Chinese competition is needed to keep domestic manufacturers from becoming complacent.
For those concerned about "selling the car at a loss" that happens with all new cars. Ford "loses" $36,000 per EV sold.
This is simply wrong. If it was true, then merchants would not care about credit card fees!
Now I wonder if this is not just bitter old women but a calculated plot by our enemies to damage American society. Maybe it's a little bit of both.
Every twelve years, the parachute and deployment rocket has to be replaced, at a cost of $20-30K.
