It's just a matter of time. China is making ev like android phones. Other countries are also catching up. The high profit margin of Tesla cannot last forever

I'm just concerned about battery safety with Chinese EVs. I've seen more than a few video clips of Chinese EVs just spontaneously catching fire (not from an accident).

I would be more confident in owning a Chinese-made EV if it conforms to appropriate battery safety standards, and that those standards are enforced by USA regulations.

I'm sure at least half the problems with the Chinese EVs are the inadequate regulatory environment created by the PRC.

BYD appears to be the leader re battery safety.

It's not a matter of time, cars and the car industry are treated as national security. Chinese EV cars will be even more tariffed in US and Europe in 2024/2025

We were talking about Tesla's profit margin and evaluation in the thread. Not sure if you replied to the wrong post

Ah, your statement sounds like Chinese EVs were inevitable

The competition is inevitable. It comes from everywhere

Will tariffs work if BYD does final assembly of vehicles in Mexico?
