So if a Canadian owns a Chinese EV and wants to drive to the states, Michigan Democrats want those cars turned around? They’re already suffering from reduced tourism from Canada and now their scared that the Chinese EV on the highway is gonna steal vital information?
Talk about fear mongering.

Not particularly surprising. Democrat or Republican; both are beholden to their corporate stakeholders. In Michigan where the auto sector is an economic lifeline for many, I have to assume they are skittish about the idea of Chinese EVs entering the market there.
But this alarmism is just silly.

Every Tesla I’ve ever passed has recorded me without consent on behalf of their trillionaire fascist overlord. When are we banning Teslas

“the bill targets both the sale of Chinese EVs in the U.S. and vacationers who might drive one into America.”
How stupid are they? They are thousands crossing the border daily from Mexico! Its widely sold there

Fine with me, I don’t want to go to that state (or any, really, but Michigan is the bottom of the list for sure) anyway.

When a superpower is in decline, it will do everything in its power to demonize a rising one, regardless of how absurd it might look.
Half of Americans are already indoctrinated into a religious crusade, while the other half keeps thinking that it’ll be alright once Trump is gone. Overall, it seems that a majority of Americans are disconnected from reality.

I think people need to start realizing that the „51st state“ nonsense is bipartisan. When Trump stated that North America should be under American jurisdiction, it gave license to these cretins to start telling us how to live our lives.
The fact that they don’t want to even SEE Chinese EVs is some 1984 shit. And it’s not like other cars have surveillance capabilities as well. I’m sure the NSA/CIA can hack into peoples cars.
Though with this bill, a Chinese firm could do the funniest thing and buy 15% of Ford and all Fords become illegal in the US.

I remember when Americans used to be proud and confident in their auto industry. Now they cower in fear of Chinese cars, whom they know they can’t compete with.

See, Americans? This is why we’re not coming back, even when Trump is out of power. Because it’s not just a Trump problem. It’s not even just a Republican problem.

Just a reminder that Chinese EVs crossed into the US from Mexico for years, and the US didn’t really care.
The moment Canada gets Chinese EVs, the US politicians are panicking, and coming out with legislation like this. SMH.

That also describes Teslas, most other modern vehicles. Don’t forget that your phone is also a surveillance device that you carry everywhere. That’s why you can’t carry them into secured zones. The procedures already exist to prevent Chinese vehicle from posing a security risk, this is just vice signaling.
