Why tariffs the opposite of free trade and free market.
Because they can’t think beyond their own stock options.
They vest in 2-3 years. Earn profits and raise the stock now then let the board pay you a severance to retire. Live on a beach and let the company burn. It’s the American way.
Define “affordable” what’s the price point? There isn’t really many “affordable” cars in the US
I’m in Australia where Chinese EVs are being sold by the literal boat load. They are cheap, generally pretty good quality and with so much roof top solar here cost almost nothing to run. BYD is massive here
It used to be that Capitalism was about making things better, faster and cheaper than before and for more profit than the last one. At least, that is the fairy tale we are told at bedtime.
China still does Capitalism that way, but mixes in government monetary interference in the market, and the US interference in the market comes in the form of protectionism.
Neither would survive in a truly capitalist market.
Myself, i am sick of not being able to buy the vehicle I want that is easy and cheap to repair and is priced reasonably with decent quality. I can only pick two. The ‚Big 3‘ basically don’t sell passenger cars anymore excluding a couple models. It’s all trucks, SUVs and the occasional van.
My truck is getting to the age where it is starting to need parts, but they no longer stock parts for it. I want to keep it running because it has almost no DRM stopping me from repairing it myself. THe car I bought in 2018 was basically the last car the manufacturer produced, so i have to baby it too in order to keep it running.
Why can’t North American manufacturers sell me the car I want? Quality, price, efficiency, and features of a Chinese EV, without all the spyware?
Me! Right here! I want one!
It’s ok. We got shareholder buybacks instead. Our portfolios were rewarded. Did Chinese carmakers increase shareholder value like US automakers? Nope. America for the win! 🥇
Seems like a trap. Domestic industry and all. Clinton paved the way though..
I’ll take a Xiaomi SU7. But, alas….
If you won’t buy a Tesla, a high quality, reasonably priced, made in America EV that drives itself and has an excellent charging network, for political/ethical reasons related to Elon Musk and instead would buy a BYD, you are a hopelessly ignorant fool.
Forget US, which is a 1st world country, Chinese EV’s are cheaper than comparable vehicles in third world countries like India.
I’d like one. Especially one with 500+ mile range, because America’s EV charging infrastructure sucks. I currently have a PHEV and it seems like at least half the charging ports I try to use away from home are out of order, if I can find one at all.
It would be stupid to let Chinese EVs into America. American car companies simply need to build cheaper EVs.
But let’s be realistic. It was be insanely stupid to allow Chinese EVs into America.
I’m just waiting for trump to praise the many benefits of using leaded gas and paints.
As of late 2025, over 50% of new passenger cars sold in China are New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), which include battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids.
So we don’t!
“Oh but chinas subsidizing their manufacturing”
Why the fuck would I be against China subsidizing the global green transition? I just want to buy a cheap EV dammit
Lots of stuff Americans can have, like affordable healthcare. Saw a post recently about a rare disease’s price being increased to $10k range. The same generic from india is available here for $134.00, The US citizen is fucked.
We don’t want them. China has a military agenda that comes with their EV offerings. The objective is not to build and sell a vehicle for profit, environmental impact or even engineering marvel…China wants to put an end to US automakers. They want US production factories to close. The United States would not have won WWII without the conversion of our factories, specifically factories in the automotive sector, into factories support the war by making everything from munitions to vehicles to equipment and everything else that needed to be built in mass quantities. So strategically China wants to handicap our future war fighting abilities by taking out our biggest support system our American factories and specifically our auto-making factories.
This is also why the US through Trump has closed off the US market to Chinese EV’s. Trump is well aware of their military strategy and does not want to open our economy to their cars. Also, why Trump took such a strong position with Canada. Canada is opening their markets and smiling as they do it either blissfully unaware, spitefully indifferent or carelessly focused on their environment at the expense of their and the world’s great protector.
Say no to Chinese EV’s no matter how innovative and no matter how tempting their price points….they are factory killers.
Some? Just some?
No we don’t, we want fun V8s, not boring EVs.
