There are more US auto workers working for foreign-owned companies than there are for American-owned companies. Eventually the Chinese EV companies will follow the path of Honda, Totota, etc. and just start opening factories in the US. Tariffs don't apply to US-built cars.

american ones are pretty crappy, and alot of them are built in mexico anyways.

The tariffs don't apply, but American workers, especially union ones, want too much money compared to Chinese ones, which is why they aren't being produced in the US yet. When most of the work can be automated away, they might build American manufacturing plants too.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
