      I think I read that the US is considering tariffs or something to basically raise the cost of these cars for US consumers.

        There is already an effective 27.5% tariffs on cars made in China. They are still considering to raise it higher.

          Well I do t live in the US anymore and there are Chinese cars where I live. Additionally electric cars are just starting to hit the roads here, so hopefully, when my wife and o get a car, we can get an electric one.

      US I assume? We do get their buses and Semis. Have for years. So maybe we’ll get cars too? I won’t hold my breath though. I think we’ll count ourselves lucky if we get Nissans made in China once that plant opens.

    Most electric buses here in Madrid are BYD. I’ve yet to see any of their road cars on the road. Their cheapest model is 36k€.

    Good. Let’s see if Tesla buckles or spins out Musk.
