        They probably don’t.

        A surprisingly small amount of products need to malfunction before people get the idea that they all will.

        I still hear about how my Samsung phone will explode any second now.

        The models sold in my country haven’t burst into flame yet, and they sold a lot of units here. Honestly, EV fire is my biggest worry, so I’ll probably wait for another year before considering getting a chinese ev to see if there is no fire incidents or other dealbreaking issues, but they’re looking pretty solid so far.
