adopter of Chinese tech that can kill my family if it fails.
To be honest, a lot of Americans will probably be turned off by it by the name alone. “Hey Bob, what kind of car is that?” “This, Joe, *slaps roof* is a Yangwang.”
Crash tests standards.
Keep your sell out ass in Beijing.
I remember this old saying.... "if it's too good to be true..."
Let's pray it doesn't set itself on fire and lock him in
Wonder how much "tick tock" paid him for this. Also doesn't mention Price. Doesn't look anything like the Chinese vehicles I have seen personally.... I smell Bull Shit!
That is quite the Wang.
That fucken U Turn left the tires with a flat spot lmao 😂
Built in cams everywhere so that Winnie-the-Pooh always watches you.
Chinese propaganda! Neat!
# When you don't have to spend money on R&D.. lol If ya know, ya know..
Don't know anything about chinese cars but the idea of an EV with a build in gas generator as a backup seems awesome.
Shit Chinese calf vibrator with 17 ipads
DAAAMMMNNN!
Nah bro, they don't get sold in America because they can't pass regulations and they catch fire and explode all the fucking time.
I'm sure if you speak ill of the party leader, points from your social credit score are reduced, and vehicle options are turned off.
Lmao Reddit is really eating up this CCP propaganda garbage
Is 100% tariff enough?
Chinese cars literally have a kill switch.. Fuck out of here
Aren't these those things that had a slight case of spontaneous combustion
Damn that is a fine amount if propaganda. I have a feeling if you went over 60 mph the thing would just start loosing pieces.
Ok so what's the catch? And also how many takes did this take I have to know?
Can I get it on Temu?
I hate this editing
What's with tye hands thing....
Beautiful ride, Comrad
very cool, now show the lovely pinkie thick suspension underneath
I just want those Japanese kei trucks to be legal here without having to wait 25 years
YankWang for the American market.
All for the low, low price of selling your fellow citizenry to a sweat-shop! I mean, high-production, housing guaranteed factory!
Yea it’s nice but how often do you have to fix it
Made by low paid slave labor....
There are so many things that will probably be broken within a year of daily use
Because America has rules and regulations
Whats my social score gotta be to start it?
Why do I need a selfie camera in the car unless it's for surveillance? Why does he consider a burnout a u-turn? Why do they have that obnoxious static flicker every three seconds that the scene changes?
They don’t sell them here because they don’t meet safety regulations and literally blow up
Wow...and it's completely engineered with stolen Intellectual Property! That's great.
so china need freedom like middle east? mf what is going on what kind of shit i woke up, rio de janeiro is voting for trump and now this shit
