Absolutely. Even if you clear customs through gray channels, local commercial insurance companies will refuse to cover third-party liability insurance due to the vehicle not complying with national traffic laws; additionally, the vehicle will definitely fail the annual safety inspection at the local DMV.

We repeatedly confirm and emphasize to buyers before sale: after leaving mainland China, most Chinese smart electric vehicle ecosystems (such as cloud voice assistants, online maps, OTA updates) will be permanently offline. You are purchasing a hardware platform with excellent mechanical quality and a three-electric system; please use it as a "standalone" vehicle. Do not trust false promises from other channels claiming "perfect overseas unlocking and continuous official OTA updates."

We maintain an absolute skeptical attitude. In addition to regular visual inspections, we focus on checking for sediment accumulation around the sunroof drainage channels and look for water stains under the A-pillar trim and front floor mats. This is the only effective physical evidence to determine if the sunroof drainage holes are blocked, leading to hidden leaks.
