This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
But I truly want them here. I work in the automotive industry and yeah, they’re scared shitless. However, from my point of view it seems like a greed thing. It would drive competition hard and that would mean short to medium term r&d cost increases.
We are so fucking far behind it’s not even funny. Shutting out the competition is just putting our head in the sand. It is time to get into gear.
"thriving car company not selling in the U.S. says it exists"
Well yeah, we know it's doing well and it isn't here... Why would the title even need to be stated?
To remind pedohitler that his country is not the center of the world and that others can in fact survive and thrive without him.
Pedohitler is a nice word, gonna steal it.
Isn't there another post where it shows the cars in the USA are spying on you, triggering an alarm when it detects that you are tired and what not "technological advancements" they put in them?
Hey China, you are welcome to sell me your clean cheap car!
BYD doesnt sell cars in the US according to the article so no, I don't think BYD is spying on you.
However that other post you're thinking of was possibly the one about the US manufacturers being forced to build in the spyware by the US govt...
Kinda the opposite to your direction of travel in tge post it seems to me ?
They don’t sell cars but they do sell their electric buses here. So at least are getting quieter buses.
They'll be selling BYD's in Canada very soon. I wonder how that will work if there is still a Canadian that needs to cross the border into the usa and ends up in donald trump's america? Will they let them pass? Will they confiscate the car?
I suspect that will depend on how brown the driver is...
Hey China, you are welcome to sell me your clean cheap car!
Sure, but they'll be spying on you too.
What's better? To be spied by your government that can use your data against you or the foreign government who can't.
In an ideal world there'd be no spying, but we don't live in one.
I think the rest of the world is getting there too.
So glad that Biden decided that protecting Elon Musk's financial interests was more important than Americans having affordable electric cars.
Every centrist who rails against tariffs but makes excuses for Biden's protectionism is a massive hypocrite.
That's what tariffs are for. There is no contradiction and no hypocrisy.
Nobody is against tariffs as a concept, every country protects some industry that is deemed critical (like agriculture) with tariffs and trade barriers. What people complain about are wholesale, generalized tariffs on everything from everywhere based on a ChatGPT suggestion.
Protecting a key industry like electric car manufacturing using tariffs is fine, using tariffs for everything because you just learned the word, is not.
It's so pink. I want it!
Once again, this news makes the man happy.
Ah, I see that the 50-cent army has fucking arrived, too.
We know
Here ya go
Dude. Where’s the NSFW tag?
Interesting, because I heard recent reports of huge amounts of inventory and large upfront manufacturing costs painting a picture of a company with extremely large amounts of debt to service. Some likening it to the Evergrande property company.
I doubt it's on that scale, but I could easily believe BYD is another hyper accelerated company with shaky fundamentals.
If possible, every country should be self sufficient in areas they have. We were almost fully sufficient until those assholes sold everything to make a quick buck.
(Guess the country)
Edit: hint-we sold our sugar production to France so they can manage it better but instead they closed it so we have to buy sugar from them.
Edit-edit: It's Czech republic
Not really narrowing it down there
