A YouTuber experienced significant frustration after receiving an item he deemed an ‘utter disappointment’ upon purchasing an EV sports car from China.
When investing a substantial amount of money in a product, it’s reasonable to expect that you will receive what you ordered.
However, things can go awry, as demonstrated by a YouTuber known as The Inja, who discovered just how problematic things can become when plans falter.
The Inja’s channel is primarily focused on cars, bikes, and other vehicles, often showcasing the machines he builds or acquires to his audience.
Despite this, after purchasing an electric sports car from China via an online platform, he was left ‘frustrated’ when his expectations were unmet.
The YouTuber believed he had ordered an EV Qiantu K50, a model created by Qiantu Motor that ceased production in 2020 after selling less than 200 units, as reported by CNEV Post.
Upon receiving the item, he found himself more ‘speechless’ than ever before.
Instead of the anticipated vehicle, he received something difficult to categorize.
In a 2020 video reveal, he commented: “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 unpacking the vehicle and bringing it home, he and a friend tested its roadworthiness, only to find it was extremely slow and unusually small.
Moreover, the steering wheel bore what seemed to be counterfeit Lexus Logos.
In a subsequent video, the YouTuber mentioned that he managed to secure a partial refund, though the process was far from smooth.

He explained in the video’s description that the seller claimed he was refunded but ‘only on his conditions’.
The YouTuber stated: “He demanded he can’t wire the funds back to me and that only PayPal or a Chinese bank works for him,” suggesting this was ‘part of his scam script’.
He concluded by advising his viewers to exercise caution when ordering from overseas.
In a third video, he alleged that the seller made the refund process difficult, requiring him to set previous videos to private before he was reimbursed ‘$29,000 of the $31,000 I’d sent them’.
