To be at least be partially replaced by Chinese manufacturers, and potentially European. Honestly American cars are such shit anyway it's better we move away from them.

So far the concerns I've seen are that the Chinese will spy on you, as if that isn't already the case with our "ally".

And given how incredibly simple minded these CEO types are (and we know they are, given their reaction to "AI" and how "incredible" it is), I fully expect it's just him kissing the ring, more than it's that there are a lack of orders from Canada.

I've been saying it since they started this tariff bs... if they want to kill our auto industry then why should we even consider buying American cars. My opinion on Chinese EV's did a complete 180 when this shit started.

The US auto industry has been on life support for decades. If it weren't for Michigan being a swing state, the Big Three would be the Big Two or the Big One.
