Some congressional aides and auto lobbyists believe that if Democrats win control of Congress, there may not be enough time to approve the Chinese vehicle ban before this session ends in December.
“We need to protect the US market from a flood of Chinese imports that carry surveillance risk and disadvantage current manufacturers that have made generational investments in American communities.”

Man, all the damage to our society done either directly or at the behest of American automakers has given me very little sympathy for them. Millions of people have died from poor technology. Death of public transit. The entire suburban housing pyramid scheme crippling the American dream. All of it can be laid at the feet of the auto and oil…

Nikkei of Japan took apart a BYD, meticulously documented every part, created a manufacturing analysis and sold the document for $6k a copy. The Japanese manufacturers distributed hundreds of copies of the book to its engineers in order to compete with the Chinese. The US manufacturers lobbied congress to ban the car.

This. They are basically pricing it that because they can. Especially, the actual primary culprit behind high prices - monopolistic middlemen stealerships from the 1900s; which we are forced to buy from. For all the shit Tesla gets, being able to buy direct, is going to be a MASSIVE reason that I am considering them for my next choice.

Post WWII the US sent a man named Deming to Japan to introduce production management and quality standards. Toyota held Deming as God for generations. I'm a analysts, in my Masters program I studied Deming and his impact on Japans production management.

The US will have mediocre and expensive cars while the rest of the world transitions to cheap and efficient EVs. US automakers were bailed out because of the Japanese fuel-efficient cars. Why can’t they just compete and sell cars around the world?

It’s not about what we want (they don’t care). It’s about what vehicles have the highest margins. They know we need transportation so we have to buy something. Shareholder profits are higher if they don’t offer low margin options.

The industry group asking for this includes pretty much every OEM not named Tesla. I doubt Toyota would be down, even if a big chunk of their production is in the US south.

Finance bros fucked those workers by prioritizing the graph line going up using financial tricks instead of by producing a better product. It’s not our fault.

In 2000, buying a new car consumed roughly 48.5% of the nominal median annual household income. By 2025, that metric skyrocketed to 57.3%. You're wrong.

The world is rapidly passing the US automakers by. Banning imports will only accelerate this movement.
