Makes perfect sense when you see some of the build quality.
Why buy some shoddy slapped together EV at luxury prices when actual car manufacturers have EV options.
The only issue is that car manufacturers are doing the same thing. Make it look like a Tesla, but it doesn't have an engine so we don't need to worry about anything else, but shiny luxury looking. And now it's an EV. It's unfortunate Tesla set the standard.
AMERICAN car manufacturers are doing that.
Which is why we have to have 100% tarries on Chinese EVs.
Because they'd kill like two or three different domestic markets.
They'd be the most popular electric car, most popular sedan and most popular commuter vehicle.
💯 the tariffs aren't even the issue. You could sell Chinese EVs at the same cost as everything else and they still would be #1. It's that they still aren't street legal.
Because we are very careful to make sure they aren't street legal through legislation.
The fucking cybertruck is street legal, giant pick up trucks with blind spots lager than children are street legal.
