"BUT THE CHINESE WILL SPY ON US"
Have you seen what the Yanks have been up to?
At least the Chinese cars are inexpensive
It's pragmatism, try it out some time
I wonder if us Yanks can come over the border and buy some too? I want a byd 😭
yes....but if we go there, we might also get a free trip to El Salvador too
Please stay there and put out your dumpster fire of a country
I would rather have neither be using my property to spy on me.
Agreed - my point is that if both are "not great", except one is cheaper....
China wins
China uses slavery and genocide to get ahead economically. Maybe we should be avoiding both.
I agree - got any ideas how to avoid that and still get reasonably priced electric cars?
America is out: "all you had to do was pay us enough to live"
Then why are we not investing in making it ourselves?
If any car manufacturer thought it was profitable it would happen.
if we waited for things to be profitable before making them we wouldn't have the roads for these cars to drive on
You're conflating infrastructure with consumer goods. Ask Stellantis how well the Dodge Charger EV is going (less than 2,000 units sold).
Because stellantis makes shitty vehicles in general.
Oh no, they will watch me driving back and forth to work every day.
Jesus fuck, this is the shit I heard back around 2006 wrt Facebook.
Should BYD vehicles be allowed on military bases, or carrying federal employees?
the yanks already do
