What a coincidence! I work for a 3D printer farm with about 2000 printers. We have had all the different kinds, and we finally settled for the ender V3

Made in America. I can't understand that way of thinking. I buy the best option for myself, I don't care if it's made at home or on the other side of the world.
The thing is, cheap or expensive everything is made in china. You can buy a BYD and have state of the art technology in a car or a Chirey and pay peanuts for a car that does the job. Just like you can buy an iphone, made in china, or a Xiaomi for 50 bucks.
I don't understand why there are some people down voting you. The US auto industry products are relics from the 20th century and protecting it will make it worse. They'll still lose the global auto market.
It's really impressive the lack of knowledge in the US about china's products. I can definitely say you have never been inside a BYD or GWM EV. The US car brands have no chance of durvival, the government wants to give them time to die a slow death so employees and shareholders have time to relocate to other industries. The only problem I'd that the ones paying the price will be, as always, the US customers. Just to give you a point of reference, the price for a Tesla 3 equivalent in china is 20,000 USD, let that sink.
No, but I have seen absolutely impressive Huawei and Xiaomi Android phones.
Yes, Just like those awful iphones they also make.
I don't trust them since the rootkit they installed, without my consent, on my computer when playing a music CD decades ago!
American Cars look like relics from the last century when compared to Chinese design and capabilities, that is why the American car companies do not want Chinese brands in their market because there is no way they can compete with them.
Chinese brands just arrived in Mexico and it has been a massacre for american and European brands, a lot of car dealers have been closing lately and you can see in the streets that most new cars are Chinese. The Chinese dealers have impeccable service and the architecture is impressive. Prices are 1/3 of the European cars and 1/2 of the American Cars. The only ones that might be able to compete are japanese and Korean car companies.
While this is possible for a couple of years, it is definitely not sustainable in the middle term. If that was true, then Ericsson and Blackberry would still have the biggest market cap in smartphones and GM, Ford and Chrysler would be the biggest car companies in the world.
More Chinese cars for everyone else. It will be like the health industry, the US spends hundreds or thousands of dollars for an EpiPen that costs a few bucks anywhere else.
As long as you are a smart buyer and understand what you need Chinese companies will provide it. If you are looking for the lowest price then you'll get it, if you are looking for high standards, like the iphone smartphones, you'll get it as well. Same with EV cars. If you want a top quality EV you buy a BYD, if you want a piece of metal with a battery to take you places you can go as low as you want. But don't get me wrong, I really like that the US is blocking the EV cars from China because their market is very big and it would make the prices go up and the stocks would dry from everywhere else to supply the US market.
