The best western EVs of tomorrow will come from the parts of the west most open to Chinese EV exports today — that is fundamentally how knowledge transfer works.
You are wrong on Trump's 200% tariff. The reason is if China invests in manufacturing in Mexico, their cars could be imported into the US for zero tariffs under USMCA so long as 75% of parts are from North America. Trump, of course, signed USMCA (the successor to NAFTA). Basically, Trump is threatening to not abide by USMCA which would cause Mexico, our largest trading partner, to retaliate. It would be a disaster.
Look man- BYD and CHinese EVs are ROLLING CHINESE SPY BALLOONS.
And the only way they are going to sell in the US is if they come with Tesla Smarts (cameras, computer, screens) and they have ZERO visibility into all the good stuff.
Stop crying about everything else- bc we're going to end up requiring all Chinese with CCP family in the West to DEFECT TO STAY. Denounce Xi and CCP or go back to China.
If you keep advocating letting CCP sensors into the US - you will end up on the wrong side of the next McCarthy trials.
Repeat after me: China doesn't get to sell anything network connected in the US.
I don't know the future but I know I don't want an EV from anyone unless it goes 500 miles on a single charge or there are fast charging stations along the route and neither seems likely to happen anytime soon in the Midwest. Gallapagos cars it is as far as I'm concerned. Now a self-driving car; that is something I'm prepared to make significant sacrifices to buy. Don't want high speed rail either; it just costs too much in areas with low population density.

Depressing story.
Democracy's broken. Capitalism's broken. Americans don't have a clue what's going on in the rest of the world.
As a result, millions more will die from climate change.
EV production, like any other industrial policy should be pursued with subsidies that do not distinguish between domestic and foreign sales.

They have chance if they are turned into production subsidies so that domestic sales are not more profitable than export sales.
