Or just fix public transit for fucks sake. Evs are a distraction from the problemm

[–] [email protected] 2 points 24 minutes ago

Why not do both? I like public transit idea but does not work for smaller/rural communities

The benefit of a tarrif on Tesla vs opening the market to China is that we can easily undo it if there is a US coup, Trump gets medicated, gets burned, whatever. There's still the potential that this is a temporary situation, not the new reality. If we open up to a third party, we can't put the genie back in the bottle.

Get them to help build factories in Canada

That feels like "robbing Peter to pay Paul". We don't want to be dependent on either nationalist autocracy.

I dont think there is a single privacy friendly EV on the market.

If a Canadian company could build and export an EV that wasn't loaded with invasive sensors and where the data recording and uploading was opt-in (or non existent), loads of US Americans and Europeans would import them from Canada.

I think you can expand that to all cars, not just EVs.

Hopefully ICE bans will expand in the near future

I hope aptera will save us.

I think we should build them ourselves.

Canada has the same incentive to not open the door to Chinese EVs that the US does.

Why would they shoot themselves in the face just to splash some blood on someone else?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Canada doesn't have the incentives that the Americans have at all. Correct me if I'm wrong. America's incentive is to protect its own EV industry, Canada doesn't have an EV industry of its own.
