    How about American workers learn to work for the same wages and working conditions.

    If you want companies to pay a living wage with strong unions and safe working conditions, then competition with other places that don’t bother with those things becomes near impossible.

      No. We can still pay workers much better and make much more lower priced affordable models.

      Stop giving the CEOs, upper management, investors, etc., millions and millions of dollars. I don’t care what anyone says.

      We can have the sub 10k priced EV, or even less, like China has. They can still make money on luxury/performance “status” models.

      This is all about keeping extreme wealth for the extreme wealthy. Wall Street, etc. Full stop.

      We can have very well payed workers and much cheaper yet still quality vehicles.

      EV manufacture is mostly automated… This argument makes no sense. 8 people to build an ICE. you only need one for an EV.

      Are these tariffs based off how they treat their workers? Do countries with good working conditions not have tariffs?
