All cars are computers on the road at this point, not just EVs…
Comment on Undocumented 'Backdoor' Found In Chinese Bluetooth Chip Used By a Billion Devices.

They’ll utilize everything that democracy offers and use it against countries. They don’t have freedom of speech or press so they themselves are not victims of it. EVs are really just computers on the road. Flooding the market with Chinese EVs would just mean creating a massive free network on a foreign soil for them.

While technically true, that’s not what I meant. For example, Tesla Model 3 has AMD Ryzen chip. It is a full fledged computer CPU. Although my Toyota surely has a computer onboard, it’s nowhere close to this level of tech in the Tesla. EVs from China are at the same or higher level tech-wise compared to Teslas.

Summary: China is not a friend country. It’s a hostile country. Yes, we know.
But the news is… so is the USA to Canada now. A hostile country threatening to annex Canada and trying to cripple the economy as a way to achieve the goal. So either we slap 100% tariffs on US made cars, which would hurt Canadians, or we apply the same tariffs on Chinese cars, so reduce them from where they are at the moment.

All I meant was flooding the market with Chinese cars isn’t a huge security threat to the country. There’s another alternative. European cars.

As opposed to the teslas with the back doors for the us government… but will be moot when Canada is part of the states anyway
