The competition is welcome. We need it to continue to drive innovation. At least in America, traditional American brands haven't put out anything interesting for years. Just the same models being rehashed, but slightly bigger and more fuel efficient.
Except the US will do everything possible to prevent them from being sold domestically, while still pushing their brands globally. This will lead to a further split in what’s available in the US vs ROW.
There is no way they will be able to prevent people from going to Mexico to buy them though. And that's what is being predicted.
Unless they come up with something that prevents them from getting DoT certification, sadly I can see them doing that. Or as long as they keep citing “national security” you won’t be able to.
Registration of prohibited car models is not allowed. You might be able to import them, but there might be punitively high tariff and it would not be legal to drive
Yes they will. In Washington State, you have to pay WA sales tax to register a new car you bought in Oregon.
How is making someone pay sales tax stopping them from buying a car in Mexico? Unless they're going to stop all Mexican cars at the Washington border...
Because the tax for that specific car will be 300%
You have a poor understanding of sales tax bud
Tariff *
If you just enter the state with the car? I'm not sure what you're suggesting. Are Mexicans who drive their car from Mexico City to Seattle expected to pay this 300% tax? Are they going to check the citizenship of every driver?
You can’t drive a car that is unregistered. You can’t register the car in Mexico, get plates, come up here and expect to drive it around. Eventually when you have to register it, you’ll get a bill.
you won't be able to register it anywhere in the united states; which means that you won't be legally allowed to drive it unless you garage it every night at a mexican address.
You think people with cars registered in Mexico have to go back to Mexico every night?
Mexicans can't drive their cars further into the United States than a 12-hour drive? You really think that?
it's required to by law; only presidents are allowed to break the law. lol
Please do show me the law that Mexicans have to return their car to Mexico every night. I would like to see this law.
Nowhere does that even suggest that Mexicans have to return to Mexico within 24 hours if they drive here from Mexico. That's just not a law. I have no idea why you think Mexicans can't legally drive from Tijuana to New York City, but they can, despite that taking over 40 hours.
They can even drive to Toronto. That would take even longer. And then they can go back through Canada and through the U.S. and back to Mexico and they can stay in the U.S. as long as their travel visa allows.
I have no idea why you think they can only get 12 hours from Mexico by car before they have to turn back.
read it, it's right there in the law: the car has to be qualified by american import restrictions and standards; which these cars do not have and will never get.
the only way to legally drive is it is to return it to a garage out of state and all of the states have similar laws.
The competition is welcome
the 100% tariff enacted recently says otherwise
Even at 100% the Chinese EVs can be sold cheaper here they will leak in slowly. Chinese EV goes for as little as $12k sooo even at 100% thats cheaper as the lowest cost EV here are almost 3x that
Well, that apparently means the government that did that doesn't agree with me.
they're blocked in the united states and canada due to a 100% tariff and also mostly blocked in western europe using tariffs other protectionist means; there will be no innovation for you nor anyone that speak english natively.
English-speaking Africans: guess I'll die
Hopefully not.
China has over procedured EVs because government subsidize resulting in poor manufactured cars with a lot malfunctions + safety requirements are very lose in China.
The goal is to flood the market, so they competitions can't sell their cars and eventually lose market share.
The problem with that statement is they aren't shitty cars. They're a generation ahead of US tech and way cheaper.
I'd drive a BYD if I could get my hands on one.
Might be cheap, but they are not ahead in tech. Especially when use their own semiconductors 😂
You should watch the flood of videos from China about Chinese EVs.
Recommend this YouTuber that share those videos

Why China Can’t Censor and is Panicking about this EV Disaster
Well, this is the fault of the western car brands. They fough transition to EVs with tooth and nail. They wanted to keep fossil fuel cars at all costs. And now they either have nothing at all, or they have to scramble to keep up.
The rest of the world needs to match Chinas wages if they want to sell more shitty cars.
GM did a stock buy back last month of 6 billion dollars.
What are chinas wages? My understanding are they have low wages so they can pump out cheap products?
