Predicted for this quarter. Musk has been scoffing the idea, whilst watching them catch him and simultaneously shooting himself in the foot with his own plans.

Meh, the US will slap enough tariffs on these things to make their own Autoindustry competitive again.

So will the EU.

But china has a gigantic middle-class that can afford these things, so I hope they all switch to EV en masse.. it's a win for the planet!

Tariff slapping had been tried by Trump. Very poor outcomes. There will be a more moderated approach, but we will need to see how that pans out
