    Me waiting for Chinese automakers to flood the U.S. market with $10k electric cars despite massive trade tariffs because it’s literally only a matter of time before they can make it profitable to do so by building in Mexico and then seeing all the domestic automakers shitting bricks because they steal a huge market share

      best part of this scenario is that the US manufacturers use their hybrid/ev lines to subsidize their trucks. China taking US ev market share would raise truck prices comparative to evs starting a self reinforcing cascade destroying the entire US auto industry without government intervention (there would be though because the brainworms run deeep)
