Me: Fine, I’ll even buy a stupid American car.
American car makers: Oh no we don’t make cars, we have SUVs and Trucks.

️@philip @mekkaokereke I wanted an electric car and there are almost no options in the US. Fortunately used Polestar 2s are relatively well priced. Honestly the nicest car I've ever owned. China knows how to make good cars. They're going to do the same thing with EVe the Japanese did in the 70s and 80s with small ICE cars

White people: MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! MANUFACTURING JOBS! BLOOD AND SOIL!
China: here are some manufacturing jobs, in America, that will make modern cost-effective personal transportation more available

@mekkaokereke
It's not even Cybertrucks. They're basically done.
Production and sales of F150s and Silverados and Tacomas, on the other hand, is booming. It's going to take decades for the current few years of giant ICE vehicles to age out of the fleet. -

@mekkaokereke The logical conclusion is that no country with a car industry should allow the import of US cars. Ya know, to protect their own workers.
Imagine the pearl clutching that would ensue. -
