That's hardly a new situation. There are no American cars on European roads with the exception of occasional Fords.

Also the Chinese aren't selling to the rest of the World. The EU has also imposed harsh tariffs on BYD and others to protect its industry.

Tesla has a factory in Berlin.

BYD had had a bus factory for a while in Europe but is just about to roll the first cars off their plant in Hungary.

There are lots of BYDs, MGs, and I'm even starting to see some Xpeng cars around in Scandinavia. They are selling.

Jaecoo and Omoda are starting to show up in the UK

There are basically no American cars being sold outside America.

This has nothing to do with EU rules and everything to do with the Big 3 deciding in the early to mid 2010s that SUVs sold in America were so profitable they really didn’t need to do business anywhere else.

Can vouch for that. Ford and GM (Chevrolet) used to have a big presence in Brazil but now Ford is almost gone and Chevrolet is going the same way

Sadly RAM seems to have a small market selling to manchildren in Australia.

We’re now trapped in a new capitalist-globalist paradigm: when one country produces goods faster and cheaper, the response isn’t to compete, but to isolate them. And the world’s oligarchs couldn’t be happier.
