The Tesla has long been the popular choice for electric cars in China, but it looks like it will have to contend with an upstart Chinese competitor that draws inspiration from a 1980s American television show.

The Youxia X is the brainchild of 28-year-old CEO Huang Xiuyuan, and will be the start-up company’s first-ever electric car.

Youxia X will come in 40kWh, 60kWh or 85kWh versions that will allow for 220, 330, and 460 kilometer ranges respectively. The 85kWh version is said to go from zero to 100 kilometers-an-hour in 5.6 seconds, and can go 270 kilometers on a half-hour charge. It is expected to be available for sale in 2017 for between $32,200 and $48,300.

Huang said the idea for the car came to him “in a dream”, but for the rest of us familiar with 80s pop culture, it looks a lot like the TV show Knight Rider.

First off, the name of the company, Youxia (游侠, meaning “wandering hero”) is a lot like the Chinese name for Knight Rider (霹雳游侠). Secondly, the name of the car’s computer is “KITT OS”, just like the name of the car in the show.

But the most striking part of the Youxia X’s design and the detail is the display on the grill of the car. It’s customizable to show anything you’d like, including the red “Cylon eye” that sweeps back and forth as seen on Knight Rider:

Automotive blogs have varied in their response to the Youxia X. Car News China said they were “truly impressed”, calling the Youxia X “the most beautiful vehicle we have seen coming out of China”.

However, the similarities between the Youxia and Tesla were too much for others to ignore. Autoblog said the Youxia “looks like a Chinese Tesla Model S”, while Gizmodo Australia called it a “stunning Chinese Tesla knock off”. These criticisms pale compare to Green Car Reports calling the Youxia a “clone” that is “so bad it makes us laugh”.

Tesla has its own problems to deal with. This past March, Tesla cut a third of its Chinese workforce after having experienced declining sales. In January, Tesla only sold 120 cars in China.
