They may know he's an influencer, but know that you or I have basically no legal recourse with goods purchased from China. The Chinese government does not care and the US government has no power. They could send you a vehicle that's a total lemon and breaks in three weeks and you would have no buyer protection, as alibaba gives only the most basic protection with returns for 2-weeks, and likely you would have to pay the return shipping fee which for a truck could be huge since you don't get the commercial discounted shipping rates.

@@Simonisms Its just so much safer to buy from a distributor in your own country, as then they have to abide by all laws in your country and you have full protection of the law. With a Chinese company direct import, if there is any problem, you're at the mercy of the kindness of the company of a Chinese company that often change names every couple of years and have virtually no brand value to protect in general, as they don't have a culture of forming long term relationships with their customers the way say Apple does.

I purchased a 55 hp 4x4 backhoe from Alibaba. Took over 2 months to get to Panama. Got to the port to pick up the backhoe from the RoRo and the batteries were dead. Had to pay a $125 port jump off fee. Ok, I paid it. Finally got it to my coconut plantation 8 hours away. Jump in the cabin and found out all my electric switches were turned on. A nice little battery charge scam from the port of Panama. So, I imagine his batteries will be dead being in a shipping container for over a month.

The dump bed sells the whole deal! I would say this vehicle and ones like it could replace 90% of our cars and huge trucks we drive. And we would have so much more fun! I am not agonist big trucks and suvs, I love them, but we had a Austin minor converted to a pickup truck in the ‘70’s, if it had been electric it would have been perfect. Mostly in town driving, we bought and sold items so we’re always needing a small pickup bed. Each stop was like a celebrity photo shoot! Taking all the kids to festivals and fairs and swap meets, and it went everywhere! Looking forward to your first drive .

Haha, I have to tell you that my 70-year-old neighbor has a similar one. I'm in China. He uses it to pick up his granddaughter to kindergarten every day. The factory in China deliberately reduced the power of the vehicle's engine so that he could not drive very fast, so he did not need a license or even a driver's license. It has air conditioning, can protect against wind and rain, can also transport goods if necessary, and even better, it is very slow to ensure safety, which meets almost all the needs of an elderly person. Sorry I really want to laugh when I look at your young face. This is really an old man's car. 😄 I hope the car exported to the US has a better engine.

I'm a retired autoworker and found your video on this truck to be amazing. I never would have thought it possible to purchase a vehicle at this price in today's market. I purchased a Honda car in 1971 and it cost me less than $2 thousand dollars, tax, title, and out the door. It only had a 600cc engine and was the first model Honda imported to the USA. I wish I still had that little car. I got over 40 miles per gallon with the car. It was so small that it had a plastic trunk. It would never pass the rigged restrictions imposed on American cars today. I would like to save up my little retirement income to purchase either the same truck model or the car model.

*If considering this, from what I've seen...:* 1. Consider a nearly identical crew cab model with 4 doors, make bed extension over tailgate if desired. 2. Forget $2,000, the costs usually come out closer to $3,500+/-$500 with options, usually a motor and/or battery upgrade. 3. Most report $2,500+/-$500 total shipping and transportation, totaling out $5,000 to $6,000. 4. Most importers/resellers charge $8,000 or more, so probably worthwhile to pursue yourself. 5. Frequently takes a very long time to ship. 6. Because of cost, time, and interest I would suggest ordering more than 1, selling the others in their stripped down version, look at how many can fit into 1 shipping container. 7. Getting street legal has been a mixed bag, generally but not always considered the same as a golf cart (check state regs), check HOA regulations if using as golf cart in a private community. 8. Most report it is built well, only knocks have been rough suspension and rust on the underside, might check on getting rust proofing, or coating the bottom with pickup bed liner with periodic touchup. 9. Primary use has been getting around and light work on large properties, think of it as replacing a John Deere Gator or golf cart. Personally I think this would have been great on our family farm, replacing using a pickup just to deliver bodies, tools, parts, meals, etc. to/from the fields. 10. Common upgrades have been solar panels to extend battery, piston for bed lift (I would suggest a heavy electric linear actuator or similar), DC to AC power convertors for 120Vac, short wave radios, I think factory offers AC. I would also suggest spray in bed liner, tie downs, removable bed covering, seat covers, spare tire, see if can add a 2nd set of batteries, and your choice of racing striped or a monster truck custom paint job.

Don’t know that I’d want to drive this on the street or if it’s even street legal in the US, but I can see it coming in handy instead of an ATV for someone that has a large property that they need to move things around on. Might need to upgrade the tires to something more suited for off-road.

I would be very interested in a truck like that. I currently have an electric golf cart for my camping trips. Working on upgrading the electronics to solid state and also upgrading the motor. I am new to the whole lithium battery scene.so therefore I bought your book on lithium batteries. Haven't read it yet but will soon as I am getting quite a collection of cells. I want to build an electric bike for my wife and I to use while camping as well. Great videos and full of info. Keep up the great work Micah, till next vid take care.

I just got my chaingli car last week. I went through a new company that is Importing them. Figured it was worth the extra cost to let them deal with the Import stuff. I wish mine had the ac and the option for the lithium battery's. Your truck has a lot nicer options than my car. Definitely be watching your review of it. FYI Club Car the golf car manufacturer. Makes an electric utility vehicle for around $25,000

This is great customer service! I'd love to have one to get to my offroad farming property. But there is zero chance they'd let me drive it in Germany. No matter if it's safe, the german car industry is way to influential. B.t.w. I'm waiting for my solar/electric car Sion (Sono motors germany), I really hope you'll be able to feature it once it hits the streets.

You cannot drive this in Germany even on your own off road property? That's incredibly odd. Here in the US, at least the MN state, these cars can get registered as Low Speed electric vehicles, which won't make them highway legal but you can go on any street marked up to 35mph. I'm not sure if there is a classification or process in Germany that is similar
