    I keep seeing foreign EVs that are affordable, and don’t use gas. No wonder we can’t have them in America.

    Ah, Jim Farley is hailing China again.

    In June 2025, Farley said, “It’s the most humbling thing I’ve ever seen” after he came back from a China trip visiting EV firms.

    In October 2025, Farley said he and other executives came back “terrified” after a China trip visiting EV firms.

    You can read in here and here. All three reports are praising China, but are poor on content (and it’s basically the same content). Oh, and yes, alll three were posted by OP, but you’ll easily find more of this Farley-stuff here and across the web.

    If you can’t make a product appealing enough for the consumer to choose over your competitors without government intervention locking your competitors out of the market, then maybe you shouldn’t exist as a company any more

    It is too late. Canada and Mexico are moving forward. It will be hard for the US to ignore.

    My car was 19k in 2021, the same model is now 30k. Nothing changed in the car, the manufacturer has had increasing profit margins and it isn’t even an US manufacturer.
