Oh Dear! China's Electric Car Chaos: A Bean's Eye View!

Teddy's Worries About Wheels

Right so I saw this news about China. Apparently they have lots and lots of electric cars! More than you can shake a stick at! And they're having a bit of a kerfuffle because everyone's selling them for next to nothing! It's like trying to sell my Mini but even cheaper! Even Teddy is worried and he usually just minds his own business doesn't he? He keeps muttering about 'race to the bottom'. Sounds a bit like the last time I tried to make a cake... disastrous!

BYD: Bargain Basement Bonanza!

This company BYD is selling cars cheaper than my holiday to the seaside! Imagine! One of their little cars costs about the same as a year's supply of baked beans! I mean that's a bargain isn't it? Though I wonder if they come with a comfy seat and a steering wheel that doesn't fall off. You know essential things. Remember that time I drove from an armchair on top of my mini? Not my best moment I must admit.

Executives in a Tizzy!

Apparently some important people in China are getting their knickers in a twist over all this. They say it's 'unhealthy'. Like eating too many Brussels sprouts I suppose. One chap even compared it to a company called 'Evergrande' having a spot of bother which sounds serious! All this fuss over cars! It's enough to make you want a nice cup of tea and a sit down.

Zero Mileage Madness!

Now this is where it gets a bit silly. They're selling 'used' cars that haven't even been driven! It's like buying a packet of crisps that's already been opened but still has all the crisps inside! What's the point? Are they trying to trick people? I once tried to trick Mrs. Wicket into thinking I'd cleaned her flat. Let's just say it didn't end well. Remember the turkey on the head trick?

The People's Paper Panic!

Even the newspaper is getting involved complaining about the 'price war'. They say it's bad for everyone! Sort of like when I tried to cut my own hair. Bad for me bad for the scissors bad for anyone who had to look at me afterward. They're worried about workers' money. That's nice of them. Now if only someone would pay me to drive around in my Mini and cause chaos!

Consumers in a Quandary

The salesman is worried because people are waiting for the prices to drop even further. Honestly! It's like waiting for a free ice cream that might never arrive! People are funny aren't they? I'd buy a car now even if it meant selling Teddy. (Just kidding Teddy!) But perhaps they all need a holiday or at least a pot of my tea! Then all will be sorted I'm sure!
