Chinese Engineers Tore Down Tesla's NEW $15000 Car — What They Found Is Dangerous

📘 The Owner's Manual They Didn't Give You: what your car doesn't tell you, and how to keep it running → https://usatruck.gumroad.com/l/manual In January 2025, Tesla began selling its redesigned Model Y in China, from about $36,000. Within weeks, Chinese car sites had one taken apart, and Xiaomi's founder later said his company bought three Model Ys and stripped them part by part before launching its own SUV. What did the teardowns find? A rear seat back with no steel, cheaper tape on the wiring, no radar at all, a plastic crash beam where aluminum used to be, and a motor built to cost less. We rank the seven findings and check each claim against the teardowns published on Autohome, PCauto and Dongchedi, Tesla's own filings, CPCA sales data reported by CnEVPost, and dated reporting from Reuters, Electrek and others. And the $15,000 Tesla? Analysts at Morgan Stanley and ARK have predicted one; no $15,000 Tesla is on sale today, and the cheapest new Tesla is the $36,990 Model 3 Standard. Prices are in US dollars; Chinese prices use the conversion each source printed. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Cold open: what the teardowns found 1:26 The money: Tesla's sales in China 3:35 No. 7: The back seat 5:15 No. 6: The wiring 6:45 No. 5: The sensors 8:10 No. 4: The crash beams 10:16 No. 3: The motor 11:44 No. 2: Tesla's own answer: strip it further 13:28 No. 1: The rivals built after the teardowns 15:34 The honest part 17:51 What the teardowns really found 👍 If this helped, like and subscribe.
