You are right, but you miss one critical part. EU did not impose those same tariffs on Tesla, which arguably disrupted the EU EV market even heavier, which is in very similar category, especially now that Elon is basically the president.
- tpm 2y ago> EU did not impose those same tariffs on Tesla Presumably it didn't have evidence Tesla is receiving unfair help from the Chinese state. It had such evidence for other manufacturers. Also, Tesla has a factory in the EU. Soon, the Chinese manufacturers will have factories too.
- olelele 2y agoDidn’t Tesla survive its first 10 years on selling government credits?
- tpm 2y agoPossibly, the important thing though is whether that is classified as an unfair advantage by the EU. The European tariffs on Chinese EV producers were calculated precisely on the amount of unfair advantage received for each one. Also just had a look and Tesla has indeed been burdened with a tariff of 7.8% (for vehicles built in China), compared to 17% of BYD, 18% Geely and 20% to 35% for other companies. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_5589 https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_...
