  1. Teslas are bad cars 2. Tesla isn't a car company

  Do many people hold the view that Chinese cars are cheaper because of subsidies? Seems pretty obvious that the world's largest market, with a huge manufacturing base, lower wages, industrial policy, and weak yuan all combine to make cheap cars. As a US citizen, I'm happy that China is transforming the global auto market. I just wonder how long it will take to rip the tariff band-aid off.
