  They probably don’t.

  A surprisingly small amount of products need to malfunction before people get the idea that they all will.

  I still hear about how my Samsung phone will explode any second now.

  The models sold in my country haven’t burst into flame yet, and they sold a lot of units here. Honestly, EV fire is my biggest worry, so I’ll probably wait for another year before considering getting a chinese ev to see if there is no fire incidents or other dealbreaking issues, but they’re looking pretty solid so far.

  It’s okay, you’ll have money left over for the medical bills.
