Good to see a little competition to come to North America. These companies are raping us here.
There's tons of competition in NA from companies located all over the world.
What China is trying to do is decimate the market by undercutting everyone long enough that they can put them out of business, which is why they're trying to sell them way below cost. Let's see them compete here only using the same subsidies that everyone else gets because once they accomplish their goal, the situation is going to be much worse for us than it is now.
Companies in North America have not provided low cost EVs. China is doing that.
Ok, you did your duty to the CCP for today, comrade.
Yeah the good ol China bad argument, very scientific.
Ya know if you hate someone just cause their race, it does in fact make you racist - even of they're the 'bad guys'
I just fuckin wish we had more competition earlier, the current US centric market for everything ever sucks
Wow, "not liking the CCPs unfair trade practices makes you a racist" is the most dogshit take I've seen on Lemmy. And that's saying something.
Hey might wanna look at your reading comprehension then, hating China 'cause China' is racist - judging them for their race.
Hating them for being competition is facist.
Isn't there some concept of a free market or are you too much if a commie for that?
Holy shit, the hits just keep coming! Do another one!

Quite the opposite is happening. EVs from the same make usually are sold at 50 to 100% markup outside of China. It seems more like the international market is subsidising Chinese EVs instead.
