why can't these lazy ceos compete with chinese evs? i'd be cool with jeets stealing tech jobs if i could buy an ev for $12,000 - it'd cancel out. almost like it's rules for thee, not for me > byd   d-auto-seagull-auto-ev-cae20c92432b 74e95c234d93ec1df400 > $10,000-$12,000 chinese ev that drives well and is put together with craftsmanship that rivals u.s.-made evs that cost 3x as much. > elon musk told industry analysts chinese evs are so good that without trade barriers, they will pretty much demolish most other car companies in the world. > byd evs arent being sold in the u.s. now largely because of 27.5% tariffs on the sale price of chinese vehicles when they arrive at ports. donald trump slapped on the bulk of the tariff, 25%, when he was president, and it was kept in place under joe biden. trump contends that the rise of evs backed by biden will cost u.s. factory jobs, sending the work to china. > u.s. politicians and manufacturers already see chinese evs as a serious threat. the biden administration on tuesday is expected to announce 100% tariffs on electric vehicles imported from china, saying they pose a threat to u.s. jobs and national security. > the alliance for american manufacturing says in a paper that government subsidized chinese evs could end up being an extinction-level event for the u.s. auto sector. > some members of congress are urging biden to ban imports of chinese vehicles, while others have proposed even steeper tariffs. this includes vehicles made in mexico by chinese companies that now would come in largely without tariffs.
