No fallback = Even if you can get the national subsidy, don't even think about getting it? Smart is really "smart".

I’m located in Shenzhen. First, I must declare that I really like the appearance of the Dacar Smart, and after test driving it, I also like the driving experience of the Baobus. I have already paid the car payment and am ready to pick up the car. However, the manufacturer’s behavior is really hard to swallow.

Let’s start with the order date:

I’m not afraid to be called an idiot, but at that time, I hesitated and wanted to wait for the small steel cannon and buy the Baobus version directly. Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not have a clear message at that time, so I was a little late and paid an extra 12,600 yuan. The manufacturer had said earlier that there was no bottom line, no national subsidy. Although I was very unwilling, I liked it, so I could only wait for the car in peace.

Until today, I have paid the car payment and received the certificate of conformity.

In the column for the vehicle manufacturing date, it is written prominently that it was December 11, 2022. The progress bar on the app shows that the car will only be shipped this year. In the intervening 20-something days, the car was probably just waiting in the factory to be queued for shipment to Shenzhen. Are there really few people in Shenzhen who buy Dacar Smarts? Perhaps the manufacturer does have its own reasons, but from the time standpoint, I can only say that the manufacturer went to great lengths to make sure that I couldn’t get the national subsidy.

In the delivery group, I expressed my dissatisfaction. Let’s boost domestic production and put the joint venture factories out of business!
