One of the obvious giveaways on the G3, are the door handles. Look at this shit! Basically not so far away from what’s on my 2008 Honda Fit:
The video (quite optimistically) claims that the G3 will be a “Tesla killer,” but more likely it’ll just be another electric car, competing among the hundreds of other automakers in China with similar ambitions.
