One is 36Kr, the other is LatePost—both media outlets are remarkably bold in what they publish.
Yesterday, a 36Kr investigation found that even for luxury cars costing over a million yuan, domestic suppliers quote less than 100 yuan for a brake pedal assembly.
Today, LatePost’s report named the Zunjie directly, saying it uses crude or lower-cost plastic, and that its brake pedal pivot shaft is so thin it’s rarely seen even by industry insiders. It’s baffling: why skimp on materials so much in the design?
