$15k EV... Yes Please!!!

Nah you wouldn't want one, they're bare bones.

Okay, add $5k worth of options = $20k EV... Yes Please!!!

I have driven byd and some other Chinese brands and it's a really great experience minus the shitty touch screen UX. That being said I wouldn't trust China to run my car ever. Everything is locked down and it absolutely spies on you. I wouldn't trust my life with that to save a bit of money.

Just buying a 2nd hand ice vehicle is better for you and the environment if you're looking for a affordable option.

Tesla spies on you as much if not more, and is famous for locking out features. I'm not sure there's much difference.

Nissan, BMW, Citroen all have a bunch of other lock-in too, but perhaps less than Chinese and American cars.

That's true and you shouldn't trust Tesla either.
