Only with a massive tariff. Way higher than the one on foreign trucks

Volvo and BYD have already said they're committed to landing their cars here in the 30k-40k range. There has been speculation on whether that means they're taking a loss or that means they can make them very cheaply but no one thinks they're unserious about it.

Funny thing is the Chinese are giving out massive subsidies to counteract those tariffs.
