That’s why BMW is getting spanked by BYD.
That’s the point. The best engineers can either build tanks or weapons.
Clearly, its a losing game to focus on that.
That’s the big question. In the long term, how can the US keep their lead? Chinese and Indian companies will become the big players. How else but with a war can the US stay ahead?

That’s why BMW is getting spanked by BYD. That and their pignose cars are fucking hideous now
