      How dare you point out the hypocrisy?! Seriously though, people downvoting you need to understand that while democrats are better than trump on most issues, they’re largely the same on this particular issue, so it’s not exactly a point that can be pinned solely on trump.

      Those taxes didn’t really impact many things that American consumers can already buy.

      They mostly hit Chinese manufacturers that were on the edge of releasing sub-40k EV in the US. Example: Geely’s Volvo ex30. That thing is a very compelling alternative to what Tesla offers.

          My point is that Biden’s 100% tariffs on Chinese manufacturers EVs do not increase the cost of living in the US. It basically keeps it the same, since Americans really aren’t buying BYD or Geely cars coming from Chinese manufacturing lines.

          Trump’s proposed tariffs would increase the cost of goods people in the US are already purchasing, not just the goods people might purchase.
