That feels like "robbing Peter to pay Paul". We don't want to be dependent on either nationalist autocracy.
I dont think there is a single privacy friendly EV on the market.
If a Canadian company could build and export an EV that wasn't loaded with invasive sensors and where the data recording and uploading was opt-in (or non existent), loads of US Americans and Europeans would import them from Canada.
I think you can expand that to all cars, not just EVs.
I hope aptera will save us.
I think we should build them ourselves.
Canada has the same incentive to not open the door to Chinese EVs that the US does.
Why would they shoot themselves in the face just to splash some blood on someone else?
Canada doesn't have the incentives that the Americans have at all. Correct me if I'm wrong. America's incentive is to protect its own EV industry, Canada doesn't have an EV industry of its own.
You're wrong. Just the nature of of the auto industry makes it a little confusing since the entirety of a car isn't manufactured in one country. But there are a lot of components for EVs manufactured in Canada. There's especially a focus on manufacturing batteries for EVs which is the single most important component in an EV. And more plants for battery manufacturing are under construction.

Why can't you guys make your own? Its not hard. Musk figured it out.
No he didnβt. They were already making them when he got there.
musk didn't build anything.
I mean, we literally can and have (as a concept car). Should I link my recent post here about it?
Tesla stands no chance to compete with Chinese vehicles. It's wild how high quality and cheap these Chinese cars are.
I wouldn't really call the high quality tbh. At least better than Tesla.
Supposedly, the quality is amazing. Here in the Netherlands, a car called Zeekr is making the rounds. They're supposed to be terrific cars. And that's a brand I had never heard of until a few weeks ago
