The pretense for all this is that we can’t have Chinese cars in the US because they’re all connected devices which China could be monitoring or manipulating. Obviously the only thing they actually care about is avoiding competition.

Personally, I’d find it hilarious if the result of all this was that a couple of Chinese companies released some decent quality, budget friendly EVs with no connected features. It’s the kind of vehicle that a lot of people want but that the big American auto companies aren’t interested in making.

At this point, I think I’d trust China with my data before any US company.

The US companies have already proven to be untrustworthy, willing to actively assist fascism, etc. at the expense of anyone and everything.

At least China isn’t going to give my info to ICE.

Definitely yes, everything in America is far beyond repair I don’t believe that China is the answer ether. Their are a lot of cool shiny things you see in China, but there’s just as much bad and horrific things going on there too as well. That being said I wouldn’t mind being able to purchase one of these Chinese EVs They actually look cool well priced and fun.
