Wow, that's incredible! I just went on their website and found the most adorable little electric pickup truck for only $2K

If it weren't for the lack of airbags or any real safety features, I would totally buy one!

It's mentioned in one of the follow up articles to that one, and I don't recall which, but the the second generation of the Changli went way more "actual car" in styling and looks extremely similar to the QQ today: https://www.changliev.com/

(ETA: I've also loved following the Changli chronicles on Jalopnik, and people don't believe me when I say that the car industry needs to be keeping an eye on Chinese EV companies because they are doing really interesting things in the low end of the cost spectrum that could catch other manufacturers by surprise.)

Wow, had not seen that before--$1200 for a new car is incredible.
