    I read with interest on this article.  Is there a disjoint between Pension funds manager and Wall St funds manager & Wall St analysts ? Afterall they have been thumbing down Chinese EV makers ($NIO Inc.(NIO)$ ,  $XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$ ,  $Li Auto(LI)$ )  or simply ignore their progresses.  Instead focusing on newbie US EV makers ($Rivian Automotive, Inc.(RIVN)$,  $Lucid Group Inc(LCID)$ )  that still have to go thru the very very very lengthy and  arduous path that the 3 Chinese EV makers have gone thru; alm
