I’ve heard they are good cars but the price is manipulated.

so… how much did does the us government give its auto industry?
They gave us auto companies 81 billion between 2008 and 2014, and continue to subsidize the industry to this day.

BYD recieved 3.7 billion between 2018-2022 2.2 billion in 2022 alone.
Ford recieved under 500 million in 2022 but did recieve 1.7 billion in 2023.
Ford motor apparently has only recieved 7.7 billion in subsidies since the year 2000. Usually from states rather than fedrally.

Yet we don’t try to sell into the Chinese market for the express purpose of undercutting their domestic product. It’s common sense to not allow that to happen.

They don’t because no one would pay double the price for a worse vehicle dude….
People are free to import and buy them, what don you think is stopping them…?

China is making and selling a vehicle at an impossibly cheap price because they are artificially manipulating the international price. Thats the only issue.
It’s weird that people can’t understand this BUT when a megacorp does it we all can see it.
It’s fair to call market manipulation for what it is, even if it’s the USA doing it or China doing it or META doing it. We don’t have to pretend.
