until the American automakers go bankrupt, as you said, then the Chinese automakers increase prices 10x.

Americans can also buy EVs from countries other than China. America can also subsidise internal EV production.

My point is that we shouldn't give a fuck about petrol loving manufacturers.

What a valuable lesson.

Respond to user demand and environmental pressure.

Don't arrogantly assume your polluting product will remain market leader.

Don't build ever bigger vehicles just to avoid particular regulations.

Do you even understand what below cost means?

Yes. Would you like some oil industry case studies?

No amount of modernization will counteract it.

Have you heard of R&D investment, continual process improvement and economies of scale?
