    If they paid us fairly, then we could afford to buy their expensive cars. Then, the competition from cheap Chinese cars wouldn’t be nearly so big a problem for them.

    Their greed keeps coming back to bite them in the ass, but they’ll do anything at all to avoid sharing the wealth.

      The US is trying to get other economies to keep rules against Chinese EVs as well.

      The Chinese are dumping EVs, but the cars are better value than any American/European option - often just straight up better. Tue only reason I have avoided buying one is lack of confidence in the long term stability of the manufacturers; that s evej considering that import duties where I live put them in the same price category as regionally manufactured models.

    I paid a 15% baked in tariff on my non us manufactured electric car. Worth every penny.

    GM has never made a good car. Ford forgot they are a car company. Fuck em all.
