I’m enjoying this. Also Musk went out and said that he wants barriers on trade or else the Chinese companies will dominate the market.

I thought Musk would be happy, because he truly wants to save the planet doesn’t he? It shouldn’t matter if he or someone else makes the best electric cars then?

I think it goes without saying that if you want to protect your domestic market, that having trade restrictions and tariffs is essential. Especially if you have higher labour and environmental standards. So I do support Tusk in that matter. I still think he’s a twat though.

But don’t they already have that in the US? It seems that brands like Kia are not nearly as big in the US, while they have explosive growth here in Northern europe since they get top reviews.

Does Kia really get good reviews in Europe? They seem to be best known for their enormous fuck ups in the US.

Yeah they are at the top of most reviews here. They have a bad reputation from before but trying to clean up their act. The Kia EV6 is very highly rated, and Kia Sportage as well.

Wouldn’t that be in breach of WTO rules? Certainly tariffs based on carbon are likely moving forwards. Protectionism doesn’t help anyone long term.
