Because any American/European car company would vanish within 2 years. Chinese EVs are on another level.

Hybrids fix the charging problem for renters…not budging until I see more choices.

Do what China did allow chinese EVs into the US if they partner with a US company and manufacture domestically

American cars are the modern Yugo but with a Benz price tag.

Because the US can’t actually compete in the free market, they only want the right wealthy people to have the capital to enjoy it.

Working in intel, I really think people downplay the value of their data capture. I get the price point, but there’s an insane amount of information that’s collected.
And people will complain that we do the same, and to an extent we do, but there’s far more limitations on use for non-Chinese cars and there’s far more nefarious purposes by the PLA.
When you’re familiar with what can be collected and how it can be used, it’s truly mind-blowing.

As an American why would we want Chinese cars in America? #1 their our enemy, #2 why bring competition to our own market? #3 FUCK CHINA, even though our government is shit right now.

As much as I don’t respect American automakers, can the country really afford to ship millions of jobs to China?

Because we have to have a manufacturing base to survive. We wouldn’t have won WWII without the automakers. That industry must survive.

I mean the interior looks like dogshit with that giant screen and no buttons. Massive shitty shiny black plastic. But I’m sure that’s easier to swallow when the car is cheap as fuck.

If American capitalism is the greatest economic system, why is it so scared to complete with China?

Because Michigan is a swing state that no president wants to lose. It’s not a conspiracy, swing states just hold more power.
If cars were manufactured in a “safe” state like California or Oklahoma we’d see less protectionism, but Michigan has consistently been one of the stars with the slimmest margins each election cycle.

I rode in a BYD in Asia and it’s better than Tesla. Would be cheaper too

These are coming like it or not. They can do all they want to keep them out for now. But Peru, Uruguay, Nigeria, West Africa, Iceland, and Moldova aren’t going to stay away and try to protect the American car market. Wether they are in the U.S. or not they will eventually be everywhere else. And eventually Americans are going to try them in different countries. It’s just a matter of time.
