Almost like we should focus on making the US better / competitive instead of trying to succeed by blocking others.
Don't we get a ton of components and raw materials required for EVs from China already?

That's against the interests of the u.s capitalists.

Yes but they get shoved into dogshit u.s cars who's prices are raised many times more than the cost it was to make the damn things to scalp the average American of more of their dwindling wealth
-
That's why German automakers are pissed off with the EU Commission lol
They want to compete, but von der Leyen doesn't let them.

Bit difficult when you're paying one part time worker $50b a year.

haha, ya... Such well placed money there.

America literally manufactures cars in China but wants to ban chinese cars. America ruthlessly attacks anything that threatens its world domination one bit. Death to America.

some japanese & korean automakers have teamed together to do that and i suspect that they'll be ahead of the curve of whatever the markets look like 10 years from now; meanwhile the the us and western europe is going to rely on tariffs that will only leave their automakers less prepared for what's coming.

The corporate christofascists and their GOP stooges are doing everything they can to stop electric vehicle production and adoption in the US. They're doing the same thing with renewable energy. It's all about keeping the money flowing to the rich for at long as possible no matter what the long term costs to the country, the planet, or the non-wealthy. Most ofter countries not run by corporate fascists are adopting EVs and renewable as fast as they can. The US is going to become a dirty, underdeveloped country run by theocratic dictators and there is very little that can be done to stop it and very little time to do it.

Okay not that I'm suggesting the GOP is any good, but Biden set a 100% import tax on Chinese EVs and sent Yellen to complain about the overproduction of Chinese renewables.
They both protect American megacorp interests because they are both lobbied by the same companies.

I thought the main problem was unfair competition from subsidized car makers. The same problem as de European car market.
-
That's just their cover story for their base. It's actually about protecting the US auto and oil and gas industries and keeping profits flowing to the right people.

Yeah, like Kore- oh wait

Please America. Please scuttle NAFTA over your dinosaur pickup truck industry. Nothing would be funnier.
-
They'll just come up with some china exclusive work around law that's 700 pages and bundled with a bunch of draconian bullshit laws.

Damn sounds like the most equitable solution would be to ban car imports and domestic production. Starting a ~20year clock where the suburbs die on the vine without the huge fuel and unsustainable infrastructure subsidies that currently make them viable.
-
Ruthless capitalism for thee, protectionism for me
-
Maybe if US automakers were making fairly priced cars this wouldn't be an issue?
-
Good.

Ahhhhh, the old Walmart-Amazon--Kroger Maneuver...wonder where they learned that
