it will take years before they can prove that their cars are made to last. I won’t be lining up to buy them but in 5-10 years perhaps

Mine comes with a 5 year warranty, and a 7 year battery replacement warranty. I'm fine with not waiting.

Well, not sure how enforceable will it be, time will tell.

There are some not so good portents:

does it also say it is OK to wait 8 months for warranty replacement or 11 months for battery replacement? :)

Kia/hyundai went through that phase already, and just got through it with absurd 10 year warranties when they first came out. China could do the same in the states, although I think they will have enough traction in SEA/Africa/Russia//Australia by then that they won’t have to.
