        I really don’t see how it could be any worse than US manufacturers. Every person I’ve ever known with a domestic has that shit in the shop for mechanical work at least once or twice a year. I would gladly gamble on a Chinese EV over any US made vehicle any day of the week. US manufacturers would try to cut corners off a circle.

          Not to mention all the shit they pull to make it difficult to work on yourself at home. Proprietary software to reset codes, oil changes require specialized equipment, comber some processes to do simple work, parts are difficult to find, parts are more likely to fail sooner, and now pay walls are getting setup. At least they’ve made 80 month loans available so people can “afford” them now.

    …maybe some clarification…but didn’t the supreme court strike down tarrifs… so why are they still in place for these?

      Supreme Court struck down tariffs enacted by the President under one particular law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which Trump used to add tariffs to almost everything coming in from every country.

      There are longstanding tariffs that are authorized by other laws, on specific countries like China, or on specific goods like lumber or steel or vehicles or semiconductors, unaffected by the Supreme Court ruling.

        Ahh…that’s right. I knew there was something simple I was missing… silly me, wishing for an affordable EV before having coffee and making sure Daddy Warbucks consented to my not enriching the oligarchy.

        Thanks for the info, neighbor.
