There's a fucked up thing happening in America where they say it's free market capitalism but instead they add massive tariffs to foreign vehicles allowing our shit companies to remain shit. Otherwise we would have Chinese EV's with all of the bells and whistles for 20-30k that last 200k miles.

Honestly he has a point though the Chinese Government subsidize their car industry so they could be sold at a loss and still keep going, while thats impossible for any company that has to make a profit to survive

You know if that’s really true, maybe we should be discussing whether ford should still exist or not
