I wonder how long will famously inflation tolerant and humble Americans tolerate worse cars at higher prices.

> Even the European Commission and those EU governments that support the anti-subsidy tariffs only expect a temporary breathing space for European companies to adjust and develop. **The companies themselves, mindful of their tenuous footholds in the Chinese market and needing to forge joint ventures in Europe, generally oppose the tariffs.**
Uh what? Then why is the EU imposing tariffs? I need a source for this.

Just read this article lol. Yeah Americans just do not like EVs, do not buy them at anywhere near the normal rate, and thus cannot dictate the international EV market. This is something that we are not used to and will not in any way like, but heyo.
There are a few glimmers of hope for the legacies. GM has genuinely very good battery architecture in their Ultium pack. Ford is building a number of large battery manufacturing facilities in the south. Competition with Tesla will be good for them, and I like that at least a few members of their C-suite know they have an innovation problem.

>In that case, Dunne says, the global car market could divide in two: a high-priced low-tech island comprising the US and Canada and a cheaper, more digitally connected market for the rest of the world. (Mexico, which is part of the US-Canada trade bloc but also exports cars outside it, would probably straddle the two.)
Oof that’s a depressing combination of words to read
