Tbf it is the PHEV and I only drive 4 miles to work.

BYD would be my full EV choice, but you know, American *"free trade market™️"

    Saw a BYD in the wild a few months ago. Mexican family had driven it up into Texas on family road trip.

    I got to see the interior. All the extra features. Drives like a dream. It blows out Tesla's back walls.

    They'll never let you buy one in the states

    Democrats are, if it's even possible, more beholden to the domestic auto industry than Republicans.

    We are never getting a president who will let Chinese EVs into the US.

    I was talking to my dad about this, not only is it tons of jobs that the automakers provide, during war time and other extreme times such as covid, automakers can transition to making other things such as ventilators at a rapid pace.
