    Some of my coworkers and I did the math and they’re still cheaper than pretty much every US EV we could buy even with the 100% tariff.

      In the holy free market there would be no competition. But if this makes people buy too many Chinese EVs I imagine tariffs will just go up. The same tired old response by western capital. It’s hilarious because capital slowly took apart the nation state and thereby totally crippled the national system. The same system they used to benefit from the public funding of. The pipeline was public funding for research that was then passed off at a fraction of the cost to the “innovators” and privatized. And they broke the system themselves. Truly the greatest minds of our generation.
