Why is this Chinese electric car the world's best selling car?

At the beginning of 2021, Tesla Model 3 lost its leadership among the best-selling electric vehicles in the world. In this ranking, it had to give way to the small Chinese hatchback Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV, which in just a few months managed to gather a whole army of loyal fans in its homeland. Now how did that happen? We will tell in this review! Sales began in July 2020 and within the first twenty days the Mini ev manufacturer received 15,000 orders. For six months, this number increased eightfold and amounted to 120,000 cars. And according to the results during the first two months of 2021, the Chinese baby became the best-selling electric car in the world, leaving behind the permanent leader Tesla Model 3. Such impressive sales dynamics were made possible by the unprecedentedly low price of this electric car: just over $4,200 in the basic version and about $5.5 thousand in the improved configuration. For comparison, the price of the Tesla Model 3 in the domestic car market in China is about $42,000, which is 10 times more expensive than the Mini EV. #car #electriccar #china Don’t miss next videos: Press the little bell ((🔔)) to get notifications Production Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound

This truck doesn’t exist in America - we bought it anyway

We fly to Dubai to buy a brand-new Land Cruiser 70 pickup that America never gets, expecting it to be bulletproof. Instead we discover nonstop problems - death wobble, broken hubs, four-low refusing to engage when we actually need it, and AC that barely exists in the desert. After pushing deeper into the Leewa dunes and limping back toward civilization, the trip turns into a lesson in how quickly a dream vehicle can become a liability. By the end, we realize the bigger story is not just the truck - it’s how hard it is to film anything wild in a place where the rules close in from every direction.
