they should expect more if they continue to refuse to adapt to the $11k EV's that are flooding the world except for the united states and canada.

biden and kamala are not going to be there forever forcing 100% tariffs on EV's forever to protect them.

I'm pretty sure the main type of people that want an ev don't buy in to the whole 'big man need bug truck' schtick and would prefer lighter efficient vehicles. Compact chassis with less bulbous plastic parts, no software bloat, all features not required for safety optional, and not stupidly overpriced like literally everything available in us and canada.

I would love an electric truck, but maybe the size of the original Ford ranger. I hate how difficult it is to drive and park those monstrous trucks they make these days for zero reason whatsoever.

ranger is exactly the ideal size of electric truck for my preferences. for some brands remaking old collector cars like some fancy diy conversions but by the original maker would also be super cool

Maybe if their EVs didn't suck... They should learn from the competition

Aren’t just about all of their evs practically luxury vehicles when you look at the gd price? China knows wtf they’re doing, our companies are still too greedy and stupid
