You aren’t gonna get one with union labor in the u.s. and even if it was made by non union labor either the workers would be horribly underpaid and/or the quality would be lower.

It’s not right to compare prices between countries with vastly different price levels. Are u.s. farmers doing the country a disservice by not selling pork for $0.50 a pound? No we accept that we make more and that we should pay our fellow Americans more so they can have the same quality of life we do. Ideally this solidarity should extend internationally but we should at least preserve it in the U.S.

China needs a $10,000 vehicle because that’s all there middle class making $20,000 can afford. The u.s. doesn’t, plenty of middle class Americans are buying new $30,000 cars, they just aren’t buying electric ones, they’re getting huge SUVs and pickup trucks. What the u.s. needs is to disincentivize or even ban people from buying large gas cars that don’t need them.

Eventually if everyone’s forced to get evs the used stock will turn into evs too and you’ll get your $10,000 ev without destroying the American auto industry and millions of good paying union jobs.

Not if you make the watermark part of the output itself

Your thinking too long term, gotta think how will this effect this quarters earnings?
