Outside of USA and Mexico, dont see to many US cars. Even in Mexico, BYD from china is gaining
When you ban major competition and apply tariffs to everybody importing things you get what we have now all companies building pickup trucks price at 80 to thousand dollars and nobody really making affordable Vehicles anymore
Nio/Onvo/Firefly!!
We need to get rid of our dependence on oil. This war with Iran shows you what happens when someone else holds us over a barrel. They can charge us whatever they want, and since we are dependent on oil, we’ll just have to keep paying those high gas prices. Don the Con keeps trying to take us back in time, but we need to move forward and not keep looking backward. Is he getting kickbacks from the oil companies?
what battle? China HAS electric vehicle dominance...
Now, Musk is selling Model 3 from China in Canada at 29K USD.
US needs to ban Chinese cars due to national insecurity issue.
I don’t get the western obsession over byd. Yes it sells a lot but mostly low end market. Ordinary Chinese white collars are looking at brands like Nio, Xpeng, Li Auto, Aito, zeekr and xiaomi because they represent most advanced ev technologies.
NO More Rare Earth Materials for USA - Michigan State - Tesla, and NVIDIA
Good job Trump Admin!! Why let Americans get a good deal on EVs when gas is over $5 gallon? Instead force Americans to buy crappy Detroit auto products to make a few rich guys richer!! Well done.
🤔 BYD Blade Battery 2.0 is the best in the world 💯
Nah. Let Americans drive American cars only. Let Chinese drive Chinese cars only.
In the United States we are waiting for the electric grid to start failing 😂😂😂😂😂
It’s not a hard battle to win if your opponent demonizes the technology.
There is no security risk from Chinese evs. They can get all information they need from everything out there now. Elon is in bed with the government and they don't want to hurt his bank account. BYD destroys Tesla sales, better looking vehicles, more models, more tech, better quality, faster charging....12 min or less, half the price, and better quality build.
😂these Americans still think the car factory needs people to work in a factory 😅
I am waiting for my Chinese vehicle before I buy another car. NIO
Another story heavy on the innuendo with almost no substance.
“Few Americans have ever done.” Except for the loads of YouTubers and car influencers…
Why are you guys promoting Chinese products instead of condemning greedy American and European companies who had all the opportunities to provide better cars cheaper cars instead of paying unnecessary fat commissions to themselves
