...oh, and Tesla can't keep pace with a full electric surge, you have to allow Chinese titan BYD into the US auto market.

I saw some short a few months back detailing how the Chinese have some radically improved battery car. Probably nonsense but it was something like: 5-minute charge for a 300-mile range. I dismissed it as too fantastic to be real, but...

11BYD has a $10,000 electric sedan. No idea what the range is.
It will catch fire spontaneously.
Pontiac Fieros caught fire in the 80s, and I’ve seen some of the first Hyundais imported catch fire.
And if you rear-ended a Pinto...
BYD won’t succeed just as nobody else has dominated the EV market as well as Tesla ‘until’ the charging infrastructure is better than Tesla’s. Which, it won’t be. Fuck Chargepoint, Fuck Electrify America and Fuck the rest. None of them are maintained as well as the Tesla charging network. Plus, nobody else has a $100k super car 0-60 in 1.99 seconds with equal or better self-driving technology. I would never put a chynese electric car in my garage.
They literally have square miles of brand new battery cars left to rot all over China. All that crap leeching into the ground after a few years is gonna be a real mess.
All the more reason to export them.
I do not trust the Chinese electrical car. I do like the one that the “not my problem” button and yeets your smoldering battery into traffic.
"it's me or you" button
