Of course we do. The North American offerings are comically inferior while costing a small ransom.

We should stop propping up these companies that can't exist without protectionism and corporate welfare handouts.

Massive bailouts on the taxpayer dime in 2008'ish didn't do anything to improve the situation.

I'm sorry, but how do you think the Chinese EV companies are so competitive right now?

They are subsidized at a great loss by the Chinese government. One of the goals is to flood foreign markets with products at price points that domestic suppliers can't compete with.

Would you say that is good for either the economy or EV prices in the long term?

They don't use Chinese government subsidies only. Theres also slave labor
