Hyundai USA did just that and made a massive discovery about touchscreens. Americans hate them, and here’s why.
Tesla feels the pressure from this American company
For years, Tesla has led EV sales on a global scale. However, recently, it has come under pressure from this Chinese giant, as we covered before.
