Your challenge today is to find me examples of mainstream Chinese cars that are blatant ripoffs of American vehicles. 

Yes.

We’re talking about an authoritarian regime that NEVER ever owns up to its own enormous problems, who silences any and all who dares speak even a slight negative against the party...

Do you need an actual response on why we should care what China says or...? Should be obvious.

I’d like to propose a 100% woke tax on any car that isn’t a Telsa. And now that full self driving will be ready next week (roughly), and I have all my workers focused on finding another job rather than doing quality work, combined with supercharger folks I just hired back that can’t stop shaking, Telsa’s are more…

One trip my son (4 at the time) had his entire suitcase filled with his train toys. I wanted to take it all out but he looked at me with those eyes and said,”I just want to play trains with grandpa.”

Outside of a 3 week European trip where I shared a very large bag with my wife I tend to only do carry-on.

Work Travel: Carry-on only

I check one big bag every time I go on a major trip and I have yet to have any kind of trouble. I don’t need to worry about fighting with overhead space, so I’m not in any rush to board. I don’t need to tiny-size my toiletries, I can just throw them in the checked bag. I don’t know why this is a big deal for people.

So because youre too stupid to buy quality good they should be tariffed and support the quality USA made garbage that is equally as bad because patriotism?

Wall-E shows what this endgame looks like...

Oh good, protectionism in defense of fossil fuels. Hurrah.

Let the market decide....or not

He won't think that when the Chinese retaliate and make Teslas twice as expensive over there. That's one of their biggest markets. 

Because unfettered capitalism exists only to boost the bottom line of the companies we want it to. 

I can’t imagine what the Environmental lobbyist are doing right now. Millions spent to convince Government to make paradigm shifting investments in infrastructure and rule making only to have the Domestic OEMs slow product development.

These kind of tariffs have historically either not worked at all, or they’ve backfired horribly. The chicken tax was a similar move against the VW T2, put in place by demand of the UAW because they knew American light trucks couldn’t compete. Flash forward several decades and now every pickup truck is enormous because…

Yeah I don’t see Tesla surviving, with a full pivot to robot taxis. They can’t even figure out level 2 autonomous.

Once all vehicles can communicate with each other, it should be relatively easy to convert.
