      The number of companies that are totally on-board with this administration.. they’ve 100% brought them on themselves.

      You can buy the better Chinese version of a Tesla Model Y for 1/3rd to 1/2 as much. BYD is the world’s largest EV manufacturer because people like their cars, and they’re relatively cheap. Only in America do new cars cost *$75,000.* It’s because tariffs are keeping cheaper imports out, and making the domestic auto manufacturers uncompetitive worldwide because there is no competitive signal to make them change.

    3. I have a Tesla but no way am is my next car going to be a Tesla. I don’t see why we have to pay a premium so the vile person can make money. I do wonder how long we can deal with a $1T trade deficit!

    4. Those „industry experts“ being paid for by US auto companies, of course.

      By industry experts they mean people who want consumers to be stuck in the mindset that if they don’t spend at least 30-50k on a new vehicle they are going to get a lemon.

    6. the sector isn’t proactive. it’s reactive.

      it was always going to play out this way.

    7. Affordable, high quality electric vehicles consumers can start finally buying. Oh the horror

      These EVs are for regular people, not the “experts,” so the “experts” need not worry their pretty little heads.

      If they were that horribly bad. The Chinese ev market would crash without any need for tariffs as the countless amount of products beforehand have.

      Why? The US surrendered and Chinese cars are now better. The market hath spoke.

      It worries North American car manufacturers who slept on solar to keep sucking oil and gas’s tit.

      Well, maybe should have thought of that BEFORE you started undermining long standing Canada/US trade deals…

      Car industry CEOs should have pushed back harder on Trump’s bullshit. Canada wouldn’t have gone this way if our auto industry wasn’t being threatened. This way we might get some of these companies to build in Canada in the future. Which would be amazing for Canada if the US administration changes and we end up being the supplier for high-demand cars for the US market.

    14. Damn. Its almost like the war on EVs is putting us behind in a industry that is leading us into the future. I wonder who started that?

      General Motors built an electric vehicle in 1996 as a lark to appease California clean emissions requirements the EV1. It had the lowest air drag coefficient of any design and it was slick. Too slick. Despite favorable customer reception, GM believed that electric cars occupied an unprofitable niche of the automobile market, ultimately reclaiming and crushing most of the cars. Because crushing them was more profitable than selling them. They had the technology from the moon buggy and they were not going to let that out among the population. In 2003, GM terminated the EV1 program, disregarding protests from customers. Thus GM gained the reputation of the company that killed the American electric car.. down with industry experts

    16. Automakers in NA have gone insane with pricing. Hopefully this puts them in check a bit.

    17. FarceMultiplier on

      Automakers could try not ripping us off for overpriced lemons. That’s the reason why China has strong chances in North America.

    18. RollingThunderPants on

      American automakers DESERVE their ultimate destruction. They have CHEATED Americans with their greed and laziness and those companies can fucking choke on it.
