My work let me stay around 6 months in Shanghai during the summer of 2010. All of my Chinese co-workers had a western name.
I can't take you seriously one bit,Chinese tends to adopt western names when they deal with western english speaking people or while studying in west. They tend to adopt what they call their “English name” as a means of facilitating communication with foreigners, who it is often felt might struggle with Chinese pronunciation and massacre their names. You should note that when the Chinese refer to their English name, they mean the name that they use when they are speaking English, not necessarily an English name .
Absolutely right, not denying it.
Tesla is only an expensive car, there's nothing high class about it. Its quality is on par if not lower than that of a golf cart, panels have huge gaps, it shakes rattles and leaks all the time.
Your commend on BYD make me think of GM too. But I agree Chinese car need to have better name.To be honest, their cars were crap until recently. So explains why they never made it that far in the 1st place.
Agree, Nio sounds more cool/catchy and better than TANG or SONG etc that BYD keeps coming out with.
Who can tell if distributors in other countries won't do something similar now or going down the line ? Distributor's want to make as much profits as they can, so they can charge silly fees which the manufacturer isn't even aware of, making many customers to cancel their order and go for better competitor.
As I said, if you want something done properly and objectively then do it yourself, especially in a new market where you have an even better competitor like TESLA who is already established. You have no room for such mistakes. Will be okay if you have a monopoly , but that's not the case.
