awesome. Chinese EV innovation continues at a rapid pace - it's going to transform the world. In the meantime, america is defunding EVs and locking themselves technologically into the past. Its so short term and self destructive - the US car industries are quickly going to become irrelevant globally, only selling oversized fossil cars to the domestic market while the rest of the world leaves them behind.

American cars already are irrelevant globally aren't they? The only US car brands I tend to see in Europe are Tesla (not for long though), and Jeep and Chrysler which are now French / Italian owned.

Ford is still somewhat relevant in Europe, though possibly less so than it used to be. It certainly has a decent chunk of the van market, but you don’t see its cars as much as you used to.

Oh, I'm an idiot. Ford are still US owned right?

But the cars can push ads at stop lights! And sell your data! Surely that’ll help US car makers be cost competitive!
