I went to paste the link from TikTok and others seem to see it. You don’t actually have to go to TikTok to see it. Maybe if you have a TikTok account that’s maybe why you see it I don’t know.

Lots of cool features. Kinda like the looks. The interior color though is not my style.

Elmo was right about one thing - if BYD could enter the US market without tariffs, they'd eat the competition alive. Not so much with this $150k beast, but with their mainstream offerings that are excellent.

I'm in favor of just 1 or 2 Chinese manufacturers entering the US market. Make them build their cars with US labor. Win-win for everyone; forces US manufacturers to improve and only benefits the customers here.

Just look at how Ford was forced to slash prices on the Mach-E when Tesla cut theirs.

I’m in favor of them playing our game……as long as they play by the same rules.

But they don’t.

And don’t be praising the Tesla and Mach E price cuts yet. We have only just begun to see the fallout.

The end result will be failing EV divisions, cancelled product launches and…… bankruptcies.

Just a glimpse of the current EV issues-

Add China to the mix and it’ll be even worse.

Now if they did what you said, built cars in the US with US labor like Honda, BMW etc, that would be interesting.

So you’re saying the Mustang EV will be eventually a dinosaur and I’m gonna have a charging station on my wall for what reason lol?

I’m saying that’s a potential future if we let Chinese EVs into the US market.

Our EV market is hanging on by a thread at the moment and the path to profitability is a rough road ahead.

We need these companies to make money if we want them to continue to build products.
