Japan’s KG Motors and the Tiny Mibot EV: A Big Idea in a Small Package
KG Motors is not KG Mobility (KGM, previously known as Ssangyong). (And KGM is not KTM.)
This is a pure Japanese EV, not a Chinese one, so I think it will be well-received by the Thai EV market.

my new chinese car🇨🇳🚗 #ishowspeed
This seems to be the iShowSpeed's real YouTube channel, but it remains questionable whether he actually bought it as he says.
If iShowSpeed bought it as he said, would he be able to bring it back to the US?
Did the Trump administration fully ban the import of Chinese cars?
Or even if the Trump administration didn’t fully ban it, if iShowSpeed is bring it to the US, I think iShowSpeed would likely to be faces the 125% tariff (insane tariff like the Thailand's car import tax, so Trump's tariff rates does not sound wrong for me).
Yangwang U9 price is 1,680,000 Chinese Yuan. Today, it equals 231,147.00 United States Dollar.
(iShowSpeed says it costs 250,000 USD, about 8.156% more than MSRP.)
125% tariff is 288933.75 USD.
Then price plus tariff are 520080.75 USD, excluding shipping and other costs.
