BYD would still have the cheapest EV in the US, even with a 100% tariff (electrek.co)

Even with the new 100% tariff on electric vehicles imported from China, BYD would still have the cheapest EV in the US. According to a new report, BYD’s lowest-priced EV would still undercut all US automakers at under $25,000.

After discontinuing the production of vehicles powered entirely by internal combustion engines in March 2022, BYD has been at the forefront of the industry’s shift to EVs.

Honestly in my opinion it is time to remove all tariffs on EVs under 25k and let anyone who wants to fill that slot in. American car manufacturers refuse to fill the market need.

Well, I agree with you, but china is a military threat to the US and its allies. Look at what happened in Lebanon today. The CCP would definitely use commodity technology to assassinate people.

You would be the first person I've heard blaming China for the pager attack.

Edit: yea, it's way better to baselessly suggest China would conduct a mass assassination

Dude, you're missing the context completely. It's an analogy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

But China is not any more or less likely than any other country to do this type of thing; it really seems like you're associating them with that terrorist attack for no particular reason other than to take advantage of people's imagination.

I don't even know why you'd jump to tie those two things together.

Yet the only example is of a western ally pulling that shit.
