Dahua's Car Manufacturer Raises $63 Million

It seems Dahua’s Talent is manufacturing but they are not too strong on marketing. It seems they have been successful on the backs of their OEMs here in the US. I guess that if they can raise enough money that would enable them to hire some killer marketing minds. The one thing I would wonder about is if their vehicles would be available only on Amazon and without any service or support. Would they possibly be looking to sell cars via Tesla or VW dealers? Or will the car look and work well but will be vulnerable to wireless hacks and back doors? All joking aside, I’m curious to see what they come up with. 

Dahua's car manufacturer employees may very well need to work non-stop and not see their children...

At first, such a work ethic sounds great for Dahua, but what happens when crunch time rolls around?  You got nowhere to go.

As opposed to the typical Western worker, who responsibly paces their output at a predictable, if less productive rate, often somewhere between TBM and JETGB* 

Then when confronted with the inevitable, but seemingly impossible deadline, management need offer only lightweight incentives, e.g. “Hawaiian Shirt Wednesday!” and instantly double production.

I wonder if Dauha cars will have any backdoors.

Reminds me of the uproar of the Japanese taking over in the 80's and 90's and the question of the American worker's competiveness against the "inhuman" Samurai work ethics. They proved to be mostly unfounded fears. But the difference being Japan is a much freer and democratic country. How much will Chinese society change as it experiences more affluence, but that affluence being controlled and rationed to the populace?

Learn a little about Chinese Car manufactures from a local perspective.

BYD get special privileges for buyers not having to pay high prices to drive in tie one cities. And have a vast experience compared at least to a stat-up.

I think Dauha is looking at domestic only sales, a long term view for international, or at least the prospect of having a untrusted new car company suddenly be in the market is one hard thing to swallow even for local market customers.

The people with the money to afford would just pay for something more credible.  We shall see now 2018 if anything comes from this.
