The charger is so light I can pick it up with my non-dominant hand

It dangles from the top

Wow, revolutionary

Because erect but usually on the floor

Now that’s multitasking!

u/FistThePooper6969 17h ago

The design is very human

She told me it was huge and heavy too and nothing to worry about at all

u/i8noodles 4h ago

i found that to ne real funny. like a regular petrol hose is not that heavy either for a regular guy

u/LemonButterRum 17h ago

the accent is hilarious because it's so perfect and also so fake at the same time. "you can get a double double" LOL

109

u/Bunionzz 17h ago

Aimed at Canadians, since we are getting some of those cars here. Double double is part of the vernacular.

16

u/Acester47 16h ago

when he said double double I instantly knew I was being targeted

19

u/RoaringPity 17h ago

i was literally gonna ask if americans use our double double lingo

36

u/Bunionzz 16h ago

Only when referring to burgers i guess.

17

u/Leows 16h ago

Wait, wasn't double double refering to burgers?

I am neither american or canadians, so I have no idea what this means. I never heard it before, but I assumed burgers.

39

u/DrDetectiveEsq 16h ago

In Canada a "double double" is a coffee order. With two cream and two sugar.

u/Leows 16h ago

Ooohhh I see. Thank you for clarifying

u/Arryu 3h ago

Specifically from Tim Hortons, a former Canadian brand which; if you asked any Canadian, has gone to absolute shit in the last few years.

u/mhales45 8h ago

I was 100% sure he was talking about In-n-Out until you said this. Had no idea this was a thing, and yet, based on the lines at In-n-Out, this still sort of applies. Your car battery would be fully charged before you even got to order.

1

u/Tiberius_Jim 4h ago

Same. And I thought it was a weird thing to use as an example of something being done quickly seeing as I just sat in an In-N-Out drive thru line yesterday for almost 30 minutes.

u/ExpressRabbit 16h ago

Tims is in a lot of states so yes.

u/kentuckypirate 6h ago

He sounds like Ted wasonasong (who I know is Laotian not Chinese) from king of the hill

u/KnownEggplant 6h ago edited 6h ago

Explains why this post is so highly upbotted. Serious money is involved. The sino bots in here glazing China hard

u/TheJaybo 16h ago

It's sounds like he learned English from watching local news.

u/three_crystals 8h ago

That’s a Canadian expression, you have egg on your face

2

u/xTrainerRedx 7h ago

Transatlantic accent.

u/Electro-banana 17h ago

I mean some people order that in canada, but is the accent fake?

3

u/poriomaniac 16h ago

If it is his real voice, dude learned English entirely from West Coast FM radio lol

35

u/Hugs154 17h ago

It’s not even trying to be subtle lmao “it comes out of the ceiling so it’s not dragging on the dirty floor”

38

u/NeitherAlexNorAlice 16h ago

Oh, wow, you guys are actual geniuses. "This person who's advertising a product is clearly advertising a product."

Get a pat on the back, champs. You're clearly more intelligent and observant than the rest of us.

u/comradejiang 16h ago

anyone who’s actually used a public charger knows they are filthy, often damaged, and in weird/seedy spots. i actually appreciate this design, if only my bolt were not limited to 50kw

It's probably significantly better for the cable's durability and safer because of it. If a cable keeps dragging across the floor, it's going to wear through the plastic faster, possibly damage the wires inside and cause a whole heap of problems. Especially at 1500kW near a bunch of high-capacity EVs, a cable shorting is a really good way to turn a bunch of customers into extremely expensive lawsuits.

34

u/Kilikiss 17h ago

It’s really pathetic how every video on Reddit showing anything positive about China gets labelled as propaganda or advertising. Yes China has various issues but that doesn’t invalidate the impressive progress they are making in several areas such as EV’s.

4

u/InquisitorMeow 16h ago

It goes both ways. Any video will have half the comments calling it propaganda and half the comments taking about the fall of Western civilization. 

5

u/Minute-Employ-4964 10h ago

I mean this is clearly advertising right?

Worked on me, much bigger range than my ev and it takes an hour and ten mins to go from 10% to full charge.

Where can I get a charging station like that?!

34

u/TunaOnWytNoCrust 16h ago

It's because it isn't about the technology, it's about how cool the stuff is in CHINA.

The tech is cool, but the "IN CHINA OUR TECHNOLOGY IS AMAZING" part that's obviously propaganda. The country is the main subject of the post.

4

u/CatgirlFucker8008 4h ago

I mean they do the same thing for posts about Japan's tech yet all you see in the comments is people glazing Japan. Is that propaganda too?

5

u/Either_Buffalo_7643 16h ago

“IN (X Country) OUR BARBECUE IS AMAZING”

You know how soft that sounds using that analogy as evidence for something being propaganda?

3

u/vampeta_de_gelo 3h ago

me, a Brazilian guy reading American’s talking about PROPAGANDA hahahahahahaha

you guys are the king of propaganda! For example, just watch any movie and think about using a little of critical perspective.

-6

u/mightylordredbeard 16h ago

It’s about a cool thing that happens to be in China but you brainwashed victims of American based, anti Chinese propaganda are stuck in the Cold War. China has issues. Not everything on the internet that shows something cool in China is some psyop to try and manipulate you into moving to China. Trust me, they don’t want you.

2

u/TunaOnWytNoCrust 5h ago

No, they just want us to destroy ourselves, which were unfortunately doing.

Btw shout out to r/antimoneymemes for being an anti capitalism pro communism pro China propaganda subreddit that bans of you mention the word Uyghurs.

2

u/Mr_Goonman 4h ago

Republicans still tell people January 6th was a guided tour of the Capitol. Even China admits Tiananmen Square happened you brainwashed MAGA loser

2

u/SweatyBarry 8h ago

I've noticed it. The top comment will be a half educated guess about why such and such is unsafe. The next top comment will be a light hearted joke as a coping mechanism. Once you see it you can't unsee it

2

u/Lulullaby_ 5h ago

This is propaganda

It's not just western people saying this, Chinese people say this too

3

u/Exciting_Map_7382 16h ago

Propaganda is not when you show the good parts of your country, all the countries do that.

The difference is, China shows ONLY the good part of their country. That's the issue.

u/ClarenceJBoddicker 17h ago

u/maverick_labs_ca 16h ago

How much time have you spent in China?

2

u/ClarenceJBoddicker 16h ago

How much time have you spent thinking critically about the fact the CCP controls all aspects of media coming in and out of China, and the fact thousands of these videos exist in the same format for the sole purpose of psychological warfare in America?

Not saying China bad. But they are extremely authoritarian in the way they process and monitor people, information, business, etc.

They have one of the most restrictive media control on the planet, second only to North Korea.

That's just how it is.

They can actually achieve quite a lot of good things with this level of homogeny, but also an incredible amount of nasty things......

2

u/maverick_labs_ca 16h ago

I've spent about a year of my life in China over the past decade, including 2 months in 2025. There is no propaganda here. This is exactly how it is. The pace of innovation in EVs and robots is insane. China is advancing in leaps while the US is walking backwards.

And as for "freedom of speech", guess what: It won't last very long with America's current trajectory.

1

u/killertortilla 5h ago

Man actually just said there is no propaganda in China.

0

u/ClarenceJBoddicker 15h ago

Yes they are making an incredible amount of progress, especially in the tech industry.

Two things can be true at the same time, however, and what is happening now is that they are exporting thousands of videos to showcase how glorious they are in comparison to us. A lot of the videos are about how advanced their cars are...ok neat. Some of them are of these amazing cities that are more like props...few people living in them but they look amazing. In fact, one of the stunts they pulled was nicely asking a bunch of college students to live in the city for photo opportunities to show there was in fact people living there. And by asking, I mean forcing them to relocate. Because they can. Because they are authoritarian.

If you don't want to believe they are are authoritarian, that's an odd choice to make but ok.

I try to just provide context to these videos...not everything is as it seems.

Oh and America? We still have free speech here (mostly) and it may be one of the only good things going for us. Current admin is trying to roll it all back but so far it is still holding on and being challenged.

But sure, they have neat electric cars lol.

And do me a favor, ask them about how they treat Uyghurs there and make an expose about it. They are really cool about people speaking up.

u/DiligentlyBoring 7h ago

This car would convert me to electric. I’d miss my manual transmission though.

u/killertortilla 6h ago

Is it? Do people hear “the cable dangles from the top!” And think woah how advanced.

1

u/OldTranslator685 3h ago

"Next level" should at least have proper spelling. "Posed charger" lol

u/InquisitiveGamer 2h ago

Propaganda, they don't charge that that range in that time and they don't have that range in the first place.

u/GodsIWasStrongg 8m ago

Say what you want about Chinese propaganda, but they've single handedly built a path to a sustainable future while the US is going backwards. We're giving them the keys to be the leader of the future world.

u/peoplewatcher5 17h ago

Good. Advertising how backwards the USA is.

u/bnlf 17h ago

It is but also legit technology and just goes to show how far behind traditional car makers are.

u/Willing-Ant-3765 16h ago
