U.S. Dealers In Full Panic Mode After Canada Green-Lights Chinese Cars

[MARC NORDLUND]

Sorry, America is supposedly a free market not the tax/tariff ridden shit show it is now. 

May the best manufacturer of EVs WIN, along with US consumers due to more CHOICES/Competition. 

I want my Xiaomi SU7 dammit! 😁😁😁

This reminds me of the Ford Bronco EV available (or soon to be) in China with ~400 mi range.

I keep seeing non-EV versions around and catch myself thinking oh that would make a good EV… 🙃

Exactly. The Chinese Ford Bronco EV looked awesome.

Looks like Trump's high tariffs are starting to backfire. His goal was to bring manufacturing back to the US. It was never going to work and if it did not in less than 4 years. When you can't get a reasonably priced product from your favorite supplier, you start shopping elsewhere. 

 

Here's a piece of the ridiculousness. Back in August I bought 32Gb of memory for my computer at $105. Today that exact same memory is $437. 

 

The Chinese cars were always going to come. The US makers aren't willing to make all of the vehicle types America needs. When that happens there's a void that will be exploited by newcomers.
