China’s Electric Vehicles Are Going to Hit Detroit Like a Wrecking Ball

Perhaps the Big Three deserve destruction; after all, they hooked us on S.U.V.s in the first place and then fell behind in the E.V. race.

After years of persuading Americans to buy oversized SUVs and pickups instead of sedans, it comes back to bite them in the ass.
Gimme that Chinese-made, $11,000 EV, like yesterday.
- Seriously! Fuck luxury vehicles. The everyday US resident needs affordable transportation to get around this private transit country.
- If they have to go through all the safety tests that the US requires that other countries don't, as well as be able to handle recalls that the US requires when a quality issue causes a safety concern, then I don't think they'll still cost $11,000.
  
  True, but even if such tests double the price, it's still cheaper than anything else offered, what's the lowest right now, $29K?
  
  $11,001. Final offer!
God dammit. I had Miley Cyrus stuck in my head for two fucking hours after this headline was posted yesterday. I don't even fucking like that song. WHYYY
- It's a Car-ty in the USA
