Ah yes... :rofl:

A lot of materials should be banned from Asia due to lack of responsibility over safety concerns

Did you know that the bulk of furniture sold in the USA is Made in Vietnam?

And let's not forget ==>> Chinese drywall

Ever wonder why most Chinese-made extension cords and many appliance power cords are so stiff you can stand them up like a frozen rope?
I'm thinking that's how they get most of their lead out of China...blend the lead in with the thermoplastic and ship it out! :headbang:

Are they UL listed? I make up all my own power cords using SOOW cable.

I believe that even Tesla, corporate, says not to rely totally on "auto drive" and maintain alertness. Now what the dealer may say, or social media (ha, ha) may say is a whole other thing.
