    With such a history of Fraud & low quality, most might think Chinese electric cars are banned because of poor safety & unreliability.

    This shocker might change people's minds



    Long story short, it looks like we are losing the race
    :(

    I figured it was just to keep our mfg base from shrinking even more, and profits at home

    Big 3 maintain a moderately small but important number of middle class jobs, demand that keeps metal, mining, recycling, plastics at above sustainment levels so they aren’t totally lost and an investment vehicle for money with nowhere to go.

    Lots of critical domestic infrastructure type industries depend on the auto sector to exist, even if auto isn’t their primary buyer.

    If auto goes away we will slip down to an African level of finished parts and processed raw materials availability
