    nice,
    but in truth,
    there's very little in the way of more information,
    to say either yeigh or neigh...
    will just have to wait for the official intro.

    One thing I hate with PH assembled vehicles... they didn't consider the balance of the vehicle...

    having a heavier front than the rear is normal (especially now with front wheel drive vehicles)

    pero having the left (or right) side of the vehicle heavier without any adjustments made in the suspension is a big red flag for me.

    so the concept of the ELECTRON may be cute (its not that hard... you can practically buy everything you need online) - it will just remain as a "Sunday car"

    Likely. But I don't mind, as long as its built here. I don't even mind if its not cheaper than BYD, as long as the factory is here and its providing jobs for Filipinos.

    Most likely but with emphasis on what components (likely minor) can be manufactured or assembled here based on the tenor of the article. They need 1,000 preorders. That's Changan (2025) territory.
