>due to upcoming competition from china, chinese made tesla model 3s is going to be priced at $39,490 CAD ($29,050 USD) in CanadaThis is why competition is a good thing. Even if you don't like chinese cars, they'll still force other auto manufacturers to lower their prices in order to compete.https://www.engadget.com/2162731/tesla-starts-selling-chinese-made-model-3s-in-canada-at-lowest-price-ever/
>>28933725Cool buy a shitload of Chinese cars but make aftermarket components here in the US.
AMerican companies cannot afford lower prices because those are real market prices, this is anticompetitive dumping
>>28935407stellantis dealers regularly run 10k plus discounts on jeep and ram, 7k on the Pacifica
>>28933725Anyone that accepts Chinese cars into their country is giving the CCP an enormous attack vector on their citizenry and infrastructure.

>>28935407>China is paying you to buy their productsWeird that they’re not getting poorer.Electric cars are also a terrible product to try to dump due to their simplicity and longevity. Look at how the Cubans have kept their US ICE cars running for 80 years and know that changing batteries and electric motors is far easier. Trying a rug pull would actually help up because we’re addicted to disposing of entire cars and buying new ones rather than repairing the perfectly serviceable ones we have. Imagine what else we could buy if everyone wasn’t carrying a $50,000 84 month loan at 9% APY.
