Here's hoping they launder them through Mexico into the US.

Don't get me wrong: I would love to give American car companies my money, but they need to make something I want to buy and can afford. I don't want a $70,000+ monster truck or bus-sized SUV or ugly "crossover" that looks like a shoe.

Give me a reasonably priced EV sedan that doesn't line Musk's pockets and isn't an iPhone on wheels and I'll gladly fork over my money.

Once Mexico has manufacturing plants building Chinese badged vehicles, I think the dominoes will start to fall. Right now , it seems that Mexico is just importing cars assembled in China.

I believe there are already people doing something like that.

Something like not registering the car in Texas so it technically isn't imported. This is similar to all the people in the northeast with cars registered in Florida to avoid higher insurance premiums, but they're playing games with federal laws instead of state laws.
