The car named Youxia X is developed by Youxia Motors. The author of the creation is Huang Xiuyuan, a 28-year-old businessman who gathered promising engineers and designers under his wing. The name was not given by chance; the popular series "Knight Rider" was called Youxia.
Youxia X, like Tesla, is an electric car with a range of about 460 kilometers. It is powered by an electric motor developing 348 hp and 440 Nm. It is powered by a battery with a capacity of 40 kWh, 60 kWh, or 85 kWh. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 5.6 seconds. With a special charging station, the battery can be charged in just 30 minutes.
It is worth noting that if in the exterior the Chinese "designers" tried to make at least some changes, the interior of the Youxia X is almost the same as that of the analogue.
The main advantage of the Chinese electric car over its American counterpart is its price. The car will cost from 32,000 to 48,000 dollars.
As manufacturers assure, the first customers will receive cars in early 2017.
Are the plagiarists afraid of any actions from Elon Musk? Hardly, because the court of the PRC will be on their side, and a precedent has already been set.
