I think there’s a lot of truth to this. Relatedly, it’s infuriating that American manufacturers are only interested in developing expensive, large, luxury EVs.

Relatedly, it’s infuriating that American manufacturers are only interested in developing expensive, large, luxury EVs. We slapped a 100% tariff on cheap Chinese EVs… but our domestic companies refuse to develop a $20,000 compact EV!
The cost of new cars in the US is insane. As is the protectionism of the industry. Give me cheap Japanese/Korean cars plzkthx.
- coliveira 2y agoThe whole idea behind tariffs on Chinese products is that cheap prices will NOT be tolerated. The US is stuck with expensive cars for the foreseeable future.
- leotravis10 2y agoThat's what I tried to tell you folks. Good luck finding a car in the US that is under $20,000 these days because you won't find it: https://www.motor1.com/features/710453/cheap-cars-dead/ https://www.motor1.com/features/710453/cheap-cars-dead/ Related discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39731164 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39731164 Dan Gillmor's thoughts: https://mastodon.social/@dangillmor/112102491028919681 https://mastodon.social/@dangillmor/112102491028919681 THIS is why we need Chinese automakers to keep the pressure on these US and EU automakers to produce cheaper cars again.
