Four years after the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement (USMCA), Mexico and the U.S. face the prospect of cheap Chinese electric vehicles dominating a fast-growing market and undermining GM, Ford, and Tesla.

      It’s both. China’s lack of regulations make a bad thing worse.

        But we’re not in china. If they want to sell here, they have to adher to OUR regulations. I don’t understand why you’re referring to China’s regulations all the time. They are irrelevant.

        Besides, I can think of countless Tesla incidents just our of my head where teslas started burning or teslas were driving into random white trucks with Autopilot for no apparent reason.

          I wish they were, but those cars are made in China. There’s a lot that gets looked the other way.

          And someone at Tesla said recently in an interview that they wanted to do a certain thing with the Cybertruck but couldn’t because “we couldn’t get the regulation changed on that one”. (I don’t remember what that specific thing was)

          Aside from the batteries and fake auto-pilot, the non-Cybertruck Tesla’s have a very good track record.
