      So, since china is evil and wrong for making an affordable car when elon doesn’t want them to, who is allowed to make an affordable electric car?

        Eh… What are you going on about? Dumping is wrong no matter who does it and there’s more than Tesla and Chinese offerings on the market.

          Dumping is wrong no matter who does it

          Right after biden put in his trumpian tariffs against an automaker to protect musk.

            If a country is dumping in your market and threatening your own industry you impose tariffs to compensate or you risk losing jobs and you’ll have a much bigger issue to deal with.

            I hope you’re not the kind of person that complains about the middle class disappearing because right now you’re defending what made it disappear.

            Also, welcome to the world, which isn’t just the US, this thread is about the European market where Biden didn’t impose tariffs.

              Cheap cars aren’t what killed the middle class.

              Nope. Just kicked open the door so trump could.

                Opening the door to Chinese stuff and killing the manufacturing industry in North America and Europe is one of the main things that killed the middle class.

                Trump didn’t impose tariffs on China in Europe either.

                You have a serious reading comprehension issue, you should go back up the chain and reread everything but this time take the time to actually understand the message.
