That’s all nice, but our iX battery is great and will last 200-300k miles easily holding 80+% of original capacity. Don’t worry about it.

I’m just bloody pissed I can’t buy any Chinese EVs that are 1/3 to 1/2 of the cost of our cars and way better. F America and the stupid tariffs/trade barriers because Americans can’t compete.

I wouldn't even if I could. Why would anyone give their money to a company that hands over a portion of it, including all of your telematics and private data, to the Chinese government?

We need to start thinking big-picture here and not just about our pocketbooks. Yes, the tariff thing is extremely stupid and unwarranted EXCEPT in the case of Chinese EVs. Keep those THE HELL out of the US market.

China is pure evil and Chinese-owned companies should be boycotted and/or banned from our country. The Chinese STEAL our IP and then try to sell it back to us at half the cost. There should be penalties for stealing our tech. Severe penalties that hurt their economy in a big way.
