A YouTuber was left frustrated after receiving something he described as an 'utter disappointment' when ordering an EV sports car from China.
If you throw out the big bucks for a product, then the least you can expect is to get what you ordered.
But just wait, things could be a lot worse than a long order and delivery process as one YouTuber, named The Inja, found out just how awful things can be when they don’t go to plan.

The Inja’s page is mostly dedicated to cars, bikes and other automobiles and he often reveals some of the vehicles he has been building or bought with his followers.
However, after ordering an electric sports car from China from an online seller, he was left 'frustrated' when he didn’t get what he ordered.
The YouTuber ordered what he thought looked like a EV Qiantu K50, which is designed and manufactured by the company, Qiantu Motor, with the car eventually ceasing production in 2020 after less than 200 units were sold, according to CNEV Post.
However, when seeing what he'd actually received, he had never been more 'speechless' in his life.
Instead of getting what he believed he ordered - an - he got... well it is kind of hard to know what to call it.
Unveiling it to his followers in a 2020 video, the YouTuber said: “It is a pink fun v humvee or whatever the frick this is.
“Words cannot describe the anger and the frustration I feel right now. I am speechless, complete scam.”
After unboxing the vehicle and taking it to his home, he and his friend wanted to see if it was road worthy, and sadly, the vehicle proved to be extremely slow and considerably small.
There were also what appeared to be fake Lexus Logos on the steering wheel.
In a followup video, the YouTuber said he was able to get a partial refund, but that whole process was hardly seamless either.
He wrote in the video's caption that the person who'd sold him the car said he was refunded but 'only on his conditions'.
The YouTuber said: "He demanded he can't wire the funds back to me and that only paypal or a chinese bank works for him," adding that he believes it to be 'part of his scam script'.
He also closed by warning his users to be wary of when ordering from abroad.
However, he claimed in a third video that the person didn't make it easy on him and he'd allegedly had to private his prior videos before he was refunded '$29,000 of the $31,000 I'd sent them'.
