The Jaecoo 7 is the #3 top selling car in the UK right now and it has an ICE powertrain.

Low reliability and safety issues kills car brands. Consumers really don’t like it.

Sure, jet engines are on a very different level of reliability standards, but it seems to me that the concepts are all the same: highly regulated market of low-margin complex heavy machinery where it’s difficult to be a new entrant in the market.
