It seems like that ES6 modules does not work in React, i mean i get no errors but the Component i am importing isn't rendering anything: (they are all in the src folder and i am using version 18.1.0)

Car.jsx:

JavaScript

export default function Car() {
  return <h2>Hi, I am a Car!</h2>
}

script.jsx:

JavaScript

import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import Car from "/src/Car.jsx"

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root")).render(<Car/>)

index.html:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="src/favicon.svg" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Vite App</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="root"></div>
    <script type="module" src="/src/script.jsx"></script>
    <script type="module" src="/src/Car.jsx"></script>
  </body>
</html>

What I have tried:

First i tried changing to "/src/Car" then i tried to export { Car } and import { Car } from "/src/Car.jsx", then i tried using export default Car, then i tried to google up but none of them did help.
