1. Cool

2. They are also excellent cars. The Chinese are going with BYD and Tesla is being left behind.

   [“Inside China Business” discusses the teardown of a BYD vehicle.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGgo_wpV1ug&amp😉 If you search his channel for BYD, there are a lot of videos on EV cars.

   Biden has put a 100% tariff on these cars. [Wolff explains why this is stupid.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCdDSOMoIn0)

3. Americans: noooo electric cars bad, the fossil lobby doesnt like it

   China: lol, electric is more efficient and is the future

4. This is great news! Now we just need to do this in the US. But we won’t get there by slapping 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs.

   If there is one thing US car makers have shown it is that they can’t shift the market quickly to EVs. Elon can’t ramp up production (it never works when he tries).

   What’s more important, shifting to EVs to help with the Climate Crisis or a trade war with China over their EVs?
