It’s a scenario that terrifies America’s auto industry.
Chinese carmakers set up shop in Mexico to exploit North American trade rules. Once in place, they send ultra-low-priced electric vehicles streaming into the United States.
As the Chinese EVs go on sale across the country, America’s homegrown EVs — costing an average of $55,000, roughly double the price of their Chinese counterparts — struggle to compete. Factories close. Workers lose jobs across America’s industrial heartland.
Don’t be so quick to adopt Chinese products.

Imagine that with cars.
As for read and replied to on a Chinese made phone…I’ll gladly bash Chinese stuff when it’s made of pure lead and toxic but this is an American manufacturing issue not a Chinese one… same thing happened in the 70/80 with Japanese automotive manufacturing due to the US not making what people want…
Quality control? Safety standards? Phhhh those only add cost!
Buy an affordable car from XYSSJ brand!

One really bad deaign out of thousands made in 120 years of manufacturing. Still a pretty good average.
They had a few other famous failures (though not nearly as bad as the Pinto) including the Edsel and the Bronco 2. Both of which they removed from production and moved on to make something better.
Ford is literally the antithesis of what I was saying about a brand that just disappears after a fuck up rather than owning it and improving on the next one.
