Anyway, while we're talking about $1,000,000 Benzes and $100,000 Cybertrucks, China is selling $10,000 BYDs to checks notes pretty much everyone except us. 🤷🏿‍♂️

They are also thin in the ground in #Germany, where our new conservative government promotes internal combustion cars as "a technology with a long future ahead of it". #Merz#Reiche

@mekkaokereke Warren Buffett didn't invest in BYD because he likes throwing money around. And the only reason he has sold part of his stake is the trade war nonsense.

@mekkaokereke Here in Mexico City I probably see 50 BYDs for every Tesla. (That's just an impression, I don't have a Tual statistics.)

Chinese slave labor can and would destroy every American manufacturing industry. I don’t have a problem with some protectionism in this regard keeping union workers in the US employed.

@mekkaokereke I don't know what the tariff on cars made in China, including BYD, was in the first Trump Administration, but it was 100% during the Biden Administration, so it is not only a Trump 47 policy.
