This is the actual reason Musky is riding the Cheeto Train. If Harris wins sanctions and tariffs are much less likely and Tesla can't actually compete on a global scale. But hey, I'm no financial expert.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

BYD can't sell personal vehicles in America, because the US government thinks American companies (where the CEO lives, not where cars are made) can't compete with BYD.
It doesn't matter which party is in office, they both take money to keep BYD out.
I would buy one of these in a heartbeat.
So much for the "free market," I guess.
I would have before the terrifs, now it's not affordable
Got a chance to ride in a BYD EV this summer. Impressive vehicle, doubly so for the price.
Yesterday someone posted a screenshot of the price of a fully trimmed ID3 costing 63K €. Mind you ID3 is a small compact car. That's absolutely insane, and then VW is wondering why their profit and sales are sliding down the drain. They were supposed to be producing mass market affordable cars.
I don't think that those tariffs will help much, and it will be counterproductive in the long term for the European car industry.
Asking out of curiosity, has there been a solution to electric vehicles in street parking heavy areas? Where I live, something like 90% of residential buildings are owned by a corporation, so only the super rich have driveways. But I see Teslas parked on the street absolutely everywhere
My wife & I just spent a week in London, where there are plenty of cars but very little off-street parking. We saw a significant number of EV’s ranging from Tesla’s & other cars, to taxis, double decker busses, and the occasional truck/lorry. We spotted one or two Tesla super charger stations as we made our way around the city, as well as a very small number of public parking spaces along roads that had either chargers or just outlets to plug chargers into.
What little I saw certainly didn’t seem like a lot, but they clearly seem to have some sort of grasp on the situation given the number of EV’s we saw…
