I'm surprised "make our pickups and SUVs even bigger" wasn't suggested.

Seriously Western EVs are not bad. They are just too expensive.

I'd settle for cheaper.

The company that can make an EV that gets you 100 miles range for $10,000 and can fit at least three people will become one of the dominant players.

The worst thing is GM has a decent competitor (a little bit pricier, but not terrible) in the Bolt, but they are not producing many of them with their new release, and are instead refocusing on larger, worse EVs.

BYD is picking on GM because GM is the only legacy US automaker making a full range of decent EVs.

The actual thing they need to do in order to compete is in-source parts manufacturing in order to take advantage of economies of scale... Like the Chinese EV manufacturers do.

Basically, toss out the Chicago school of economics thinking and go back to their roots as an all-things manufacturer. Ideally, they'd innovate as part of that by adopting new technologies like 3D printing to bring costs down and accelerate improvements.

I don't mean "3D printing for prototyping." They already do that. I mean, 3D print the final part. If it works for fucking rockets going into space, it can work for cars too. Especially electric vehicles which are much simpler to make.

Chinese manufactures are subsidized and they have a regulated home market to their advantage to build from. It is a well thought out cooperation between companies & government, which the USA and the EU are lacking.

I wonder if we tariff Chinese EVs on the difference between labor rates, what would that look like? And how much of the difference is something like socialized medicine? Most foreign labor doesn't have to spend a significant portion of their paycheck for health insurance.

Ditch cars, build/use rail.

Is this the country that bans anyone saying anything negative about the federal government?
